Is the shortcut you're using pointing at the game's exe as it needs to be, rather than the launcher?

Did you see that it's pointing at

....../GC2DarkAvatar.exe" cheat

rather than

....../DALaunch.exe" cheat

like I asked?

That's the single most common problem. If you do the former rather than the latter, it works just fine.
