Hello everybody!
I am new to all of this and been lurking around for the past days to gather as much information as possible. Because of that I must say I am a bit uneasy asking this probably absolutely noobish question.

I found the address of a value I want to change, I found the Base Address using pointer scans which is "app.dll" + myOffset.

I managed to get the base address of the module in c++ and double checked with the Memory Viewer in Cheat Engine, the address seems to be correct. However, when I simply add the Offset to the base of my module I get access violations.

I checked the memory (ctrl+g and put in "app.dll" + myOffset) and indeed the only thing there is an add operation. While this explains why I cannot read from this memory region I fail to see where I can get the actual address from that I am searching for.

Best Regards,
Tri

read the 4 byte value at "app.dll" + myOffset

Sadly it appears that I am doing something wrong, perhaps casting it to LPCVOID changes the actual address im trying to access and thus I get the following results? Also, on the right side is what I was expecting to get.

Check the return of ReadProcessMemory, perhaps you do not have permission to read the value or the handle is invalid.

Oh thank you atoms... Should have been the first thing I did. Tried to feed the function the window handle of the application, not the process handle.

Thanks! I think this can be closed now. :facepalm:
