|
|
Hi all,
I'm trying to add a given address manually, but it does not let me freeze the value. I'm not sure what to do with this, but CE does not detect the address given by someone else. Are there other steps I need to take to enable it?

I didn't exactly understand what this means.
But here's a correction to your information: Cheat Engine doesn't "really" freeze the value given. It only writes and rewrites the value constantly and of course, it's not as fast as we hope it to be, because it's going to drain resources. That said, the game could be writing this value constantly and it could be faster in some cases depending on their implementation. This might give the illusion that Cheat Engine is not freezing the intended value.
What do I do, now?:
Right-click the address select "Find out what writes to this address" and see what instructions are writing to it. You then can NOP the instruction popping up (it might cause a crash) and it might work to write your own value
What do I do, later?

To clarify your question, I was trying to use an address scanned by someone else, not my own. Someone on YT gave away an address that he found for anyone to use for certain cheat. When I add that address manually, it doesn't bring any effect and the value is displayed as "??". Although I tried to select "Find out what writes to this address", nothing is shown.

That is because OSs like Windows use something called "address space layout randomization" (ASLR). In short, that will make any address you find in the session useless in the next session. An address found by someone else will not work for him the next time he runs his own game, let alone your game.
There are techniques used to circumvent the ASLR effect and they are not so easy to explain by typing here.
The techniques:
Pointer scanning (Beginner friendly)
Assembly scripting (Complex)
You can find them on YouTube to find out what they are
