I am trying to use pointer scanning for the first time and it keeps failing saying "OUT OF DISK SPACE! Clean up the disk or stop", I have like 5GB of free space, isn't this enough? or does it really take that much of disk space?

It can take 100s of GBs, it just depends on the game's size.

Oh damn, I didn't know pointer scanning was such a space-eater! I'll now consider upgrading my storage device, thank you Very Happy

Try the CE tutorial, it goes over manually finding pointers. And I use code injection, so no need to scan for pointers.

using multiple pointermaps of different gameruns can also save your harddisk space.

(and make sure the path you write the results to is writable
