Hi there! I have been reading the tutorials about how to get the pointer for a non static address and i m getting stuck into getting the static pointer address. My situation is the following, i find my address which is not static therefore i try to find the static pointer by going to "find out what accesses this address" and from there i get an "XXXXXXXX" value and "YYYY" offset, then, from the tutorial i have understood that i have to search for the "XXXXXXXX" value to get my pointer adress or adresses but when i do that i find NO matches... How is this ? What am i missing ? Please help!!

Make sure you're searching 4-byte, and that "Hex" is checked to the left of the value you search for.

Also just try using the pointer scanner option. You'll need to filter it a few times and it can take a long time to do the first scan for large games, but it's a lot less effort and the author suggests it for that reason mainly.

Try ranged search
it may work or may not (that if the 053E5640 value is collected from somewhere else with added offset).

search a 'Value between', use 053E5000 in the left text field, and use 053E5640 in the right text field, see if you find a green marked address.


if still not, try using 053E0000 in the left text field.
