Can saves be provided?

I tested every option by itself and I did have a couple crashes but none could be duplicated. I then tried with all options enabled and had no issues. I'm not discounting the crashes but I haven't been able to duplicate them personally.

Here is a savegame story, maxmilian, easy, doughnut isle. Just after unlocking all basic minion types and building the inner sanctum. It is ready for the henchman mission and is self sufficient for power. Note that I think some agents attack right after this save though but hopefully this is useful

I had 3 crashes WITHOUT any trainer/cheats. And I had one crash when I tested the trainer but I wasn't able to reproduce. I also had no sessions without a crash at all. The game seems to use a selfmade engine, its probably just game bugs.

@meow8582: There is no attached file. Make sure to ZIP or RAR it before attaching it.

After enjoying the game for a few hours I Alt-tabbed out to checkout some YouTube videos when I noticed that my system had tanked. Checked Task Manager and CHTTrainer was using near 70% GPU usage. Closed the trainer down and everything went back to normal. To be on the safe side, downloaded the latest GRD driver from Nvidia and rebooted. Started the game, everything good so far, and then the trainer.
Had task Manager up on the other screen and CHTrainer (before F1 activation) was using over 30% GPU. After going back into the game and hitting F1, it jumped up to 64%. This is on the main menu WITHOUT any options activated yet.

Scratched my head for a but. I run a multi-monitor setup and like having some of CH's meatier option trainers up for reference. Went to close the trainer but ended up missing and minimizing it. GPU usage shot down to 0% for the trainer. Strange...

I've used many CH Trainers over the years and this is the first that seems to be hogging significant GPU resources. An issue with this particular release? Let me know if you want any other info. See CHTrainer.jpg for a screenie of Task Manager.
Anyone else with an Nvidia GPU and multi-monitor setup able to confirm?


Running an Intel 5960X & Nvidia 1080TI with driver 465.89.

thx guys 😁

@slatometa: Do you have any programs that can draw overlays? MSI Afterburner, Fraps etc.? Close them when you start the trainer and check again. They might try to inject into the Trainer Manager and draw some stuff, thinking its a game or something.

Only one was MSI Afterburner and I retested after closing that. Same issue. Forgive my ignorance but is the standalone trainer download the same as the Trainer Manager? I don't have that downloaded.

Here is my save, just press super smart from minion option. Iam using Vulkan.
