 Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2025 6:05 am Post subject: Cannot scan some memory regions on Linux |
 |
|
I'm getting "scan error: no readable memory found" only to a specific region of addresses from the game.
I have enabled the MEM_MAPPED as well, which still does not let me scan the region.
But using the addresses between those regions work.
I can also scan them via scanmem any value from those specific regions.
If anyone knows if there's a way around this, would be great.
Thank you.

are you using the 32-bit client of CE
in the scan, did you gray out all the checkboxes? By default CE only scans writable memory
do you have a screenshot of memory viewer->view->memory regions, where such a readable section is visible ?
and perhaps also the accompanying /proc/<pid>maps content

I have greyed out the Writable address, I thought of that originally, but these parts of memory are writable. Greying out the "writable" part didn't find the address im looking for.
I'm using CE on 64bit, as per:
WINEARCH=win64 WINEFSYNC=1 WINEPREFIX="/home/nox/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/mygame" /home/nox/.config/heroic/tools/wine/Wine-GE-Proton8-26/bin/wine "C:\\Program Files\\mygame\\CE7.5\\cheatengine-x86_64-SSE4-AVX2.exe"
The prefix has been determined by the Heroic Games Launcher, but im launching CE on the same WINE prefix so it can attach to the PID of the game.

this is the pidmap:
paste.gentoo.zip/zHo7Xngv
I apologize, I can't attach textfiles or non-extension files.

I have attached a example with Cheat Engine 7.6.
In this shot I'm showing what I'm trying to search - the value that's already present in the 4byte addresses bellow, and im able to see the memory viewer of everything without issues.
Only the scanning is locked.
Using scanmem or game conqueror ui scanning works - as a side note, I thought this would be relevant.

"Protect: Write Copy"
Try checking "CopyOnWrite" in the "Memory Scan Options" panel

It worked.
And I have read up on the CopyOnWrite feature, and understood its purpose completely, seems it's the case of already loaded unchanged memory.
I did not see this coming, but it's really good.
Apologies for the not doing my homework.

Omg, I'm sorry I completely misunderstood the "grey out all checkboxes"!
Sorry Dark Byte, reading comprehension skills here were broken.
