  • Question
    How do I win at Tanki online?
    Community Answer
    You can't technically hack or win in Tanki. The main objective is just to have fun and compete! Plus, if you hack Tanki, there's always a very high chance that a moderator will ban you quickly. The main objective is to reach a Generalissimo rank. CTF battles require you to capture the most flags possible. DM matches and TDM matches are to kill as many other tanks as possible, just TDM is teams and DM is free-for-all. Finally, in CP, you are supposed to capture points and protect them to get points. Whatever team gets the most points wins. In all of them, there is a certain objective; if you meet the criteria, you also win the match.

  • Question
    How do I determine which results to use when I get over a thousand results?
    Community Answer
    Repeatedly change the value in the game to narrow the results. For example, if you have $20 in the game search for $20 in Cheat Engine. The spend $2 and search for $18 in Cheat Engine. Repeatedly do that until you only get one value left -- the one you want to change.

    Community Answer
    No. Those values are stored in the game server, not on your computer, meaning you can't force them to change with Cheat Engine.
  • Question
    Sometimes it finds the value, but when I change the value, nothing happens. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    This can occur when the address that you have found is not the same as the address that the application recognizes. For example, you may have scanned for an address that you think is the current gold value, but the application recognizes that address as another variable. It could also be that the type of scan you're using (i.e. 4 bytes) is not suitable for that specific value, and you should try using a different type. Occasionally, the value might have changed when you were scanning for it. Try using speedhack to pause the application before scanning for values.
  • Question
    Why does the game crash after I change the value?
    Community Answer
    If you use a value smaller than the maximum, then you have selected the incorrect memory address. In some cases, the game code may malfunction if a value that is too large or too small is used. You will have to use your judgement to ensure compatibility. It is probably best to post issues on the Cheat Engine forums so more advanced users can narrow down your problem.
