Using cheat engine or memory scanning applications can lead to temporary or permanent ban in games that extensively require online data connection. Using cheats in co-op, PVP and other forms of multiplayer gameplay should be avoided not only because it is wrong but also because you can be banned forever from playing the game you have purchased. In my personal opinion, you can use a cheat engine if the game is 100% offline or if cheats don’t ruin the multiplayer experience of other players in any way (more on it below). Some gamers frown upon people who use cheat engines to modify gameplay attributes while others have no problem with it. So if you are modifying some risky variables in a cheat engine that can break save games, it is a good idea to backup save files beforehand. Note that in-game save mechanisms can save modified values to save-game files.
For instance, if you are playing a game with in-game currency and currently holding 1000 gold pieces, you can use cheat engines to find the variable that stores the gold amount and change it to get increased in-game money. But with some practice and trial and error methods, you can reduce lookup time.
There can be hundreds of thousands of variables in memory and it can be tricky to find what you are looking for. Since everything is done when the game is running, you will immediately see changed values within the game itself (sometimes a change of frame/scene is required). You can use these cheat engine apps to locate game variables and their addresses and then change their values to get modified in-game attributes. These apps attach themselves to a running game process and continuously scan memory in real time. How Cheat Engine Applications Work?Ĭheat engine applications (also called “memory scanner” or “memory debugger” apps) can be used to find values assigned to game variables by scanning memory occupied by a running game process. While GameConqueror is not as advanced as Cheat Engine, it gets the job done and it is the only Cheat Engine for Linux with an easy to use interface. The Cheat Engine application is not available for Linux, however, another application called “GameConqueror” based on the same concept and features is available for Linux distributions. Many users who play games on Windows often use the “Cheat Engine” application to modify game parameters and player attributes to enhance the gameplay experience, get over unnecessary grinding, complete speedruns and so on. The article covers a guide about using the GameConqueror cheat engine in Linux.
