Confirmed the trainer works with all options on Epic.

Has anyone figured out how to use this trainer on Windows 11? This trainer seems to be completely incompatible with life as of right now. I can't get the (STEAM) game to start for more than 30 seconds with the trainer without crashing (I let the game load then activate on main menu like the README says, takes about 10-30 seconds for the game to crash after that.) I tried everything I know how to do from the troubleshooting guide, the only two things out of place is that I can't confirm that the sound card is functioning because I'm using a desktop that doesn't have a speaker, so it plays sound through my bluetooth but I have no idea if it even has an onboard sound card, and I did additionally attempt to run the game in Compatibility mode to try to see if Windows 11 was making the game unstable, but that failed. I am planning to get Lifetime Plus for Christmas if I can, but if someone can figure this out and patch it before then, that'd be nice.

The current trainer doesn't work on windows 10, it just keeps extracting some .tmp file and then asks what to open it with, and i don't know what to do? how can i just get it to run?

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.

or

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.

Adding that exception fixed it immediately thanks!

Now i just need to find a way to stop the game crashing my computer constantly, which is due to my poor/non-existent cooling system im certain of, i hate being poor.
