Nice, but no longer open source as of like two years ago, and the creator apparently likes to put surprises in the installer that lead to deliberate memory leaks and random evil laughter being played over your speakers. This is supposedly to punish users for interfering with the installer (which normally tries to make you install shitware), but apparently this behavior has also been triggered by normal users accidentally. I’m not running that shit on my machine, it’s about a half step away from being malware now. A real shame as I remember CE 6.3 back in the day being really nice to use.

Since the CheatEngine dev is an asshole, there’s an alternative I use instead:

Probably not exactly matching in feature parity but tbh I only use it to edit RAM values to get around MTX currencies or bad game design choices like Wreckfest locking all vehicles/parts behind a boring as sin uninspired single player grind when I only cared about multiplayer shenanigans.

pawalled, also its been scummy for a long time regardless of platform, and all the cheat makers are moving to their own private platforms that don’t even seem to work in wine

Nice! It worked fine under wine when I tried it, but having a native version is neat
