it's strange, I try to change far cry 4 values, but they don't change. whatever I input, the new value stays for half a second, and then reverts back to the previous value.

I looked at videos on youtube, and they manage to change values. Maybe ubisoft patched the game for it not to work anymore?

I tried another game (red alert 3), and the values changed no problem. what's going on?

I'm in single player mode.

you likely only found the display value, try finding the real value (can be encrypted)

hmmm I'm not sure what's the difference between the display value and real value. can you give me a clue?

But I look at videos on youtube, and I do the same as them. somehow, it doesn't work for me....

Display value is just a copy of real value.

Right click your address(the one whose value is not changing) there is an option called "Find out what accesses this address" once you click that you will see a box, then what you should do is change value in-game (as in if it is health just increase it or decrease it),then you will see some changes in that box,just link the screenshot when you have done this much.

hmmm it's strange. I tried again, but it only partly works. I tried changing the amount of ammo, and it worked. But I tried to change the amount of points in the arena, and that doesn't work.

I did what you told me, MR.realdoge. Here's the screenshot. I hope I did it right.

hi, sorry for the late reply. Here I have the screen shots.

first scan.jpg: the first scan, with the value being 60. 60 points in the game.

found address.jpg: found the address that I want to change its value. The value is now 80.

right click.jpg: just to show what I clicked on.

first debug.jpg: the screen that shows after I clicked on "find out what accesses this address". I named it "first debug" cause the program warns me that it's going debug mode.

second debug.jpg: The screen that shows when the points in the game goes from 80 to 90.

is that what you wanted?

Just to save some time on having him respond to you, he wants you to click on the instruction in the last window. They are:

cmp [rbx+50],eax
mov [rbx+50],edi

if you click on "more information", it will give him the few lines of code surrounding each line of code along with some other information and he can continue helping you from there.

Clearly what's going on here is that the game is storing two copies of the ammo. The one you've found is being checked against another value in that 'cmp' instruction.

In the 2nd instruction, the fake value is being updated to be the same as the real one. So you need to find the source.

mov [rbx+50],edi

means:

move the value of edi into location pointed at by rbx+50

So you need to find out where edi gets its value from. And then you can go about changing that.

break and trace, or you can go to the very beginning of that function.

Click on the cmp and then click on "show disassembler"

This will show you the game's assembly code. Show us a page of the code with some space above and below the cmp instruction
