# General Installation

Using a new product for the first time can appear to be a challenging task. This guide was written to try and simplify the process of using Space products for first-time users. If you still have questions after reading our installation guide, please [open a support ticket](https://discord.gg/rsK3fNUmCT).

## Requirements

There are a few requirements your computer must meet in order for Space QoL mods to work on your computer.

* All Space QoL mods work on both Intel and AMD CPUs.
* Your computer must be running either Windows 10 or Windows 11 with a Winver (Windows Version) of at least 20H2
  * Here is a list of all Windows 10 winvers: [Windows 10 version history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_version_history)
  * Here is a list of all Windows 11 winvers: [Windows 11 version history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_11_version_history)
  * Here is a guide to check your PC's winver: [How to Check Your Windows Version](https://www.wikihow.com/Check-Your-Windows-Version)
* Space products will not work on custom, modified, or insider versions of Windows.&#x20;

**You must be running an official version of Windows.**

## **Installation Guide:**

**Disabling System Settings:**

Prior to using Space, you need to disable some settings on your computer that may impact Space's performance or functionality. Here is a list of all the features that must be disabled:

* [Real-time protection](https://www.elevenforum.com/t/enable-or-disable-real-time-protection-for-microsoft-defender-antivirus-in-windows-11.3989/) must be disabled *(this setting will be re-enabled after your computer restarts)*&#x20;
  * It is recommended to use [Defender Control](https://www.sordum.org/9480/defender-control-v2-1/) to manage your Real-time protection settings since it will keep it disabled after system restarts.
* [Memory Integrity](https://www.elevenforum.com/t/enable-or-disable-core-isolation-memory-integrity-in-windows-11.4942/) must be disabled *(this setting will stay disabled after your computer restarts)*&#x20;
* [Control Flow Guard](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-on-control-flow-guard-on-your-computer-34838428-2471-4d77-8fd6-b8a8fba507a3) (CFG must be disabled *(this setting will stay disabled after your computer restarts)*&#x20;
* [RIOT Vanguard](https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044648213-Uninstalling-and-Disabling-Riot-Vanguard) must be disabled *(RIOT Vanguard will be re-enabled after your computer restarts)* \
  Secure boot does not need to be disabled for Space to work

&#x20;

**Downloading the Loader:**

After disabling the settings and apps mentioned above, you can download and run the Space loader. To download the Space loader, visit [This Page](https://klar.gg/loader) and wait a few seconds for the loader to automatically download. Depending on your browser, you may experience an error saying that the Space loader is "unsafe" or "dangerous". This is called a **"false positive"** and is triggered because our loader manipulates memory in order to make the cheats work. Here are some guides to download the loader if you experience this issue:

* Guide for Microsoft Edge: [How to bypass Edge SmartScreen Download Filter](https://codecguide.com/smartscreen_bypass.htm)
* Guide for Google Chrome (and Chrome-based browsers): [How to fix the 'Insecure Download Blocked' warning on Chrome](https://allthings.how/how-to-fix-the-insecure-download-blocked-warning-on-chrome/)

After downloading the Space loader, we recommend moving the loader to either your **Desktop** or the **C:\\** drive.

&#x20;

**Using the Space loader:**

To run the loader, right-click on it and press the "Run as administrator" option. This will run the loader with the elevated permissions it needs to run the cheats. Once the loader opens, you will be shown the login form. Please remember that loader accounts are different from forum accounts, so if you have **never used the Space loader before**, you will need to register a new account. To register an account, press the "**SIGN UP**" text below the "LOG IN" button and fill out the requested information.

Once you press the "REGISTER" button, your account will be created and **locked to your current device** using your HWID (Hardware ID).&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Your HWID can change when you reinstall Windows, enable or disable Secure Boot, or switch hardware components.
{% endhint %}

If your HWID changes, you will get a "HWID mismatch" error, and you will need to open a support ticket to **reset your loader account's HWID lock.**

**Redeeming a license key:**

Redeeming license keys in our loader can be done in a few simple steps. Once you are signed in, select the product you want to redeem a key for. Enter your license key in the text box at the bottom right of the loader, then press the "START" button.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
Your license key will begin to expire the moment you press the "START" button.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://116627337-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZSr2WQci8RPh5QDYjrFd%2Fuploads%2FsL7YrdJ2IwM5OTk03NtM%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=35e9035f-cec0-41bc-9421-0bbf01ba8f68" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Close the side window that appeared and re-click on your desired product. The "START" button should now go across the full width of the side window. Click the button to inject.

{% hint style="danger" %}

## VGK.SYS ERROR.

To fix this, simply open your cmd prompt as an Administrator & run:

<pre><code><a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-1">sc</a> <a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-2">stop</a> <a data-footnote-ref href="#user-content-fn-3">vgk</a>
</code></pre>

Or, simply uninstall Riot Vanguard.
{% endhint %}

[^1]: The SC command communicates with the Windows Service Controller and installed services.

[^2]: Gives the command to 'stop' a process.

[^3]: VGK is Valorant's anti-cheat, Vanguard.
