Spider-Man 3 Message Board  

Hi, apologies if this is too "newbie" a query. I just signed up to ask a quick question to which I couldn't find an answer (neither on the boards nor in the Help file for the trainers).

My Spidey-3 retail game isn't accepting the trainer despite my following the instructions (at least I *think* I followed them). I've got WinXP (SP2) and I'm just wondering if anyone has any more specific ideas than the general guidelines already posted on this site. For what it's worth, I can't get ANY trainer I've found to work with this game; it's not just the one posted here. I'm not sure how to tell whether or not my system automatically patched my game upon install, but I don't *think* it did. It seems I'm running version 1.0.0.1 (with a timestamp of April 20, 2007), in case that's worth anything.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Archer

Details please.. i might be able to help you

Hi, Dan. Thanks for the reply. Any specific details you'd like? I've loaded the trainer in the game's directory, and I've tried running both before and after the game is running. I have encountered software issues in the past due to having a dual-core system, but the game is fairly stable otherwise.

I also have the Ultimate Spider-Man game by Activision and that one works with a trainer just fine. I doubt the engines are even close to being the same, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks again,
A

Hi archer,

Have you tried using the no-cd fix with your game to see if it makes a difference? Sometimes the copy protection can interfere with the trainer's memory injections.

Chris,

Thank you--it worked. I appreciate your help!

The trainer works by me without the no cd/dvd fix. Guess I got a lucky copy.
