Weird. Sooky edit by INeedGames

Pack the file as a IWD and place the IWD file in %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\iw5

sillyrapscallion its a reshade wouldnt that ban you😂

420x Hmm, try reinstall plutonium then run it once. After that, add it to your AV exceptions and then reboot the computer. On reboot, run it as admin.

Rebooting the PC does help after adding the exception.

I am assuming you did not reboot after both the reinstall and adding it to your AV exceptions as I finish writing this.

The mod you're referring to is called Bot Warfare, most likely
The game is limited to 18 players

Update: I know why I can't parse the Assault Rifles. It's because of the way they're dumped. The only workaround is by using a SMG weapon file, copy and pasting the AR files onto the SMG files. It's not because of the Launcher issue.

sadslothxl Is there really no way?

Xerxes Even with my mod not overwriting any built-in GSC files (only adding new GSC files) this error still occurs. Even when loading the mod but not running any of my GSC code, it still crashes with this error. I've narrowed it down that adding more than 42 localize assets to my linked fastfile (just those localizes, nothing else) causes Downturn to freeze upon load. Why is it freezing when I'm only compiling localize assets to the mod?
