Is the game running in 32-bit or 64-bit for you? You can find out by opening task manager and then checking if it says 32-bit or not. If you’re playing normally then ignore this point. If you are running the game on Hard difficulty or not playing the campaign mode, mention this. Which cheat is causing the issue for you? Do NOT activate all of them at once instead test each one separately and figure out which one is the one not working for you and let me know. If you like installing mods yourself, you can go through Civfanatics: Download from the Steam Workshop. I recommend installing it via the steam workshop, since every legit Civilzation 5 owner has to use it. If you can’t find the version, mention if you have latest of steam/origin version or where you downloaded the cracked version from. You can start cheating by getting Civ 5's ingame editor from one of the following sources.

Game version - You can find the game version either at game menu or right clicking on game exe and going to its Properties then Details tab. What is the game source (Steam/Origin/Cracked(CODEX/3DM/RELOADED)/Retail/GOG Galaxy) I’ve tried disabling the DLC too, but no luck. I don’t have this problem with any other game or trainer though, only civilization. I try to open up the trainer once the game is running but it still says its taking too long, even if I’m mid game. Try unchecking Civ 5 DirectX 9 and Civ 5 DirectX 10/11 in the Virtu MVP control panel. Some military thing, listed by continent. Its understandable that youre looking for Civilization 6 cheats. But when the game starts for a second or two it’ll say “stopped responding” then infinity throws out the taking too long error. Even if you don’t want to cheat (just press shift+56 immediately after exiting the replay option to avoid seeing the map), this is handy. I’ve run infinity as Admin, both are 32bit, and infinity finds the right exe and it starts the game.

Your game exe is different than the one trainer is looking for.

Architecture Mismatch - Either the game is 32-bit and Infinity requires it to be 64-bit or game is 64-bit and infinity is looking for 32-bit.

Game could not be started or it is taking too long to load
