## General FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is there a risk of ban using this product?">
    **Yes.** There is always a risk of losing your account even if the product is listed as undetected. Keep your stats low, act legit when being spectated, and use "legit" settings to ensure longevity. Undetected ≠ unbannable, the way you play matters as much as the quality of the product.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is a spoofer and should I use one?">
    A spoofer changes your PC's hardware identifiers to temporary, fake ones. This helps prevent your real hardware from being banned by anti-cheat systems. If a ban occurs, you can re-spoof and continue playing without affecting your actual device. It is strongly recommended to use a spoofer at all times while cheating.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does product activation work?">
    Product time does not start at the time of purchase. Your license starts counting down once you enter your license key into the loader. Your subscription is continuous and does not stop when the product is not in use. To extend it, another license must be bought.

## Loader Download

<Info>
  It is highly recommended to wait to download the loader until instructed in the setup process.
</Info>

Download the loader from [undetect.net/download/loader](http://undetect.net/download/loader).

## Setup Process

<Info>
  Ensure you have downloaded the loader before starting.
</Info>

Before launching, you must enable an overlay:

* **NVIDIA GPUs:** Ensure NVIDIA overlay is enabled. NVIDIA supports both the NVIDIA app and SteelSeries for this software. Download the [NVIDIA app](https://www.nvidia.com/en-eu/software/nvidia-app/), then go to **Settings > General** and enable **In-Game Overlay**. GeForce Experience does not support full screen in-game.
* **AMD GPUs:** You must install [SteelSeries GG](https://steelseries.com/gg/download/). AMD only supports SteelSeries. In SteelSeries: go to **Settings > General**, turn on **Sonar**, then go to **Sonar > Shortcuts** and bind **F7** to **Master - Volume Up**. Press this bind before injection.
