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

DRV-001 Critical

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+RregeditHKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Config → set VulnerableDriverBlocklistEnable to 0 → reboot.
  • Remove other cheat/spoofer drivers or kernel tools — they conflict with Reaper.
DRV-002 Critical

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.
DRV-003 Common

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

LDR-001 Common

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.
LDR-002 Common

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.
LDR-003 Info

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)

BSOD-001 Critical

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.
BSOD-002 Common

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

KEY-001 Common

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).
KEY-002 Common

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-003 Info

Key expired / subscription ended

Your license time has run out.

Injection Errors

INJ-001 Critical

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.
INJ-002 Common

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

WIN-001 Critical

Windows protected your PC / SmartScreen

SmartScreen blocked the loader from running.

  • Click More infoRun anyway if you trust the download source.
  • Add the loader folder to Defender exclusions after disabling real-time protection.
WIN-002 Critical

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.
WIN-003 Common

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.
