The most recent trainer makes to the CheatHappens splash screen and then...nothing.
The previous trainer version runs just fine with the same exact computer settings, but is not compatible with my AC4 game.

I've been using CH Trainers for many years, and this one has me stumped! I've tried all recommended troubleshooting and even ran it offline with an offline key - the same error with the newest version, older version works. I've deleted/re-downloaded it numerous times.

...any ideas what would cause one trainer version to work and another to stall on opening?

Here is the whole check list, sounds like it's the .NET cores or your antivirus though.

Delete trainer and all files in

C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Cheathappens\Work
C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Roaming\Cheat Happens\0x90
C:\ProgramData\CheatHappens

Reboot PC to clear excess memory, get a fresh copy of latest trainer, extract it 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 which may terminate the game/trainer when it's activated or options used. Run trainer as admin, read the instructions and try again. At times, a new game may be needed to resolve failed options if the data in your save file was altered. Use on a new game and test the option. If it now works, quit to main menu and load your save and try it again.


C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Cheathappens

may need to be added to exclusions as well. Run trainer as admin, read the instructions and try again.
