Step-by-step install and launch for Phoenix. Disable Windows protection before the first run — it clears most problems.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 (x64)
System requirements
Preparation
Disable Windows protection — that's enough for most systems.
Remove third-party antivirus and anti-cheats Kaspersky, Avast, ESET and the like, plus FaceIT and Riot Vanguard, conflict with the loader. They must be uninstalled, not just paused.
-
Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps (or Control Panel → Programs and Features).
-
Uninstall any third-party antivirus (Kaspersky, Avast, AVG, ESET, 360, Malwarebytes, etc.). Pausing or disabling is not enough — the antivirus driver stays resident.
-
Uninstall the FaceIT AC and Riot Vanguard anti-cheats if present — they block third-party software at the kernel level.
- FaceIT is the CS2 anti-cheat, Vanguard is the Valorant one. If you don't play those games, they are safe to remove.
After removing an antivirus, restart the PC — some of its services only unload after a reboot.
Fully disable Windows Defender The #1 cause of "it won't launch". Disable it for real: manually first, then remove it from startup, reboot, and finish it off with Defender Control.
-
Step 1. Turn protection off by hand. Open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings and switch every toggle off:
- Real-time protection — Off.
- Cloud-delivered protection — Off.
- Automatic sample submission — Off.
- Tamper Protection — Off. Turn this one off first, otherwise the others switch themselves back on.
-
Step 2. Disable reputation-based protection. In Windows Security → App & browser control → Reputation-based protection → Settings, turn everything off (SmartScreen, potentially-unwanted-app blocking).
-
Step 3. Remove Defender from startup. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) → Startup apps tab, find Windows Security notification icon and click Disable.
-
Step 4. Restart your computer. This is mandatory — some Defender services only unload after a reboot.
-
Step 5. Finish with Defender Control. Download Defender Control (archive password: r1xon), run it as administrator and click Disable Windows Defender — the tile turns red.
- If your antivirus deletes the utility itself, protection is still active — go back to step 1. The file ships zipped on purpose so Defender can't wipe it before it's disabled.
Don't skip steps 3–4. "I turned the toggles off but it didn't help" almost always means Defender came back after restart because it was left in startup.
-
After completing all steps, restart the system
Launch
-
You need to go to the game folder and go to the following folder (example path for Steam, similar for other launchers):
`D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ABInfinite\ABInfinite\Binaries\Win64` -
In this folder you need to create a text file `guid.txt` (a text file called guid) and insert someone else's ABI account ID there. You can easily get someone else's ID in the game in the profile of another player, through chat or the leaderboard. This step must be completed for the software and the built-in spoofer to work correctly
-
If you are using a third-party HWID Spoofer, spoof only after opening the cheat loader!
-
Download the loader — download from MEGA (if it doesn't download, use a VPN)
Spare link (Yandex) — download from Yandex Disk -
Run the loader as administrator
-
Insert your key and click "Continue"
-
Click "Launch"
-
A window for selecting a bypass method will open:
- First method: is proven and stable, with it your account will not be banned
- Second method: is at the testing stage With it you will not receive signs for 24 hours, but there is no guarantee that your account will not be banned. And also on some systems crashes may occur with this method
-
Enter 1 or 2, press Enter and a message will appear
"Waiting game..." -
Launch the game, the injection will happen automatically. A cheat menu will appear in the main menu of the game
-
By default the menu opens to Insert (on a laptop FN + Insert)
Problems & fixes
More launch tips
• In the window that opens, disable all options
• If you have the wrong time set on your computer, then you need to synchronize the time in Windows. Open the Settings app using the Windows key + I shortcut or through the Start menu. Go to the "Time and Language" category. And in the "Clock Sync" section, click "Sync"
• If the ESP in the game is not displayed correctly, then you need to set the screen scale to 100% in the display settings, and also set the same screen resolution in the game settings
• Sometimes the software may not start due to problems connecting to servers, in which case you need to try running the loader with VPN enabled
• Also, if you have problems with cheat injection or other problems during the game (ESP lags, etc.), then try switching the screen mode to "Full Screen in a Window (Frameless / Windowed)" in the game settings
Advanced setup — only if it still won’t launch
Use a VPN for download and activation CIS ISPs often block the activation servers. A VPN is needed while downloading the loader, activating the key and injecting — you can turn it off before joining a match.
-
Use a full VPN (an app that routes all traffic), not a browser proxy, VLESS or extension — half the support tickets come from exactly this.
-
Turn the VPN on before downloading the loader and activating the key. If something won't load, switch country (Europe or the US usually work).
-
After a successful inject you can turn the VPN off before the match to avoid extra ping.
A VPN fixes most endless-loading and "key won't activate" problems.
Update Visual C++ and DirectX Up-to-date runtimes keep the loader and overlay from crashing at start.
-
Install Visual C++ Redistributable x64 and restart the PC.
-
Update DirectX if you haven't in a while.
FAQ
Where do I get the key after payment?
The key arrives instantly after payment — it appears on the order page and lands in your email, and if Telegram is linked to your account, our bot sends a copy too. This guide opens from there as well.
Which key opens the menu?
The menu opens on Insert (on a laptop — FN + Insert). You can rebind it inside the cheat menu.
Still stuck?
Run R1XON Checker first — it pinpoints most launch problems in 30 seconds. If it still fails, attach the checker report to your support ticket and we’ll sort it out fast.
