DOWNLOAD TRAINER

scroll down below message board posts to see the download.

This is our first LINUX based game trainer and is being used as a proof of concept tech demo to show that trainers for Linux are possible and we have the capability of producing them. We limited this trainer to 1 option for this reason. We want to gauge the interest from the Linux community if we should begin releasing more Linux based trainers or if there is just not enough people interested to pursue it further. Please post here your thoughts and/or issues.

I am very impressed! I hope this will be received well by those on the Linux OS. And PWizard's verbal introduction was first rate - great job all around!

Very nice to see that Linux trainers are possible.
But as you mentioned, the amount of people that would appreciate such things I imagine are fairly limited.

There are people that use Linux based systems in the Steam community but not enough to justify putting the resources into trainers, imo that is. Linux is a pretty small minority when it comes to OS's on Steam.

So I guess it would come down to popular Linux compatible games and what you guys can do with them.

With Linux it's a never ending story. People said they would switch to Linux instantly when it would support gaming. Now it does and people don't switch. However thanks to big companies the strict borders are going to vanish. Vulcan is a powerful DirectX replacement and Microsoft embedded a Linux kernel into Windows 10 and with more and more programming languages become cross platform compatible we gave it a try. Now with all the games exist thanks to Steam and we having a Cosmos (Linux) version and a Linux trainer engine, it is up to the Linux users out there to let us know if we should spend more resources on it or not.

Like PWizard said, proof of concept.

Awesome!
I have waited a long time for such an opportunity, I would finally be able to play games on Linux in a really crazy way 😉
Thanks for the POC 😁 Hopefully the beginning of a great future for linux players

You say "now it does" in terms of gaming on Linux. No

There are more and more options and support for gaming on Linux but it's not ready. It's improved so much in the last few years alone. Sadly not enough. I am someone who buys pretty much all new AAA games on release day. About 90% of those don't come to Linux or take a year or more to do so.

Until that happens, Linux is not ready. I love the support in trainers though.

Sidenote, I haven't checked into the Linux Gaming scene for about 6 months, so sorry if something massive has happened to change how games work on Linux. Proton was the last big thing but doesn't really solve my issue, but it was a huge step forward.

It is not. It's very sad no ...

I was thrilled to see Valve actually made their client for Linux, but after a while the steam got away because it doesn't really matter. It's not about gamers or someone who creates trainers or clients like steam, it's about creating games natively and in some way exclusively for the GNU/Linux environment. I have tested a plethora of distributions on my gaming PC since last year, and even when some fun action games were installed, they didn't work as expected. I always started my tests with the installation of Borderlands 2 and to this day I cannot find any distribution and configuration that would allow me to play the way I can on Win10 without ANY interference in the configuration. And the fact that some aspyr company had to tinker with the game's code to make it even run on GNU/Linux systems only makes matters worse (I remember that aspyr was a company that made Mac crap and it was the same horrible experience as in case of Borderlands 2 on GNU / Linux).

So it's ql that someone has proven that the Win trainer can be rewrapped to other systems, but there is no point in using it when after rebooting PC to Win same game will daze and work natively with exact same trainer
