Empire: Total War Message Board  

Regarding the Mega Trainer (Patch #11 - v1.5), $999.999 Gold, Unlimited Movement, ....

I just bought all of the DLC from Steam, seller of the original game. I bought the DLC from inside the game. The trainer worked prior to purchasing and auto install of the DLC. Whether I start the trainer or game first, doesn't matter. I hit F1, get the trainer activated voice. I then hit 1 on the number pad, get the activated voice. The money does not increase. I have tried the other options and none of them apear to work either. Shortly after this I the game crashes. The following is from the eventvwr.

Faulting application Empire.exe, version 1.5.0.0, time stamp 0x4b0460c3, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0xffffffff, process id 0x1024, application start time 0x01ca989ed4405878.

Event ID:1000

Level: Error

Empire Total War version is
v1.5.0 build 1327.15706

I am running Vista x64 and OneCare. I have disabled OneCare and that did no good. UAC is also off. I cannot figure out how to remove\disable the DLC to test out the theory of blaming the DLC. No jumping down my throat please, I blame nobody, these things just happen.

Most certainly some addresses changed after installing the DLC. Exception 0xc0000005 is "Access violation" (assuming that ETW throws standard MS Windows exception codes)
I wonder whether this happens also after buying DLCs for other versions?

Anyhow, I'm sure that 1) nobody will flame you to death for reporting a trainer-related crash and 2) the friendly trainer team will have a look on that <3

Sorry, but we don't have plans to purchase or release a trainer for any DLC's on this title.

What DLC did you get? I have all the DLC but the Warpath campaign and it works fine. If it is the Warpath, thanks for the info, I won't be purchasing that.

I did purchase the Warpath Campaign. On vista it too did not work. Just loaded windows 7, giving that a try now.
