thanks this helped me so much

Can you translate the exception?

@alonsopuente i also have this problem to and it also somtimes says for me that a connection was forcibly closed by remote host

@SageSloth covered here https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/6832/common-launcher-issues-solutions, also make sure you meet the system requirements on top of that post.

"Desktop" is not a folder that contains your Modern Warfare 3 files like the guide explains. Take your time to read the install guide. If you have no idea what to do then just do exactly as it says. You download MW3 and tell the launcher where MW3 is, not your desktop or another folder, MW3

@Quandale-_dingle so that's a game issue not launcher? Which game? Just put your game at the right resolution then?

@HannesC did that, and then re tried it with the other known steps towards a fix, just kept going

Make sure you don't have any 3rd party firewall blocking Pluto (bitdefender, bullguard, etc). Try changing DNS https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-pcs-dns-settings-windows-10 or use a VPN.

It means exactly what it says, google how to find kaspersky's quarantine section. Kaspersky puts suspicious files inside that quarantine and the files stay there until the user decides what to do with it - purge it or restore it. Restoring it will restore the file and adds some exclusions to it. However since manual exclusions aren't really working, I doubt that'd work too, but you're free to try.

@Dss0 I don't have any antivirus installed, I turned off the windows defender firewall to see if it worked but the problem continued

@H2Smoke try another VPN maybe

@Blasfemiuss try changing your dns servers (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-pcs-dns-settings-windows-10). Also do you use any 3rd party firewall or antivirus software?

@HannesC TY

@Resxt said in It freezes on the "Setup" screen.: it's because you have a spanish n in your path, read below How to fix Setup not changing to Play when selecting the folder? This happens because the path to your game has non english characters. For example C:\Téléchargements has 2 é characters which don't exist in english so the launcher cannot read it. Change the folders names in the path to make sure it has english characters only. For example C:\Telechargements or C:\Games Thank you very much! solved
