Preparation

0 of 7 steps
Enable virtualization (VT-x / SVM) The loader needs hardware CPU virtualization. Enabled in BIOS.
  1. Enter BIOS/UEFI and open Advanced → CPU Configuration (naming varies by board).
  2. Enable Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) on Intel, or SVM Mode on AMD. Save and reboot.

Enable Hyper-V Needed when the product requirements say Hyper-V must be on. Enabled in Windows features.
  1. Open Control Panel → Programs → Turn Windows features on or off and tick Hyper-V with all its sub-items.
  2. Open Command Prompt as administrator, run the command, then reboot:
    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
Disk in GPT layout If the loader says “Unsupported firmware”, the system disk is MBR and needs converting to GPT.
  1. Check the layout: Win+R → diskmgmt.msc, right-click the system disk → Properties → Volumes → Partition style. It should read GUID (GPT).
  2. If it's MBR, convert without data loss: admin Command Prompt, run mbr2gpt /convert /allowfullOS. After converting, switch the BIOS boot mode to UEFI.
Back up anything important before converting. It usually goes smoothly, but a disk is a disk.
Disable Secure Boot Secure Boot stops the loader from starting. Check the status first, then disable it in BIOS if needed.
  1. Check the status: press Win + R, type msinfo32, and in System Summary find Secure Boot State. If it reads Off or Unsupported — you're set, skip the rest.
  2. If it's On — enter BIOS/UEFI (tap Del, F2 or F10 while the PC boots — depends on the motherboard).
  3. Find Boot or Security → Secure Boot and set it to Disabled. Save (usually F10) and reboot.
    • If Secure Boot is greyed out, set a Supervisor Password under Security first — that unlocks the option. You can remove the password afterwards.

  1. Check that virtualization is on: Task Manager → Performance → CPU, the Virtualization line should read Enabled.
  2. Set the BIOS boot mode to UEFI (guide).
  3. If Hyper-V is missing from the list, download the bat file, run it as administrator and restart the PC.

Launch

0 of 12 steps
  1. Download the loader and move it to a USB flash drive. No copy of the loader should stay in Downloads or other folders.
  2. Close Steam from the tray icon: Exit Steam.
  3. Run the loader from the flash drive and wait for its menu.
  4. Press Start and wait for the product to load.
  5. When the loader closes (its menu and tray icon disappear), physically unplug the flash drive.
  6. A couple of minutes later the loader offers to restart the system — press OK.
  7. In RivaTuner move On-Screen Display zoom all the way left and put the frame counter in the top left corner.
  8. In Display palette move the alpha channel all the way left.
  9. In RivaTuner set Application detection level to High.
  10. Launch Rust and wait for the product menu.
  11. Note: repeat the flash drive and Steam steps before every loader launch, and start the game only with the flash drive unplugged.

Problems & fixes

2
The loader says a requirement is not met
Open the Configs tab in the loader: the main items should be green. A red item is a preparation step left undone: virtualization, Hyper-V, GPT, UEFI or Secure Boot.
The menu does not show in the game
Check RivaTuner: On-Screen Display zoom and the alpha channel in Display palette all the way left, Application detection level on High. Then restart the game.

FAQ

1
Why does Covcheg External need RivaTuner?
It is an external cheat: the menu and ESP are drawn through the RivaTuner Statistics Server overlay, so the program has to be installed on your PC.
