Code:
process.MainModule.BaseAddress.ToString("X")


returns 0x400000 ( probably because file is dll and base address for dll file is 0x400000 )

Pointer offset is "somefile.dll"+008C535C -> 054D1790

So base address should be 0x4C0C434 right?

I also checked every module loaded for process and none of them has right base address (0x4C0C434)

Notes:
Mentioned .dll file is an .exe file which is executed from another application with doing some serverside authentication, updates etc.

This means that the address "somefile.dll"+008C535C points to the address 054D1790. AKA the value stored at the address "somefile.dll"+008C535C is 054D1790.

If you mean that "somefile.dll"+008C535C = 054D1790, then yes, the address "somefile.dll" is located at is 04C0C434 (054D1790 - 008C535C).
