Thanks for the fast work.
Any possibility it can be used to unlock impossible difficulty? (As in for NG+, it seems currently it only lets you select the difficulty you beat NG on or below.)
Or what would probably be easier, just changing the save file to impossible difficulty at any time.
EDIT: I did see it was possible to change difficulty using cheat engine for the original game here: [Link]
Would be great if it's still possible on the remake.
EDIT2: Managed to do it by scanning for values 0-3, 0 being story, 1 being easy, 2 being medium, 3 being hard, ended up with like 50ish values after changing difficulties and scanning for new values and changed them all to 4 and game registered my save as impossible which was just before the finale. It didn't seem to reward me impossible rewards however so maybe another check for that.
Probably a better way to do it but not very experienced/knowledgeable with it

Hope you enjoy it. Last time I played this on the PS3 and having fun then and now.
I had it on the 360, and back then I was pirating shit too. I had C4eva's firmware to make burnt disks. BTW your No money & nodes lost function is just a generic inventory decrementer. I remember finding it when Dead Space came to PC. It also stops ammo from being taken out of your inventory too if you are reloading. What's funny, is checking my notes for it back then, it looks almost identical to the function you found.
Just a mention i wanna point out, apparently from my testing currently, when you alter any form of value in the game it despawns future RIGs needed for the sidequest to upgrade your security clearance, this CAN APPLY to rigs needed to progress the story, like Dallas' to get clearance level 3.
been testing with just brief credit increases and they instantly despawn.
EDIT: Further testing shows the ones that have already loaded in stick, but any future ones will not load in and remain despawned.
Keep a clean save ready. Once i hit NG+ i'll confirm if this applies to other collectibles.
Wow, that would be evil.
I got the Captain's Rig tho (the one for Sec Clearance Level 1), but I guess that one is bound to the pickup from the character and not just lying around somewhere. I hope I will not hit a dead end once I am in chapter 7.
Not sure what you did to trigger it, but I have been using a trainer + cheat tables (for air + fov) and manually scanned/edited nodes, and nothing happened to me and I just picked up Security level 3.

Any chance of getting a code to use any of the 5 DLC suits, as they are already present in the game code? Thanks
So, the way to generally get this to work is to use a steam_api.dll emulator/wrapper to forge the HasDlc checks the steam_api.dll has. While I tried to use Goldberg's Steam emulator to replace the steam_api.dll, it seems Denuvo has added additional checks upon loading the game with it to prevent DLC piracy. They must hash the DLL or something, and you'd have to overwrite those checks, which Denuvo would catch and say the EXE has been tampered with.
tl;dr You would have to crack both Denuvo and Steam's protection to do it. And BTW it's not worth it, all the suits suck ass. The version I got for $7 has it, and they all suck ass.
Any chance of an inventory editor?
Would like to add the Hand Cannon/Burnished Suit, which it seems I didn't get from completing impossible through my hacky method.

I don't believe this is true for the steam version. Try CreamAPI. check the steam underground.
