How To Use Cheat Engine - Tutorial With Examples

This is the way these tutorials should be because most other ones take a long time to figure out.

i was trying to use cheat engine on a pretty underground game- there were practically no tutorials for it and the ones i did find were completely baffling... but this was so clean and concise. Hats off!!

As a dad who gets very little gaming time these days, this will be very helpful for games I want to just enjoy, without have to grind away time I don't have. Will be particularly great for Ubi-bloat games.

Yeah exactly. I used to love grinding away in an RPG for hours and hours but I just don’t have the time these days either

[@Serenjyn]

For someone like myself who doesn’t want to create extensive cheat trainers (I think that’s the term) but just wants to tweak the occasional number in a game, I found your video tremendously helpful. I had watched it months ago and had Cheat Engine on my PC but never got around to trying it. Today I wanted to add some gold in “Army of Ruin” to save me a long grind. I rewatched your video and within 5 to 10 minutes I had 9,999,999 gold pieces in my game. It was so easy that I did the same thing with “20 Minutes Till Dawn”. And if the need arises again with some other game I feel confident I’ll know what to do. At the age of 70 I don’t learn new things that often. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@adeerworld]

i think the best way to find a unknown value in a 1m+ list is to to AB testing. Freeze half of the values and see if there is an effect, and then continue to freeze the half that has an effect. with 1m values it only take 20 trys to get to 1 option

[@Poloniumuwu]

not really , that could easily lead to a game crash. I have used cheat engine in the past with a 3d singleplayer game , and freezing even 2 wrong adresses could just freeze my game or crash it ( the freeze was pernament , couldnt just unfreeze the value as that did nothing )

[@adeerworld]

Nice didn't know 👍 thanks for the tip

[@ferryv6740]

I remember using cheat engine way back in i think 2005 2006? Good memories. Still works the same, still easy as can be !

[@poodlezoinks]

Tip: When in Cheat Engine, always tick the box that says "Compare to previous scan", it helps in weeding out incorrect values by aligning or sampling the previous value you scanned. For example, if you are trying to find X value and you get multiple results of the X value. You hit compare to the previous scan and insert the new changed value of X which is XY and the program will then look for results that were X but then changed to XY. Anything that didn't change from X to XY is disregarded. This option helps you find the address you want swiftly. I use it all the time and it never fails.

[@Remo203]

God bless you, i always knew how to change the values for ammo and items but never knew how to change the values for health or stamina in game but well thanks to you now i know!❤😊

[@Swashed_]

Thanks for leaving such a wonderful comment =] I’m happy to hear you think the quality is good. It’s something I keep trying to improve. Also thanks for the feedback I’ll take note of it!

[@eduferreyraok]

a few things to keep in mind: you can use the "unchanged value" parameter, as long as the game is paused or working in the background... another way to mimic the "unchanged value" it's by doing "next scan" several times for the same value. I still did not manage to get the values for speed of walking in Left 3 Dead, or amount of damage per bullet. those may require a deeper understanding of the execution of the code.@@Swashed_

Cheat Engine work also for GTA 5 Online, I gave myself 1 billion and I spent them in 2 months and I had no ban. If you are low level avoid giving yourself too high a value (just for GTA ONLINE). NICE VIDEO and GREAT JOB.

Can I also remove code? Because I have a program that I downloaded, and there is a very annoying pop up that hinders me from continuing to use the program. Is there a way to remove that pop up using cheat engine? Or any way in general?

[@wizardspider]

This is a perfect tutorial bro. Saved me so much time trying to figure it out.

[@San4You20]

thank you this is very useful for me who often play offline games, and not many people explain the details of the use of the cheat engine, you are amazing

[@Swashed_]

Thanks bro

[@revera89]

You can eventually get crazy with it, like change a static address to redirect to empty space in the games code, and then you can do complex programming like setting hotkeys and then activate your cheats based on the key you press, and then go back to continue normal operations. But nowadays, I’m trying to figure out how to just change the values and opcodes and dynamic and static addresses with cheat engines’s LUA scripts instead of actually programming my own injector. some games make it so much more difficult to find the address/value. So it’s good to know some tricks like you mentioned. It’s also annoying when you hack your health display but not your actual health. Cheers.

[@KonaBoda]

This actually makes it seem a lot more simple and manageable than I ever would have thought. I still have some questions/concerns, though, primarily: If you accidentally change a value that wasn't the one you were looking for and it breaks something, how do you fix it? And, if you do that trick to change a code to one that does nothing for invulnerability, and you decide you want to change it back, how do you do that?

[@Swashed_]

If you change a value that you shouldn’t have, then either nothing will happen or the game the will crash. Changing the code to do nothing can be reverted in the code list, which can be accessed in the bottom left corner of cheat engine. Just right click on the code and select “replace with original code”

[@SBmoonbug]

I had been struggling with how to use cheat engine for a long time and your video helped me and everything worked. Thank you so much!

[@y0u_guy]

did you get any viruses with the install? My antiviruses blockes allot of things when i try download it from the official web

[@shiftace11]

This was an excellent explanation of how to use cheat engine! Very easy to follow and understand the reasoning between each click. One thing i wouldve liked to know is this. If you have an RPG for example, that can be played completely offline or online, are you able to manipulate the values, save, then go back online and have these values stay? I think that if can create a save file directly to your PC or console there is a way to manipulate values and make them stay even if you go back online since the save file data is not client side/other inaccessible PC.

[@Swashed_]

Thanks! Yeah you can definitely do that if you’re bringing your offline profile online. I’ve done this with Terraria, Dying Light, Dead Island, and the Borderlands games. In the case of the games I mentioned, you don’t even need to go offline to use it. The server gets the info from your client so you can use it in real-time.

Can you elaborate more on how to do the gained xp increase? Also, if I increase my money, can I go back to playing regularly and still keep my money increase?

[@Swashed_]

So you first scan for the value of how much exp you have, and this finds every memory address that contains that value. Then, you get more exp so the value changes and you scan for the new value, which should narrow down your search. Once you find the memory address, you can set the value to whatever you like. Also, yes, if you change the value, it should remain to whatever you set it to (assuming it’s a single player offline game)

This is a very good one, indeed. Thank you for this video and explanations. But i just wonder few things. I have played Warcraft. I could modify (freeze) population, but i could not do that for gold, for example. Even though i have selected ,,all" types of data, it still could not find it, not through other windows of cheat engine, for processes. Also, for ,,Age of Mythology", i could find for a population, but data is represented as some random, small number, not having anything to do with number that is exact and written in the game. Is there a way to find it faster, and somehow remember it in application so we could find it directly, and how can we recognize data like that (for example, in game it says 20,but in cheat engine it is 6,36235...)? Also, how are those values remembered and written strange like that? Thanks in advance to you, and for others as well if they write something about it here.

My system tells me it is a virus

[@new_simsons]

It isn't

[@7PrincessOfHell]

Cheat Engine itself is not a virus. A few antivirus marks it as malware or PUP because it can attach itself to processes and modify memory. The installer you download through their official website is bundled with a bunch of adware. More information about adware can be found from below antimalware vendors.

[@osufwiffo]

Couple things that were NOT mentioned. When you modify 1 of 2 possible numbers, and it works on the title (display) of a number, like Money. Test buying something to see if that really changed the Cash, or just the display value of the cash. That way you're "sure". Secondly if you change a number and it's NOT correct, change it back, sometimes the number is a test value that breaks your game if you don't set it back to the original value, as it's a diff, an old number they use to compare, or just the display for the UI. It can be other things too, but you'll figure those out the more cheats you create. Finally there's cases where things like cash will require you to change as many as 5 numbers for it to work (that's the most I've seen to date), because they're all used to ensure cheating won't work and your save might get corrupted.

Even with a good tutorial like this, cheat engine is still way beyond the average gamer.

[@Swashed_]

Yeah I mean it’s technically reverse engineering game code..but it can definitely be learned

[@coinop7278]

I used to code in basic. I've been gaming since the c64. We used to call cheats 'pokes' anyway It was easy compared to this. I've realy no time to learn new languages so I guess this cheat app is useless to most people.

[@ishii4830]

Another way to find an EXACT value, is by selecting the option 'higher than' your number, and 'less than' your number, make sure the 'Not' option is selected, that should narrow down results by a lot, sometimes giving you a EXACT number.

This does work on some online games actually one of my favorite games combat master most of all the values can be changed even the endgame currency which you would have to use real money for infinite ammo, flying, etc.. There are plenty of games even big titles that will work online it’s not just single player games but like you said some have anti-cheat but there’s still ways you can do bypasses and stuff even if it’s gonna be more complex it is possible and it happens all the time even on popular anti-cheat But some of the games I play which I actually enjoy there’s some of my favorites have either really horrible anti-cheat like not the big popular ones so there’s very very bad or they just don’t have it at all so it’s really no problem for me so pretty much all online games that I play a lot of of the things are not gonna be server-side especially if it’s a small development team, I found that to be true in most cases in my experience if they’re a smaller development team and especially if they offer the game for free, you’re definitely gonna be able to use lots of these sheets and they’re gonna work

even with online games if you can find out something that the client sends to the server for something such as gold you can run that code or change that value and have it give you more than it should but because the client sends it to the server it will work on the server meaning you will actually get the value and it wont be fake its alot harder to do sometimes but it works such as on forza horizon not sure if its online or not with currency but ive tried to add values before and it went back to normal but then i had it so when i finished a race i changed the code to give me more money than it should and it actually gave me the money might not work for every game but does for most

Hello, I appreciate your informative video and the clear explanations. Recently, I installed Cheat Engine to make some modifications in a game I love, which is on Steam and not an online game. Initially, I successfully identified the value I wish to change by making a purchase in the game. However, when attempting to modify the value in Cheat Engine, I encounter an issue. Despite successfully modifying it, the change only persists for about 2 seconds before reverting to its original value. Could you assist me with this problem? Thank you for taking the time to read this comment.

[@Swashed_]

Hey, so sometimes there’s multiple addresses that are responsible for any given value. Sometimes you have one address that’s only responsible for *displaying* the value in the UI and has nothing to do with setting the value. You would need to find the address that is in charge of changing the value and it just reading from it
