I'm on Windows 10, CE 7.6, Bluestacks 5.

Using ce-server I get a pointer path to find the health value in the android game across emulator restarts.
I can also find the Health by attaching CE to Bluestacks 5 directly as well, but pointer scans return nothing in this case.

How can I find static pointers or otherwise resolve any address across emulator restarts? Also nothing shows up on find out what writes to this address. I haven't found any tutorials or guides on this. I am looking for examples, or leads on what to do.

Help is much appreciated thanks, also I'm not very knowledgeable yet so please use easier terms.

I tried anything I could think of and find/understand but even signature+structure fails...

Is the target process using ARM emulation, or is it a native x86 process?

When doing the pointerscan, tick advanced options, and then "ignore upper byte of pointers"

You could try debugging on android 9 and later

Ignore upper byte of pointers — necessary when pointer high bytes are non-deterministic.

Max levels: 4–6 (more levels = slower but more chance to find a stable chain).

Max offset: 1024, 4096 or 0x1000 — small offsets are more likely to be stable.

Scan in mapped modules only — uncheck if you suspect heap pointers.

After the first big pointer scan, use Rescan pointerlist on the next boot (load the pointermap file from the previous scan) to quickly narrow to persistent chains.

Using these settings with CE Server almost always finds usable pointer paths for emulator-restarts.
