Just throwing this out there. I've seen some of us are in the same boat with the issue of the trainer not finding the game then closing. I bought the game on Uplay (only one in world it seems). Everything is closed, exited, ended, etc. Open the trainer, find the game directory with F2, do all the crazy steps some people say might work, press F1 and uplay starts to open the game. after like 5-10 seconds, the trainer says "TRAINER CANNOT FIND GAME" then it closes and leaves me on the far cry 5 game screen in my uplay launcher. Tried the "FAQ" it didnt work or address the problem I any a few others have. I'm cool with playing without a trainer but I dont want this problem blown off as "they're just not doing it right". I'm not sure what the issue is but i've tried plenty of times to get it to run so i'm going to stop trying and wait for the trainer updates. maybe some day i'll be able to use it.
i had that too, but i thought it was because I just didn't "run the game" quickly enough.
I was on top of the "allow game to run" part after that, started it as soon as it popped up and it worked... hope this helps.
I got it to work yesterday. I believe I was the first one to bring the issue of multiple screens to the table.
Well, today it doesn't work. Seems my getting it to work was a random thing.
Tried the same things today, even a few new suggestion that came in since last night, but nothing works. - Trainer cannot find game, and the .dll error. Today the integrity check say everything is fine.
I see the EAC service is there, but stopped. Which I am guessing is intentional.
Edit: Although ..
Instead of trying new methods all the time, I just tried the same one a few times, and it eventually worked.
I killed uplay and steam from taskbar (right-click and quit), and ran the trainer from the trainer manager (nothing run as administrator), and clicked f1.
First "trainer could not find game", but after a couple of retries, it worked.
I have way expected it to say "Fine! I found it - let's play!"

Very important to also turn off Windows Defender, for some reason i could not get it to find game with it running even with everything added to exclusion list. Also for mulitmonitors make sure that Steam, Uplay, trainer, and game all start and are up and running in same monitor. After game starts you can move the trainer to other monitor. Finally got my running yesterday after figuring this out. Cannot wait for V3.
