First post. I am a solid programmer, but a total newbie with CE and ASM, etc, and having a problem grasping what is going on here. I've read many posts and tutorials, but I'm having trouble understanding.

my.exe is writing data to 0xCD0DE44 whenever the "gamestate" of my game changes. I've tested it in C# by reading process memory at this address.

However it seems this address is outside of the address range of the exe and outside of the address range of every module loaded by the exe. When I view it in CE there is no module name either (I've Ctr-M'd many times).

I can't post urls, so I attached a .png

Any help is appreciated.

Your address in hex is 0xCD0DE44? I don't see the problem. Why do you say that it's outside of the address range?

Yes the address is 0xCD0DE44.

The exe memory space is 1200000 to 20EAF80. In my screenshot the next entry point is zlib1.dll at 5A4C0000 (it's sorted low to high by base address).

Basically, in C# if I scan every module loaded, I cannot find my value needed, because it's not there. I can find it in C# by reading memory at exactly 0xCD0DE44

I wasn't sure what the chart was representing.

What are you using to scan? If CE, make sure you are not limiting your scan range. CE should be able to find it. If whatever you are using to scan isn't looking for writable or executable memory, then that could also limit your results.

that address is in allocated memory

check out pointers
