Fentry

Compatibility

Windows 10 and 11, Intel and AMD CPUs. Works with the Standalone and Steam versions of Palia.

Activation & Setup

• Create Account: Go to fentry.org/signin and register a Fentry account (or log in if you already have one).
• Your key goes here Activate License Key: Open My Keys in your dashboard and use Redeem license to add the license key you received from GCS Cheats.
• Install Visual C++ Redistributables: Download and install both the x64 and x86 Visual C++ Redistributable packages, then right-click each installer and run it as Administrator. This prevents crashes referencing VCRUNTIME140 or MSVCP140.
• Sync Windows Time: Make sure your Windows clock is synced correctly. The license system validates timestamps, and an out-of-sync clock can cause activation to fail.
• Download the Loader: Open Downloads in your dashboard and download the Palia loader linked to your license. Keep it in its own folder, not directly on the Desktop, in Downloads, or on a cloud-synced drive.
• Add Antivirus Exclusions: Before running the loader, add the loader's folder, the Palia game folder AND C:\ProgramData\OriginPalia\ to your Windows Defender (or third-party antivirus) exclusions. This prevents the antivirus from blocking the software or triggering a "Software Integration Failed" error.
• Disable Overlays: Disable any active overlays before injecting, including Discord Overlay, Steam Overlay, Reshade, Overwolf, and AMD Adrenaline. Active overlays can hide the menu even after a successful injection.
• Run Loader as Admin & Load: Right-click the loader and select "Run as Administrator". Paste your license key if prompted, then click Load.
• Launch Game: Launch Palia.
• Open the Menu: Press INSERT to open/close the in-game menu. On compact or laptop keyboards, use FN + INSERT. If neither works, try ALT + ~ (the tilde key, usually next to 1).

Troubleshooting

Error: "Invalid key"
The license key you entered is incorrect, or your antivirus is interfering with key validation. Copy and paste your key directly from your dashboard to avoid typos, temporarily disable your antivirus, and add the loader folder to your antivirus exclusions.

Software Integration Failed
Microsoft Defender or another antivirus is blocking the loader. Temporarily disable real-time protection and add exclusions for the loader's folder (and the game-specific folder listed above, if applicable).

SmartScreen warning / antivirus blocks the loader from running
Add the required antivirus exclusions, temporarily disable Microsoft Defender (Virus & Threat Protection → Manage Settings), and for third-party antivirus disable Real-Time Scanning / Active Protection. If it's still blocked, verify your game files via Steam (Library → right-click the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files), or fully uninstall the third-party antivirus.

Loader shows: "you must run the function KeyAuthApp.init(); first"
This is usually caused by a blocked network connection. Try a different internet connection (mobile hotspot or VPN), check that Windows Firewall isn't blocking the loader, disable any third-party network/Wi-Fi protection (McAfee, Bitdefender, etc.), and restart your PC. Some routers also have firewalls or parental controls that can block the connection.

Windows clock out of sync
Our system validates timestamps for security purposes. If key activation fails, reset and resync your Windows clock (Settings → Time & Language → Date & Time → Sync now).

No menu / no watermark visible after injecting
ESP or other features may work while the menu itself stays invisible if an overlay is active. Disable Discord Overlay, Steam Overlay, Reshade, Overwolf, AMD Adrenaline, and any other overlay connected to the game, then inject again. If the menu still doesn't appear, switch between DX11 and DX12 in Palia (Graphics Settings → Advanced).

Loader crashes with a DX11 fatal error or mentions VCRUNTIME140/MSVCP140
The required Visual C++ Redistributable packages are missing. Download and install both the x64 and x86 versions, run each installer as Administrator, reboot, and try again.

Invalid HWID
Reset your own HWID from the Reset HWID button on your license key card in the dashboard (Dashboard → My Keys → Reset). HWID resets are allowed once every 30 days.

Palia-Specific Issues

Game crashes with: "An Unreal process has crashed: UE-Palia"
This is usually caused by a corrupted configuration folder. Open File Explorer, navigate to %programdata%\OriginPalia\, delete the entire OriginPalia folder, then restart the game. This removes the corrupted configuration and lets Unreal Engine regenerate fresh files.

Game crashes with: "GPU Crash dump Triggered"
This is typically related to the graphics API or conflicting overlays. First, try switching DirectX version in-game (Graphics settings → Advanced → switch DX12 to DX11 or vice versa) and disable overlays (Nvidia GeForce Overlay, Overwolf, other background apps). If that doesn't help, force the DirectX version manually: for the standalone client, edit %localappdata%\Palia\Saved\Config\WindowsClient\Engine.ini and add [/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings] followed by DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11 (or _DX12); for the Steam version, add -dx11 or -dx12 to the game's Launch Options.
