@HaikenEdge: I don't fully understand what you meant. Do you mean it crashes half of the time when you activate the trainer?
just to add a little detail to what users like myself are seeing:
the first three times I try to open the trainer it takes minutes and then the trainer process exits silently. the third time the trainer takes minutes to open, way longer than any other trainer, and then finally comes up.
at the in-game menu if I hit f1 it says please wait...then the game crashes. I try again, open up the game, click activate trainer in the trainer itself, the game crashes. I look through the options in the trainer, that useless Ingame Overlay has become checked again even though I shut it off already, I uncheck it. then I hit the activate trainer button and it says "trainer activated".
@jacobquick: That sounds like the overlay is the problem. Changing an overlay setting is saved when you properly close the trainer but usually it should take effect when you re-activate the trainer which doesn't seem to be the case. I suggest to deactivate the overlay, close the trainer and start it again make sure its still deactivated before activating the trainer.
The start delay is not a fault of the trainer but likely your AV (Windows defender?) which blocks the trainer until its fully scanned. There is no difference comparing to other trainers here on the site. For me it starts "fast". Tested on Windows 11 on an SSD with only Windows Defenders as AV but turned off submitting files to Windows defender cloud.
You're right, all the trainers I've downloaded in the last couple months are also taking forever to open now. Setting defender exclusions for them isn't helping, either.
@StarcraftJunkie: Are you using any mods?
No mods whatsoever.
