Trainer has been working great. Some random friend on my FL on steam joined a match I was in and now I can't launch the game at all. I've done the steps again but now anytime I launch the game it says "GameGaurd: Intialize error, Error code 153". Is there any way around this or do I have to reinstall the game from scratch?

Check and see if the game patched as if it did then you need to re-replace the .exe and maybe rename the GameGuard files again, etc.

PS- We have not seen a reason to believe that the trainer is no longer working. The error you are reporting is typically associated with not activating the trainer at the precise moment (or the other steps need to be re-done).

Yeah I checked that, all seems okay. But even though I looked okay I renamed and put a new .exe file in. I'd rather perfer not to reinstall the game from scratch but it might be my best course of action.

Yeh, it could simply be a case of a corrupted game or GameGuard file.

I'm not trying to get the trainer to work again. Basically I was using the trainer, all was going fine. I friend joined me. I instantly quick the game, and tried to load the game up without the trainer so I could play with said friend legitly. And now I can't load the game at all. I'm assuming him joining me while I was playing messed up soemthing. I went through all the steps I did the first time to get the trainer to work, but no matter what I do the game (without using the trainer) will not load. without getting the error I mentioned before.

Have you tried verifying game cache in Steam?

Incase anybody else gets this issue. simply verifying the system files on steam and then redoing the steps mentioned in the trainer seems to have fixed the issue.
