Was looking for a way to edit/cheat some stuff in King's Bounty II and found this:
https://www.wemod.com/

Basically a mod/cheat platform that uses it's own Windows app. Required only an e-mail to get in. Free to use, but offers an optional subscription for some bonuses.

Installed it out of curiosity and seems pretty decent. Auto-detects your installed games, which are further separated into platform-specific versions. Interesting to note, they also recognize GOG versions of the games. Sadly, most of the time, when a game has some mods in wemod, they are not available for the GOG version (usually just Steam). Out of all my installed games, the GOG version was supported in only 3 of them. Seems that what's currently being worked on/which games/platforms are supported for a game is based on the number of votes any given game/platform has. Threw my vote in for the GOG version of King's Bounty II.

So just sort of interested how known/used this thing is around here, if at all.

Seems like a terrible idea to me.

Asking me to identify myself, poking around on my system with closed source software. Even if I accepted that it's Windows-only, I would never run such a scam ("pay for pro" + "free, but closed" == we will, eventually, close that loophole, or make money by doing something we aren't telling you), and wouldn't "vote" for anything. If it essentially redistributes existing mods/patches, it should advertise the URLs freely outside of the app. If you're too lazy to deal with it yourself, I guess you get what you deserve.

I tried it once, but I wasn't really impressed. Haven't touched it since.

I hadn't heard of it. It doesn't seem like something I would use.

Most of it is in the realm of trainers/cheats/game hacks, not actual mods/patches. The kind of thing that is normally mainly done by downloading Cheat Engine and hunting down custom cheat tables for the games you want, which is not always easy (speaking from experience). See the attachment for the kind of thing it mostly offers.

As for the paid part, the primary thing it does is that your vote has much more weight as to what will be worked on next. The main functionality doesn't seem to be limited in any significant way.

It's basically a Galaxy for cheats. I am mainly asking about it here because they do recognize GOG, which honestly surprised me. And even some old retail games which are not available on any digital store, like Battle for Middle Earth 1 and 2.

Used it in the future one time.

Have you bought up task manager while it's running?
Even without any games running, it runs a dozen exe's
And when you uninstall it, it leaves behind many hidden folders.
Compared to cheat engine that uses very little resources, 1 exe and is easily uninstalled.
I think I'll stick with Cheatengine.

Sadly these days that's quite common. There's plenty of applications (including discord) that don't get installed into program files, but have their executables in Appdata. Reason? So they can update themselves without needing Admin-Rights. Most of them leave behind a lot of junk when you uninstall them, not only their data that would belong in this directory, but most installed files as well. Amen to that.

5 .exes, coming up at about 170 MB of RAM.

GOG Galaxy also has 5.exes running, that eat up more RAM than wemod. Other than RAM, usage of anything else is basically non-existent. And same as Galaxy, it will only be running when in use (at least I only run stuff when I actually need it).

Cheat Engine is definitely lighter on the resources either way, but I have stumbled upon games where finding usable cheat tables or cheat tables that did what I wanted was quite difficult/impossible.

I'll try a test uninstall later today to se what (if anything) gets left behind.

Well I checked a screenshot I took of it, it wasn't 12 exe's
It was 19, and that was with no games running!
You have to wonder what they were all doing?
see attached image

Wow, looks as if they create an instance for everything that could be a game and in need for cheats.
Back to GameCheatEngine then :)

Wonder what you did to make it that way. It's 5 for me and no new ones seem to be appearing, even though it detected dozens of games I have currently installed, so it's not what neumi
said.

Have you launched some games with it, or do you just have that many by default? Either way, just exiting the app removes all active processes. Meanwhile, your average web browser like Chrome has 15 .exes running while I only have 11 tabs open. Wonder what THOSE are doing.

As for the uninstalling, it only left 2 files in the install folder in AppData. Can you specify some locations where it leaves these supposed hidden folders?

What brings you to this conclusion?
Are you two running the exact same software on your computers? The same number of programs in the background?
Since that's most likely not the case, of course the number is different on every computer.

I suspect you will find a lot more if you have taskmanager show you active processes in alphabetical order, like in my screenshot.
I can't remember them all, and have no intention of putting that program back on my computer, but there was a bunch of folders and files left in AppData/Roaming.

In his shot they are grouped which is even better. I believe him if he says he only had 5 of them. It really depends on whatr else your machine is running. I just run the program, I have only 4 instances. I suspect that number will go up once I start more programs. You should check the command line of the started processes.
