Darkest Dungeon Message Board  

Start by making sure the trainer and the folder C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Cheathappens are added to your anti-virus exclusion list. Check the A-V quarantine folder to see if anything trainer related has been detected in there and delete them, eg.

CH_Temp.tmp
~Mnn133.tmp
~CheathappensTrainer.tmp

Run the trainer as admin, if it closes again, let us know which A-V software your using and check task manager again under apps and see if it is running.

Just DL'd it and it opened fine for me.

When I try to run the current version of the trainer (BUILD 22830) I keep getting a 'How do you want to run this file' pop up, for a .tmp file. I cannot bypass it, and it doesn't do anything if I pick notepad. The trainer itself also fails to run after this.

Please create scan exclusions for the trainer exe file and for the Work folder. - The Work folder is located here -> C:\Users\YourWindowsUserName\Cheathappens\

After you did this, clear your security software's scan history/logs and quarantine, clear the Windows Temp folder, reboot your PC and launch the trainer again with admin rights.

Addition: Should you have selected a program to open the .tmp file and this dialogue now pops up every time you want to run the trainer, you need to reset the Windows Default Apps. For Windows 10: Press Win key + i -> Apps -> Default Apps -> scroll a bit down in the rights column and select the 'Reset' button at 'Reset to the Microsoft recommended defaults'.

Well this is embarrassing. After multiple attempts to get it working, first attempt after reporting it the trainer ran with no issue.

I apologize for pulling you away from whatever you were doing.

Nothing to be embarrassed about as very likely your security software send the created tmp file to the sec software company for further inspection and it came back as a false positive hence why the second time it worked as intended. Enjoy the game!

As of the latest dlc launched yesterday it would seem that the battle options still work, but none of the estates options do. Though I'd imagine there will be several patches coming per the usual for content updates with this game.
