Cheat Engine

Hello CE Forum,

Is there any suggested method to successively change a value, like Money or HP. but over a LAN game? (More specifically Anno 2070) And maintain synchronization? I am creating a program in VB to disassemble the save files for the game, but alternatively I would like to change these values.

So my question is, do any of you have an idea on how to change values over LAN and stay in Sync? Areas of CE you suggest I learn? Done a little research thus far, no result.

Thanks in advance!

as far as i can tell and my experience says, you can cheat in a lan game if you're the host
i tried and it works just as you were playing singleplayer, no sync problems.

perhaps it's because the games i cheated on were old

This is because the game uses peer<->peer connections instead of host->peers
they all contain the full gamestate, including how much money the other player has

Have you tried using cheat engine on all connected computers, and have them all change your money at exactly the same time ?
It might require multiple tries to get it done at the same time

Of course, if you intended to cheat without the other players knowing about it, then no, I don't think it's possible

Hmm, alright. That probably is the case, being Host -> Peer. Guess its best to know when to give up =)

Thanks for the insight!

you could freeze the value on both computers and perhaps be lucky.
let us now if it works, i'm curious Smile
