The visual range is the area around any given unit or structure that is revealed (ie. lifted from the Fog of War).
When I try to run the game with the trainer this area is reduced to nearly zero, so units that are moving will detect enemy units only when they are nearly on top of them, while running the game without the trainer makes this area almost 10 times larger, so that units will see enemy units some distance away and not when they are on top of eachother. (Even so, enemy units could still fire on my units with the trainer on, and I didn't even see the enemy units - they were still in the FoW.)
Got this error when just trying to start the game on my machine (C&C3 1.09 installed + KW 1.00, RLD no-cd crack (even if I have the real deal, I hate optical media. - and just because someone asked; it helps having friends in the gaming development and distribution business, when it comes to getting games early ^^)) and running the first mission of the campaign. This effect was there before activating the options I tried (being only money and energy - didn't get further, as zero visibility kinda ruins the game ^^) and stayed when activating them too.
System specs doesn't seem very relevant, as the error does not occur when running the game without the trainer. Will see if I can reproduce the error today and get a screenshot up somewhere. I will also try re-downloading the trainer again. (Did that one time, so have tried two different versions (being the first and one of the updated one, even though I most likely haven't tried the latest yet.))

UPDATE: Thanks a billion, Pwiz and Cal for updating! Will try it out ASAP =)
UPDATE2: Tested newest version, and it seems to be working as it should now (normal FoW, that is), hats off for a job well done, and darn fast too. Thanks, and happy easter to you CH guys!
