### hwid error and hwid error after using a hardware anonymizer/spoofer

The PC's HWID has reset. The user must request a reset via a support ticket. Please note the HWID reset guidelines below.

Some hardware anonymizers/spoofers will break the PC's HWID. Our anonymizer can preserve or avoid changing the PC's HWID.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Always use a recommended spoofer. [At this time, we only recommend our spoofer.](https://dexa.im/products/hardware-spoofer) We do not provide support or complimentary resets for third-party spoofers.
{% endhint %}

If your anonymizer does not have this feature, you will break the PC's HWID.

#### HWID reset guidelines

{% hint style="danger" %}
To prevent abuse, users are permitted **one (1) request per active 7-day** license key and **two (2) requests per active 30-day** license key. If you need more resets, [please purchase them here.](https://dexa.im/products/hwid-reset)

### Loader stuck at fetching module or "slow due to DDoS"

This means the loader is having trouble downloading (fetching) the cheat module. This is typically due to several reasons:

* slow network connection
* the user is too far (high ping) from the loader server
* Windows is out of date
* wrong loader version

You can try the following:

* Install a VPN software such as [NordVPN](https://go.nordvpn.net/SH8k3), select a server in the Netherlands
* [Run Windows Update](ms-settings:windowsupdate-action) and install all the latest updates, rebooting the PC and re-checking for updates each time until no further updates are available
* re-download the loader file from [your order](https://account.dexa.im/orders)

<figure><img src="/files/1h8ppl0klDDBfoeCe7QP" alt=""><figcaption><p>The fetching module screen.</p></figcaption></figure>

[^1]: Drag and drop or right click -> extract

[^2]: for example: AVAST, AVG, McAfee, Malwarebytes, etc.
