My first post! Yay!

Kinda sad that it has to be on such a noobish question. Can anyone tell me the difference between a steam and a GOG/other distributor version of the same game? I grabbed a trainer for an old-ish game that I grabbed off GOG(Infected Planet) a while ago. I have since lost access to the GOG account so I can't get updates. Anyway, the trainer for the 1.0.2.2 version is Steam/Retail, and it seems to crash my game every time I try to launch a level. Could this be from the different distributor? And would this be an issue for ALL games?

Strange computer problems: corrupt files, ancient viruses feasting on your computer and files that don't exist anymore yet still exist or the complete opposite of that. That is my computer life in a nutshell and I love every second of it.

Depends some trainers will work on both and some dont.

GOG does not Sec like Steam. So that is one difference that I can think of.

E.g. DRM
