Cheat Engine

gaming04

I made a table with over 50 options, all out of pointers. Unfortunately, the game will often slow to a freeze. I suspect the reading of the pointers have caused the Engine of the game to slow down, heavily. Can anyone confirm and supply a solution, please?

If it's slow down from cheat engine constantly reading the pointer values, you can set the values of how often to update addresses under settings, raise to a few thousand MS to see if that was causing the slow down.

Sorry, tried that before I even posted here. The game slows down to a freeze every time all the pointers are re-read. I cut the options down to +20 pointers and the game ran, okay.

Could this be a fault of bad coding?
Does anyone else have a +50 pointers table and suffer the same effect?
If so, please share your insight.

Never seen it affect the game itself.
Are all pointers readable ?

(and do you have a notebook cpu or other kind of stripped down cpu ?)

All pointers have been traced down to its root through the long method of back tracing. I went to the very bottom of the code and found master pointers that directly connects to all the variables. I used the master pointers for all 50 addresses. These pointers are all readable.

For example, one of the master pointer is:
[[[***.DLL+64F10]+4]+1A8]

and within that area, all other valuable pointers are stored...
Option 1. [[[[[***.DLL+64F10]+4]+1A8]...+14]+11C]
Option 2. [[[[[[***.DLL+64F10]+4]+1A8]...+7958]+14]+78]
Option 3. [[[[[[***.DLL+64F10]+4]+1A8]...+79A8]+14]+74]
...etc.

Does it freeze every 10 seconds, or is it a almost constant freeze?

Today, I decided to try the table again and found no more freezes. I have no idea what caused the freezes, only that I suspect it may have something to do with the debugger crashing the game; and since I did not activate the debugger this time around, there have been no slow downs.

On debugging the master pointer for [Find what accesses this address] again, my game starts to have the frozen effect--only resuming after a long set of seconds. The freeze happens every time the game enters a loading phase, even when not hunting for [Find what accesses this address]--did I mention the game may be using dynamic recompilation?
