Hi,
I’m experiencing a weird issue where an anti-cheat is somehow detecting cheat engine.

Just some background information:
Compiled CE with modified strings
Signed driver is being used to communicate with cheat engine plugin that handles all memory operations.


I know for a fact it’s the anticheat detecting the cheat engine in some way with scanning, because the cheat engine works perfectly fine for all other processes I’m “attached” to.

The strange thing is cheat engine will find values on the protected process after clicking first scan, but the game will crash its self after the scan is COMPLETE. Not in the middle.

The even weirder thing I found out is even if cheat engine is NOT attached to the game and I scan notepad for values the game will crash its self AFTER the scan.


Any insights on wtf is going on? Maybe their cheat engine is doing something after rpm that they’re detecting?? No idea what’s going on.




EDIT: forgot to mention the game will crash with the error code access violation. And no I’m not editing any memory in the process simply only reading. Also changed the scan settings in cheat engine resulted in same issue.

-In that case, it may be scanning the temp directory. DB would have to confirm, but maybe the scan results are temporarily stored and saved to disk following completion of scan. I don't know if the data is encrypted, though; never checked. Probably not, since that would probably slow things down.

You can set a custom scanfolder in settings

But could also just be the next scan button being enabled that triggers it, or found count label containing a number or the addresslist having a previous value column, or anything else

-Seriously. Maybe it would be fun to figure out, just because...

This and the previous value were what was triggering the game to crash its self.
Thank you a lot, I should’ve thought of this.
