![]() ![]() ![]() The game starts with a fixed amount of coins, as shown on the top right corner (100). The example only gives you some idea about the process of finding variables. But this exact approach may not work in every game. The example below illustrates how you should proceed to increase in-game currency called “Coins” to 500 from 103 in a native Linux game called SuperTux2. Even new instances of a game can have different memory addresses. Each game is different and occupies a different memory range. You can’t define one best method to use the GameConqueror cheat engine in every game. Example: Modify In-game Currency Using GameConqueror GameConqueror usage can be best explained through an example. More installation instructions are available on its wiki page. GameConqueror is available in the repositories of all major Linux distributions. You can install GameConqueror in Ubuntu by executing the command mentioned below: It works with native Linux games, WINE games, SteamPlay (Proton) games and even with game emulators. GameConqueror supports exporting and importing of cheats, though the memory addresses can change each time you launch a program or game. You can isolate program variables using its “Value” input box and then changing parameters as needed. It can perform quick memory scans as well as full thorough scans to identity program variables and their values. GameConqueror is a graphical frontend to command line cheat engine / memory scanning app called “scanmem”. As a rule of thumb, avoid using cheat engines on multiplayer games that regularly connect to game servers (unless you know what you are doing). ![]() Almost all multiplayer PC games come with anti-cheat mechanisms nowadays and any attempt to modify game memory can lead to irrevocable bans. 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. ![]()
