Hi,

I have found an static address that I need to change. When the game is running and I change it, it works as expected, but I want to make the change permanent, so I have tried to find the code in the EXE file by using the reference of EXE + Offset given by CE, but when I look for it in Hex Workshop (or Ollydbg) I don't find the same code!

Then I look for the Hex string around the address I want to modify, and I find it in other place of the EXE, I edit it as needed, saved, but when running the modified EXE, the expected effect does not appear...

So, what I am doing wrong? Shouldn't a static address in the EXE process be easily hex editable ?

EDIT: the game is X-Wing Alliance

Thanks for any help!

Cheat the game has a good tutorial, the first bit is about a CE detection bypass, but then he explains how to patch the executable.

Thanks you I'll check it. BTW, I found half answer to my question: the modif value was not acting as expected, because another address was writting the value there, so I have ID the code that writes in that address, and I have to see how to modif it in EXE. I'll check that video.

Thanks
