Ok, now it's saying that the system could not find the file specified... I have the game running, so the file should exist...

    Sorry, that's a problem I can't help you with as I don't have the game.

    About the best suggestion I can come up with is that you download one of the compiled utilities from the page you linked earlier and see if that can access the shared memory.

    If it can, and your code still cannot, then I don't know what else to suggest.

      Hmm, ok, I should have tried that earlier. Those utilities can't connect to the game. I had a certain suspicion...

      It's a slightly different game, so it must be using its own files... Something I doubt you can help with.

      Thanks for all your help!

        If its a different game then it almost certainly uses a different name for it's shared memory. Contact the authors and see if they will divulge it.

        Otherwise, there is probably a utility kicking around somewhere that will show you the names of any active shared memory, events etc.

        If I come across one in my travels, I'll post a link here.
