Cheat Engine

So after a fresh install I remembered that I still had to install cheatengine and since the table that I wanted to run needed a version lower than 7.0 I went out to look for a legacy version. Both the 6.7 and 6.8.1 (through github) installers force me to install the crapware that comes with the installer. The only option I get from McAfee, Avast and winzip driver updater is either 'Back' or 'Next'. Meaning either you install our shit as well or you don't get to install cheat engine at all.

I've been using cheatengine for a very long time and was always willing to overlook the in your face-ness of these ads. You've got to earn your bread right? I get it but this takes a turn for the dark and honestly, I even think it would be deemed unlawfull according to the GDPR.

I've read some older posts in which was stated that they modify the installer (or at least their part) so I'm not willing to blame this on cheatengine... but please, find a way to fix this.

I don't know if it can work but open the .ct file as a text file and replace the first line with this:

There are ways to opt-out of every offer. It is not always just a 'skip' button. Sometimes its a checkbox, hyper-link, extra buttons, dropdowns etc. that are part of the actual offer description. The option is not always just a button at the bottom.

Looks like it could be potentially pushing the checkboxes off-screen due to your DPI based on how large the text is in the windows.

No, the ad server got updated so that instead of a checkbox you now have accept/decline buttons.

the older unsupported versions do not recognize the code for those buttons, only 7.0 and later do handle it. just disable your internet when installing

Beside the already solved problem I would like to know about Dany's approach and solve the question why a simple table should be incompatible to the newest version of cheat engine, as they are simple xml files. For further problems of this kind it would be useful to know how to update a table instead of downgrading the program.

Most tables work just fine with the current version (At worst perhaps tick an option 2 times the first time when mono is involved). It's just that the youtube video showed them using that specific ce version, or when the table was posted initially 6.8 was the latest and the post said "requires 6.8"

And if it doesn't work at all, then most likely the game itself got updated. Having an older ce version won't help with that either
