Product Setup Guide

Welcome to Chod’s Cheats.

This guide will walk you through the full War Thunder cheat setup process, including requirements, preparation, and injection steps. Following each step carefully ensures a smooth and consistent experience.

⚠️ Before You Start

Make sure you follow all steps exactly as written. Most issues are caused by skipping steps or missing requirements.

🧱 Requirements

Before starting, ensure your system meets the following:

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit)
  • A USB drive (required for loader execution)
  • Game installed via:
    • Steam
    • Gaijin Launcher
  • Discord application installed (browser version will NOT work)
  • Discord Overlay enabled
  • Antivirus / Windows Defender disabled during use
  • Stable game version (NOT test builds or development branches)

⚠️ Important:
Test builds and development versions are not supported and may cause crashes or failed injection.

⚙️ USB Preparation

The loader must run from a properly formatted USB.

  1. Insert your USB drive
  2. Right-click → Properties
  3. Ensure:
    • Format: FAT32
    • Capacity: 32GB or less

If needed:

  • Reformat using “Quick Format”
  • Select FAT32

🎮 Discord Overlay Setup

This product relies on Discord overlay functionality.

Step-by-step:

  1. Launch the game at least once
  2. Open the Discord application
  3. Run Discord as Administrator
  4. Go to:
    • Settings → Registered Games
  5. Ensure:
    • The game is detected (green status)
    • Overlay (monitor icon) is enabled
    • Visibility (eye icon) is enabled

⚠️ If overlay is not enabled, the product will not display.

🔐 Account & Access

  • Access is account-based (no keys required)
  • Once your purchase is marked as paid:
    • The product becomes active automatically
    • Access time begins immediately

👉 Access your account here:
Member Area

⬇️ Download & Setup

  1. Go to your Member Area
  2. Click Download Client
  3. Save the file directly to the USB root folder
  4. Run the loader from the USB

🔑 Login & Server Selection

  1. Log into the loader using your account credentials

⚠️ Important (first-time users):

  • Select the UK server for your first session
  • Other servers may have delayed synchronization

If incorrect, you may see: Access Denied

⚡ Injection Process

  1. Select your product
  2. Leave the default 60-second injection timer
  3. Start the injection

You will see a prompt indicating:

Injection will occur after the game process starts

⏱️ Pre-Launch Countdown

  • The loader will begin a countdown
  • Do NOT launch the game yet

Once the countdown finishes:

  • You will receive a prompt confirming injection readiness

🎮 Launching the Game

  1. Launch the game via your platform
  2. Skip all intro screens and cinematics
  3. Reach the main menu before the timer ends

⚠️ If your system loads slowly:

  • Increase the injection timer for future attempts

🧠 During Injection

  • Stay on the main menu
  • Do NOT alt-tab
  • Ensure the game window remains focused

After the timer completes:

  • The interface will open automatically

🖥️ Using the Menu

  • Press INSERT to toggle the interface

Laptop users:

  • Use FN + Insert / Delete

💾 Configurations

Some products support configuration saving:

  • Save your setup once
  • Reload configurations in future sessions

If not supported:

  • This is intentional for that product

❗ Overlay Troubleshooting

If the interface does not appear:

  • Join a Discord voice channel
  • Force the overlay to display (you should see yourself in the top-left corner)

This confirms overlay is working correctly.

✅ After Injection

Once loaded:

  • Adjust settings as needed
  • Test features gradually
  • Avoid changing too many settings at once

🔁 Restart Requirement

⚠️ Restart your PC before playing other games

This ensures:

  • Memory is cleared
  • No conflicts occur
  • System stability is maintained

❗ Common Issues

Access Denied

  • Incorrect server selected
  • Sync delay

Injection Failed

  • Timer too short
  • Game not fully loaded
  • Launch timing incorrect

Overlay Not Showing

  • Discord not running as admin
  • Overlay disabled
  • Game not detected in Discord

❓ FAQ

Yes, but repeated injections may lead to instability or system crashes.

Does this work on test builds?

No. Only stable game versions are supported.

Do I need technical experience?

No. The setup process is structured and beginner-friendly.

🧠 Final Notes

For the best experience:

  • Ensure all requirements are met
