Restart and enter your BIOS settings, look for "Hotkey Settings", "Function Key Behavior" or something similar. You have the option to change the bindings from "Hotkey" to "Legacy". Or it may say "Function" or "Multimedia". It will change whether pressing the key changes the action or the function key. For instance, if you have to hold function to Use F1 you will now have to hold function to adjust volume (or whatever is there as the alternate).
Hm... well, be as it may, I have indeed changed the BIOS settings such that I have to press the fn button to activate any of the F1-F12 buttons for their functions. However, as many people have been commenting here, they simply cannot get the trainer to work. None of the buttons work anymore when I try pressing them *EVEN* when disabling the direct function button settings...
So I do suspect some rather suggestive "needs to be a donator" kinda feel to this trainer, but let me explore some more and see if I can get this up and running. Thank you for the help - though would you be able to give me any more advice on the matter?
[Update]: Alright, figured that I needed to open the game FIRST before activating the cheat console (for some weird reason).
Anyhow, as mentioned by previous people, only the F1 cheat and the Infinite food cheat work - all other buttons, WITH BIOS settings for the fn keys properly disabled. If anyone could tell me more about how to fix this (please don't tell me I need f****** Steam for this too) about activating this trainer.
[Update 2]: Realized my build for RTW2 was incorrect for the trainer I downloaded. I currently have the 15539 build and I downloaded the latest trainer build -_- (which was the 16155 one).
Regardless, I re-installed the trainer for the newest version (the trainer build for mine strangely doesn't work; it keeps saying there is malicious/broken software in the file) and, this time, the cheats actually started working for a change.
All except for the F2 cheat.
So, to my apparent and misguided delight, I thought the cheats on the trainer would finally start working.
To my utter dismay, the only cheat that worked per se was, yet again, the food cheat.
I can't find a RTW2 downloaded for the latest build (16155) atm, so... what to do next?
Thanks, Jae
