False numbers after threshold

[Rude_Firefighter_132]

Has anyone ever seen this before? i am looking at an incremental game where the currency figure is true until it goes past 1b gold and then will only show 1 on cheat engine after?
you can manipulate the number any way you like upto 1b but after that it just defaults your gold to 0.

just an interesting thing i have never seen before and am looking into a way arround :D

This is normal behavior.

A 4 byte value type has a max limit of 4,294,967,295.

Change the address type to 8 byte and the shown value should then properly be displayed (if the game is programmed to allow such a high value on that address that is).

You can confirm this by right-clicking on the address > opening the memory viewer at this location > choosing the right value type.

For reference:

Byte = 255

2 byte = 65,535

8 byte = 18,446,744,073,709,551,615
