Step 0: Prepare your system
1. Uninstall all installed antivirus software — with the standard Windows uninstaller or a dedicated uninstaller tool.
2. The built-in Windows antivirus (Defender) also needs to be turned off, for example with dControl. For step-by-step instructions, see: guide to disabling Defender.

Step 1: Real-time protection
Check it and turn it off manually in the system settings:
Settings → Update & Security → Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → set the "Real-time protection" switch to "Off".
Settings → Update & Security → Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → set the "Real-time protection" switch to "Off".
Step 2: Reputation-based protection
Settings → Update & Security → Windows Security → App & browser control → Reputation-based protection — turn off every option in this section.
Step 3: Activate the key and download the launcher
1. After payment, you'll receive an activation key — you need it for this step.
2. Open the key activation page, type the key into the empty field and click "Continue".
3. Once the key is accepted, your browser will start downloading the launcher. If it won't let you save the file, turn off the browser's download protection or download the launcher with another browser.
2. Open the key activation page, type the key into the empty field and click "Continue".
3. Once the key is accepted, your browser will start downloading the launcher. If it won't let you save the file, turn off the browser's download protection or download the launcher with another browser.
Step 4: Launcher and injection
1. Run the downloaded launcher: a small transparent window will appear where the product loads.
2. If the Wait for the software to download message doesn't go away for more than two minutes or the window closes by itself, open the launcher again.
3. When the injection succeeds, a message will appear in the window saying you can open the game.

3. When the injection succeeds, a message will appear in the window saying you can open the game.
Step 5: Launching Dead by Daylight and the menu
1. Only after this message, launch Dead by Daylight in Steam — in windowed or borderless mode.
2. The cheat menu appears after injection and opens with INSERT.
3. What's inside: aimbot with humanization (FOV, smoothing, hitbox, visibility check, dead zone, reaction delay), player visuals (box, skeleton, name, distance, health and state, item in hand, chase indicator, deep wound, bleed-out timer), a mini radar and ESP for map objects — generators with repair progress, totems with status, pallets, hatches, exit gates, chests, lockers, windows, hooks, traps and breakable walls.

Hotkeys
INSERT — open or close the menu.
You can assign a different key in the menu settings under Menu Key. That's also where you turn on Hide From Capture — it hides the menu from OBS capture.

If something doesn't work
ESP boxes drift and "float" around the screen:
1. In the game, go to Dead by Daylight settings, the display section, and just click "Save".
2. Didn't help? Change the screen resolution and find the one where ESP stops jittering.
3. Check your Windows scaling: Settings → System → Display → Scale & layout — in the dropdown, select 100%.
The launcher is stuck on Wait for the software to download or has closed — run it again.
The browser blocks the launcher download — turn off its download protection or use another browser.
