Here's what has worked for me.
1 Have STEAM create a shortcut.
2 Launch the Trainer
3 Launch Shadow of the Tomb Raider using the STEAM Shortcut or from inside the Steam client.
(do not launch the SOTTR.exe directly, the trainer doesn't seem to work)
4 then F1 at SOTTR main menu
it probably has something to do with Denovo and the way SOTTR.exe launches.
Yep, that did it. Deleted the shortcut on the desk. Created new one from steam. Ran as per directions. No problems this time. Thanks!
@jaks it may be the problem with crafting arrows etc with easy craft. even if you had the resources available it wouldnt let you craft anything.
I'm playing right now and I just crafted a half dozen fire arrows.
It's been working right along for me tho there were new trainers posted March 30 and again today, April 5 so you might want to try the newest one.
