General
If the loader fails to start or connect:
- Disable any Anti-Virus or add the loader to exceptions.
- Allow outgoing and incoming connections in your firewall.
- Run as administrator to ensure proper permissions.
- Uninstall any Windows modification software such as Back2Start, StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher, or similar tools — these can interfere with the loader.
CS2
Ensure your game is in Borderless Fullscreen. Fullscreen prevents overlays from displaying properly.
Set your monitor to your stretched resolution before launching CS2. The overlay automatically scales with your aspect ratio.
Make sure no external anti-cheat systems (e.g., Vanguard or Faceit AC) are running. These can block memory access.
Disable the following Windows options:
- Optimizations for windowed games
- Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling
- Variable refresh rate
- Game Mode
In CS2 settings, disable:
- FSR
- Anti-Aliasing
Also enable VSync in-game — this can significantly reduce overlay rendering issues.
If you're getting this error:
- Remove any Anti-Virus or Anti-Cheat software.
- Apply the registry fix below, then restart your PC.
