Working — Product is fully operational.

Find Your Order

Before you set up Vector Rust, pull your license key from the Imperium order. That key unlocks Rust on the Vector dashboard so you can generate and download the loader.

  1. Check your email inbox for the purchase confirmation. Also check Spam / Junk if you do not see it.
  2. Look for an email from SellAuth or noreply@sellauth.com.
  3. Open the email and click View Invoice to open your order checkout page.
  4. If the checkout page is already open in your browser, you can skip the email step.
  5. Go to the Order tab, copy your license key, then continue below to redeem Rust and finish Pre-Setup.

If the confirmation never arrived, open the customer dashboard and retrieve your Rust order there.

Sign Up

Phase 2: Injection

1

Close the Game

Make sure the game is fully closed before launching the loader. Check Task Manager to ensure no game processes are running in the background.

2

Launch the Loader

Run the loader as Administrator. Right-click the loader executable and select Run as administrator. Log in with your Vector account credentials.

3

Select Your Product

Once logged in, select your product from the list in the loader dashboard.

4

Wait for Ready State

The loader will display a status message. Wait until it shows Waiting for game or similar ready state before launching the game.

5

Launch the Game

Open the game normally through Steam or your game launcher. Wait until you are fully loaded into the main menu or game before doing anything else.

6

You're Good to Go

Once fully loaded into the game the product will activate automatically. You are ready to use it. Enjoy and play responsibly.

Phase 3: Troubleshooting

Loader Won't Open or Closes Instantly
Disable Antivirus Completely

Make sure your antivirus and Windows Defender real-time protection are fully disabled. Antivirus will quarantine the loader file silently and it will appear to close instantly. Disable it before running.

Sync Your Date and Time

An out of sync system clock can prevent the loader from authenticating. Go to Settings → Time & Language → Date & Time and click Sync Now.

Close Debuggers and Monitoring Tools

Ensure no debuggers, process monitors, or software that could threaten loader integrity are running. This includes tools like Cheat Engine, Process Hacker, x64dbg, or similar programs.

Ensure Administrator Privileges

You must have full administrator privileges on your Windows account. Right-click the loader and select Run as administrator. If you are on a restricted or school/work account this may not be possible.

Still Not Working?

If you have tried all of the above and the loader still will not open, contact our support team on Discord with your order ID and a description of what happens when you try to open it.
