# How do I download and install?

#### Preparing Your PC

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Do these **before you open the loader**. Skipping one is the most common reason it won't inject.
{% endhint %}

***

#### Step 1: Turn Off Your Antivirus

* Turn off **Microsoft Defender** real-time protection
* **Uninstall** any third-party antivirus (Avast, Kaspersky, McAfee, ESET, Bitdefender, etc.), closing it isn't enough

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Some antiviruses block the Predator website itself. If a page won't open, that's why.
{% endhint %}

***

#### Step 2: Sync Your Windows Time

* Go to **Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time** and press **Sync now**

***

#### Step 3: Set Up Steam

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Steam only:** Predator Marvel Rivals only works on the **Steam** version of the game. Other launchers aren't supported.
{% endhint %}

1. Turn **on** the Steam overlay: **Steam > Settings > In Game > Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game**
2. Right-click **Marvel Rivals** in your library > **Properties**
3. In **Launch Options**, remove anything already there and enter: **-d3d12 -dx12**

***

#### Activating Your Key

1. Go to the **activation page** → [predator.systems/products](https://predator.systems/products/)
2. Enter your **license key** from your order to redeem it

***

#### Launching the Cheat

1. Download the **loader** from your subscriptions page → [predator.systems/panel/subscriptions](https://predator.systems/panel/subscriptions)
2. Extract the zip and run the loader
3. Log in and follow the loader's on-screen steps to inject into **Marvel Rivals**

***

#### Need Help?

* **Won't inject?** Check the Predator FAQ → [Inject troubles](https://predator.systems/threads/inject-troubles.6/)
* **New PC or changed hardware?** Reset your HWID yourself once every 7 days → [Hardware reset](https://predator.systems/panel/hardware-reset)
* **Still stuck?** Open a ticket with Predator support → [predator.systems/support](https://predator.systems/support) or contact us

{% hint style="success" %}
Enjoy your game!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.realdudesinc.net/product-documentation/marvel-rivals-software/predator-marvel-rivals/how-do-i-download-and-install.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
