I am sorry to appear noob, but i haven't managed to understand how Speed hack works. What does it actually do that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt for certain hacks?

speedhack modifies the timing routines a game calls to find out the current time.

if the faked time is faster than normal, animations and other stuff will go faster.
It usually won't work in online games, as the timing is done on the server, but in a few cases you can actually go faster or slower

Thanks DB. That would make sense, and i was felling that's what it does.

From what you are saying, then that means most game would calculate time based on a standard routine available from Window, such as in a dll , or something similar? I wonder if that's the case because Speedhack is just a tick box, without any need for memory change etc. To work with most games then they all have to have something in common then

Thanks

EDIT: thanks for the rep too hacker ! Very Happy

yes, GetTickCount and QueryPerformanceCounter are the most often used functions to get the time. By modifying those functions the game will think time is faster or slower than it actually is

another game is unreal tournament 3 (useful in capture the flag and fun when used with the impact hammer and running at someone)

And almost all single player games

I remember back playing Planetside that there was what was called a "speedhack" but it was not something you downloaded it acually had something to do with your task manager and the set affinty.

I too am new at all this and in fact excited to learn.

BTW.. thx for the approval/activation.
