Problems & fixes, Dune: Awakening
Real problems with private cheats and the fixes that worked, collected from our support requests. Pick a game or product, or search.
Launch & crashes
The program launches but nothing happens, or it gets blocked even though the antivirus was removed long ago
The most common cause is leftovers from previously installed antivirus or security tools: their drivers and background files keep interfering with the program even after the antivirus itself has been removed.
Contact support — they can point you to a dedicated utility that checks your computer for such leftovers and help you remove them properly. After cleaning up, restart your computer and launch the program again.
SMG Dune: Awakening CheatThe cheat stopped working or shows an error after a game update — what should I do?
This is expected: after a major game update the developer needs time to adapt the program, usually anywhere from a few hours up to a day. Until the update is ready, the loader may fail to start or some features may work incorrectly.
- You don't need to update anything manually — the current version is pulled through the loader automatically.
- Check the product status on the website to see when the update is finished.
- If the program is temporarily unavailable due to an update, your subscription time is extended to cover the downtime.
- If it still won't launch a day after the game patch, contact support to check the update status.
The cheat freezes or closes on launch, the menu doesn't appear, or features like ESP and aim don't work — what could be causing this?
This is usually caused by the loader conflicting with your antivirus or other software on your PC. Try these steps in order:
- Add the loader folder to your antivirus and Windows Defender exclusions — it can silently delete or block its files.
- Temporarily disable real-time protection and launch the loader again.
- Close background programs, overlays, and recording software before starting the game.
If that doesn't help, contact support — they'll give you a compatibility-check utility to run, then ask for a screenshot of the result for accurate diagnosis.
Dullwave Dune: Awakening CheatLoader flashes briefly and disappears on startup — Windows security driver conflict
This is a common issue caused by Windows driver security components. Follow these steps:
- Download the Sordum utility (available from technical support; archive password: sordum), run it, click Search, and wait for it to finish.
- Apply the win_driver_OFF.reg file provided by support — it disables Windows driver signature enforcement. Reboot your PC afterwards.
- Make sure User Account Control (UAC) is disabled — the loader handles this automatically, but verify it manually if needed.
- If the issue persists, run sc query vgk, sc query faceit, sc query wdfilter in CMD and send a screenshot to support.
Loader connection error or infinite loading on startup — VPN or Network Manager required
Loader connection errors are usually caused by ISP-level blocking. Try the following steps:
- Enable a VPN (any country), launch the loader and click Inject. Once injected successfully, disable the VPN before starting the game.
- If VPN does not help: download the networkmanager.zip utility, run it, select «Find Best IP» and click Apply. Then try launching the loader again.
System freezes and mouse barely moves when entering the key in the loader
System freeze when entering the key is usually caused by HDR or antivirus conflicts. Do the following in order:
- Disable HDR in Windows display settings.
- Disable Windows Defender and make sure any third-party antivirus (e.g. Kaspersky) is fully uninstalled.
- Run the Sordum utility (available from technical support) to disable system security drivers, then reboot your PC.
Loader crashes or throws errors on startup — antivirus or Vanguard interfering
The most common cause is third-party antivirus or security software blocking the loader. Completely uninstall 360 Total Security, Vanguard (Valorant anti-cheat — must be uninstalled, not just disabled), and any other third-party antivirus.
After removal: download the Sordum utility (available from technical support; archive password — sordum), run it, click Search, and wait for it to finish. Then reboot your PC and try launching the loader again.
If errors persist, send a screenshot of your installed programs list to support. As a last resort, a clean Windows reinstall resolves the issue.
SMG Dune: Awakening CheatLoader keeps asking to reboot the PC — stuck in a reboot loop
Run a system file repair: open Command Prompt as Administrator and execute two commands — first DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, then sfc /scannow. After that, make sure Fast Boot is disabled in BIOS/UEFI, then reboot.
If the issue persists, a clean Windows reinstall is required. Use the Pro edition only — Home versions may lack required components for the loader to function correctly.
SMG Dune: Awakening CheatCheat stopped working after PC reboot , loader shows OK but the game won't start
After each reboot, Windows Defender or another antivirus may restore its settings and block the loader files. Make sure protection is disabled, then click Start Game in the loader again.
Also verify that Valorant Anti-Cheat (vgc / vanguard) is fully uninstalled , it conflicts with the loader.
Dullwave Dune: Awakening CheatThe loader won't open and says it can't find d3dx9_43.dll
This error means the computer is missing DirectX components the program needs to run. Download and install the official DirectX Redistributable package from Microsoft, then restart your computer.
If the error persists, update your graphics drivers and try launching again.
SMG Dune: Awakening CheatAfter a game update the cheat stopped working and the loader shows access as temporarily frozen — is that normal?
Yes, that's expected. After a major game update, the cheat is temporarily taken offline for an update — during this time the loader may show your access as frozen, but your subscription time is not being used up.
You don't need to reinstall or re-download the loader manually — access turns back on automatically once a new version is released for the current game patch. You can ask support for an estimated timeframe.
Dullwave Dune: Awakening CheatFeatures & setup
The menu doesn't open with the hotkey after launching the game
Switching the game to windowed mode is usually what fixes this — in fullscreen mode the menu hotkey may not respond.
- Finish all loader steps exactly as instructed, then start the game in windowed mode.
- Press the menu hotkey specified in the instructions only after the game has fully loaded.
- If the menu still doesn't appear, reinstall the program and try again from scratch; if the issue persists, contact support and attach a screenshot of what happens when you press the key.
Do I need to enable Discord screen-share bypass separately?
Discord screen-share bypass is built in and works automatically — there is no separate toggle for it. The key requirement is to choose "Game Capture" instead of "Screen Capture" when streaming; that way viewers will not see the program's window.
SMG Dune: Awakening CheatKeys & activation
Can I use one key on several computers or after switching PCs?
An activation key is bound to the hardware of one specific device (HWID) the first time you run it, and it only works on that device — you can't use the same key on several computers at once, and launching it on another PC will just return an error.
If you switch computers or reinstall Windows, the hardware binding resets along with the system. After installing a supported Windows version on the new device, contact support — once your situation is confirmed, they may extend your key's validity to cover the time spent setting things up.
SMG Dune: Awakening CheatAfter running the spoofer some hardware serial numbers didn't change
Sometimes the spoofer doesn't change every component in a single run — for example the motherboard serial number can stay the same while the SSD and RAM are spoofed correctly. That's normal behavior for some setups.
Reboot your computer and run the program again. To confirm the result, compare your system info before and after running it — a hardware-checking tool works well for this. If nothing changes after several attempts, contact support.
SMG Dune: Awakening CheatCompatibility & system
The cheat won't launch or shows an error — is my Windows version supported?
The software doesn't support every Windows version and build — the newest system updates in particular may not be supported yet, in which case the launch fails or the system blocks the driver as "unsafe".
- Check your exact version and build number in Windows Settings (System → About) and compare it with the list of supported versions on the product page.
- If your build is newer than the ones listed, or it's a non-standard/stripped-down Windows edition, stable operation isn't guaranteed — installing one of the supported official versions usually resolves it.
- Before purchasing, ask support which Windows version is required for the specific product — they can also tell you whether an update for your build is planned.
The program stopped working after a Windows update — what should I do?
Most software is built for specific Windows builds, and an automatic system update can make your system incompatible with the program's protection.
- After any major system update, compare your build with the supported Windows versions listed on the product page.
- If your build isn't supported, you'll need to roll back the update or reinstall Windows on a supported build.
- Ask support for the exact list of supported builds and advice for your specific case.
General troubleshooting
Universal fixes that apply to most products.
The cheat loader won't launch or closes right after starting
Most often the loader is blocked by antivirus software or Windows' built-in protection features. Try these steps in order:
- Run the loader as administrator.
- Add the loader's folder to your antivirus and Windows Defender exclusions.
- Temporarily disable overlays from third-party apps (Discord, GeForce Experience, and similar).
- Reboot your computer and launch the loader again.
If it still won't start or closes on its own, contact support — sometimes the cause is a specific Windows protection setting that needs to be adjusted individually for your system.
The store website sometimes won't load — what could be causing this?
In most cases the site becomes unreachable because your internet provider is blocking the connection, not because of an issue on our end. Try the following:
- Turn on a VPN and check if the site loads;
- Switch your DNS server to a public one, such as Quad9 (9.9.9.9) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1);
- Check the site's availability from another region using a third-party checker tool.
If it still won't load after that, contact support and we'll share the current working address.
The cheat says the version doesn't match after a game update — what should I do?
This message means the game developer released a new update and the cheat has not been adapted for it yet, so the loader reports a version mismatch.
- Wait for the cheat developer to release an update — this usually takes anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days.
- Check with support for the current update status.
- If the wait eats into your paid subscription time, ask support to add compensation time to your subscription.
Cheat won't launch , how do I check if my system is set up correctly?
Download the Sordum utility (available from technical support; archive password: sordum), run it, click Search, and send a screenshot of the results to support. This is the standard first diagnostic step , without this screenshot, support cannot accurately identify the cause of your issue.
The cheat loader gets blocked by the system or antivirus on launch — what should I do?
This is usually caused by Windows' built-in driver protection (blocking "vulnerable" drivers) or by third-party antivirus and overlays interfering with the loader.
- Add the loader folder to your antivirus exclusions.
- Disable third-party overlays (Discord, GeForce Experience, and similar) that may conflict with the loader.
- Contact support — they can provide a compatibility-check utility and help you get the loader running.
We don't recommend manually changing Windows' protection settings yourself — it can damage your system.
System checker shows errors , what exactly needs to be enabled or disabled
For most cheats to work correctly, your system must meet these requirements:
- Windows Defender real-time protection , disabled
- Core Isolation / Memory Integrity (HVCI) , disabled
- User Account Control (UAC) , disabled
- TPM , disabled in BIOS
- Third-party antivirus (Kaspersky etc.) , fully uninstalled
Run the system checker tool, take a screenshot of the results, and send it to support , operators will identify which setting is blocking the launch.
Antivirus (Kaspersky, Defender) blocks or deletes cheat files
Fully uninstall any third-party antivirus using the manufacturer's own uninstaller , disabling it is not enough. After removal, clean registry remnants with CCleaner. Disable Windows Defender via Security settings: Real-time protection → Off.
If the file is flagged as a virus during download , try downloading from a different browser or via the store's Telegram bot.
Software launches but crashes or causes PC reboot with no error message
Check the following in order:
- Make sure any antivirus (including Kaspersky) is fully uninstalled, not just disabled.
- Install all current Visual C++ Redistributable runtimes: download the all-in-one pack from TechPowerUp and run the bat file as administrator.
- Repair Windows system files: open CMD as administrator and run sfc /scannow, then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, then reboot.
- If nothing helps , reinstall Windows.
After a reset or reinstall, the program shows an HWID error — what should I do?
This error means the license key's hardware binding (HWID) has changed — for example, after reinstalling Windows or resetting a spoofer.
- Contact support and provide your license key;
- A support agent will reset the HWID binding on your key;
- After the reset, launch the program again and check that it works.
Keep in mind that the number of free HWID resets may be limited.
TPM is enabled , spoofer or cheat fails to inject, shows TPM error
Enter BIOS and disable TPM (on Gigabyte boards this is labeled as «Disabled» / «Forbidden»). Also make sure Secure Boot is off. Save settings (F10) and reboot.
If Windows asks you to create a new PIN or password after disabling TPM , skip it or remove the Windows login password: this is related to BitLocker, not the cheat.
I paid but nothing arrived — what should I do?
Your purchase does not get emailed to you — access to it appears in your account on the site. If you do not have an account yet, register one, then find the item you bought in your account and activate the key there.
If the purchase still is not showing up in your account a few minutes after payment, contact support and include the payment code so the team can check it faster.
Cheat menu won't open , pressing the hotkey does nothing
Try all standard menu hotkeys one by one: Insert, Home, F2, Right Shift, End. The exact key depends on the product and is listed in its instructions.
Also make sure the game is running in windowed or borderless window mode , the menu typically does not open in true fullscreen.
My payment isn't confirming and the money's already been taken — what should I do?
If you paid via a P2P transfer, confirmation from the payment system can take longer than usual — sometimes up to a few hours.
- The money has already been taken — just wait for the payment system to confirm it;
- Don't try to pay again while you're still within a reasonable waiting window;
- If the payment still hasn't confirmed after a long wait, contact store support with your payment details.
Core Isolation (HVCI / Memory Integrity) prevents the cheat from launching
Disable Core Isolation / Memory Integrity: Windows Security → Device Security → Core Isolation → Memory Integrity → Off. Reboot. If the toggle is greyed out, disable it via the registry or reinstall Windows.
Downloading file from the site , network error, speed drops to 0, download fails
This is typically caused by ISP-level blocks. Enable a VPN and retry the download. If the file is hosted on MEGA , install the MEGA browser extension: without it, large files will not download completely. Alternatively, download the loader via the store's Telegram bot.
Cheat worked yesterday, stopped working today , won't launch or inject
Most likely a game or anti-cheat update was released and the cheat developer has not yet published a patch. Check the latest product news in the support Telegram channel. If there is no update announcement , contact support: the operator will check the status with the developer. Subscription time is compensated in such cases.
I downloaded the file but can't find the application inside it — what should I do?
The file you downloaded via the link in the instructions is an archive, not a ready-made application.
- Install an archiver such as WinRAR or 7-Zip if you don't already have one;
- Extract the downloaded archive;
- Inside the extracted folder you'll find the loader — run that file.
After I launch the game with the cheat running I get a blue or black screen and the PC reboots — what should I do?
This is usually caused by corrupted Windows system files or the game's display mode.
- Ask support for a guide on checking and repairing Windows system files.
- Launch the game in windowed mode instead of borderless — this often resolves the issue.
- If it happens again, try launching a few more times: the game frequently starts fine after a couple of retries.
I enter the key and get 'invalid code' or the key is not accepted
Make sure you copy the key in full , extra or missing characters (even leading/trailing spaces) will cause an error. Verify you are entering the key into the correct loader that it was purchased for. If the key is definitely correct, reboot your PC and try again , this sometimes resolves the issue.
After reinstalling Windows the loader won't launch , what to do
Make sure all required dependencies are installed: download and install Visual C++ Redistributable (all-in-one pack), .NET Runtime, and DirectX. Re-download the loader fresh , from the Telegram bot or MEGA. If it still does not launch, contact support: include your Windows version, CPU model, and a screenshot of the error.
How can I check if a product supports my Windows version before buying it?
Open Windows Settings → System → About and check your OS version and build number.
Compare it with the list of supported Windows versions on the product page — not every product works on every Windows version. If your version isn't supported, the program may fail to launch or not respond to hotkeys at all.
Please check compatibility before purchasing: unfortunately, we cannot exchange or refund a product that turns out to be incompatible with your Windows version.
The loader shows a "Failure connect" error when I try to activate my key — what should I do?
This error usually means your provider is blocking the connection.
- Turn on a VPN and try activating again.
- If the same error appears with that VPN, try a different server or region.
- If it still doesn't work, contact support — a network-side fix may be needed.
Will a built-in spoofer help if my account already has a hardware ban?
Yes. A cheat's built-in spoofer changes your device's hardware identifiers, so it usually clears a hardware ban (HWID ban) issued by the game's anti-cheat.
After enabling the spoofer, launch the cheat as usual — the game should detect the computer as a new device.
Game won't start with virtualization enabled, but the cheat requires it
Some anti-cheats (e.g. Vanguard in Valorant) conflict with certain virtualization settings. If the game requires virtualization off while the cheat requires it on, try using a spoofer , it includes a bypass that resolves this conflict without changing BIOS settings.
The program's menu is offset and clicks land in the wrong place — how do I fix it?
This is usually caused by a non-standard Windows display scaling setting, which offsets the program's interface.
- Open Windows display settings;
- Set scaling to 100%;
- Restart the program and check that clicks now line up with the cursor.
I bought the cheat from a third-party seller instead of directly on your site — who should I contact about a problem?
If the purchase wasn't made through our site but through a third-party seller or reseller, only that seller has your order details. As the software and payment provider, we can't help with your key, access, or order without that information.
Describe the situation in the chat with the seller you bought from — they can reach out to us about your order directly.
My browser or antivirus blocks the download and flags the file as a virus
Antivirus software and browsers often flag cheat loaders as a threat - this is a false positive.
Add the loader's folder and the file itself to your antivirus and Windows Defender exclusions, and allow the download in your browser if it's being blocked. If the issue persists, temporarily disable real-time protection while downloading and launching for the first time, then turn it back on.
Payment methods in my region don't work, what else can I use?
The site supports more than 20 different payment systems, so if your usual payment method isn't available in your region, there is usually an alternative.
If local payment options don't go through, you can pay with cryptocurrency, which works from any country.
My internet or Wi-Fi disconnects after enabling a spoofer
Sometimes network connectivity drops after a spoofer is activated. If that happens, open Device Manager, find your network adapter (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), disable it, then re-enable it - the connection should come back.
If it happens repeatedly, try restarting your computer after turning the spoofer off.
I can't register on the site, what should I do?
Sometimes registration fails because access to the site is restricted in your region.
Try connecting through a VPN and registering again — this usually resolves the issue.
I'm using a VPN with the software and lost voice chat — I keep getting routed to a different server region
This happens because the VPN connects you through a server in another country, so the game automatically detects a different region.
To stay on your usual region and keep voice chat working, pick a server located in your own country (the RU region) in your VPN settings instead of the default nearest one.
Can the game developer detect that I'm running a radar on my phone?
No — a separate device used for the radar isn't physically connected to the game and doesn't interact with its process on your computer, so it can't be detected by anti-cheat or the developer.
