I simply change inc to add 1 and it causes it to crash. Why is that? Isn't it basically the same thing?
inc qword ptr [rcx+08] --> add qword ptr [rcx+08],01

Different number of bytes
Code:
48 FF 41 08           - inc qword ptr [rcx+08]
48 83 41 08 01        - add qword ptr [rcx+08],01
Changing it to add overwrites the first byte of the next instruction

Inject code instead of changing it in-place. If you don't know what code injection is, see the CE tutorial. Use the "AOB Injection" or "Full Injection" templates.
