https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/531/how-to-install-plutonium-iw5-launcher Taken from ^ The Plutonium Launcher and IW5 / T6 Mod are created by a group who make this as a hobby, as such, we cannot afford Code Signing certificates (roughly $500 for a reputable one), this means when we release updates, plenty of AntiVirus products will see our newly created files with no Code Signing as suspicious. Plutonium also keeps itself up to date and sends requests to our servers to grab the serverlist and to talk to our anticheat, this also causes AntiVirus products to mark us as malicious. As such we get many support requests due to AntiVirus deleting our files - we, therefore, provide instructions and files below to add Exclusions to Windows Defender for Plutonium if you require them. Some players find that their Windows Defender doesn't complain whereas others players struggle. TLDR: It's a false positive, you need to exclude the %localappdata%/plutonium folder in Windows Defender.

@Xerxes said in When did people stop using common sense?: But private matches are listen servers to the very word of their definition. You still have to portforward and they are already joinable (I think) through the friends list in PlutoIW5. The only thing they don't do is to heartbeat. Well then give an option for the guy hosting a private match to let it appear on the server list, this sounds even easier than what I thought, I initially thought just as you but Mr.Android told me it'd be difficult due to how things are emulated, maybe he did not correctly understood my idea... @Xerxes said in When did people stop using common sense?: I think you are looking back at aIW and 4D1 through rose tinted glasses or the players did behave drastically different in your region than they did in mine. Well maybe it's a regional thing, I live in France and French people just aren't much of the type to meddle with things, not because they don't want to but because they're the type that can hardly be arsed to do anything...

Fixed. Close

@diEcEvo So far, the friends system only works in IW5. See the following thread for more information: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/559/how-to-add-friends-on-plutonium

Just want to add - this is exactly how a suggestion should be made. You clearly stated what you were suggesting and the reason for it. Great post OP.

@H3X1C yeah, I remember aIW and 4DO suffering from this, NTA had way too much work to handle and some cool stuffs were never fully implemented because of that (tfw still no gold weapons in IW4x)...

i actually have a dsr file of it if u want it

@Blonde-Youth No it doesn't

thank you Rektlnator & H3X1C

Use google drive or a similar service

@Infamous I had no idea you didn't have to buy MW3 in the first place, guess I didn't read the guide close enough lol. Thanks for the help!

To play with friends you would probably need to host a dedicated server because the only way right now is to start it by console, but that may change in the future.
