Here's my experience with it so far. v1.1.0 b5346.324823
I noticed if I hit F1 at the main screen and start a new game, as soon as it finishes playing the intro videos it crashes, every time. So I waited until it loads the actual campaign map, hit F1, (there's a pretty good delay before it says trainer activated) then all works as expected.
The game really is hyper-sensitive to the trainer having any options active using end-turn or going in to battle. It's a small thing to just ensure ALL the options are off (hit the numpad keys you know you've used just to be absolutely sure they are deactivated) and that the "All Options np /" toggles to "deactivated" as well.
Sometimes a little patience pays big dividends. That F1 delay froze up for a few seconds and I thought the came was CTD, but nope, just scanning the memory or some such thing.
You guys rock. Getting near 2yrs unlimited membership and I've only ran across a couple of trainers that just would not work. Of course it's not you guys, it's the game devs thinking they somehow have to prevent a single player from having any and all options open to them. Why? I think it's childish. If I want to buy a game and immediately have uber-gear, why not? My money, my game, my way. It's pathetic the extremes devs are going to just to sandbox us. I certainly don't have time to reverse-engineer any of this stuff.
So CH, you go girl! Smack em, wack em and crack em.

I tried what you just recommended because I had the same problems, but I still crash to desktop... I even went to offline mode on steam but I couldn't get it to work. I DON'T have an unlimited account... I just bought the one trainer... Which I believe will screw me over on the long run when steam rolls out the patches and updates... is there a way to fix that? I pretty much read the first and last 10 pages of this post. Also, I only have Shogun 2 Total War and not the FoTS add-on. And, I downloaded my game from Steam...
Thanks for the update guys (5355) but I seem to have run into a problem. I keep CTD when I go into battles. Yes I have all the trainer options off at the end of each turn. It works great until I actually get into the battle screen, it starts up and then right before the transition of showing the red vs blue map area the sound goes bye bye and it freezes. Anyone else having this problem??

Hit the / turn off trainer button. That's what you need to turn off.
I figured out the problem, somehow one of my files got messed up and after I checked game integrity through steam it fixed the problem. Must have been a mod. I always shut the trainer down, thanks for the reply though.

The game has MILLIONS of anti-cheat routines built into it that they added about a YEAR after the game was released. Who knows why, but we have done our best to defeat them and even added an OFF key to help as well. You can blame this on CA for adding all the useless anti-cheat stuff to the SINGLE PLAYER GAME. If the trainer is useless then we'll be happy to retire it.
FYI, we are personally able to play MANY turns with the trainer activated and using the ALL OFF key without any crashes at all.

It makes me wonder if one of the developers somehow found this site and whenever the trainer is updated they throw out a new patch.
