Preparation

Turn off Windows protection — that's enough for most systems.
0 of 7 steps
Remove third-party antivirus and anti-cheats Kaspersky, Avast, ESET and the like, plus FaceIT and Riot Vanguard, conflict with the loader. They must be uninstalled, not just paused.
  1. Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps (or Control Panel → Programs and Features).
  2. Uninstall any third-party antivirus (Kaspersky, Avast, AVG, ESET, 360, Malwarebytes, etc.). Pausing or disabling is not enough — the antivirus driver stays resident.
  3. Uninstall the FaceIT AC and Riot Vanguard anti-cheats if present — they block third-party software at the kernel level.
    • FaceIT is the CS2 anti-cheat, Vanguard is the Valorant one. If you don't play those games, they are safe to remove.
After removing an antivirus, restart the PC — some of its services only unload after a reboot.
A full walkthrough covering every case: How to turn off Windows Defender in Windows 11 and 10: fully or for one folder
Fully disable Windows Defender The #1 cause of “it won't launch”. Disable it for real: manually first, then remove it from startup, reboot, and finish it off with Defender Control.
  1. Step 1. Turn protection off by hand. Open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings and switch every toggle off:
    • Real-time protection — Off.
    • Cloud-delivered protection — Off.
    • Automatic sample submission — Off.
    • Tamper Protection — Off. Turn this one off first, otherwise the others switch themselves back on.
  2. Step 2. Disable reputation-based protection. In Windows Security → App & browser control → Reputation-based protection → Settings, turn everything off (SmartScreen, potentially-unwanted-app blocking).
  3. Step 3. Remove Defender from startup. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) → Startup apps tab, find Windows Security notification icon and click Disable.
  4. Step 4. Restart your computer. This is mandatory — some Defender services only unload after a reboot.
  5. Step 5. Finish with Defender Control. Download Defender Control (archive password: r1xon), run it as administrator and click Disable Windows Defender — the tile turns red.
    • If your antivirus deletes the utility itself, protection is still active — go back to step 1. The file ships zipped on purpose so Defender can't wipe it before it's disabled.
Don't skip steps 3–4. “I turned the toggles off but it didn't help” almost always means Defender came back after restart because it was left in startup.

Problems & fixes

20
If you have an AMD GPU and see an error like in the screenshot
First install the current Visual C++ x64. If that does not help, close every AMD/Radeon process in Task Manager, download Libs.rar, and replace the DLL files in C:\Program Files\AMD\CNext\CNext. Then restart AMD Software and make sure performance metrics display is enabled.
Error “Please make sure PIN is not set in Windows sign-in options and manually disable Hyper-V”
  1. Remove the Windows sign-in PIN completely: Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options. The error is about the PIN, not the account password.
  2. In Windows Features, turn off Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform; turn off Memory Integrity (Windows Security → Device security → Core isolation details); run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off in an administrator PowerShell.
  3. Restart the PC.
  4. If the window is still there, run R1XON Checker, press “Copy report” and paste the text into your support request. The window itself is no proof that Hyper-V is on: it also appears when the hypervisor is already off and no Windows PIN is set.

Do not disable hardware virtualization (VT-x / SVM) in BIOS. The product needs it, and turning it off changes the error to “VMX / SVM is not supported”.
Error “Failed to map memory”
If the PC has less than 12 GB of RAM, it does not meet the requirement — contact the seller. If there is enough memory, disable every startup app and restart the PC. If the error remains, download Microsoft Autoruns, disable the CurrentVersion\Run entries on the Logon tab, and restart again.
The loader closed without errors
Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable — download Visual C++ x64.
The menu is in the game, but you cannot interact with it
Run the selected overlay as administrator and try launching again.
Windows 10 error “Make sure all antiviruses are disabled”
Completely uninstall third-party antivirus software, disable Real-time protection and SmartScreen, then restart the PC. After rebooting, run R1XON Checker and resolve every remaining red security item.
Windows 11 error “Make sure all antiviruses are disabled”
Download the Turn_ON / Turn_OFF archive. Run Turn_ON, accept the registry changes and restart; then run Turn_OFF, accept the changes and restart once more. If the error remains, uninstall third-party antivirus software and verify that Real-time protection is actually disabled.
Other errors caused by the loader
Take a screenshot of the error and contact support on the website. If needed, prepare AnyDesk for remote diagnostics.

Advanced setup — only if it still won’t launch

Use a VPN for download and activation CIS ISPs often block the activation servers. A VPN is needed while downloading the loader, activating the key and injecting — you can turn it off before joining a match.
  1. Use a full VPN — an app that routes all traffic, not a browser proxy or extension: half the support tickets come from exactly this. In Happ and similar clients turn on TUN mode.
  2. Turn the VPN on before downloading the loader and activating the key. If something won't load, switch country (Europe or the US usually work).
  3. After a successful inject you can turn the VPN off before the match to avoid extra ping.
A VPN fixes most endless-loading and “key won't activate” problems.
No VPN of your own? Get R1XON VPN from us, from $2.09, for PC and phone
Update Visual C++ and DirectX Up-to-date runtimes keep the loader and overlay from crashing at start.
  1. Install Visual C++ Redistributable x64 and restart the PC.
  2. Update DirectX if you haven't in a while.

FAQ

Where do I get the key after payment?
The key arrives instantly after payment — it appears on the order page and lands in your email, and if Telegram is linked to your account, our bot sends a copy too. This guide opens from there as well.
Why open the radar on a phone?
It's safer: a radar browser on the gaming PC raises detection risk. A phone or tablet next to you is ideal.

Still stuck?

Run R1XON Checker first — it pinpoints most launch problems in 30 seconds. If it still fails, attach the checker report to your support ticket and we’ll sort it out fast.
