If those games are IN numerical order to begin with then we can, but games that have no distinct number, just some secondary name then it's pretty much impossible unless we just do a bunch of research on which game came in what order of the series, etc.

Ah, I see.

No, the ones I was referencing were done with Roman numerals, so the order would be not the way we count.

Thanks though!

my #1 feature request tbh is to get it to work on Linux. The way things are going with windows, they're just in the beginning of trying to put forth that walled garden approach apple uses. So major game publishers/distributors are starting to look at Linux seriously. The Steam Deck is going to be a major factor in that, it looks like potentially millions were preordered very shortly after it was announced, within 90 minutes 110,000 units had been preordered.

Linus Tech Tips showed it off and it looks like it's performing well, so i'd *love* to see cheat happens be the first trainer community to support linux gaming.

@kharaa: I have not seen ANY recent Ubisoft game running natively on Linux. Battlefield 2042? No. GTA 5? No. RDR2? No. Age of Empires IV? No. What major publishers are you talking about? Valve? They don't look at Linux seriously they just have chosen it because its free and they don't have to pay fees to Microsoft in order to deliver their hardware with it. But EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, Microsoft, no one releases games running natively on Linux. Even Witcher 3 has no linux version. If they run on Linux then they do running on emulators like Valve Proton. The Linux market share on Steam is as of now around 1-2%. The effort to write a Linux trainer is incredibly because Linux doesn't offer APIs for most of what a trainer needs. There is no cheat debugger for Linux. On top of that there are thousands of different Linux distros with thousand of different aspects to think about.

The reality is that Linux is a place for cheap hardware, IOT, and some geeks. But for gaming and business Linux is not an alternative and it will probably never be. And most publishers think the same. Its only mostly unity engine games which get a native linux version because its unity engine itself which does most of the work, developers dont have to spend much time and money on making a linux version for it. But the majority of AAA titles don't use unity engine. Most publishers have their own engine and they target Windows only.

Also, we were already the first site to release LINUX TRAINERS several years ago. No one cared so we stopped. We definitely have the capability to do it, but the community has to be behind it and people actually need to sign up to get them or it's not worth the double expense that it takes to have each one made.

It is the best idea ever that you CH guys decided to make an AIO trainer, this is what I just have waited for so long time, there is nothing more frustrating than downloading each trainer separately all the time, especially when you have a lot of games. Keep up the good work, I cant wait to try it. 🙂

And I completely agree with CH staff about online "only" as seen about discussing it in the first few posts. It is so funny, that people suddenly complain and worry about no Offline option. But what about Steam, Origin, Uplay that are required to play most games? Sure they can run offline, but nowadays the features are very limited if you run in offline mode. Steam works as junk without an online connection nowadays. In theory, you need to be online all the time to have them properly work with full features. Many games require today a "Stable online" connection to play it, also single player. There were no complaints about games here from what I heard of.

And suddenly when CH announces an online-only trainer, it is suddenly a problem? Very strange....

Playing offline is always possible in most games, if you do not only play MMO, Online shooters and coop games.
And there are a lot of games that just do not need any internet to play then. Especially if you use the www.gog.com platform e.g. which strips protections and makes game playable with modern hardware, even "good old" ones 😋

Cheats should always be working offline as well. You do not always have a way to be online (sitting in a train with bad connection or no Wifi, at least in the EU this happens very often).

But I agree that most of the time you'll be gaming at home or somewhere where you are able to get online.

Imho there should be a way to get the offline keys, like you provide them at the kickstarter platform atm, later on as well. Some might miss them and they should not be something "special", and at best they should be free for lifetime (and plus) members. This would be fair in my opinion and would be the similar way it works now (afaik).

Edit:
Well I forgot that the new AIO trainer's offline key will most likely work for ALL trainers then? Currently you are unlocking single trainers for offline usage. So I admit that there might be a way to abuse it in the future, which would unlock all trainers then at once. So I'm with you guys that there needs to be some kind of protection against that which most likely will be the online mode. And the ones being concerned can still buy the offline keys at kickstarter, and maybe in the future again.

I hope the existing trainers will be working without the AIO trainer in the future, also offline?
