Good evening, developers.
I have been trying to use the Agarest Generations of War Zero stand-alone trainer with only partial success. The trainer launches and activates properly and I DO hear Activated/Deactivated when I toggle the three Options. However, none of the Options apply in the game. I still have normal HP levels, and the SP/AP do not set themselves to 999 like they do in the first game. (First game trainer is in Aurora though) Meanwhile, the Editor functions work just fine. This leads me to believe that the trainer is properly interacting with the game process. Though I don't know if the Options and the Editor functions are mutually exclusive with how they work.
I am using version 05.08.2014, have an exception set to my Trainers folder. I have tried launching the trainer before and after the game, tried running as admin both via right-clicking as well as setting it on the compatibility tab. I have toggled Potentially Unwanted App Blocking as well as disabling Reputation-based Protection. I even went so far as to outright disable Defender for a single test, not that I'd ever want to run that way even if it did work. If this is still an Windows Defender issue, I'm not sure what's blocking half of the trainer from working.
Please disable/uninstall all antivirus, firewall and other security software including browser addons and extensions. Right click "Run as Administrator" on trainer and game. Please note that some security products may still block access to trainer injection even when disabled and must be completely uninstalled. If this is the case, please contact the product vendor for instruction on the proper way to prevent the trainers from being blocked by their software or find a better alternative.

Extract trainer and make sure trainer/launcher/editor is in a folder excluded from virus scans. Empty quarantine folder if needed or set anything trainer related (paths and EXE's) to ALLOW. Disable any Live/Active/Real-Time tools which may trigger false positives in security software that may terminate the game/trainer when it's activated or options used.

may need to be added to exclusions as well. Click and select "Run as Administrator", read the instructions and try again.
