Arcane COD setup guide for Warzone and Black Ops 7

Before you activate the key

1. 01 Confirm that you are using a desktop PC. Arcane COD does not support laptops.
2. 02 Install Visual C++ Redistributable: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
3. 03 Go through this guide in full before touching the loader.
4. 04 Reboot the PC before the first launch — this step is mandatory.
5. 05 Turn off Intel Rapid Storage Technology in BIOS.
6. 06 Got a blue screen (BSOD) while the software was running? Submit the BSOD report form — the link lives in the support chat.
7. 07 Account banned? Submit the ban report form — that link is also in the support chat.

Two more Arcane manuals exist for other titles: one covering ARC Raiders, Rust, Apex Legends and Hunt: Showdown, and one for the remaining products with the Nvidia + AMD overlay.

Software that has to go

The loader will not work while any of the following is present on the system.

1. 08 Uninstall your antivirus.
2. 09 Switch off SmartScreen.
3. 10 Switch off Windows Defender.
4. 11 Uninstall FaceIt (the CS:GO anti-cheat) and Vanguard (the Valorant anti-cheat).

Overlay setup — Nvidia graphics card

1. 12 Install NVIDIA App.
2. 13 Log in to your account.
3. 14 Update the GPU driver to the newest version.
4. 15 Switch Nvidia Overlay on.

Overlay setup — AMD or any other GPU

1. 16 Grab SteelSeries GG from https://steelseries.com/gg
2. 17 Open the SteelSeries settings tab and follow Settings → Moments → Capture and Sound, then turn off Allow Moments to capture while gaming — without this the Sonar overlay stays dead.
3. 18 Open Overlay and Notifications and turn off Display game overlays.
4. 19 Switch Sonar on in General Settings.
5. 20 Open SONAR and bind a hotkey for the Sonar overlay — Master Volume Up works fine as an example. That key has to be pressed every time before you start the loader.
6. 21 Watch the video walkthrough if anything is unclear: https://kinescope.io/wCZx74uXUjt8gnvK4wRmxh
7. 22 Install Visual C++ Redistributable if you skipped it earlier: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Launching the cheat

1. 23 Download the Loader from https://storage.e-arcane.com/LoaderArcane.zip — or use Mirror 1 https://mega.nz/folder/SFEijIYB#ItpPdnVINK3H-rQXK6DJjw or Mirror 2 https://disk.yandex.ru/d/68JncC0ROmFEzA — and unpack it into its own folder.
2. 24 Start the file as Administrator.
3. 25 Let the loader finish updating itself, then start it once more.
4. 26 Type in your key and hit Enter. Pasting inside the CMD window of the loader is done with the right mouse button.
5. 27 Answer Yes if you want traces of earlier bans wiped.
6. 28 Answer Yes if you need the HWID spoofer.
7. 29 Once loading succeeds, the loader shuts itself down.
8. 30 Start the game.
9. 31 The menu shows up on its own.

Hotkeys

1. 32 Home or Insert — show or hide the menu. In PUBG the menu is only drawn once you are inside a match, and navigation there goes through the arrow keys.
2. 33 END — unload the software.

Errors and what to do about them

Find your message in the list below and follow the matching fix.

1. 34 "Please make sure PIN is not set" or a Hyper-V error — see the separate walkthrough on fixing the PIN and Hyper-V error. Short version: strip the Windows sign-in PIN completely via Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options and reboot; then switch CPU virtualization off in BIOS for the moment (Intel VT-x / AMD SVM Mode), save and reboot; open PowerShell as Administrator and feed it the block of commands below — all six lines can go in at once. Afterwards turn virtualization back on in BIOS, save and reboot again.
2. 35 The command block: takeown /F "C:\Windows\System32\hvix64.exe" — then icacls "C:\Windows\System32\hvix64.exe" /grant *$(([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).User.Value):F — then takeown /F "C:\Windows\System32\hvax64.exe" — then icacls "C:\Windows\System32\hvax64.exe" /grant *$(([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).User.Value):F — then del "C:\Windows\System32\hvix64.exe" — and finally del "C:\Windows\System32\hvax64.exe"
3. 36 "Failed to map memory" — with under 12 GB of RAM the software will not run, so ask the seller about a refund. Otherwise switch off every startup program and reboot. Still failing? Take AutoRuns from https://download.sysinternals.com/files/Autoruns.zip and clear out everything listed under CurrentVersion\Run.
4. 37 The loader closes silently, no message at all — install Visual C++ Redistributable: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
5. 38 The menu is drawn but does not react — start the overlay (NVIDIA App or SteelSeries GG) as Administrator, following the preparation section above.
6. 39 "Make sure all antiviruses are disabled" on Windows 10 — remove every third-party antivirus, turn real-time protection off and turn SmartScreen off.
7. 40 "Make sure all antiviruses are disabled" on Windows 11 — download both files from https://disk.yandex.ru/d/5slbv4S2AL1M0w, run Turn_ON, agree to the registry changes and reboot; then run Turn_OFF, agree again and reboot once more. Check afterwards that the antivirus is gone and real-time protection is off.
8. 41 Any other loader error — screenshot the message and post it in the support chat in the bottom-right corner of the site. Install Anydesk and pass it to support as well.
9. 42 Menu visible but clicks do nothing — start Steam without Administrator rights and shut down every third-party overlay, leaving only the Nvidia or AMD one depending on your card.
10. 43 Menu vanishes or the visual features stop working — if the game just got patched, hold off until the product is updated. Otherwise verify the game files or reinstall the game. If neither helps, write to support.
11. 44 Menu ignores clicks or refuses to open the first time — on Steam, start the client without Administrator privileges; on EA App, turn the EA App overlay off in the client settings.
12. 45 "AES instruction set is not supported" — your processor lacks the AES instruction set and nothing can be done about it. Contact support about a refund.
13. 46 "Please enable Intel VT-X in the BIOS" — go into BIOS, locate Intel Virtualization Technology / Intel VT-X and switch it on.
14. 47 "Please enable AMD-V in BIOS" — go into BIOS, locate AMD-V / SVM Mode and switch it on.
15. 48 "Please disable secure boot in the BIOS" — go into BIOS and switch Secure Boot off.
16. 49 "Unsupported firmware" — the OS disk has to be in GPT format. Convert it with the built-in mbr2gpt utility or any disk management tool.
17. 50 "Secure boot keys are incorrect" — in BIOS, switch Secure Boot on and save. Back in Windows, run Confirm-SecureBootUEFI in PowerShell. A result of True means you can reboot, return to BIOS and switch Secure Boot off again.
18. 51 "VMX/SVM is not supported" — open Control Panel → Programs → Turn Windows features on or off and uncheck Virtual Machine Platform and Hyper-V. If that changes nothing, run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off in CMD as Administrator and restart.
19. 52 "Incorrect hwid" — in CMD as Administrator run wmic diskdrive get Caption, SerialNumber and then wmic baseboard get SerialNumber. If both go through without complaint, the problem is on the PC side; a Windows reinstall is the suggested route.
20. 53 Anything else — reach out to support on the website.
