I dont know whats going on but the trainer only works when it wants to. It either crashes my game, regardless of what game im playing (soulstorm, winter assault) the trainer it self crashes or both crash. I have tried to beat the same level in dark crusade as Tau fighting Necrons 6 times, each time, the game crashes because of the trainer. While i get that the game clunking out isnt your guys fault and i dont blame you for that, games older almost older than i am, still annyoing

Hey StonyBridge,

thank you for reporting the issue. Which exact cheat did you use that cause the game to crash? Does the game also crashes when not using the cheats at all?

Additionally, please try running both PLITCH and Steam as an administrator. You can do this by right-clicking on the desktop icons and selecting "Run as administrator".

mainly the god mode, or it could also be the morale one, i always turn on both, even though im not even sure that the morale one does. also, when the game crashes and i reboot it, if i dont reboot plitch the trainer dosent work, but only during the transition/loading screens, like when you select upgrades for your hero unit

Thanks for the info. Does the game crashes during regular gameplay or only during loading screens?

Have you tried activating all of the cheats AFTER loading into a mission and disabling during loading screens?

That seems to be the thing, if you active em DURING gameplay it works fine, but if you have them on during load screens theres a 1 in 3 chance the game'll crash, so you just have to keep the trainer up and just when your about to win, turn em all off.

But that creates a different problem. If you turn the cheats off or turn of the prepare button, the cheats then refuse to turn back on and even if you close and re-open plitch, they still dont work. You have to close both of them for the cheats to work again.

Could you please try disabling the individual cheats instead of the Prepare? For example, turn off the Unlimited Health and Unlimited Morale cheats before entering a loading screen to see if that prevents the crashes. Afterwards, you should be able to reactivate them.


If the crashes are caused by the Prepare itself, please make sure to first disable the Unlimited Health/Morale cheats before turning off the Prepare. This way, you should still be able to reactivate the cheats without needing to restart the game.
