of the program. Choose the latest version of Cheat Engine and download the installation file. After installation, an icon will appear on your desktop - you can get started!

Setting Up Cheat Engine Before Starting​

Open Cheat Engine. In the upper left corner of the window you'll see an icon with a computer. This is needed for Cheat Engine to connect to a running game. I recommend launching the game you plan to hack in advance.

How to Use Cheat Engine: Instructions for Beginners​

Let's say you want to change the amount of HP or gold in a game. Here's a step-by-step instruction using Terraria as an example:
1. Launch the game and remember the current value, for example, 100 HP.
2. In CE in the process list select your game.

3. In the Value field enter 100 bytes and press New Scan.

4. The program will show a huge list of different values.

5. Lower your HP in the game to find the address we need.
6. Enter the new value, for example 80, as displayed in your game and press Next Scan.

7. In the address list 1-5 results will remain. Select them and add to the bottom panel by double-clicking.

8. It should look something like this.

9. Double-click the Value button > enter the desired number, for example 100. If the value returned to the previous state, go to another parameter and repeat the same actions until the value 100 appears in the Value section.

10. If everything is done correctly, the new amount of HP will be displayed in the game.
11. You can also check the box in the line where we entered the HP number - then this value will be constantly updated. You can say you'll have an infinite health bar.

Advanced Cheat Engine Functions​

Once you master basic scanning, try:

• Changing value types (4-byte numbers, float, etc.) in settings.
• Using Unknown initial value to find hidden parameters.
• Creating scripts through the built-in assembler - this helps automate hacking.

How to Enable Speedhack in Cheat Engine​

Speedhack by Hotkey​

​

Want to speed up boring cutscenes or slow down time in difficult battles? Speedhack is one of the most convenient Cheat Engine features. Here's how to activate it:

1. In the upper left part of the program select Edit and open Settings.
2. Find the Hotkeys section and choose Speedhack 1.
3. Here you can bind the button that will activate speedhack, and also specify the speed. I recommend setting speed 1 in Speedhack 1, and setting acceleration that suits you in Speedhack 2. This is much more convenient, because if you want to instantly slow down or speed up the picture, such binds will help you.

Manual Speed Setting​

​

If you just want to play a game at some specific speed, you'll need:

1. In the main menu activate the Enable Speedhack item.
2. And choose the acceleration you'll play with.

Where to Get Ready Hacks & Cheat Tables?​

Don't want to figure it out yourself? Our forum has a section with free cheats - there you'll find ready CE-tables for popular games. Just download the file, open it through CE and activate the needed options (infinite ammo, instant leveling). For rare or new projects, check the private cheats section - exclusive solutions for multiplayer games often appear there that can't be found in open access.
