### 3. Setting up the Loader

* Download the loader file from [your order](https://account.dexa.im/orders)
* Run `loader.exe`&#x20;
* Input your `license key` from your order -> press `ENTER`
* Launch the game
* At the main menu, `ALT+TAB` back to the loader, select `FateTrigger` on the loader -> press `ENTER`
  * after a few seconds, the loader will inject and display green text indicating a sucessful injection

{% hint style="info" %}
If you press `ENTER` on `FateTrigger` and the cursor hops down a line but nothing happens, press `ENTER` again until you see the `Selected: FateTrigger` text. Sometimes the loader doesn't fully accept your prompt on the first input.

* Enter a match
* An FOV circle should appear in-game.
  * if the black CLI[^3] window does not close, you can just `ALT+TAB` into the game or click into the game. Do not close the window as it will un-inject the cheat.

{% hint style="info" %}
SHARD does not have a menu. See [using-the-menu](https://docs.dexa.im/non-dma-products/fate-trigger/shard/using-the-menu "mention")
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Fate Trigger has new, custom anti-cheat not used in any other game. This anti-cheat also utilizes AI analysis of gameplay. As such, we are in an experimental phase of this cheat. Use extreme caution when playing. Use higher smoothing values, do not track players through objects/walls/etc.

{% hint style="success" %}
Setup complete!
