So, i've been trying to get a Pointer Address using the "What access/writes to this address way" but not so successful at that coz target exe is crashing. Probably anti-debug packager. Is there any other way to get a Pointer Address?

try a pointerscan
find the address that you're looking for, then generate a pointermap.
restart the game, find the address again, and do a pointerscan for that address. Give it the previous pointermap to compare against, select/fill in the old address and then scan.

If nothing found, try more levels and/or a bigger structure size.

If you run out of RAM, try it without a pointermap, but you will need a big harddisk

Also, you can close the game while the scan is running (after the progressbar part) or just play if you like....

Yes this was an issue for me before. I did this but it took like forever to finish. Not yet finished until the game became unresponsive and just crashed. XD

you can just close the game and do other things when the pointerscan is running (including playing the game itself)

I've only tried it on windows debugger and kernelmode debugger. Any option I should know on VEH debugger? Might try that today.

VEH might prevent the target from crashing. You can cycle through the different breakpoint methods, too.
