Alien Swarm Message Board  

It's a shame there are people out there with nothing better to do. I'm just using the trainer in my own private room, so I can get a feel for the game and see the different levels and how they run. But I suppose that's with any game you have idiots out there that are just trying to ruin the gameplay for everyone else.

I am not able to get this trainer to work at all. When you say 'private room' do you mean the Offline Practice option or just going to play online with friends only and not inviting any?

Also what parts of the trainer are working for you? I have tried them all with no success.

Thanks

The game's already been patched several times since the last release of the trainer. Non of the trainers work if your system is completely up to date. I was starting a game, making it friends only, and using the console command to ignore the need to have at least 2 people in the game before playing.

i will update the trainer in the morning. if it patches 10 mins after then it might be several days again before we revisit it. this game might be too 'hackable' and stupidly protected for us to keep updating it if they developers have to patch it every 8 hours to prevent hackers from ruining the experience. as always, our intent is for single player or coop people using our trainer, not multiplayer.

check with us tommorrow morning and we will update it again.

Thanks for your effort Caliber.

well i ran steam last night and the game patched. i ran steam again this morning around 10:30 am and the game patched again. likely it has patched again since then. it's obvious that this game has no 'protections' built into it so this is the developers way of protecting the game.

at any rate, until these patches begin to wane, i think it's stupid for us to update the trainer only to have it broken a few hours later-

Is that even a good use of company resources? Constantly patching a game every couple of hours and on a free game to boot? Perhaps they're using this opportunity to test a new method to discourage those who tamper with game code.

trainer was updated today at 4PM EST USA. no idea how long it will last. newest trainer has been posted.

best,
