Setup & Menu Usage

W1TCH Launcher & Menu Injection Setup

Automatic Installation (recommended):
https://w1tch.net/topic/1579-w1tch-launcher-autoinstaller/

Manual Installation:
Pre-requisite: .NET Core 3.1 is required for the W1TCH Launcher to run properly. Download Here.
Download the official W1TCH Launcher from the Downloads Section.

1. Create a folder anywhere on your PC (Desktop is fine).
2. IMPORTANT: The path to the launcher must contain Latin characters only! If your OS username includes non-Latin characters, consider placing the launcher folder directly under C:\ or another simple path.
3. Unzip WLauncher.zip into the created folder.
   
4. Add both the launcher's folder and WLauncher.exe to your Antivirus / Windows Defender exclusions.
5. Add the Requiem folder located at C:\ProgramData\ to your exclusions as well.

If you don't know how to add an exclusion, below is a list of antivirus solutions (click for their tutorials):

Windows Defender - Kaspersky - Bitdefender - Norton - McAfee - ESET - Avast - AVG - Malwarebytes

Adding exclusions is crucial, as most injection issues (crashes, menu not injecting) are related to antivirus protection.

Running the Launcher & Injecting the Menu

1. Run the Launcher as Administrator (Right-click WLauncher.exe → Run as Administrator) and log in with your site credentials.
   
2. If the Inject button is grayed out, ensure you have the latest version. Click Download or Check update. Note: The Inject button will only be enabled once GTA is running.
   
3. IMPORTANT: Before starting the game, go to Rockstar Social Club settings and disable BattlEye.
   
4. Start the game, enable Landing Page via Settings → Saving and Startup → Landing Page ON, then restart the game to load into the main menu.
   
5. Inject Requiem Engine ONLY from the Main Menu! After injection, when you see "Waiting for game to load", enter Story Mode, then proceed to Online if desired.
6. Once injection is successful (usually 3-10 seconds), press F4 in-game to open the menu.
7. Without a full BattlEye bypass, the menu works in Invite-Only Sessions. Installing FSL allows usage in Public Sessions, but your profile (saves) become local.

Menu Command Keys

• F4 – Show/hide the menu
• Mouse – Navigate the menu
• F5 – Teleport to waypoint
• F6 – Teleport to current objective (if possible)

Full hotkey support is under development; the list will be updated as features are added.

Troubleshooting

General Practices If Injection Fails or Game Crashes

• Install the latest supported VCredist from Microsoft: Download link.
• Delete the Requiem folder from C:\ProgramData\.
• Use DirectX 11 and Windowed (Borderless) mode if possible; try lowering graphics settings if crashes persist (not mandatory).
• Turn off "Pause Game On Focus Loss" in GTA Settings → Graphics.
• Ensure "Mouse Input Method" is set to Raw Input if your cursor gets stuck.
• Disable conflicting overlays (Discord, Xbox, Nvidia, etc.).
• Close conflicting software (RAM Cleaners, Game Boosters, Virtual Machines, Sandboxes).
• Disable Hyper-V (Tutorial).
• Verify game files via your launcher (Steam/Epic/Rockstar).
•  Unplug your controller before injection, then re-plug it after success.
• Keep your drivers updated.
• The menu does not work on Cloud PCs or Virtual Machines.

Dealing with Launcher & Console Errors

To understand why the game is crashing or why the menu isn't injecting, pay attention to the errors displayed in the Launcher or the cmd window after clicking Inject:

• "Authorization already granted": You are already signed in on another device. You cannot use the menu on two PCs simultaneously.
• "Authorization Denied": Incorrect login/password. Double-check credentials or reset the password. Try using your email instead of username. If it persists, there may be maintenance in progress.
• "Client version needs updating": Update required. Check for updates or wait for maintenance to finish.
• "You are denied access": No license for Requiem Engine. Purchase a license to use it.
• "You cannot use this here": HWID mismatch. Reset your HWID at Keys Management & HWID Area.
• REMEMBER: Sharing your w1tch account is against the Terms of Service and will result in account/license suspension.
• "Failed to login": Your W1TCH Launcher is outdated. Get the latest version from the Downloads Section.
