Cheat Engine error

Post by skeleten »

hello folks.
im trying to use cheat engine in wine
but when im trying to open the process im getting this error :
"error while opening this process"
im on new installed system so it might be playing with wine config
i tried variety of versions of CE but all return this same error.

@skeleten,

I've tested Cheat Engine 6.7 on Gentoo GNU/Linux with Wine Development version 2.19, with a 32-bit WINEPREFIX.
Works fine here...

Obviously I can't help troubleshoot your particular issue - because you've supplied us with no information what-so-ever (Wine version tested, host Operating System used, etc.) :roll:

Right now we are getting somewhere!

So you'll get (in the Wine terminal log):

Code: Select all

err:module:import_dll Library ksecdd.sys (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Cheat Engine 6.7\\dbk64.sys") not found
when Cheat Engine tries to hook the dbvm driver (aka dbk64.sys).
You can replicate this test by going to the Cheat Engine / Help / About dialog box and pressing the: Your system supports DBVM ; message link.

This is because Wine implements a very limited set of builtin kernel drivers, e.g.:

Code: Select all

ls -hl "${WINEPREFIX:-${HOME}/.wine}/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers"
So tl;dr the Cheat Engine dbvm functionality may never work under Wine.

hi bob.
i also try to run wine in a 32 bit mode : WINARCH=win32 winecfg
the core of my problem is that i cant open a specific process..
Game.exe (which is Diablo ll LOD )
it seems like any other process is opened fine ...
and when i try to enable the options under extras i get the driver couldnt be opened its not loaded or not responding
error message.
im starting to suspect this is permissions problem...
