Problems & fixes, SMG SQUAD
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 download link from the instructions doesn't open, what should I do?
If the link does not open, connect via VPN. Once the VPN is active, the link should work. The archive password is provided in the instructions.
SMG SQUADThe cheat loads but I get kicked from the Squad server right away , why?
Most likely the account has prior bans or a server-specific ban that escalated globally. Try the following:
- If the account has multiple bans , create a new account.
- If a single-server ban went global , contact each server's admins via their Discord to request a ban lift.
The cheat itself functions correctly in this scenario.
SMG SQUADFeatures & setup
In fly/noclip mode grenades and launchers pass through enemies , how to fix?
This is a technical limitation of the fly/ghost mode: while active, your character's body stays in place, causing projectiles to behave unpredictably. There is no workaround , this is an inherent constraint of how the feature is implemented.

SMG SQUADGeneral troubleshooting
Universal fixes that apply to most products.
Cheat won't launch , how do I check if my system is set up correctly?
Download the Sordum utility (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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
