The cheat runs through its own hypervisor, which the launcher installs itself. You prepare Windows and the BIOS without skipping steps.
Requirements
Tick what matches your PC:
- Windows 10 / 11, versions 2004–25H2
- AMD or Intel CPU
- Disk format — GPT, BIOS — UEFI
- Only an official Windows image installed from a clean ISO. Trimmed, “improved”, “gaming” builds and Windows with disabled components are not guaranteed to work
- No USB stick required
- WARDOGS from Steam, Borderless window mode
System requirements
- Operating system Windows 10 or 11, x64 Builds 2004 – 25H2
- Processor Intel or AMD
- Graphics card NVIDIA or AMD
- Game mode Borderless window
- Launchers Steam
- Built-in spoofer No
Preparation
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.
- Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps (or Control Panel → Programs and Features).
- Uninstall any third-party antivirus (Kaspersky, Avast, AVG, ESET, 360, Malwarebytes, etc.). Pausing or disabling is not enough — the antivirus driver stays resident.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- Step 2. Disable reputation-based protection. In Windows Security → App & browser control → Reputation-based protection → Settings, turn everything off (SmartScreen, potentially-unwanted-app blocking).
- Step 3. Remove Defender from startup. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) → Startup apps tab, find Windows Security notification icon and click Disable.
- Step 4. Restart your computer. This is mandatory — some Defender services only unload after a reboot.
- 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.
Disable Core Isolation Memory Integrity blocks the driver from loading. Takes a minute to switch off.
- Open Windows Security → Device security → Core isolation details.
- Turn off Memory Integrity and restart the PC.
Enable virtualization (VT-x / SVM) The loader needs hardware CPU virtualization. Enabled in BIOS.
- Enter BIOS/UEFI and open Advanced → CPU Configuration (naming varies by board).
- Enable Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) on Intel, or SVM Mode on AMD. Save and reboot.
Disable Secure Boot Secure Boot stops the loader from starting. Check the status first, then disable it in BIOS if needed.
- Check the status: press
Win + R, typemsinfo32, and in System Summary find Secure Boot State. If it reads Off or Unsupported — you're set, skip the rest. - If it's On — enter BIOS/UEFI (tap
Del,F2orF10while the PC boots — depends on the motherboard). - 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.
Sync Windows time A wrong system clock breaks key authorization against the license server.
- Open Settings → Time & language → Date & time, enable Set time automatically and click Sync now.
- Turn off User Account Control (UAC) and the Windows firewall — following telegra.ph/Manual-RU-08-25.
- Uninstall game and PC boosters and reversing tools: RivaTuner Statistics Server, MSI Afterburner, GearUP Booster, IDA, Cheat Engine, Process Hacker and the like — they interfere with the software too.
- In the BIOS on Intel, enable VT-d in addition to VT-x. On any CPU turn TPM / TPM 2.0 off.
- Remove everything extra from startup: Task Manager → Startup apps.
- Before the first launch press Diagnostics in the launcher — it checks the system by itself and finds possible problems.
Launch
- Download Launcher.exe: 2.27.98.208:8080/user — sign in with the key from your order.
- Start WARDOGS.
- Run Launcher.exe. Windows asks for administrator rights — press “Yes”.
- The launcher window opens. Enter the license key and press Activate.
- Press Launch on the main screen — the launcher checks the system. If the hypervisor is not active, the launcher downloads and installs it by itself: a reboot is needed after that, then run the launcher again. If the hypervisor is active but the game is not running, the launcher asks you to start it — start the game and join a server. If everything is fine, the Inject button appears.
- Press Inject — the launcher downloads and starts the cheat. Progress shows on the right, in System Log.
- Switch to the game — boxes around players are already on screen. Press
Insertto open the settings menu.
Problems & fixes
8Hypervisor is NOT active
Game is NOT running
The overlay is not visible in game
Stopped working after a Windows update
WebView2 Runtime not found
Auth failed / the key is not accepted
The launcher does not start
Windows stopped booting
Shift + F10 on the language screen, and in the command prompt run diskpart → list volume → find the small FAT32 volume of 100–500 MB → select volume X → assign letter=Z → exit, then bcdboot C:\Windows /s Z: /f ALL (replace C with the Windows volume letter). After “Boot files successfully created” reboot without the USB stick.Advanced setup — only if it still won’t launch
Disable Hyper-V and Windows virtualization Windows' own virtualization features grab the hypervisor and get in the loader's way. Disabled separately from VT-x.
- Open Control Panel → Programs → Turn Windows features on or off and uncheck Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform.
- Open Command Prompt as administrator, run the command, then reboot:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off - Also turn off Memory Integrity and Application Guard if enabled (see “Disable Core Isolation”).
Disk in GPT layout If the loader says “Unsupported firmware”, the system disk is MBR and needs converting to GPT.
- Check the layout: Win+R → diskmgmt.msc, right-click the system disk → Properties → Volumes → Partition style. It should read GUID (GPT).
- If it's MBR, convert without data loss: admin Command Prompt, run mbr2gpt /convert /allowfullOS. After converting, switch the BIOS boot mode to UEFI.
Update Visual C++ and DirectX Up-to-date runtimes keep the loader and overlay from crashing at start.
- Install Visual C++ Redistributable x64 and restart the PC.
- Update DirectX if you haven't in a while.
