Setup Instructions for Every Game

Last updated 2 min read

These steps apply to every game. Follow them in order before your first launch. Stage 1 is done once per PC; after that, launching takes under a minute.

01 Pre-launch setup

  1. Restart the PC and finish any pending Windows updates, so the system isn't reconfiguring drivers in the background while the loader runs.

  2. Uninstall any third-party antivirus and turn off real-time protection in Windows Defender. See How to disable Windows Defender.

  3. Remove other anti-cheats — Vanguard, ESEA, FACEIT — that conflict with our loader.

  4. Disable virtualization in BIOS and turn off the hypervisor. Run this in Command Prompt as administrator:

    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

  5. Disable Secure Boot in BIOS.

  6. Enable UEFI mode if your system is still on Legacy BIOS.

  7. Enable ASLR in Windows Defender exploit settings.

  8. Remove virtual machines and sandbox tooling.

  9. Optionally create a system restore point so you can roll back if anything breaks.

  10. Restart the PC after applying every change above.

Important

Most "it doesn't work" messages we get are a skipped step from this stage. Go through all ten before you blame the loader.

02 Required companion app

The PeekCheats loader runs through a companion app. Install the one that matches your game before the first start.

App Games
Medal Black Ops 7, The Finals, WARDOGS
SteelSeries GG Apex Legends, Rust, Escape from Tarkov, Arma Reforger

Each game is paired with one app only. The other app is not supported for that title.

Note

If your game isn't in the table, check your order email or ask support which app it needs before you start.

03 First start

  1. Download the loader from the downloads page and move it to a USB flash drive.
  2. Run the loader as administrator and log in using your key, sent by email after your purchase.
  3. Click Start and wait until the success popup appears.
  4. Once it closes, remove the USB drive from your PC.
  5. Launch your game launcher and start the game.
  6. Set the game to Borderless or Windowed in its graphics settings.

Tip

Check the live status page before you play. If your game shows Updating, a new build is still rolling out and the loader won't start yet.

If something doesn't work

Work through the troubleshooting guide, which covers the menu not showing, the menu not responding, ESP not drawing and connection errors, in the order worth trying.
