Setup Guide

Follow these steps before running Pearlescent. All steps are required unless marked optional.

Important: Complete ALL required steps before launching the loader. Skipping steps will result in errors or crashes.

1 System Requirements

Administrator access on your PC

2 Disable Windows Memory Integrity

Open Windows Security → Device Security
Click Core Isolation Details
Turn OFF "Memory Integrity"
RESTART YOUR PC (required for changes to take effect)

This step requires a reboot. The setting will not fully apply until you restart.

3 Disable Windows Defender

Open Windows Security → Virus & Threat Protection
Click Manage Settings
Turn OFF "Real-time protection"

Do NOT skip this step. Windows Defender will quarantine the loader and driver files immediately.

4 Disable Tamper Protection

Tamper Protection can re-enable Defender even after you turn it off.

Open Windows Security → Virus & Threat Protection → Manage Settings
Turn OFF "Tamper Protection"

Right-click → Run as Administrator
The loader will automatically download and inject the driver

First launch: Your license key will be bound to your PC's hardware ID on first use. You get 3 HWID resets per week if needed.

6 Launch Your Game

Launch the game as you normally would
The overlay/menu should appear automatically
Configure your settings in the menu

✓ Quick Checklist

Troubleshooting

"DriverEntry returned 0xE0000010 — hook failed"

This means the driver couldn't hook. Make sure:

Memory Integrity is OFF (reboot after changing)
Restart your PC after making all changes

"Access Denied" or loader closes immediately

You must run as Administrator. Right-click → Run as Administrator.

"Key bound to different machine"

Your key is HWID-locked. Go to pearlescent.cc/portal to self-service reset your HWID (3 resets per week).

Windows Defender keeps deleting files

Disable real-time protection (Step 3) and make sure Tamper Protection is also off (Step 4).
