Hi all.
I'm not sure if what I'm about to ask is "allowed", or if it's even kosher to do so; it's not illegal like "pirating", but I'll guess I'll find out if my post is deleted/ removed by an Admin.
From the title of my post, I'm referring to what some of you PC Gamer's know as a game "trainer". As you might already know, it's a little program that you run simultaneously with a game, and then when in-game, you press certain designated keys and you receive things like Infinite Health (or, "God Mode"); Infinite Ammo; No Reload; etc.
I've used game trainers for years for a, uhhh,.....little help with a game Yes, I know; in plain terms it's cheating.
If my post doesn't get removed & deleted, here's my dilemma:
I just recently purchased a copy of the game "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" from Amazon.com. And yes, I know, COD: AW is a couple of years old now (2014), but Amazon had it for sale at a good price.
After the game box arrived in my mail, I opened the case and there were 6 DVD's inside for the install. And then I notice on the back of the box/ case....a Steam Account is required. Swell.
I know there are a lot of gamers out there that probably think that Steam is the greatest thing since sliced bread; not me. I've really only had one other game that required a Steam Account, and that was way back in 2007 for the game "Portal". Some years later I purchased the game "F.E.A.R. 2", but didn't notice the fine print on the box that it required a Steam Account; luckily, I was able to return it to the company (developer/ maker of the game, not Steam) for a refund. Retail stores don't do much return on video games nowadays due to CD/ DVD burners.
So anyway, when I purchased COD: AW from Amazon, I didn't know Steam was involved. I won't get off track too much here, but let me tell ya, just the install process itself was a b*tch
So.....some of you might be familiar with the web site of GameCopyWorld; this is where I've gotten a lot of my game trainers through the years.
And let me say up front that I am aware that when there are many trainers available for a given game, you have to make sure you're choosing the correct one according to what version of the game you have.
I don't know whether having to have a Steam Account to play this game effects this, but I cannot seem to get the correct trainer to use along with my COD: AW game.
During a 'Net search, I think I came across a post on a Steam forum that said that the version you see on the game's executable file doesn't matter, that it's something else that effects what version of the game you have (and hence, what version of a trainer you should use).
For what it's worth, when I drill down in my Steam folder to get to the game's executable file, for COD: AW, it's called, "s1_sp64_ship"; and, the version of this file is: 1.22.0.1
If you were to go to GameCopyWorld and make your way to the page with the trainers for COD: AW, there are trainers for versions from 1.0 all the way to a 1.7......and then it jumps to a version 1.15, a 1.16, and then a 1.18
Well, according to my executable's file (1.22.0.1), wouldn't I have a version 1.2?
And to make sure your Steam game has the latest updates, I found that you do this: Launch your Steam app, go to Libraries, right-click on your game and select Properties; then go to the tab of Local Files, and click on the button of "Verify Integrity of Game Cache". I've done that, but my game stays at 1.22.0.1
Should I be getting a later version? Like 1.3? 1.7? Or 1.18? Or does all of that depend on what copy of the game you purchased?
So....can anybody help? What version of the trainer do I use for my copy of COD: AW? I started downloading and going through many of the trainers on GameCopyWorld just to see if I could stumble upon the correct one. But when I would attempt to use the trainer during the game and press the designated activation keys, there would be no effect in the game (no Infinite Health, no Infinite Ammo, etc.), or, it would just cause the game to crash back to desktop.
And also, just to let you know: I'm not into the multiplayer aspect of the game like a lot of people are; I want the trainer to help me with the Campaign part of the game.
Thanks for any help or suggestion,
Pez
