Hello, I'm trying to inject some code to an application, I've found an address that I want to take over (unfortunately it's not static and finding a pointer is probably impossible - anyway, I can't), and I know what instructions are writing to the address, but every time I do an injection, the app crashes as soon as I switch the window and select the app's one. Even if I don't add any instructions, for example

Try moving the injection point up 1 instruction.
It's possible the game's original code is attempting to jump to that second instruction you are overwriting.
When that happens, it starts in the middle of the instruction and executes the wrong bytes.

Also, use the AOB Injection template, instead of Code Injection.
It will find the instruction's new location for you.

CE can't compile the instructions

mov [edi+ecx*4-10],eax
mov eax,[esi+ecx*4-0C]

So are you sure you are re-creating the bytes properly ? I think that's what happening. Post the instructions around where you are injecting.

If CE compiles them for you, it's possible the bytes aren't proper so make sure the generated code at code-cave is exactly like it should be (check the bytes)

code should look more like this in order to run right I would think
