I have already had multiple issues with the Infinity trainer. However, after finally figuring out how to point Infinity to my game’s location in the Steam folder, I followed the steps I have seen in other threads.
First I launched the game via Steam.
Next I clicked “Start Game” within Infinity.
However, this is as far as I’ve managed to get. My game freezes, and Infinity just has a loading icon next to where the Start Game button was.
I guess im a lucky bastard, never had problems with infinity, maybe Disgaea 2 has been updated in the last few days? try disabling momentary your AV, doubt is causing the problem thou.
Oh, that’s the other thing I forgot to mention. I always either make an exception in my anti-virus, or turn it off when using a a trainer like this. So I know for a fact that isn’t causing the issue.
Is this little circle animated in your case?
If its animated you should try letting it circle around for around 3 minutes, i had a similar situation the first time i tested infinity in Fallout Shelter, but left it there for less than 5 minutes and worked.
I´m checkmated by your issue, hopefully a big fish drops by and gives a hand
What infinity does is download the trainer when that spinning icon shows, if it takes forever there could be several issues such as an AV interfering (depending on your AV, simply adding to exception isn’t enough e.g for avast and norton), the cache folder has permissions messed up (infinity can’t read/write), or corrupted trainer download and infinity tries to communicate with a non-existent/corrupted trainer.
Press ctrl+shift+d then console tab and see what is going wrong.
Well I have completely uninstalled my anti-virus and tested it that way, but the problem still persists. What exactly am I supposed to look for in the Developer Tools menu?
nvm, i just talked to frank…there was a bug. Clear your cache again (icdv2) then launch infinity. It should find your game automatically this time without manually selecting the folder.
I really appreciate your assistance, and I’m not frustrated with you. I’m more frustrated at myself for not being able to figure something like this out. Normally I can. Anyway, here is the console log.
Well, we now know what the problem is…thanks for that image.
Steam seems to be running in admin mode whereas infinity isn’t. Infinity tries to elevate itself but fails for some reason. You can try
Run infinity as admin or
Run both steam and infinity in normal mode (non admin).
Run infinity as admin and steam in normal mode
I would say the likely culprit for this issue is AVs but you said you uninstalled it so i am not sure why infinity can’t grant permissions or even need elevation.
PS: Does this happen for other games too or just disgaea 2?
I tried relaunching Infinity as admin, but that resulted in the same issue.
Next I closed out of everything, and launched both Steam and Infinity in normal mode. That resulted in the same issue.
Finally, I relaunched Infinity as admin, with Steam in normal mode, and that still resulted in the same issue. I checked the console log each time as well, and noticed that it was still displaying the exact same messages as before. So I’m really not sure what’s going on. I don’t have any antivirus currently on my computer since I have been trying to troubleshoot this.
I’m also not sure if this happens with any other games. I downloaded Infinity just today for the sole purpose of using it with Disgaea 2. So I don’t know how it behaves with other games.
