How Long Does Cheat Setup Take?
First-time setup takes 5-10 minutes — cold boot (about 60s), run Raw Spoofer as admin (4s spoof time + license activation), launch the Raw loader and enter cheat license (about 30s), launch the game and wait for anti-cheat init (about 15s), click Inject (2-3s overlay attach), and configure aimbot/ESP settings (3-5 minutes if tuning carefully). Subsequent sessions take under 2 minutes once your config slot is saved.
The honest first-session number is 5 to 10 minutes if you've never touched a cheat loader before, and under 2 minutes from session two onward once your config slot is saved. The bulk of first-time setup is configuring settings — the activation and inject portion is fast.
Breakdown — first-time setup
| Step | Time |
|---|---|
| Cold boot Windows | ~60 seconds |
| Run Raw Spoofer + activate license | ~30 seconds |
| Spoof 16 identifiers | ~4 seconds |
| Launch Raw loader + enter cheat license | ~30 seconds |
| Game launcher (Steam/Epic/Battle.net) startup | ~30 seconds |
| Anti-cheat initialization at main menu | ~15 seconds |
| Click Inject — overlay attach | ~3 seconds |
| Open menu (INSERT) + configure aimbot/ESP/humanizer | ~3-5 minutes |
| Save to config slot | ~5 seconds |
Total around 5-10 minutes depending on how much time you spend tuning.
Subsequent sessions
After your config slot is saved: cold boot (60s), run spoofer (4s), launch loader (5s — license is cached), launch game (30s), wait at main menu (15s), Inject, load config slot. Under 2 minutes door-to-door. If you skip the cold boot (acceptable on consecutive sessions when you haven't been flagged), under 90 seconds.
What makes setup slower
The four things that pad setup time: 1) running the spoofer without admin (partial spoof, then you redo it), 2) injecting before the anti-cheat finishes warming up (loader errors, retry), 3) the loader catching a paused build during a signature update — wait for the forum status board to flip green, 4) tweaking aimbot smoothness more than three times trying to find your preferred feel. Save a config slot once it feels right.
Anti-cheat init time by game
Easy Anti-Cheat on Fortnite, Rust, and Apex finishes init in about 10 seconds at the main menu. BattlEye on PUBG and Rainbow Six Siege takes 12-15 seconds. Riot Vanguard (Valorant — we don't sell here) takes 20+ seconds and runs from boot. NeacSafe on Marvel Rivals takes about 10 seconds. Wait the full time — the loader will reject injection attempts on an unwarmed anti-cheat.
Config slot time saver
Once you set aimbot smoothness, trigger delay, ESP filters, humanizer settings, and keybinds, save to a numbered config slot. The Raw menu supports up to 10 slots — one per game tuning style (ranked vs casual vs scrim). Loading a slot takes 1 click, no re-entry of values.
Compared to other workflows
DMA cheating setup runs 30-60 minutes including hardware install — DMA cheats require a second PC and a Captain DMA card. Free Cheat Engine scripts often require manual offset updates after every patch, which adds 10-30 minutes per session. RawCheats streams updated offsets from our infrastructure, so your loader is always current — no offset editing, no signature pasting, no manual rebuilds.
Reasonable expectation
If your first setup runs longer than 15 minutes, you're either fighting Windows Defender (see does Windows Defender flag RawCheats), tuning settings too aggressively, or skipping the cold boot. The clean baseline is 5-10 first time, 2 minutes thereafter. For a session-by-session walkthrough see the setup-safely cluster.

Buy the Raw cheat for your game plus the Raw Spoofer add-on, cold boot Windows, run Raw Spoofer as administrator and enter your spoofer license to randomize 16 hardware identifiers, launch the Raw loader and enter the cheat license, select your game from the dropdown, then start the game via Steam, Epic, or Battle.net. Click Inject in the loader at the main menu and press INSERT in-game to open the overlay.
Cold boot Windows before launching anything, right-click the Raw Spoofer binary and select Run as administrator, paste your spoofer license into the activation field, and click Spoof. The tool randomizes 16 hardware identifiers including SMBIOS UUID, motherboard serial, disk serials, MAC addresses, GPU UUID, MachineGuid, RAM SPD, and monitor EDID in about 4 seconds. Reboot is not required. Launch your cheat loader and game afterward.
Launch your game first and wait at the main menu, then open the Raw loader, select the matching game from the dropdown, and click Inject. The cheat attaches as an external overlay outside the protected game process, so Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye see no DLL load events or memory writes inside the game. The menu opens within 2-3 seconds. Default keybind is INSERT. No manual offsets, no Cheat Engine, no DLL handling required.
The safe order is: cold boot Windows, run Raw Spoofer as administrator to randomize 16 hardware identifiers, launch the Raw loader and enter your cheat license, open the game via Steam, Epic, Battle.net, or NetEase, wait at the main menu for the anti-cheat to initialize, click Inject in the loader, then press INSERT to open the menu. Skipping the spoofer step or launching the game before the loader breaks the chain.
Most injection issues come from five causes: the game wasn't fully loaded at the main menu when you clicked Inject, the loader caught a paused signature update on the forum status board, Windows Defender quarantined the loader binary, you ran the loader and game at mismatched admin levels, or you skipped the spoofer cold boot. Check the forum status first, then re-run with admin, then verify Defender exclusions. Discord support averages under 10 minutes during waking hours.
