Installation Steps

1

Windows system preparation

Before launching the SMG cheat for ARK: Survival Ascended you must prepare the system: - Completely disable Windows Defender, Firewall and any third-party antiviruses. - If you have Windows 11 — turn off Core Isolation: Settings → Privacy & Security → Windows Security → Device Security → Core Isolation. - After disabling core isolation reboot the PC. - Remove all unused programs from startup that might conflict with the loader.

Warning
Without disabled protection the loader may throw errors 0xC00006C, 0xC000056 or C0000001 and close during injection.

Downloading the SMG loader

Download the current official SMG loader from the link: 👉 https://cdn.smgcheats.com/client Place the downloaded file in the root of drive C:\ (this reduces the chance of antivirus issues and shortens the path). The loader will automatically request administrator rights at launch — do not deny it.

Important
If the loader crashes at startup — try redownloading the file, moving it to the root of C:\ and rebooting Windows.

Troubleshooting

Restart the loader, redownload a fresh copy from https://cdn.smgcheats.com/client, place it in the root of drive C:\ and reboot Windows.

Enable or disable VPN, reboot the PC, if the error persists contact the seller with a description and a screenshot.

Disable all antiviruses and Windows defenders. If it doesn't help — open CMD as administrator and run: sc stop faceit sc stop vgc sc stop vgk
