  • Ah, sorry, not mentioning the games was just a silly oversight on my part, Focused on the trees so couldnt see the forest. I’ve given a passing try to a few others, but these are the ones that I’ve given a serious try to since the update.

    Proton

    • Cyberpunk 2077
    • Kingdom Hearts
    • Stalker 2
    • Pioneers of Olive Town

    Natively:

    • ETS
    • Pillars of Eternity.

    I mucked around in all these easily and without headache until the OS update.

    I spent several hours trying to wrap my head around scanmem’s CLI last night to try some stuff with it since you mentioned it, but the command line just would not click in my brain, and anytime i tried to find info it was usually about cheat engine on windows… but then i found out Game Conqueror was just a GUI for scanmem so I installed that and mucked with that, I dont know what I did but I did manage to get it to work once and edit a value in PoE. but that was just from mashing random buttons and settings in a frustration after hours of trying so I have no idea what caused it to work, and havent been able to replicate it this morning.

    and, again, thank you for your continuing generousity with your aid and help.



  • Gotcha, thanks for the tips on that first part.

    As per the last part, It apparently can sometimes find the initial value, but not any changes in the value. That CL snippet I posted before was the first time it found the first value i entered, but crapped out and found nothing on any followup changes to that value.

    Its not like its a big deal, Ultimately its just me futzing around in old games for my own enjoyment, its not like I’m critically losing anything… Just weird that it suddenly stopped working when I updated, especially when you highlighted a thing it should have most likely been… and that not be it.

    I appreciate you spending your time to write these large and informational replies, Thank you, they are helpful even if not on the immediate situation :D


  • I’ve had to dig through shady sites to download drivers for printers or scanners that are perfectly fine but the manufacturer decided not to support the latest Windows versions

    Windows Vista being the widest known example, basically the KT Boundary of computer drivers.

    Meanwhile my ancient Laserjet 1100 works out of the box in any Linux.

    Brother Laser Printer I found at good will for 5 bucks worked right out of the box, too. I’ve still yet to put a toner cartridge in it, lol.


  • my ptrace_scope file has 0 set inside it, which i assume is the least restricted from what i’m understanding and shouldnt be causing the issue?

    but just on an off chance i tried to run the echo command, and even with sudo it says i dont have permission. so I dont know whats up with that.


    I’m an idjit and realized PINCE is a gui for a CLI command, so I quickly loaded up a game just to do a quick value search to get the results and this is the error

    I think that region 00 failed is the problem.
