I am writing a program in VB that will be changing values of static pointers that I found via Cheat Engine.

But I cannot find valid game address, program shows different that in Cheat Engine.

Code:
Public Class Form1

    Dim address As String

    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        ' convert game start address and static address from hex to int
        Dim address1 = Convert.ToInt32(309954, 16)
        Dim address2 = Convert.ToInt32(address, 16)

        ' add start address of game to static address
        Dim finalAddress = "&H" & Hex(address1 + address2)

        MessageBox.Show(finalAddress)
        'WriteMemory(Of Integer)(sum, NumericUpDown1.Value)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        'Getting address of game

        Dim processName As String = "AoWSM"

        Try
            Dim handle_s As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName(processName).First() 'Get processes with that name to IEnumerable, and get first element
            address = Hex(handle_s.MainModule.BaseAddress) 'Convert address to hex value
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("An error occurded: " & ex.Message)
            Return
        End Try

        MessageBox.Show("Process address: " & address) '''''''''Showing wrong address
        SetProcessName(processName)
        NumericUpDown1.Enabled = True
        Button2.Enabled = True
    End Sub
End Class


I am using ReadWritingMemory module from: www mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=760779

open cmd, do "tasklist" and press enter.

find your game name, and copy it.

cmd is more accurate than task manager.
(except some symbols wont be shown there)

I don't think that the name is the problem, because what will be AoWSM if not the game? The program is not throwing an exception but giving another address than in cheat engine.

Task name only different is ".exe" extension, but with that, it is throwing an exception, IEnumerable is empty.

PS.
I am editing game RAM, but when I want to change value via the program, game shutdowns immediately.
