5. Corrupted Cheat Engine installation

• Fix: Reinstall Cheat Engine from the official website (fearlessrevolution.com). Delete the Cheat Engine.ini file in your %APPDATA%\Cheat Engine folder first.

3. Hexadecimal vs. Decimal Confusion

Sometimes you did type something in, but Cheat Engine misinterpreted it or the format was wrong. 90 for NOP instructions).

• The Issue: If "Hex" (Hexadecimal) is checked next to the value input, Cheat Engine expects characters 0-9 and A-F. If you type a letter like "G" or "Z" while Hex is checked, or if you paste text that isn't a valid hex string, the scan will fail.
• The Fix: Ensure the "Hex" checkbox is unticked if you are searching for standard numbers (decimal). Only check this if you are searching for a specific memory address or hex value (e.g., 90 for NOP instructions).

Fix 5: Disable any antivirus temporarily (rare)

• Some aggressive antivirus hooks can interfere with Cheat Engine's input validation.
• Add Cheat Engine folder to antivirus exclusions.
