Hey man, I had the same issue and it was because I had two monitors connected. I disconnected my secondary monitor from my graphics card and launched the game on the main display. Afterwards, I set my video settings to the resolution of my primary display and closed the game. Connected the second monitor and now it launches without going back to the desktop. Hope it helps!

@PatronTimur it doesn't really crash right? The window just disappears? Can you still access the console window (plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe) that opens alongside the game? If yes type vid_restart into it and hit enter.

@erica the problem is that the plutonium background image is in the "images" folder. As soon as the launcher detects that a file has changed it assumes your installation or part of it is outdated and downloads that file from our server. It's not prohibited, just a design flaw as those images should be in a separate .iwd strictly reserving the "images" folder for the loading of custom textures. For the time being you can pack your custom background image into an .iwd file that you put into %localappdata%/Plutonium/storage/iw5. .iwd's are just .zip files so create a .zip file, inside that create an images folder and put your texture in there, then change the file extension from .zip to .iwd (may have to disable "hide file extensions for known file types" in the explorer options).

@ElNarig0nXD upload the .dmp file to google drive and post the link here. Also post a screenshot of your mw3 game folder.

same as the vanilla game, but you need windows 8.1/10 and a GPU that supports DX 11 on a hardware level. https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3/11232

OK good thank you

Are you launching through the Plutonium Launcher?

I updated to r1790 and the problem still persists, here is the crash dump again (it's around 2gb big for some reason): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yAGvkcYG5zb2BvztSu5qEUuwSow6W4Cl/view?usp=sharing

@By_silentx no. Just on Steam
