Troubleshooting
The trainer does not detect S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Make sure the game is fully loaded before opening the trainer. If you launched the trainer first, close it and reopen it after the game is running. Also verify you are running the latest version of both the trainer and the game. Some store versions (Steam vs Epic vs GOG) may require different detection methods, so check the RG Trainer settings for store-specific options.
Cheats stop working after a game update
Game updates can change memory addresses that the trainer relies on. When S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl receives a patch, the RG Trainer team typically releases a compatibility update within 24-48 hours. Check the Rival Gaming forums or the trainer update feed for the latest version. In the meantime, you can roll back the game to the previous version through your launcher if you need cheats immediately.
My antivirus flags the trainer as malicious
Game trainers interact with running processes in ways that trigger heuristic antivirus detections. This is a false positive. The RG Trainer does not modify game files or inject code. Add the trainer executable and its installation folder to your antivirus exclusion list. Windows Defender users can do this through Settings, Virus and Threat Protection, Exclusions.
Cheats are enabled but nothing happens in-game
First, confirm the green status indicator shows the game is detected. If the indicator is green but cheats are not applying, try toggling them off and on again. Some cheats in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl only take effect during specific gameplay states. For example, health cheats may not register on a loading screen or during cutscenes. Also make sure no other overlay software is intercepting the hotkeys.
The game crashes when enabling certain cheats
Certain cheat combinations can conflict with each other or with specific game states. If you experience crashes, disable all cheats and re-enable them one at a time to identify which one causes the issue. Avoid enabling cheats during cutscenes or scripted sequences in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. If the problem persists, report it on the Rival Gaming forums with your game version and the specific cheats you were using.
