June 8, 2026 - By Kvix

Setup checks

If the loader does not work or the menu does not appear, check the following for Bleak Rust, ARC Raiders, WARDOGS, and PUBG/PUBG Lite:

  • Make sure the required dependencies are installed:
  • Make sure the game is in borderless mode:
  • Check the game's display settings and select borderless mode.
  • Run Discord and the loader as administrator:
  • Fully close Discord, then reopen it using Run as administrator.
  • Run the Bleak loader as administrator too. Do this on every launch.
  • Make sure Discord's overlay settings exactly match the instructions:
  • Open User Settings > Game Overlay and check every setting:
  • Enable Overlay: ON
  • Enable Legacy Overlay: OFF
  • Enable Interactive Overlay Regions: ON
  • Use Compatibility Mode: OFF, where shown
  • Make sure the overlay is active for your game:
  • Keep Discord running.
  • Check the game's overlay toggle is ON where shown and that the overlay is active in User Settings > Game Overlay.
  • The Discord overlay notification in the top-left corner of the game also confirms it is active.
  • Follow the correct launch sequence:
  • Enter your key in the loader and click Inject.
  • Wait for the game to start automatically and reach the main menu.
  • Confirm the Discord overlay is active, return to the game, and press F4.
  • Allow 5 to 10 seconds for the Bleak menu to appear.
  • Use Insert or Home to open or close the menu.
  • For Rust, check your Windows edition:
  • Use an official Windows Pro or Enterprise installation, as required in the Rust instructions.

Follow your product's full instructions: Rust, ARC Raiders, WARDOGS, or PUBG/PUBG Lite.
