Cheat Engine

[MuckySpud]

Hey I was wondering if anyone has ran into this issue, I am using dbk_getPhysicalAddress within a lua script to get the physical address to then use with the dbvm_cloak_activate command, however when I use dbk_getPhysicalAddress under certain circumstances it will return a nil result. I have tested this by making a simple print script to display what the physical address is.

I was able to replicate this issue by completely closing down cheat engine and the exe, launching ce and then launching the exe. Attach to process and then scan for the physical address of the address I want to cloak then it prints the address result as 0 while showing the virtual base address correctly.

So this problem means when I enable my lua script to enable dbvm on this address it doesnt work correctly, however if I browse the memory region of the address then enable my dbvm script, it will work just fine. The same goes for if I use the print script to show the physical address, it will print the correct address instead of 0.

So essentially, unless I manually go and browse to the memory region, the lua script command for dbk_getPhysicalAddress will not return the correct result.

Does anyone know why this is or what I can do to make it so that I dont have to manually browse to the memory region each time?

I hope my explanation makes sense and if not then let me know and I will try to explain it better with screenshots.

it means the address was paged out

you'll have to read it first. (try readInteger)

That worked perfectly, thank you so much.
