Cheat Engine

[OfCavalla]

I have just downloaded Cheat Engine 6.6 on my Mac, running it through the application Wine. It works just fine by itself; however, when I attempt to select "Sid Meier's Civilization V" through the "Open File" feature, I encounter the error message exactly as follows:

"TControl. ChangeBounds loop detected: TCheckBox Left=0, Top=100, Width=122, Height=17 NewLeft=0, NewTop=1001, NewWidth=122, NewHeight=17."

I have no idea what this means. Something I noticed in videos of people using Cheat Engine on Mac is that when they select a game using the "select a process to open" feature of "open file" feature, the applications do not have ".app" after them. Additionally, this does not crash Cheat Engine. It just doesn't allow me to select it for scanning.

Also, I follow the procedure of opening Civ V, opening a single player game, opening Cheat Engine and proceeding to attempt to select Civ V where I am greeted with the error message above.

Any help would be appreciated. If any vital information is missing, please let me know.

Thanks!

I think CE 6.6 support for Lua 5.3 programming language and not recognized webpage style sheet used by LESS, a dynamic style sheet language that extends standard CSS with features such as variables, mixins, operations, and functions.

Looking a less in relation to Linux, the command does seem to fit. In which case, would you know of any way to avoid or fix this error?

"open file" fearure?
do you mean open file in the processlist?
if so, you're just hexediting the file, not attaching to the process. (for ce on wine to function the game must be the windows version also running in wine)

anyhow, regarding the bug, it is a resize bug. (nothing to do with lua). It looks like wine is triggering an infinite resize in the gui causing this error to pop up

@Dark Byte: Yes, my bad. I do mean from the open fie in processlist.

@Corroder: So about editing the Wine registry, do you know the exact name of the file I should edit? I can't seem to find where I should change the value.

All of the settings you change in winecfg, with exception of the drive settings, are ultimately stored in the registry. In Windows, this is a central repository for the configuration of applications and the operating system. Likewise, Wine implements a registry and some settings not found in Winecfg can be changed within it (there's actually more of a chance you'll need to dip into the registry to change the settings of an application than Wine itself).

system.reg
This file contains HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
user.reg
This file contains HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
userdef.reg
This file contains HKEY_USERS\.Default (i.e. the default user settings).

These files are automatically created the first time you use Wine. A set of global settings is stored in the wine.inf file and is processed by the rundll32.exe program. The first time you run Wine the wine.inf file gets processed to populate the initial registry. The registry is also updated automatically if wine.inf changes, for instance when upgrading to a newer Wine version.

An easy way to access and change the registry is with the regedit tool

To navigate through the registry, click on the keys on the left to drill down deeper. To delete a key, click on it and choose Delete from the Edit menu. To add a key or value, locate where you want to put it and choose New from the Edit menu. Likewise, you modify an existing key by highlighting it in the right-hand window pane and choosing Modify from the Edit menu. Another way to perform these same actions is to right-click on the key or value.

Of particular interest to Wine users are the settings stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine. Most of the settings you change within winecfg are written to this area of the registry.

If a key or value does not exist, create it. All values are strings (REG_SZ) unless stated otherwise.

To create a new key if it does not exist:

1. In a terminal, type wine regedit and hit enter
2. Open the tree on the left to the section where you need to add it (e.g., HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine)
3. Select the section you are going to add the new key to (e.g., Wine)
4. Right click and select New->Key
5. Type the name of the new key (taken from https://wiki.winehq.org/Useful_Registry_Keys)
6. Hit enter
