Hey jackg4,

thank you for reporting the issue. Did you ensure to launch Plitch and Steam as administrator? The trainer requires admin rights to fully work. To do this, right-click on the desktop icon or the .exe file and select 'Run as administrator'.

Run as administrator worked. Thank you. But "Fast Build + Recruit + Research" looks like it also works for the computer opponent. Is it supposed to work for the human player only?

unfortunately this cheat works exact the same way as the "aegis" ingame cheat and cannot be modified in the way it works without triggering the massive AntiCheat... so it's best to use this only short time when really necessary
