Overwatch PC – Meaning of Values on Network Graph

Speaking from my coding experience; If I am understanding this correctly, your pointers point to memory addresses where certain values reside which you want to modify. A pointer is just a variable that instead of saving some value, saves a memory location.

You need find the addresses again for every time you restart the game. The reason for this is that the Operating System keeps track of allocated memory and which processes that have allocated that memory. Each process maintains its separate memory space. Memory is not an infinite resource so when a process exits, is shut down or killed, the memory tied to that process is released and becomes available for other processes to use. When a process needs a certain amount of memory, the operating system attempts to allocate that memory somewhere in the memory where there is enough space and then gives the process a link to that memory. However, depending on the current state of system memory and all the other things that are in it, you can never really be sure where that memory might be found. This causes the addresses to be different for each run.

Here's a link to Memory Addresses at Wikipedia and there are plenty of other resources on how computer memory work available online.

This capability is completely possible! Just not available unfortunately.

If one could make a server hosting program that performs the baseline task of hosting the game itself, and translates the net code of each version, and disperses the unique net code to each console type (ie PS2 DNAS or PC version net code), then this would work! This is exactly what square enix did with FFX, so that everyone could play across all the platforms.

But, this does not currently exist. And would take a very long time to create.

Best present option is to run PS2X on the PC, and have a Local LAN party, or use a VPN setup like XLinkKai (which is specifically designed to play LAN capable PS2 games over the internet). Also allowing for an even playing field ;P.
