I've been noticing that in newer game I can sometime (and sometimes not) find the address for a variable I’m looking for. But when I freeze the address or try to write a different value the game changes value back and CE has no effect.
What causes this? What can I do to work around it?
On the most recent game I even found a instruction that altered the value, and I replaced it with a no-op but that also had no effect.
So what seems to be going on is that either I’m not finding correct address, or the game is somehow detecting that I’m trying to overwrite the memory and quickly changing it back faster than CE can overwrite it?

So what’s the deal? I tried searching the forums for a solution/tutorial but can’t seem to find anything.
I think it would be helpful if someone made a tutorial on how to use CE with these newer games that don’t play nicely.

Just in case you cared I’m trying to alter the cash in Star wars: Empire at War.

This happens to me too when every I try to hack a Flash game.

I'm messing around with SW:EAW right now myself. With the cash, change your search to a float and search for exact values from there.

The population limit is what's currently driving me crazy.

Ive also had this issue.

I can find the memory addy i need for "jump", When i change the value (of the memory addy) it does nothing. And everytime i search for it, and see what writes to or read to that memory addy i get :

7c9106e - shr ecx, 02 = unsigned divide by 2 2 times
01ad21be - mov [ebx+ebp] ,edx
01c35060 - movdqq mm 0, [eax+08] =64bit bla bla

The first one always comes up when i debugg it to see what reads/writes to the addy - the other are somtimes diffrent. When i change the bottom 2 (Fill with code that does nothing) it takes away alot of the games shaders or rendering)

I know the value to look for and no that its a float. But unlike most of the other stuff in the game i know the jump feature is hidden in the game.dll and it must be stadic (or dynamic). Any help would be cool

Its because CE is a client side editor and some games store some memory on your computer, that is why you can hack those. The ones you cannot hack(well permanantly) are games that store all memory on the server, so the hacks you make will only effect it isually until next time you login.
