For some reason the .NET version DS4Windows tells you to download incorrect. Download the correct .NET framework from there instead https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases

@GLOYKB try reinstalling Windows, like from a flash drive. After that, download DirectX and VC_Redist, and all of the following programs you'd possibly need.

@imsarahh if it didn’t work then it won’t be on there, simple.

We know there've been multiple attempts to scrape the publicly accessible user data (username, id, email if the user has opted-in to show it, etc.) and the dump in question is most likely from one of those attempts. Since noticing this (last year) we've added several mitigations, and haven't seen such attempts for quite a long time now. As far as we can tell no sensitive information have been leaked, which is why we haven't formally disclosed these attempts. EDIT: See https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/25366/notification-of-plutonium-forum-databreach-september-2021

@ZombieRich101 yeah man im in the same boat along with tons of others. BUT dont worry its your pc and not the launcher! (if you're on windows 11 that is most likely the issue, everyone having this issue is on windows 11)

A screenshot is better than very vague text

@sKyL0 yea we're gonna need a bit more info than that. Any error messages?

ok i've found a fix, you have to literally factory reset your fucking pc, that's how i fixed it at least, so you're practically fucked unless if you want to start from scratch i believe

First what is your antivirus? Even if it's disabled mention it Also mention any other extra security tool you may have like Malware Bytes

@RoCH_GaMe If it does not register any VPN's available on your PC but still doesn't work, then you should perform a fresh system installation. Seriously. My friend had an issue with FiveM servers because of supposed VPN (he didn't have one), and clean reinstall fixed his problem.

@FakeZura said in Plutonium.exe not working: Plutonium Still isnt working for me like i open it and the curser does the loading thing then stops and nothing happens im just so confused ive literally done everything

@Husky1 what ivanovich_ said. I don't see how plutonium could be causing something like that, we don't modify any system files or settings that could somehow break your windows installation. Most likely caused by something else.

Update DirectX and Visual C++ and ur graphic card drivers

Explain your issue clearly and screenshot the error, what you said doesn't make sense. If you are on Windows 10 you cannot get a Windows 7 error

Crash with an error (0x000007b, crashdump error or similar) There is no easy answer for this but here are some possible solutions Add Plutonium as an exception in your antivirus or uninstall it (do what is said for your antivirus in the documentation) https://plutonium.pw/docs/antivirus Repair your game: https://plutonium.pw/docs/repair/ Update your GPU drivers Install DirectX (even if it's already installed): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 Download and run this script to install all the required redist: https://git.io/redists If you're running the game in a virtual machine don't, this doesn't work If you're using ReShade remove it. It's not supported on Plutonium and will make your game crash Close programs with overlays or disable their overlays (Steam, MSI Afterburner, Rivatuner etc.) Try to unplug devices connected to your PC (VR headset, other monitors, controllers etc.) If you use an Avermedia capture card uninstall its drivers Verify the integrity of your system files: Open the start menu and search for "cmd" Run cmd as admin Copy and paste (right click) each command below one by one in the cmd and press enter after each command Only put the next command when the one you ran is finished. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth sfc /scannow Once it's done restart your PC As a last resort doing a clean install of Windows (factory reset) could solve the issue. Don't install your usual programs at first just install your GPU drivers, Direct X, your browser and Discord for example and test like that.
