Error Codes
Common Reaper loader errors and how to fix them. Complete System Setup first — most errors come from skipped setup steps.
Before you troubleshoot
Run through setup in order: Secure Boot ON, Windows Defender fully disabled, Memory Integrity OFF, Exploit Protection mitigations OFF. Run the loader as Administrator from a normal folder (not Desktop or Downloads).
Driver Errors
Driver failed to load
The Reaper driver could not be mapped or started. Usually caused by Windows security blocking unsigned or mapped drivers.
- Complete System Setup — disable Defender, Memory Integrity, and Exploit Protection.
- Confirm Secure Boot is ON in
msinfo32. - Run the loader as Administrator.
- Disable Vulnerable Driver Blocklist: Win+R →
regedit→HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Config→ setVulnerableDriverBlocklistEnableto0→ reboot. - Remove other cheat/spoofer drivers or kernel tools — they conflict with Reaper.
Driver already loaded / conflict
Another driver session is still active or a previous load did not clean up.
- Restart your PC fully (not Fast Startup — disable Fast Startup in Power Options).
- Close all other loaders, spoofers, and kernel tools.
- Run only one Reaper product loader at a time.
Access denied / elevation required
The loader does not have permission to load the driver.
- Right-click the loader → Run as administrator.
- Make sure you are on an Administrator Windows account.
- Move the loader out of protected folders (Desktop, Downloads, OneDrive).
Loader Errors
Loader closes instantly / nothing happens
The loader exits before you can enter a key or inject.
- Windows Defender or another AV quarantined the file — check Protection History and add an exclusion.
- Re-download the loader from Download after setup is complete.
- Install Visual C++ Redistributable (x64).
- Run as Administrator from
C:\Reaper\or similar simple path.
Failed to connect / network error
The loader cannot reach the auth server to validate your key.
- Check your internet connection and disable VPN/proxy temporarily.
- Allow the loader through Windows Firewall when prompted.
- Sync system clock — incorrect date/time breaks SSL.
- Retry in a few minutes if the auth service is under maintenance.
Game not found / open game first
The loader cannot detect the game process.
- Open the game and reach the main menu / character screen before injecting.
- Make sure you launched the correct game build (Steam, Battle.net, etc.).
- For MW2/DMZ use WebLoader_MW2.exe if you have an All Access key.
Blue Screens (BSOD)
Blue screen after inject / on load
Windows crashed to a blue screen during driver load or injection. Note the stop code if shown (e.g. SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA).
- Complete full System Setup — incomplete setup is the #1 BSOD cause.
- Turn OFF Memory Integrity (Core Isolation) and reboot.
- Remove FaceIT AC, Vanguard (if not needed), and other kernel anti-cheats.
- Uninstall third-party spoofers or old cheat drivers — reboot between each removal.
- Update motherboard BIOS and chipset drivers to latest stable version.
- If BSOD persists, open a Discord ticket with your stop code and Windows build number.
Random reboot / freeze (no blue screen)
PC freezes or reboots without a clear error — often driver conflict or unstable overclocks.
- Reset CPU/GPU/RAM overclocks to stock and test again.
- Disable XMP/EXPO temporarily to rule out RAM instability.
- Clean boot: disable startup apps and non-Microsoft services, then retry.
Key & HWID Errors
Invalid key / key not found
Your license key was rejected by the auth server.
- Copy-paste the key from your purchase email — no extra spaces.
- Make sure you are using the key for the correct product (MW2019 vs MW2 vs CS2, etc.).
- All Access / Master Key users: use Webloader.exe (MW2 uses WebLoader_MW2.exe).
HWID mismatch / hardware locked
Your key is locked to a different machine.
- Reset HWID on Key Management if you changed PC or reinstalled Windows.
- Do not spam HWID resets — wait for cooldown if shown.
- After spoofing, make sure you are not mixing Temp and Perm spoofer on the same session.
Key expired / subscription ended
Your license time has run out.
- Check expiration on Key Management.
- Renew on the Store if needed.
Injection Errors
Injection failed
The cheat could not attach to the game process.
- Be on the game main menu — not in a match loading screen.
- Close overlays: MSI Afterburner/Rivatuner, Discord overlay, GeForce overlay (test with overlays off).
- Run game and loader both as Administrator or both as normal — mismatch can fail.
- Verify game files on Steam/Battle.net after a game update.
Menu not showing / Insert does nothing
Injection succeeded but the Reaper menu does not appear.
- Press Insert (default menu key) on the game window focused.
- Run the game in Borderless or Fullscreen Exclusive — not Windowed.
- Disable HDR and use native resolution.
- Re-inject after reaching the main menu if you injected too early.
Windows Security Blocks
Windows protected your PC / SmartScreen
SmartScreen blocked the loader from running.
- Click More info → Run anyway if you trust the download source.
- Add the loader folder to Defender exclusions after disabling real-time protection.
Memory Integrity / HVCI blocking
Core Isolation prevents kernel drivers from loading.
- Settings → Privacy & Security → Windows Security → Device Security → Core isolation → turn Memory integrity OFF.
- Reboot after disabling — the setting does not apply until restart.
Exploit Protection / CFG blocking
Windows mitigations interfere with injection.
- Follow the Exploit Protection section in System Setup — disable all mitigations.
- Add the game and loader as exclusions if per-app toggles remain on.
