Alan Wake Message Board  

Thanks. I submitted the new option request. This is the Epic Games variant of Alan Wake v1.05.16.7103 (latest as of 8/6/2019).

+1 (I don't see the option to vote on)

They require you to submit the request in options request then await approval from the trainer maker.

When i try to launch the trainer nothing happens and does not appear.

Check your taskbar / taskmanager and see if it runs there.

Also make sure you disabled your AV so that nothing can block the trainer.

I...find myself slightly baffled.

Is it really true that to request a new option for the trainer costs just 1000RC but just to add a vote to an existing request for the trainer to be altered costs 100000RC? I pay (and have paid for quite a while now) for a Lifetime Plus membership, and I smile patiently at that darn bonus wheel that only ever gives 5000RC as a reward, but I find it a little exasperating that 100000RC is required just to get a trainer that works with a re-release of the same game.

Do not get me wrong, I've seen the number of games, the variants, the updates, the constant work that you guys deal with, and I certainly wouldn't be a Lifetime Plus subscriber if I didn't appreciate how much you have to do, but the number just to add a vote to an already requested update so a trainer works with the latest update does seem perhaps a little excessive.

Again, I reiterate my respect for the work and rework that CH has to do, I just ask that at the rate I gain RC it would take me over 8 years - almost 9 - to get back the RC, which in computer/gaming terms is an eternity....is this intended or am I missing something?

First of all thank you for your ongoing support.
Keep in mind that not only 1000 RC is required, a plus membership is also required so it kind of balances with the 100k.
In any case I would agree that instead of few large amount votes it should be a bar that requires like 400k to be filled, similar to requesting new trainer.
The whole point is to not make an option or a trainer that only 2-3 people will use.. but usually in these kind of cases only few people will show interest so that's why Pwiz came up with a system to help these few people.

Thank you for your polite reply.

I have to be honest and admit I don't quite follow the logic. As a plus membership holder I gain 750 points per month, and the prize wheel lands on 5000RC almost every time since the first couple of spins I gave it. I previously treated it as a shrug-the-shoulders kind of win every time since hey! I got something!

But I do fail to see how 5750RC/month matches just the ability to vote. I perhaps would understand a system that requires a relatively large amount to start the voting on a trainer and then a relatively large number of people (so as to avoid working on a trainer for 2 or 3 people) to have voted a pre-set minimal amount each just to reach the goal required.

Sure, it may take a little trial and error, but if someone introduces a game for voting on then they may want it badly enough to pay the larger number of RC. The voters together could vote what they like - with a minimum and maximum amount - to ensure that enough people are interested in the trainer.

Just my two pence. Obviously it is your system and you run it as you see fit, and I do respect that. I guess I was just taken by surprise by the numbers involved.
