The whole order 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 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 CS2 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#
- Download Discord from the official site.
- Sign in to your account or create a new one.
- In the Discord settings turn on "Enable in-game overlay" and turn off "Use legacy overlay".
- In the same settings turn on "Enable hardware acceleration".
- 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:
Put it in a folder of its own — the loader updates itself and drops working files next to it.
Launching#
- Run the loader file as administrator.
- Wait for the loader to update itself, then run it again.
- Enter your key and press Enter. In the CMD window the key is pasted with the right mouse button.
- Wait for the loader to close on its own: it closes once the load has succeeded.
- Start the game — the menu appears automatically.
The menu in game#
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Open and close the menu | Home or Insert |
| Unload the software | END |
- 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.
