How to use Cheat Engine tables
A Cheat Engine table is a .CT file you open in Cheat Engine to
enable cheats in a single-player game. The whole process takes about a
minute. Download Cheat Engine, open the table, attach it to your game, and
click Yes on the Lua prompt. That is it.
Steps 7
-
Install Cheat Engine
Download Cheat Engine from the official site (cheatengine.org) and install it. Only use the official source. During setup, decline any bundled offers.
-
Download a table
Open the table you want on this site and click Download. You get a .CT file directly, with no surveys or redirects. Check the SHA-256 or VirusTotal link if you want to verify it.
-
Launch the game
Start the single-player game and load into your save so the process is running.
-
Open the .CT file
Open the .CT file in Cheat Engine (double-click it, or File > Open in Cheat Engine).
-
Attach to the game
Click the glowing computer icon in the top-left of Cheat Engine and pick the game from the process list.
-
Click Yes on the Lua prompt
Cheat Engine will ask whether to run the table's Lua script ("This cheat table contains a Lua script. Do you want to run it?"). Click Yes. This is normal and required for most tables to work.
-
Enable the cheats
Tick the checkboxes next to the cheats you want, or use the hotkeys listed on the table page. That is it.
Common questions
Is the Lua prompt safe?
The prompt is Cheat Engine warning you that the table runs a script, which is how most cheats work. Every table here is open source and checksummed, so you can read the script before running it. Click Yes to let it run.
My downloaded file opened as text instead of saving.
Use the Download button on a table page (it saves the
.CT file directly). If your browser still shows the text,
right-click the button and choose “Save link as”.
A cheat stopped working after a game update.
Game patches can move things around. Open an issue on the table page with your game version and which cheat broke, and it can be updated.
