This guide is split into clear, step-by-step sections for a smooth, successful setup.
Follow every step carefully. Skipping a step is the most common cause of setup failures.
To stay as safe as possible, rely mostly on ESP and only use the more obvious features here and there.

​
1. Getting Started

​
Disable Windows Defender

Antivirus often flags game cheats as suspicious because they inject code into the game to enable features like aimbot or ESP. This is normal for all cheat software — it is not a sign that Bypass Cheats is unsafe.
The standard, most reliable way to fully disable Windows Defender is with DControl (Defender Control). Do this first, then apply the extra Windows Security toggles below.
1

Install WinRAR

Download and install WinRAR. You need it to extract the DControl archive.
2

Download DControl

Download DControl (Defender Control).
3

Extract the archive

Right-click the downloaded .rar and extract it. When asked for a password, enter sordum.
4

Disable Windows Defender

Open dControl.exe and click Disable Windows Defender. The window turns red when Defender is off.

DControl turns off real-time Defender, but a few Windows Security options are separate. Turn these off too:
1

Turn off Exploit protection

Open Windows Security → App & browser control → Exploit protection settings and set every option to Off by default.
Exploit protection set to off by default
2

Turn off Reputation-based protection

Go to App & browser control → Reputation-based protection settings and turn off all options.
Reputation-based protection turned off
3

Turn off Memory integrity

Go to Device security → Core isolation and turn off Memory integrity. A restart may be required.

If DControl isn’t an option for you, you can instead turn off everything under Virus & threat protection → Manage settings manually — but DControl is the recommended standard setup.

​
Required files

Install both of these before continuing — they are mandatory dependencies:

​
2. Set up the overlay

The external build renders through the SteelSeries overlay, so it must be installed and running before you inject. Download SteelSeries GG, then launch it once so it runs in the background.

​
3. Download the loader

Download the loader from your client area, then run it as administrator. Download your loader here
Your license key is in your client area or order email — enter it in the loader on first launch.

​
4. Inject & launch

1

Set up BIOS (one-time)

Enter BIOS, disable Secure Boot, and set BIOS mode to UEFI. Save and reboot.
2

Run the loader

Run the loader as administrator, then log in or register with your license key.
Loader login / register
3

Inject

Press Inject. If the loader says “Please launch SteelSeriesGG”, run SteelSeries, then continue.

4

Open Rust

When the loader tells you to open the game, launch Rust and start dominating.
Default menu keybind: Insert / INS

​
Common errors

Most issues are fixed with basic troubleshooting: restart your PC, re-download the loader, and try again. Try these before contacting support.
Disable any VPN/proxy during launch, allow the loader through your firewall, and run it as administrator. Re-download the loader if it persists.
Fully disable Defender (use DControl), turn off Memory integrity, and confirm Secure Boot is off / UEFI mode is set. Restart, then run the loader as admin.
An anti-cheat or antivirus is still active. Re-check every step in Disable Windows Defender, uninstall third-party AV, restart, and try again.
Make sure DirectX and the Visual C++ redistributable are installed, run the loader as administrator, and re-download it if the code persists.
Cap your in-game FPS, close heavy background apps, and make sure SteelSeries GG is running. Lowering ESP draw distance also helps.
Reinstall SteelSeries GG, run it as administrator, and launch it before the loader. Make sure it’s fully started before you inject.
