Games on this page: Apex Legends, ARC Raiders, Arma Reforger, Battlefield 6, Conan Exiles, Fortnite, Grand Theft Auto 5, Hunt: Showdown, Meccha Chameleon, Mistfall Hunter, Palworld, Rust, Sea of Thieves, Squad, The Finals, Wardogs.

The whole order for these games lives on this page: the preparation every Arcane product needs, the Discord overlay the menu is drawn on, the loader and the keys in game. Do not skip the preparation — more than half of all support requests end right there.

What to install and check#

1. Install the Visual C++ libraries (download).
2. Disable Intel Rapid Storage Technology in the BIOS.
3. Restart the computer. This is a required step, not a suggestion: without the restart the loader often closes without saying anything.

What to disable and remove#

• Remove third-party antivirus software — remove it, do not "pause protection for 10 minutes".
• Turn off Windows Defender together with real-time protection.
• Turn off SmartScreen.
• Remove FaceIt and Vanguard. FaceIt is the CS:GO anticheat, Vanguard is the Valorant anticheat; both load with the system and interfere with the launch even in other games.

Setting up the Discord overlay#

1. Download Discord from the official site.
2. Sign in to your account or create a new one.
3. In the Discord settings turn on "Enable in-game overlay" and turn off "Use legacy overlay".
4. In the same settings turn on "Enable hardware acceleration".
5. Check that the overlay is not disabled for your specific game: Discord can switch it off per game, and the global setting does not override that.

Downloading the loader#

The file sits at three addresses, the contents are identical:

• storage.e-arcane.com
• mirror 1, MEGA
• mirror 2, Yandex Disk

Put it in a folder of its own — the loader updates itself and drops working files next to it.

Launching#

1. Run the loader file as administrator.
2. Wait for the loader to update itself, then run it again.
3. Enter your key and press Enter. In the CMD window the key is pasted with the right mouse button.
4. Wait for the loader to close on its own: it closes once the load has succeeded.
5. Start the game — the menu appears automatically.

The menu in game#

• Through the Discord overlay the menu does not show up straight away — it takes a minute or two after the game starts. Until it appears, do not switch to other windows: the delay is normal, not a freeze.
• Unloading with END does not work everywhere: in some games the key works, in others it does not. If nothing happens, close the game the usual way.

Arcane Radar for ARC Raiders is a different product: it needs no overlay, its map opens as a page in the browser, and its launch order is its own. Your game is not on the list above? Then it runs on another overlay — NVIDIA or AMD or SteelSeries.
