NNCheats • Escape from Tarkov
Installing NNCheats for Escape from Tarkov: preparing Windows and BIOS, launching via the launcher with a hypervisor, the Insert menu, MW features and common errors.
Instructions
Complete every step in order and don't skip any. The Escape from Tarkov cheat works through its own hypervisor, which the launcher installs by itself. All you have to do is carefully prepare the system and BIOS following the list below.
Step 0: What you need to launch
1. OS: Windows 10 / 11 x64, builds 2004–25H2, installed from an original ISO image. Stripped-down, "enhanced" and "gaming" builds, as well as Windows with disabled components, are not guaranteed to work.
2. Hardware: an Intel or AMD CPU, NVIDIA or AMD graphics.
3. Disk and firmware: GPT partitioning, BIOS in UEFI mode.
4. Game: Escape from Tarkov from the BSG Launcher or Steam, Borderless window mode.
5. No flash drive needed, and the cheat doesn't include a spoofer.

Step 1: Third-party protection
The loader conflicts with third-party antivirus software and anti-cheats. They have to be fully uninstalled: when paused or "turned off", the protection driver still stays in the system.
1. Open the list of programs via Settings → Apps → Installed apps (Control Panel → Programs and Features works too).
2. Uninstall third-party antivirus software — Kaspersky, Avast, AVG, ESET, 360, Malwarebytes and any others.
3. Uninstall FaceIT AC and Riot Vanguard if they are on your PC: both run at kernel level and block third-party software from loading. FaceIT is needed for CS2 and Vanguard for Valorant; if you don't play them, uninstall without a second thought.
4. Restart your computer so the services of the removed antivirus fully unload.

4. Restart your computer so the services of the removed antivirus fully unload.
Step 2: Windows Defender
An enabled Defender is the most common reason the cheat won't start, so we turn it off completely.
1. Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings. Start with the "Tamper Protection" toggle: while it is on, the other settings will keep turning back on. After that, switch automatic sample submission, real-time protection and cloud-delivered protection to "Off".
2. Windows Security → App & browser control → Reputation-based protection → Settings: switch everything here to "Off", both SmartScreen and potentially unwanted app blocking.
3. Remove Defender from startup: Ctrl+Shift+Esc → "Startup apps" → Windows Security notification icon → "Disable".
4. Restart the PC — otherwise some Defender services will keep running.
5. To disable it for good, use our guide to disabling Defender.
If the toggles are off but the cheat still won't start, the cause is almost always skipped items 3–4: Defender stayed in startup and turned back on after the restart.

Step 3: Memory integrity
While "Memory integrity" is on, the cheat driver won't load.
1. Open Windows Security → Device security → Core isolation details.
2. Turn off "Memory integrity", then restart the system.

2. Turn off "Memory integrity", then restart the system.
Step 4: BIOS/UEFI — virtualization, TPM and Secure Boot
1. Check Secure Boot in advance: Win + R → msinfo32, and in "System Information" find "Secure Boot State". If it says "Off" or "Unsupported", you can skip item 5.
2. Restart the PC and open BIOS/UEFI with Del, F2 or F10 — which one depends on the motherboard.
3. Enable hardware virtualization — the loader doesn't work without it. In Advanced → CPU Configuration (the section name may differ), enable Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) for Intel or SVM Mode for AMD. Intel owners also need to enable VT-d.
4. Turn off TPM / TPM 2.0 — regardless of the CPU manufacturer.
5. Secure Boot prevents the loader from starting: in Boot or Security → Secure Boot, select Disabled. If the option is grayed out, first set a Supervisor Password (administrator password) in Security — after disabling Secure Boot, you can remove the password.
6. Save the changes (usually F10) and restart.

Step 5: Time, UAC and unnecessary programs
1. Open Settings → Time & Language → Date & time, turn on "Set time automatically", then click "Sync now". If the clock is off, the key won't pass authorization on the license server.
2. Turn off User Account Control (UAC) and Windows Firewall.
3. Get rid of booster programs and reverse-engineering tools that interfere with the cheat: GearUP Booster, Cheat Engine, MSI Afterburner, IDA, RivaTuner Statistics Server, Process Hacker and the like.
4. Clean up startup: Task Manager → Startup apps.

Step 6: Launching via the launcher
1. Download Launcher.exe from the page 2.27.98.208:8080/user, after signing in with the key from your order.
2. Launch Escape from Tarkov.
3. Run Launcher.exe; answer "Yes" when Windows asks for administrator rights.
4. Enter your license key and click Activate.
5. Before the first launch, run a check with the Diagnostics button — it will find possible problems in the system.
6. Click Launch. The launcher will check the system; after that, there are three possible outcomes:

3. Run Launcher.exe; answer "Yes" when Windows asks for administrator rights.
4. Enter your license key and click Activate.
5. Before the first launch, run a check with the Diagnostics button — it will find possible problems in the system.
6. Click Launch. The launcher will check the system; after that, there are three possible outcomes:
- no hypervisor — the launcher will download and install it by itself; restart the computer and open the launcher again;
- hypervisor active but the game closed — the launcher will ask you to start Tarkov: launch the game and join a server;
- check passed — the launcher unlocks the button Inject.
Step 7: Menu and hotkeys
1. Switch to the game window: boxes around players will already be on screen.
2. The settings menu is opened by pressing Insert.
3. Features marked MW write data to the game memory and only work in a raid. They include Silent Aim, recoil and sway, stamina, fast magazine loading, fast search and looting through walls. Vector Aim and all ESP features don't write to the game memory. The risk of a ban always remains.

If something doesn't work
Hypervisor is NOT active — the Launch button will start the hypervisor installation; once it finishes, restart the PC. If that doesn't help, check in BIOS that SVM (VT-x on Intel) is set to Enabled and run Diagnostics: it will check whether VBS and Hyper-V are on.
Game is NOT running — first launch Tarkov and join a server, then click Inject.
The overlay isn't displayed — in the Escape from Tarkov graphics settings, choose the Borderless Windowed screen mode.
Broke after a Windows update — Windows 11 with TPM may turn "Memory integrity" back on after an update. Diagnostics will find it and disable it again; then restart.
WebView2 Runtime not found — you need the WebView2 component from Microsoft: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703.
Auth failed / key not accepted — check your internet connection and that the key is correct: no typos or spaces. Don't forget the time sync from step 5.
The launcher won't start — run it with administrator rights: right-click Launcher.exe → "Run as administrator".
The computer won't boot Windows — restore the bootloader as described in the block below.

If Windows stopped booting
You'll need a Windows installation flash drive of 8 GB or more — you can make one on another PC with Media Creation Tool or Rufus.
1. Boot the computer from the flash drive. When the language selection appears, press Shift + F10.
2. In the command prompt, type diskpart, then list volume. Find a small FAT32 partition of 100–500 MB and run select volume X, where X is the number of that partition, then assign letter=Z and exit.
3. Run bcdboot C:\Windows /s Z: /f ALL; if Windows is not on drive C, put in your own letter.
4. After the message "Boot files successfully created", unplug the flash drive and restart the PC.

Extra — if the cheat still won't start
Windows virtualization components. Hyper-V and related features intercept the hypervisor and interfere with the loader. Virtualization enabled in BIOS (VT-x/SVM) is a separate setting — leave it alone.
1. Open Control Panel → Programs → Turn Windows features on or off and uncheck Virtual Machine Platform, Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platform.
2. In a command prompt as administrator, run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off, then restart.
3. Make sure "Memory integrity" and Application Guard are turned off.
The loader says "Unsupported firmware". This means the system disk is partitioned as MBR, but GPT is required.
1. Win + R → diskmgmt.msc, then right-click the system disk → Properties → Volumes → Partition style. The expected value is GUID (GPT).
2. For MBR, run in a command prompt as administrator mbr2gpt /convert /allowfullOS — your data is kept. Then switch the BIOS boot mode to UEFI. Back up anything important beforehand.
Libraries. Outdated Visual C++ and DirectX can make the loader and the overlay crash on startup.
1. Install Visual C++ Redistributable x64 and restart your computer.
2. If needed, update DirectX.
1. Open Control Panel → Programs → Turn Windows features on or off and uncheck Virtual Machine Platform, Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platform.
2. In a command prompt as administrator, run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off, then restart.

Questions and answers
Do I need to install the hypervisor every time? It works for one Windows session, so after a PC restart it is installed again. Just click Launch — the launcher does everything by itself. With the Deploy button, you can install the hypervisor manually in advance so it's ready on the next Windows boot.
Which Windows does the cheat work on? Windows 10 and 11, from 2004 to 25H2, if the system was installed from an official ISO image. Modified systems, including those with disabled components, are not guaranteed to work.
