JL_Nix if it says "couldn't load import bink..." then you didn't select a game folder that contains bo2 game files. If it says something about dxinput missing you need to install directx 9, there's an installer in your game folder (redist/directx/DXSETUP.exe).

DaFox you could delete the mp maps, they are located in zone/all.

Run this, restart your PC once its done.

Xerxes I have a Russian version of the client and server.

Alt tab into the bootstrapper cmd window, and type r_fullscreen 0 and vid_restart in it.

Everyone's stats were reset a few months ago, you can get everything back by typing unlockall in console or following this guide https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/3810/release-mp-diamond-camo-unlocker-10-cac-slots

@SCPSUP steam_api.dll being deleted is normal. Plutonium deletes this to avoid conflicts with Steam afaik. The crashes might be caused by your antivirus. Try to add both the Plutonium folder and your BO2 folder as exclusions. See this guide

If that doesn't fix your issue then you might have to uninstall your antivirus. FYI Windows Defender the antivirus that comes with Windows 10 is very good for the average user and is free so I recommend that you stick with that.
