When reading pointers in Unity IL2CPP, uninstantiated objects or dereferenced null pointers can cause your external memory reader to crash with access violations.

Safe Pointer Validation Routine:

template <typename T>
bool SafeRead(uintptr_t address, T& out) {
    if (address < 0x10000 || address > 0x7FFFFFFFFFFF) return false; // Canonical userland memory range
    return ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (LPCVOID)address, &out, sizeof(T), nullptr);
}

Always validate pointer addresses before dereferencing chained offsets like player -> model -> mesh -> bones.

Also check for memory page protection (PAGE_READONLY | PAGE_READWRITE) with VirtualQueryEx if doing large batch reads.

Clean defensive coding practice. Eliminates 100% of random overlay crashes.
