Company of Heroes Message Board  

So far there has been problems (CTD) experienced by many people including myself when using the trainers for Company of Heroes. Anyway what I would like to know is that if anyone is experiencing any major problems when they are using the options inifite resources(manpower, ammunitions, fuel), no cap, instant build and command points. The major cause for my ctds is when i'm trying to use the repair cheat that gives your units full hp. I haven't tried the other ones yet but I would like to know if its causing any problems before I play with them. It would be better if I can just play with those basic 6 without any problems. I don't care much for anything else as long as those 6 cheats dont cause problems.
Another thing I would like to know is why are there so many problems with trying to train this game? I'm not complaining or anything. I believe that it's great that you people are doing this and I'm thankful. I would just like to know why a lot of people are having problems with this game and not another game such as Dawn of War. They both have the same type of cheats and the trainers themselves look the same and even sound the same when you activate it. The game is also made by the same developer. Why is it that company of heroes is so problematic?

Sorry to bump a post , but i think this would save allot of questions people have.


Ok first thing they have the same options, Not the cheats, they are very much different, the code locations and address's used are not the same.
As far as the trainer looking the same, well thats just because the same template/source code being used to make the other trainers. Saves time, I dont think i know anyone who totally starts from scratch every single time to code a complete new trainer.
Just because the game is created by the same developer, doesn't mean the code used/altered in memory is the same. It will never be the same.
The best example is.... try a trainer for a game. Then upgrade he game with a patch. Boom the trainer will not work afterwards. Reason is the code of the game has shifted a bit and the address's that was used have too. IE new trainer is needed.
Another example is:
www.mess.be
They have to make a new hack for every single version of msn.
The patches look the same.... But behind the scenes they are diffrent in what they alter in the exe.

I hope this shads some light on why it takes time to code a trainer for games. Some it takes more work because of code shifting, such as COH.
