Can't activate cheats.

Same issue here. I can see that Plitch now has an entry for v4.0.2 (c7fe) and acknowledges the game is running, however, the "Activate First" button does not function for me.

The cheats within the "Construction" area do seem to activate, as these do not seem to be reliant on the prepare option, but prepare and anything relying on it does not seem to work.

I've tried restarting game, restarting Plitch, etc. but neither seems to help and the "Prepare" option will not enable. The arrow can be clicked, but it will not light up as enabled (either by clicking or when using keyboard shortcut).

Same with me i even ran the trainer as admin

Also tried firing up Plitch and game with admin turned on; no joy. For whatever reason the "Prepare" option will not activate.

Steam, Win11,

same

Hey guys,

thank you for reporting the issue. The new version is already available in Plitch. Please restart Plitch once and make sure you're using the latest version: [Phoenix v4.0.2 (c7fe)]

Are you playing via Steam, GOG or Msstore? I've tested the cheats in the Steam version real quick but they seemed to work fine: https://i.gyazo.com/bd8fbed6212be172de2c239e6b6cacbf.mp4

Hey Julia,

I can confirm that as of this morning it now seems to be working. Information below is FYI/based on yesterday's issues that I experienced. Not sure if there were any other changes made between my last post and this morning when I've re-tried and found it working today.

For the record:

• Steam version (Phoenix v4.0.2 c7fe)
• No mods enabled (unmodded)
• Windows 11
• Plitch run as admin
• Plitch Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is turned off (please let me know if this is the correct/incorrect setting for Stellaris - I'm aware it should be off for most games and nothing on the Stellaris page seems to indicate this should be on).
• Tried restarting Plitch
• Tried restarting Stellaris & Steam
• Tried launching Stellaris via Plitch
• Tried launching Stellaris via Steam
• Tried 2 different new games in Stellaris

Behaviour I witnessed yesterday was strange; "Prepare" under activate first would not enable.

The option was available (not greyed out) and next to the game version number "X Quit Game" was displayed, suggesting Plitch was correctly detecting Stellaris was running. However, clicking on "Prepare" not activate the option - it would just remain inactive - and therefore the options relying on it remained greyed out. At the same time, options not reliant on "Prepare" would activate - again suggesting the game was being picked up.

With the trainer now seeming to work again this morning I can't re-test anything more specific unfortunately - I've made no changes my end between it not working yesterday and starting to work this morning.

Hopefully some of the others will comment back with their information and whether it's started working for them as well, or if they're still stuck.
