Help SteamUnlocked
Having trouble running a game?
Try these simple fixes:
- Disable your antivirus and Windows Defender before downloading and extracting the game. Many crack files get flagged as false positives and end up in quarantine, stopping the game from working. If you’ve already downloaded a large game and don’t want to re-download it, check your antivirus or Defender’s quarantine and restore the crack file. To avoid this issue it is best to disable your antivirus before downloading.
- Install the required programs before launching the game. Look for a folder named _CommonRedist or Redist and install everything inside, like DirectX, vcredist, and DotNet. Doing this will fix most missing .dll errors.
- Run the game as administrator to prevent issues like game progress not saving. Just right-click the game icon and select “Run as administrator“
Follow these steps and your game should work smoothly!
Notice: Getting a Hotlink Protection Error?
If you’re seeing a hotlink protection error, it means you tried accessing the PixelDrain link from a source other than SteamUnlocked. To download the game correctly, make sure you’re clicking the link directly from SteamUnlocked.us.
❌ Do NOT copy and paste the download link into a new tab or window—this will also trigger the error.
❌ Brave Browser is NOT supported and will cause the same issue. Use a different browser like Chrome or Firefox.
For JDownloader Users:
PixelDrain’s hotlink protection may cause JDownloader to fail when fetching links. Instead of copying the main pixeldrain.com/ URL, you must copy the direct link after the download starts.
✅ How to do it properly:
- Start the download in your browser as usual.
- Press Ctrl + J on your keyboard to open your downloads list.
- Copy the full direct download URL.
- Paste that link into JDownloader or Free Download Manager for a faster download.
Follow these steps, and your download should work without any issues!
