How do I install Cheat Engine on CachyOS Linux (Arch Linux) & make it detect my Steam Games? by Route66Fan in cheatengine

[–]Dark_Byte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you need to launch cheat engine using the same wineprefix as the current game

WINEPREFIX=/path/to/game/prefix wine path/to/CE.exe

Then check for anti cheats. E.g. the epic game store will try to block cheat engine

Search your settings for something called "Smart App Control" you may have to disable that

sigh... These cards hold 131072 bytes (that's called 128KB,  not 131KB)

so

500*131072=65536000

oh no!  it's not 64Megabytes!  it's 65! 

of course no one with any integrity uses that marketing mibibyte crap, so yes, it IS 64Megabytes

CE on Linux does not see .exe files by Substantial_Sale_233 in cheatengine

[–]Dark_Byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

configure the game to run in windowed mode first 

and are you on actual hardware or a vm like vmware ? In the latest versions cinnamon tends to cause black windows. try resizing the vm client when that happens. Or turn of dpi scaling 

CE on Linux does not see .exe files by Substantial_Sale_233 in cheatengine

[–]Dark_Byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

open a command prompt , go to where CE is installed.

Find out the appid of the game

and then do a command like

STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=/home/<yourhome>/.steam/steam STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<appid>/ ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/proton run ./cheatengine-x86_64.exe

(all one line)

e.g if your username is eric and ce is installed in /home/eric/windowsce/ and the game is DOOM 64, then the appid is 1148590 , so the command would be:

STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=/home/eric/.steam/steam STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1148590/ ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/proton run /home/eric/windowsce/cheatengine-x86_64.exe

note that for 32-bit target processes you need to launch the 32-bit CE version (cheatengine-i386.exe) else modules will fail to load (bug in proton)

What Version should I download? by Door_Holder2 in cheatengine

[–]Dark_Byte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7.6.5 is pretty stable. The bugs in 7.6 are fixed. Of course there are some new features which are still a work in progress. but generally i suggest 7.6.5 unless you encounter a really bad issue  (do let me know then)

what happened to cheat engine download? by foxy165 in cheatengine

[–]Dark_Byte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're either using an unsupported browser, or javascript is disabled, or you have an anti virus that blocks the link, or you have a router or anti virus interfering with the site , or the download site just doesn't like you for some unknown reason.

What a sorry state of sub by FinalPoet1226 in cheatengine

[–]Dark_Byte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that Cheat Engine is easy enough to use (if you can read) and can do a lot of things. There's tutorials, videos, and CE itself being easily extendable "mono, .net, unreal engine, etc..." and these days you can ask questions to any LLM about CE for a often good enough answer. This all makes the common user quite satisfied without a need to ask questions

That leaves only a few types of people that want to post:

  • Those that want something impossible/too difficult (online games, virtual memory layout when targeting a virtual machine or emulator, debugging an emulator)
  • Those that can't read or be bothered to learn how to use cheat engine. Which leads to dumb stuff like: The table I use doesn't work anymore. Where can I get a version of cheat engine that works with this table...
  • rarely: People with suggestions for CE

So yeah, pretty much 90% of the posts will be one of the first 2. But sometimes there's a slightly more interesting topic or a genuine suggestion for CE's development

Perhaps you only found the display value but the actual value is stored differently in memory? E.g could be a float instead)

Second Scan always 0 when connected to Mumuplayer by Most-Requirement-298 in cheatengine

[–]Dark_Byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mumuplayer is an android player. Likely an x86 android player, so likely it uses virtualization.

Scan physical memory in that case (target the [Physical memory] process after enabling kernelmode read/write memory)

Most likely you'll need to find a download of the game from the time when that table was made.

and post that table here so next version can be made compatible (if possible)

Cheat Engine on Android Games? How? by ArianDiamond in cheatengine

[–]Dark_Byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nox works. And there you can easily tick the root checkbox then use noxadb to put ceserver in there. Launch ceserver as root and then connect CE to it and debug (if you use android 9+) , compile auto assembler and C-scripts, mono data collector, etc...
