Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition Message Board  

Hmm that's strange. I didnot forget to run as admin, I also have antivirus scan exclusion for ~/Cheathappens folder. As soon as I press F1 or activate manually the game stutters for a second and closes itself.

Here's the trainer's log:

Information: 0 : Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition, Original, STEAM
Information: 0 : Trainer version: 1.101
Warning: 0 : Checking for updates failed...
Information: 0 : Attaching to process: oriDE
Information: 0 : Successfully attached
Error: 0 : Mono Error: WaitNamedPipe has failed (File not found)
Error: 0 : Mono Error: WaitNamedPipe has failed (2)
Error: 0 : MONO: Failed connecting pipe...


After a cursory search on that error message, I did the following:

- Cleared all CH trainer data: CH work, appdata/local, appdata/roaming, programdata, etc.. All temp files removed.
- Installed vcredist 2015-2022, both x86 and x64 from Link. Rebooted twice.
- Checked and added trainer folder and CH work folder to Windows Defender Exclusion list. Disabled realtime protection.
- Re-downloaded the latest trainer.

Game still crashes when pressing F1 at main menu.

I'm on Windows 11 23H2 x64, with Windows Defender as antivirus.

Tried both ways to no avail. Right now I'm running the game in non-admin compatibility mode (Windows 7) with HiDPI override to improve performance.

I'm not sure what's happening here. I'm out of ideas.

I`m assuming your version of Windows is up to date and the trainer with the game where working properly previously, you might want to repair the OS: Link.
The second answer sound the best in your case:

"First you should try safe mode.

Perform system restore
This process will take your computer settings back to an earlier point in time where computer is working fine. If there's any changes made on your computer that removes the service, system restore should be able to fix the issue for you. To perform system restore please follow the steps below:

Open the run box by pressing the Windows key + R and type rstrui.exe
Once system restore windows open, normally it will suggest a restore point (sometimes it doesn't) if it does, select the 2nd option and hit next
Select your desired restore point date and time and hit next and finish."

But then it might only be an inconsistency between your installed apps.

Trying to get the Xbox Game Pass version of this trainer, and instead it downloads the Steam version.
Tried it 3 times already, and each time I was very careful not to select the Steam version.
Can you please fix the links?
We do pay money for those things, they're not exactly free... getting stuck on trivial but critical bumps like this one should not be happening.
