I just got this game and patched it to 1.4 I can't get the cheats to work. This is my first time through the game, so I just want to cheat my first time through. Do the cheats work with 1.4? How do I enter the cheats, because maybe I am doing it wrong. The cheat that I want to work is for god mode.

Do a search on -devmode
and get the instructions on adding it to your desktop shortcut.

Whats the point of using cheats to play through the game the first time?

Just do it on EASY and have fun...kinda takes the challenge away knowing youve got cheats enabled.
