Hey there!

I'm new to CE, did all the integrated tutorials and tried some tests on different games but stuck to understand the reason of one behavior..

I have this address I'm looking for, cannot find it in the main scan screen but when I do a pointer scan, it gave me multiple results (I was able to find the right one there).
Is there a reason why some addresses are only find-able in the pointer scan but not the general scan?

EDIT: If it helps, the variable was accessed by only one ASM instruction which didn't contain any offset

Thank you for your help!

Perhaps you missed an offset in an assembler instruction, or there where more than 1 results when doing an hexscan and you didn't evaluate every single one of them

Hey Dark Byte and thank you for answering, I didn't expect to have the guru to answer me at first! Smile

I tried again and took some screenshots to confirm what I was saying (or there is really something I'm missing..).

As you can see I'm looking to find something that points to 24B22E2104C. As there is no offset, I put directly the address in HEX in the main search screen but no result.

However, if I do a pointer scan on this address, I have a lot of results (included the one I'm looking for) as you can see below.
