In case the beta trick won't work. This should probably always work but its a bit more complicated.
1. Press Win+R
2. Enter: steam://open/console
3. In Steam console window enter: download_depot 619820 619822 6034214739424411693
4. Go to Steam downloads page and monitor network activity to see when its done
5. Replace the game files with the downloaded files which can be found in Steam folder: Steam/steamapps/content/depot_619822
6. Make sure to disable game updates or restart Steam in offline mode
States "invalid assets package!" unfortunately.
Still, the effort of trying to find us options is appreciated.
You need these two files for proper roll-back

download_depot 619820 619822 6034214739424411693
download beta first then replace game files with above two download

I'm getting these messages:

Fixed, nevermind. Reinstalled on wrong disk.
Did this, modified game brilliantly with the steam settings, and then went back to base game. Seems all progress was deleted.
No save data exists.
What should I do?
F
start over
raise hell with developers
ask them why you can't have the console, it's stupid

The developers last patches have ALL been to disable or prevent cheating using the console. The last update they ripped the console commands out of the game completely. We have 5 new titles today, 8 trainer updates, and this game in the past has been nearly impossible to make cheats for without the console, so for now the title is on hold until I have time to go back to it and check it out.
Even then, no guarantee that a trainer can be forced.
FYI

I'm really hoping an updated trainer can be made for this game.
As always, thanks for all the hardwork and dedication Cal and team!
There was never a trainer for this game or any of the games in this series. the developers are super over the top with anticheats (changing values closes game, etc.) and they have made almost all their updates about removing the console or "stopping cheating".
So dumb.
Our "trainer" was merely unlocking the console so you could use it. They ripped out the console commands completely.
whatever

Alas! This series has been great (though the earliest were the better/more fun entries, IMO), and I just don't get why any devs would be so adamantly anti-cheat for single player games.
Other than a serious case of The Vision(tm), that is. And any studio that prioritises The Vision over players should get ****ty sales and reviews anyway.
Sure, multiplayer it's not fair for some players to be using cheats and others not, but being this pig-headed about it for single players really is denying themselves a whole lot of sales.
Eh, HWII was by far the worst of the series, and based on what I'm reading about HoH2, (and my limited hours in this version), HoH2 is at least as crap as HW2.
Pity, they had something really fun and different, but if they're determined to drive their own market-segment away, about all the market can do is not buy their stuff.
Thanks to all the CH staff for their hard work.
Hey Cal
I did ask why on their discord and was told the reason why they removed console
"We dont want cheaters in MP"
Apparently people were cheesin it in MP enough that people complained.
Since they have workshop, you honestly could make a mod for it to enable it for SP 😅
That’s the most absurd reason ever, ask them why they implemented anti cheats in the SP part of the game? Why not just keep the anti cheats in the MP part? No micro transactions and no honey in SP part so why anti cheats? They should be focusing and spending time on improving their game rather than anti cheats in the SP part, so stupid, these kind over devs don’t deserve any support.
