Is it really that bad to dish out 3$ to support a software that you've gotten so much use out of and will?.
I'm willing to jump through hoops, but where at? Is that a one-time payment? If not, is it an option?

Patreon, should be a link either here or on it's home page but it would be a recurring monthly subscription, however it's one of those where you can cancel at any time. :)

so... it was literal months... if not a year..
and NOONE was kind enough to punish CE dev by releasing patreon version for free?
or at least upload a compiled version.....
seriously...
i hope ce dev reputation be ruined for locking up stuff that previously was free..
and asking for support predatory monetization is......
OOF
What do you mean punish? Dark Byte made the app, he has every right to ask money for it. Why should his reputation be ruined and it makes him a bad guy?

Personally I don’t like all the malware crap I have to dodge to install too but it is what it is I suppose. At least we get it free in the end

Thanks. One last question, I read the public version doesn't allow you to install where you want to, does the patreon download allow you to do that?

his reputation should go to 0.
for predatory cashgrabbing without giving alternatives.
and not releasing "missing setup" or at least "not virus infested" versions.
like... 7.4 on patreon = 7.3 released free and without virus ads.
where is that?
all what we have is virus warning on current 7.4 downloader.AND NONE OF ANY PREVIOUS VERSIONS ON SITE..
(also i illiterally can't install 7.4 as it won't allow me to download it with loader from official site. it just errors with virus warning..
and i won't mention that even if i could dl it... installing a CE core that comes if you install it properly without "missing setup"
is worst possible thing ever... as ton of games anticheats just triggers on it and won't allow play at all.)
_____________
it's like releasing a free to play game. run it for years and then switch it to buy to play with forced subscription....
same shit as now with CE
pay or nothing......
that's worth nothing but punishment.
____
and i never be able to understand ppls who want to support it and paying for such predatory things...
______
forcing to pay and call it "support" is bad and wrong..
especially for things that was free all the time(pre 7.3)

You can use GitHub mirror which is free of all this malarkey.


EDIT: Oh wow nevermind, my condolences. There is no GitHub version either. I wasn’t aware things changed so much.

Please ignore this post (should just delete it but you already got the notification and would wonder what I said 🙃 )

fact
there "is" github version..
exept.
code in it is broken and won't compile at all
by giving tons of warnings and error at the end
and probably broken code there is also a bait
"hey give up and go on patreon"
shit like that......
_____________
still that's actually weird for me
that noone else is protesting against that forced cashgrab
___________
(still. let me remind you. i could agree with 7.4 "timed" patreon exclusivity IF 7.3 and all previous versions was available.... but now...
we need PROTEST and get our CE for free as it was)

The virus is Cheat Engine itself, not the ads:


I do not support previous versions. If there is an issue, I will fix it in the current version. Going to older versions just causes scattering and people using buggy versions.

at least 1 previous version (7.3 missing setup) should be available for those who can't dl 7.4.

Yes but read the rules first viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20

Some people don’t like their work being used without their permission so ask permission first
