|

ok, so i'm trying to hack this game and i managed to find the static pointers, but for some strange reason, it points to somewhere else each time i restart the game? can someone explain this behavior? am i dealing with a multi-level pointer? |

try finding another pointer, its best if you add all pointers from pointer scan and check which one works after the address change |

i've already tried that and it seems like all of them are changing. these are static pointers... i dont understand |

try increasing the pointer scan range ( more levels, bigger offsetsize, bigger address range ) to get more results |

i went back and tried it again. this time i noticed the address of the pointer remains the same, but the offsets constantly changes. how do i find a static offset that doesn't change? |

no idea.. havent dealt with this before and didnt know it was possible lol, try code injection method instead, if there are no crc checks. although it might not be possible, what are you finding? |

alright for example, i found this static pointer:
0042C700 + 3DE1
that points to a certain value. the odd thing is the offset changes each time i restart the game.
example:
0042C700 + 30A1
sometimes the entire pointer itself changes. i don't have a clue why it is behaving like that. is it a timestamp or something of that nature? |
