Cloud DMA setup steps for Arc Raiders Hacks on Windows PC

I keep seeing Cloud DMA is required but I do not fully get what it is. Do I need a second PC and a DMA card, or is this different?

On my first launch the menu was half greyed out. I want to do the Cloud DMA setup properly — the Setup page has steps but I want a plain-English version.

    Cloud DMA is not a physical card or a second PC. It runs on your one rig. The name confuses everyone at first.

    Cloud DMA is required for the full feature set and is included. Enable HVCI, TPM and Secure Boot in BIOS, reboot, and launch in the order on the Setup page. That is what fixes the half-grey menu.

    So the half-grey menu on first launch was just BIOS settings?

    Almost always. Mine looked fine in Windows but Secure Boot was off in firmware. Turned it on and everything went live.

    Do not skip the launch order either. Out-of-order launch is the other common cause of a partial menu.

    Enabled Secure Boot + TPM in BIOS, launched in order, full menu now. Cloud DMA makes sense, thanks.

    If it is still partial after that, it is a Support ticket, not a reinstall. They will walk it with you.
