I have a few games on my Steam account, which actually make savegames impossible to use from another account. I enjoy once in a while getting a savegame from another player who didn't go through the game the same way I did, without the burden to start from scratch all over again, or just exchanging with my father or buddies.

I could successfully transfer some of my saves for Shadow of War, by following this post : viewtopic.php?p=186747#p186747.
Looking at the Cheat Engine tables, it seems pretty simple, "just" need to change the ID pointed at, right ?

Now, I'd like to do something similar for another game (Wolfenstein II, the New Colossus). Since I already have the tables for Shadow of War, I was thinking of training myself to find the same pointers that are in the tables, but honestly I don't know how I should proceed. I tried to look for my Steam ID, over several restarts of the game, but I get like a dozen matches (vs 2 in the final tables). So going from there, what should I do ? Trying to scan for pointers on all those entries directly ? Try to check where they are used ?

I'm pretty much a beginner with Cheat Engine, and haven't done more complicated stuff than the tutorials in the wiki ^^

Perhaps I should rephrase my question then, in case it was too messed up to begin with.

Here I'm trying to find the same 2 pointers that are in the table.
When I am searching for addresses with my SteamID as values, I get like 10 of them, even after filtering out a few of them.
When I restart my computer and start again, same thing. The addresses are different of course, but the number doesn't vary much. Still too many.

So how can I further discriminate and reduce the scope back to 2 ? Once I know which address to target, I can try to look for pointers with pointer scans / pointer maps, but I somehow cannot even make it to the step of knowing which address to look for first.

So here I am again, after trying for a while with Doom (2016) this time.
I could get 3 runs where I only have 3 addresses containing the desired ID.
So I generated two pointer maps that I want to use for scanning.
I don't really know which pairs to investigate, so I guess I need to check for all combinations ?. One pointer in each set seem to end consistently with a 8, so perhaps I can use that ?

Somehow, the value returned by the steam.dll seems to feed the others, but I cannot attach the process fast enough to be able to see where this code is called from. Those seem to be set pretty early after launch.

How would you handle it from there ?

If you have another computer/laptop. Run the game on that, find the value and compare pointer scans with the pointer scan saved from computer #1.

This helps eliminate many false pointers.

The problem is that I actually don’t get pointers at all with those settings. I can try increasing the level but are there other things I should look for first ?
