Desync
Desync EFT: Setup and Launch Guide
This page walks through everything needed to get Desync running with Escape from Tarkov: preparing the system before the first start, the first-time launch, the regular launch sequence, and what to do if your hardware gets banned. Follow the sections in the order they appear.
Read this first
- READING THIS INSTRUCTION IS MANDATORY! If you do not follow it, support may be denied.
- Uninstalling the antivirus, disabling protection and removing anti-cheats is mandatory.
- Launching the cheat from a USB stick is recommended. As soon as the cheat is launched — before you enter the game — pull the USB stick out.
- The BAT file covers only part of the preparation; the rest of the guide must still be completed manually.
- Do not enable "Use previous configuration" if you were banned: it brings back the old hardware data.
Pre-launch Setup: automatic setup via BAT file
A BAT file is included to shorten the preparation. Running it automates part of the configuration and lets you skip steps 4–5 of the "Pre-launch Setup" section.
- Download the BAT file.
- Put it in a convenient location — not on the desktop.
- Run it as Administrator.
- Wait until the script finishes, then restart the PC.
The BAT file does not replace the whole guide — the remaining steps still have to be done by hand.
Manual Setup
- Download the loader archive. Password: 123
- Rename the archive and place it in a convenient location — not on the desktop.
- Install the required libraries and frameworks: RuntimePack, DirectX, Microsoft Visual C++.
- Uninstall your antivirus, switch off protection and remove anti-cheats — this step is mandatory. Removing or disabling virtual machines and sandboxes is optional. Also turn off virtualization in BIOS and run: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off. Then restart the PC.
- Optionally adjust BIOS and Windows settings: enable ASLR, disable Secure Boot, enable UEFI if Legacy BIOS is in use.
- Move the Start menu to the bottom, as it is by default.
- Restart the PC once every step above is done.
First-time launch only
- Run the cheat.
- Wait for the PC to restart on its own.
- Continue from step (2) of the main launch instructions.
Main Launch
- Restart the PC.
- Check that the loader is fully closed.
- Use a spoofer — your own or the built-in one.
- Start the cheat loader.
- Pick EscapeFromTarkov.
- Press "Launch Cheat"; the loader closes by itself.
- Open the game launcher and log in.
- If a spoofer was used, be ready to enter a verification code.
- Enter the game.
- Once in the lobby, press F2 to inject.
- Press Home or Insert to open the menu.
What to do if you receive a HWID ban
- Choose Escape from Tarkov in the loader.
- Tick "Enable spoofer" — it stays active until the next reboot.
- Tick "Clear traces".
- Log in with a new account.
- Play.
Extra tips: browse related sites in incognito mode with a VPN instead of your main browser; do not open the game loader before traces are cleared and the spoofer is on; "Use previous configuration" restores the old hardware data, so leave it off after a ban.
