Installing game cheats can seem intimidating for first-time users. Between disabling antivirus, running loaders, and configuring settings, there's a lot that can go wrong. But with proper guidance, the process is straightforward.
This comprehensive guide walks you through every step of installing game cheats - from preparing your system to getting in-game with all features working. We'll cover common issues and how to fix them.
At MixCheats, we've designed our products to be as easy to use as possible. Here's everything you need to know to get started.
Before You Begin: System Preparation
Proper preparation prevents most installation problems:
Essential Requirements:
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit required)
- Administrator access to your PC
- Stable internet connection
- The game installed and working normally
Disable Windows Defender:
- Open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection
- Click "Manage settings" under Virus & threat protection settings
- Turn OFF Real-time protection
- Turn OFF Cloud-delivered protection
- Turn OFF Automatic sample submission
Why Disable Antivirus?
- Cheats use techniques similar to malware (not malicious)
- Memory injection triggers virus detection
- False positives cause quarantine/deletion
- MixCheats is 100% safe - we just need AV disabled to work
Add Exclusion Folder:
- Create dedicated folder (e.g., C:\Cheats)
- Add to Windows Defender exclusions
- In Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings
- Scroll to Exclusions → Add folder exclusion
Downloading and Extracting Files
Proper download and extraction is crucial:
Getting Your Files:
- Purchase from MixCheats official website
- Download link sent to your email
- Download to your exclusion folder
- Files usually come in .zip or .rar archive
Extracting Files:
- Right-click archive → Extract here
- Or use WinRAR/7-Zip
- Extract to exclusion folder location
- Don't run from inside the archive
Typical File Contents:
- Loader.exe: Main program that launches cheat
- Config files: Settings and configurations
- Readme.txt: Instructions specific to product
- Driver files: For kernel-level cheats
Important Notes:
- Don't rename any files
- Keep all files in same folder
- Don't move files after extraction
- Don't run from Desktop (use dedicated folder)
Running the Loader
The loader is your gateway to the cheat:
