Been a while but glad to see this place is still around. Anyways...

Godot 4 uses CoreCLR now so the standard Cheat Engine mono dissector doesn't work with it. Any plans to add support to this? I was going to check the latest source but it seems the git hasn't been updated since 2023 and now everything is Patreon pay walled. I'm not complaining, I understand everyone has to make a living but is this a planned feature? Also is there any way to obtain the current source or is that pay walled currently?

Excellent. Does the next public release have a date?

Soon ™

7.6.5 was supposed to be the 7.7 release, but I couldn't stop myself adding new stuff and improving the newly added items

so recently I made beta version 7.6.6 and hopefully this time I can manage to make a release build

If you attach before the game has loaded or jitted the functions you're interested in they won't show up.

call reinitializeDotNetSymbolhandler until what you need is available
or try the more aggresive collector option where ce injects a .net dll so you can jit the methods yourself

What's the issue with instances suddenly disappearing during game?

I made an example of this issue with slay the spire 2. You can see an instance of the field 'player' on a new game after attaching, but if you start a new run, all instances are suddenly gone. I didn't demonstration but running reinitializeDotNetSymbolhandler() doesn't fix it either. But re-attaching to the game instantly picks up the new instance of the field including the old one from the previous run.

Is this a bug or something I don't understand about the .NET features? It seems as though the classs instance changed and cheat engine doesn't pick up the new one unless you re-attach.

maybe the class handle has changed

try executing lua command:

With the static inspection mechanism not without restarting the dotnet data collector

You could try injecting a c# dll that references the class so it can't be that easily relocated

Though I think after it has changed once, it's less likely to change again (maybe because eventually it does leave a reference intact)
