Hi guys, first to give some background on my situation, recently a game/application had a major update from the developer which caused nearly all of my AOBs to "break" (no longer returns any results). It seems like a lot of instructions either changed or shifted around, I managed to find a few by manually tracing it like before but still a lot of old functions from my scripts I cannot find that simply.

I managed to get a copy of the old version before everything broke, scanning that version still returns the results I need so my question is; is there any other way I can find these functions in the new binary by making comparisons to the old one or maybe searching for something else unique in that memory region? Maybe there is some function to assist in spotting the differences between the two?

(I posted this in General Gamehacking in case maybe something other than CE can be of help here)

Generally, people will use structure offsets in their patterns which are victim to this kind of update that happens from time to time. Ideally, you will want to make your patterns only include the main opcode bytes and not the sub-information as required parts of the pattern.

For example, if you have a block of code like this:

Wow just realized I had read this and completely forgot to reply, I feel like an asshole. Thank you so much atom your tips were very helpful, I managed to update things a lot simpler than I thought (using a combination of your methods and also string searching for common things with IDA)

Cheers and thanks again ~
