Fiddled around with the item level, trying to maximize the veteran level bonus on first retirement. Going over level 500 item level crashes the game.

Edit: Trying to get 500 sharp, I've took a bunch of lowlevel stuff on, and equiped one very high. Somehow I've surpassed 500 and got to 530 without shockwave crashing. I miss some logic in those crashes.

You should activate them before playing the game. IE refresh the game tab and apply them as soon as the game loads. All but two seem to be working. 
Ie refresh the tab where the game is and apply the hack while on the main menu before actually playing

Can we get an admin here to separate the two identically named games, please?

Thanks I'm sure there's a second variable that when the program reads the two variables together it's first variable times 10^second variable give or take one

that said I've found that if you find the first variable and set it to 11+ then spend a small amount it'll reset it's format with a 10x multiplier from it so I haven't actually found the second variable nor is it really needed
