re-game

Use Il2CppDumper on the game executable and global-metadata.dat to produce dump.cs with class signatures and script.json with method addresses. Then load those addresses into a debugger or decompiler like Ghidra to analyze and patch target functions.

Run a value scan, change the value in-game, then use Next Scan to narrow results. Since ASLR changes addresses each launch, use Pointer Scan to save a pointer chain (.pt file) or express addresses as module base plus offset.

Standard Lua bytecode starts with \x1bLua plus a version byte, while LuaJIT uses \x1bLJ with its own version numbering. Their instruction sets are incompatible—LuaJIT uses ABC/AD formats with no Bx field, and LuaJIT 2.0 and 2.1 are mutually incompatible.

The version detection is likely wrong—Lua 5.1 through 5.4 each have different instruction layouts, and 5.4 changed opcode width to 7 bits. Check the magic bytes and version byte first, and watch for obfuscated files with truncated or XOR-masked headers.

Only in a fully isolated environment: a dedicated offline VM with snapshots, never on live online sessions. Anti-cheat drivers detect debuggers, memory edits, and virtualization, so analyze detection points statically and restore snapshots afterward.

Shader Model 5.x and below use DXBC bytecode with SHDR/SHEX chunks, while SM6+ uses DXIL, an LLVM bitcode-style format. Both share the DXBC container magic, so check the shader model version first and look for the DXIL sub-object for SM6+.
