# Arcane

#### This Document will guide you through the setup of **Arcane ARK: Ascended**

{% embed url="<https://ssz.gg/cheats/product/432-arcane-ark/>" %}

This guide is divided into easy-to-follow sections to ensure a smooth and successful setup.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please follow all instructions carefully. Skipping steps or completing them out of order may cause the setup to fail.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Getting Started

Windows Defender will flag or delete the loader, so fully disable it **before** downloading anything.

First, turn off real-time protection so Defender doesn't delete DControl while you download it:

1. Search **"Virus & threat protection"** in your Windows search bar
2. Click **Manage settings**
3. Disable **all** settings here — including **Real-time protection**, **Cloud-delivered protection**, **Automatic sample submission**, and **Tamper Protection** (scroll down)

Then permanently disable Defender with **DControl**:

1. Download [DControl](https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=1tdso9fRwyVSartgvtIIrRtXarse3qsvi\&export=download\&authuser=0) (extraction password: **sordum**)
2. Extract the `.zip` — use [WinRAR](https://www.win-rar.com/download.html?\&L=0) if needed
3. Right-click **`dControl.exe`** → select **Run as administrator**
4. Click **Disable Windows Defender** — the window turns **red** when Defender is off

<details>

<summary>Why DControl?</summary>

The settings you disabled in the first step turn themselves back on when you restart your computer. DControl completely disables Windows Defender so it **stays off** after a restart — without it, you would have to repeat these steps every time you want to use the cheat.

</details>

{% hint style="info" %}
Defender blocking the tool itself, or want more detail? See the full [Set-Up DControl](/troubleshooting/common-fixes/set-up-dcontrol.md) guide.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Remove Other Anti-Cheats

Uninstall the following if installed:

* **FACEIT Anti-Cheat**
* **Vanguard** (Valorant Anti-Cheat)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Not sure how to fully uninstall these?** Follow our [Uninstall FACEIT & Vanguard](/troubleshooting/common-fixes/uninstall-faceit-and-vanguard.md) guide for a complete walkthrough, including how to remove leftover files and services.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Installing Required Files

These files are required for the cheat to operate correctly:

1. **Visual C++ Runtimes** — [download the All-in-One package](https://mega.nz/folder/WlQD0YyZ#raWJkl7EoGkmcpeHbIBLmw), extract it, then right-click **`install_all.bat`** → **Run as administrator**
2. **DirectX** — [download the DirectX End-User Runtime](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35) and run **`dxwebsetup.exe`**

{% hint style="info" %}
Getting DLL errors anyway? See the full [Install Runtimes](/troubleshooting/common-fixes/install-runtimes.md) and [Install DirectX](/troubleshooting/common-fixes/install-directx.md) guides.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Download and setting up overlays

{% embed url="<https://customer-5zyd101ph9d4nvw4.cloudflarestream.com/1530c41a50c721c67feb11f6af22b0e1/watch>" %}

**FOR NVIDIA GPU :** [Geforce-experience](https://www.nvidia.com/ru-ru/geforce/geforce-experience/download/) :

> To use the GeForce Experience overlay, open the settings, go to General, and enable IN-GAME OVERLAY

**FOR AMD GPU:** [Steelseries.com/gg](https://steelseries.com/gg/download/) :

> To use SteelSeries, go to settings in the GENERAL -> General section, turn on Sonar, then go to the SONAR -> Shortcuts tab and set the "F7" key for Master - Volume Up. You need to press this bind before injection

Before proceeding:

* Close all games and launchers (**Steam, Origin, Battle.net**, etc.)
* Disable all overlays:
  * Discord
  * GeForce Experience
  * MSI Afterburner
  * MedalTV
  * Any other background overlays
    {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Download Loader

<a href="https://mega.nz/folder/SFEijIYB#ItpPdnVINK3H-rQXK6DJjw" class="button primary" data-icon="desktop-arrow-down">Download Loader</a>

* Download the **Arcane Loader**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Loader didn't open, or the file disappeared after downloading?** Windows Defender is not fully disabled — go back to the **Getting Started** step.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Injection Process

**Step-by-Step Injection**<br>

**Open the loader as Administrator**

1. Log in using your **license key**
2. Click **Start** and wait for the **success popup**
3. The loader will close automatically
4. Start your launcher, then open the game
5. Set the game display mode to **Borderless** or **Windowed**
6. Use insert on your keyboard to open and close the menu
   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**To reduce the risk of your account and HWID being banned**, it is highly recommended to use a HWID spoofer.

If you need a HWID spoofer, check out [SSZ Spoofer](https://ssz.gg/cheats/product/470-ssz-spoofer/) in our store. It is a temporary spoofer that operates with a single click and requires no complicated setup. Run it after injecting the cheat software.
{% endhint %}
