Make sure

C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Cheathappens\Work

is in the exclusion list for anti-virus and the launcher EXE. (or the entire game folder where you put it)

I only have the Steam/Uplay version so I can't really check it.

same here 🙁 disappears right after saying activated.

Well, Caliber tried it, and it worked in multiple platforms, so i guess we need to find out the common trait that borks it for us.

Caliber suggested, that maybe different countries gets sightly different exe files. Maybe it can be regional, so all i can say now, that i live in EU/Hungary, my exe is 537 008 byte, and uPlay just changed to Ubisoft Connect when i uploaded the game 3 days ago.

I had the same problem with the trainer crashing as soon as I activate it. On a whim, I decided to try the second trainer, the Steam+Uplay one, and it works. I haven't tried every option, but most of them worked for me today when I tested it. Not sure if it will work for everyone, but it's worth a try if you're having this issue.

Note: I have the game from Epic Games, not Steam.

How dude? I tried Uplay plus same... crash..

I'm not talking about Uplay Plus. I'm talking about the second trainer listed:

2. Watch Dogs 2 Trainer 1.017.189.2.1088394 V2 (STEAM+UPLAY 04.17.2018)

That one worked for me with most options. I did not test the Reset Wanted Level or Easy Escape/Stealth, though I see no reason they won't work when everything else did.

Having same issue on epic version eac saved to G:\Uplay\WATCH_DOGS2

Soon as you F1 trainer just disappears with no event logs (AV disabled, both trainers run as admin)

Delete trainer and all files in

C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Cheathappens\Work
C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Roaming\Cheat Happens\0x90
C:\ProgramData\CheatHappens

Reboot PC to clear excess memory, get a fresh copy of latest trainer, extract it and make sure trainer/launcher/editor is in a folder excluded from virus scans. Empty quarantine folder if needed or set anything trainer related (paths and EXE's) to ALLOW. Disable any Live/Active/Real-Time tools which may trigger false positives in security software which may terminate the game/trainer when it's activated or options used. Run trainer as admin, read the instructions and try again. At times, a new game may be needed to resolve failed options if the data in your save file was altered. Use on a new game and test the option. If it now works, quit to main menu and load your save and try it again.


C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Cheathappens

may need to be added to exclusions as well. Run trainer as admin, read the instructions and try again.
