Installation Steps
Prepare before launch
Before launching Authority for DayZ: - **Fully uninstall all third-party antiviruses**. - **Fully disable Windows Defender**. - Reboot after disabling protection. Authority is built by the SMG Cheats team — spoofer is bundled, no separate install.
Download the loader
After payment you receive a key. Use it to download the loader: https://cdn.smgcheats.com/client.php Save to a convenient folder (root of `C:\` recommended).
Activate the key in the loader
1. Run the loader as administrator. 2. Paste the seller key into the input field. 3. Click **Login**. 4. Click **Inject** — **MUST be done BEFORE launching DayZ**! 5. Follow the on-screen prompts.
Launch DayZ and activate the cheat
1. When the loader shows `awaiting game window` — launch DayZ via Steam. 2. Wait for the DayZ main menu. 3. Press **F2** — the cheat menu opens. 4. The cheat is active — enjoy!
Troubleshooting
If the loader closes / menu doesn't appear: - Verify Defender and third-party AV are fully off/uninstalled. - Run Steam and DayZ as administrator (right-click → Properties → Compatibility → 'Run as administrator'). - Re-download the loader from https://cdn.smgcheats.com/client.php. - If the PC reboots — sync time **twice** (Win+I → 'Time & language' → 'Sync now'). - For `Server internal error` contact seller support.
