What is the most efficient method to freeze a memory address from changing. I was thinking checking with RPM in a thread of the DLL but it would have to loop every say 2mS?



Thanks

as you said, check it in a loop

Yeah only way I can see doing it, but sometimes my thread in the application fails for a certain time then works again. Also, the CPU usage sometimes spikes even with Sleep();

try doing this on a seperate thread, and do sleep(100) instead of 2, it'll be still OK

You don't need to use RPM if you're injected into the process. You can just read the memory directly.

And if you're freezing it, you just need to write the specified value to it constantly, which you'll need to do in a seperate thread if you want it to be done effectively without raping all the other events you need to be happening.

Thanks guys, it works a lot better now!

Thanks! Basically the same thing I have Although the CreateThread needs to be called like this:

CreateThread(NULL, 0,
(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)thread,
NULL, 0, &threadid);

[Nigtronix]

ThreadID needs to be a DWORD
