Guide says disable Hyper-V but Arena Breakout installer requires it ON — toggle dance fix

MediumTenstore Android ConnectCall of Duty: Mobile4 solutions

Following the standard TAC setup guide, you're told to disable Hyper-V before playing — because Hyper-V interferes with TAC's hypervisor and causes performance regressions. But when you try to install Arena Breakout (which is a prerequisite step in the TAC bootstrap workflow), the Arena Breakout installer detects that Hyper-V is OFF and refuses to install. You're stuck in a paradox: can't install without Hyper-V on, can't play with Hyper-V on. Reported framing:

"hola, la guia dice tener el hyper-v desactivado, pero al intentar instalar el arena como dice en la guia me pide tener activo el hyper-v y al no tenerlo cancela la instalacion"

This is a known documentation gap — both states ARE actually required, but at different times.

Enable Hyper-V to install, then disable to play. Per WhyBeKing's canonical fix: "Pues actívalo para instalar y después desactivar para jugar."

Step-by-step:

  1. Enable Hyper-V:
    • Win+R → optionalfeatures
    • Check Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform, Windows Hypervisor Platform
    • Apply, reboot
  2. Install Arena Breakout via TAC's storefront. Run it once, reach the login screen, close it cleanly.
  3. Disable Hyper-V:
    • Win+R → optionalfeatures
    • Uncheck Hyper-V (leave Virtual Machine Platform + Windows Hypervisor Platform CHECKED — TAC needs those even when Hyper-V itself is off)
    • Apply, reboot
  4. Launch CODM via Smart Tool — performance is now optimal because Hyper-V isn't competing with TAC's hypervisor for resources.

This workflow needs to happen ONCE per CODM environment bootstrap. After Arena Breakout has registered TAC's environment with Tencent's anti-cheat servers, you don't need to repeat the toggle dance.

Important nuance: Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform should stay ON. The "disable Hyper-V to play" advice ONLY refers to the Hyper-V Windows feature itself, NOT to the related platforms. TAC depends on:

  • Virtual Machine Platform (VMP) — keep ON
  • Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHP) — keep ON
  • Hyper-V — turn OFF for play

This distinction isn't well-documented and confuses many users.

Fast toggle via Command Prompt (advanced). If you don't want to keep using optionalfeatures + reboot for the toggle dance:

# Enable hypervisor (for install):
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

# Disable hypervisor (for play):
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Each command requires a reboot. The bcdedit approach is faster than ticking checkboxes in the GUI but achieves the same effect.

If TAC was previously bootstrapped on this machine, skip Arena Breakout install entirely. The Arena Breakout step is only required for first-time TAC environment registration. If you're reinstalling after a Windows reset and TAC's anti-cheat registration has already happened on this hardware, jump straight to the CODM install path with Hyper-V OFF.
