I am scanning for pointers in VVVVVV and when i find the 4byte value corresponding to the way the guy in the game is flipped it works on my pc no matter how many times i reset the game or reset my pc, but when i try it on my friends pc it points to nothing????

I have done a scan on my pc then a scan on my laptop using the results from the other PC, but it either is gives me 0 or all bad pointers.

the lowest i can get the pointer count by just using my 1 PC is ~60,000 and I am using 2048 size with 5 layers.

also i am using the exact same game.exe file on both systems.

any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Not every pointer you find is a static base pointer. You have to filter them out. Let your current pointer scan open and restart the game. Attach CE again to the process and go to your last pointer scan result. Hit STRG+R (I guess) and rescan. Restart your computer sometimes and rescans again.

That all comes also with the built-in CE tutorial. Give it a try.

If you've done a rescan on both pc's, all the pointers that are left do function on both pc's.
But if you wish you can always try a higher level scan and/or bigger max offset (e.g 5 with 3092 or 6 with 2048, or even 3092)
