February 12 2025:Cheat Engine 7.6 Released for public:
January 20 2025:Cheat Engine 7.6 Released for Windows for Patreons (Mac and public will be here soon):
I'm glad to announce the release of Cheat Engine 7.6. It has taken a while but I did manage to cram in a few neat fixes and improvements
My patreon members can get it here
(The public release is here now as well)
Please reports bugs and give suggestions to improve Cheat Engine so next version can be even greater!
Changes:
No more version numbering in the main caption. Only the about screen now has it
can run without admin and asks for admin if needed (you can set to run as admin in settings as well)
better error reporting (Especially if using the debugsymbol version)
symbol synchronization. Symbols are shared between CE instances and remembered when reopening CE
Speedhack v3 now replaces the old speedhack in windows. No more speedhack dll's to inject (more dll's to follow in the future)
Speedhack also works better in unity games now (no need to turn of vsync anymore)
byteTableToxxx now support an start index
autoassembler command AOBSCANEX - Scan only executable memory
c compiler: added __stdcall define
c compiler: windows: auto assembler can deal with stdcall mangled symbols names, and c compiler can deal with unmangled symbols when stdcall is used
c compiler: header files are used as table files. And tablefiles can have any name now
added Java info similar to .net/mono info
improved the .net info classlist performance (especially noticable in ceserver)
ctrl+space on selected bytes in hexview will make the disassembler go there
bunch of mono info improvements
lua: treenode.Index is now writable
redesigned the internals of structure dissect. Expect many new bugs there, please report! (I already know a few of them, but just waiting to get a report on them before fixing ;-) )
updated the tcc library to a more recent version
{$luacode} doesn't need dll injection to function anymore
auto assembler DB command has been updated to allow relative changes. e.g: DB +1 +2 will increase the bytes 'db' is done at with 1 and 2 respectively
you can't destroy luafile stream objects anymore. You now have to destroy the luafile itself
added more language support for AA scripts
added a new debugger interface: gdbserver
error out scripts that try to access GUI controls from other threads. (remove threadsafegui.lua if you don't want it. But you will have a buggy CE)
tablist can't be clicked while scanning is active
removed the close button from the comments dialog
memoryregion view columns can be sorted now
C code: ANDROID define set on android targets
lua: disassembler view now has a SelectionSize property
lua: caretX and caretY are now exposed to synedit
lua: TSynAutoComplete can be created
lua: ModuleLoader can now load streams and tablefiles
memory records can now set a value on freeze/unfreeze/restore to original on unfreeze
memory records can hide the checkbox and choose to move the description to the furthest left
you can now link a memoryview hexview with a structure window column, so it's address changes when the hexview changes
patchscan will now tell you it's not going to work when you don't select any module
improved dark mode visuals
added option to ignore the upper byte of a pointer when doing a pointerscan (ARM memory tag security feature)
groupscan now supports aobscan types as well
aobscan in hexadecimal mode now supports the following operators: >XX : value has to be higher than XX,
disassembler ARM64: Added some colors
.net info: improved the class search
.net info: static methods don't need an address anymore
.net info: static methods now have a different color
.net info: added a config window where colors can be changed
.net info: invoking a method allows you to create objects using the dialog
encodeFunction results generated in another architecture can now can used by decodeFunction
structure dissect now follows the setPointerSize() directive better
added lua include files
cpuid recording in dbvm
complete redesign of error handling in the mono data collector
the monodatacollector is now multithread aware
added a bunch of lua commands to make it easier to create manual process and modulelists
added dmahelper.lua, which is an example script to show how to use direct memory access to get a processlist, and modulelist, and how to hook that info up to CE
some lua callback now have a first parameter so they run even before ce's internal handler
added ceserver command EXTCMD_DLERROR to get the error when module injection fails
improved il2cpp method enum speed
the threadsafe script terminator now shows a dialog asking you if you wish to kill the script or not
lua: Added loadNewSymbols() so not all symbols need to be reloaded on dll injection
lua: Added setSpecialScanOptionsOverride so you can control which memory regions to scan (handy for emulators)
