trainer/patch problem

[sunexplodes]

i got fallout tactics about a couple weeks ago... and it worked fine with the trainer that i'd been using.

until today, when i installed the patch, which now doesn't seem to allow me to use the 'cheat mode' that the trainer seems to enable.

if i open the trainer, and then try to run the game, the game doesn't load. and if i run the game first, the trainer doesn't load.

now, that leaves me with two questions:

1) is this a common problem that has an easy fix?

2) is there a way to use the in-game cheats without a trainer, such as hacking a config file?

thanks for any input, ladies and gentlemen.

Cheers.

Awww man, try playing the game without the trainer at least for the first time through. Talk about spoiling your fun! If its too hard you can play it on easy game difficulty level. Otherwise its too much like beating the crap out of a quadriplegic
