How to Check If a Cheat Evolution Trainer Matches Your Game Version

A Cheat Evolution trainer matches your game only when the game version listed on the trainer's page equals the version you actually have installed. Each trainer page states the supported game version (for example, "Steam v0.44.3.4666") and a "Last Updated" date. If your installed version differs from the listed one, the trainer may fail to attach or its cheats may not work. So the check is: read the trainer page's version string, then compare it against your own game's version number and platform.

Step 1: Find your own game version and platform

You need two pieces of information before comparing anything:

• Platform — where you bought or run the game (for example, Steam, Epic, GOG, or a standalone build). Trainer pages on Cheat Evolution name the platform, so a Steam trainer is not meant for a GOG copy.
• Version number — the exact build string your game reports.

How to get the version depends on the store:

Write the number down exactly, including all segments (e.g. 0.44.3.4666). Partial matches are not enough — 0.44.3 and 0.44.3.4666 can behave differently.

Step 2: Read the trainer page's supported version

On the trainer's page, look for the version line. Using the site's own listing as an example, the Permafrost trainer is described as:

+32 cheats for game version: Steam v0.44.3.4666 Last Updated: 12.10.2026

That single line gives you everything you need to compare:

• Platform: Steam
• Supported version: v0.44.3.4666
• Last Updated: 12.10.2026

Step 3: Compare the two

• Exact match (your version = listed version, same platform): the trainer is built for your build. Proceed.
• Platform mismatch (e.g. you have GOG, page says Steam): do not use it — find the trainer listed for your platform.
• Version mismatch (your build is newer or older than the listed one): the trainer is not confirmed to work. This is the most common cause of cheats that toggle on but do nothing, or that crash the game.

Why version mismatches break trainers

Trainers work by locating specific values or code locations inside the running game. When the developer patches the game, those locations can move or change, so a trainer built for an older build may no longer find what it expects. That is why the listed version string matters more than the trainer's popularity or cheat count.

Using the "Last Updated" date

The Last Updated date tells you how fresh the trainer is relative to the game's patch history:

• If the game was patched after the trainer's Last Updated date, assume the trainer is behind until the page says otherwise.
• If the game has not been patched since that date, an exact version match is likely still valid.
• A recent Last Updated date combined with a version string that matches your build is the strongest signal that the trainer will work.

Common pitfalls

• Auto-updates. Steam and other clients can update a game silently. A trainer that worked yesterday may stop matching after an update — re-check the version before assuming the trainer is broken.
• Beta / branch builds. If you opted into a beta branch, your version will differ from the default public build the trainer targets.
• Reading the wrong number. Some games show a launcher version rather than the game build. Confirm you are reading the in-game or store-reported build.
• Assuming "latest" means "matching." The newest trainer on the site is not automatically right for your install; only the version string decides that.

Quick checklist

1. Note your game's platform and exact version.
2. Open the trainer page and read its supported version and Last Updated date.
3. Confirm platform matches and version matches exactly.
4. If the game has updated since the trainer's Last Updated date, treat it as unverified until the page reflects your build.

If everything lines up, the trainer is the right one for your install. If not, look for a trainer entry that lists your exact version and platform.
