Hi. Im using speedhack for some certain games and hacks. And there have to be precise timing in these hacks.

For example:
There is a catapult game. And as long as i hold down the key it increases its throw power. Between 11.5 and 12.5 second it has greatest power. And after 12. second it starts to decreasing its power.

I aimed for 12 second and wrote a script. That script hold down that key for 0.4 ms under 30x speed. It is equal to 0.4*30=12 second. theoretically, the catapult makes its most powerfull shot and the stones goes longest distance. But it doesnt work like this, in the game. I have measured and tested many times. In every run of the script, cata shots in different power levels and almost none of them the best shots. So, 30x speeds arent stabile.

What is limiting speedhacking? the software or hardwares? How do i get better results with higher speed hacks?

Which pc parts effect speedhackings reliability?


Unrelated question:
Which game parts effects speed of value searching? Cpu, ram which one is limiting its speed generally?

Delay between key press:
There's probably huge delay between when C.E captures your key press and between the game captures your key press.

I'd recommend you to simply find the address of that value (unknown > increased/decrease > repeat).
And then force it to be 'fixed' at max greatest power.

speedhack is affected by the speed of your graphics card and your cpu. (even memory) If the game is waiting for the gpu to render a frame it may not update game states (e.g vsync lets the cpu wait a long time when it's pausing for the screen to refresh)

Also, if it's doing calculations it may not be able to keep up

Value scanning depends on cpu and memory. It's multithreaded so the more cores you have the faster it will be.
Also, harddisk speed will be the bottleneck if you find a LOT of addresses

Lowering graphic settings can help.
Closing other programs could help too.
Setting game priority real time in task manager is not necessary it can even screw you up.

Also the value might be dynamic.
So use changed/unchanged.
