It's only accessed once.

Basically the game is loading a file and I know exactly which file it is. However it only loads it once and stores it in memory. Now I assume after this is done, it reads certain values from it and stores it somewhere else in memory. When the characters are changed, the file is flushed from memory.

My problem is I can't seem to find exactly when it is loaded into memory so I always miss the oppurtunity to see what is accessing the value I'm trying to monitor.

I know it loads the file after selecting the character because the array is not present in memory until doing so. I've tried setting breakpoints on kernel32.Readfile but I never seem to come across the file.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Find the call that is opening the file and follow from there in olly. It doesnt necessarily have to use ReadFile.

Try setting a breakpoint on CreateFileA / CreateFileW to see if those API are being used to read the file. If so you can follow the callstack back to where the file is being opened / read.
