I am trying to find pointer addresses for collectibles in a game, but after rescanning the results the values disappear and turn into '???'.
Tried this on multiple occasions and got same results or 0 addresses.

I also noticed once I found the address of a certain collectible it has the same last 4 digits. So I'm wondering if there is a different alternative to pointer addresses.

Nevermind, I figured out it was a multi-level pointer.

Hey there, I'm currently having a problem with multi level pointers can you share any insight as to how you got it working? I understand how to trace back to manually get a pointer chain but it only works for me in the ce tutorial, not in any game lol. Upon searching the "value of the pointer needed is probably" address, I get no results in a game, but in the tutorial it works fine and i am able to fully trace backward to a green address. Are the games trying to block it and is there a way around it? thanks

two things:
1: Pointerscan tool

2: The "Value of the pointer needed is probably" can be ignored. You have the address you used find what writes/accessed on, and you can see the offset (of not, +0)
so, the value of the pointer needed is the value you used find what writes/accessed on minus the offset
