@FuzzCake he needs to be in-game playing with a weapon and all that to be joined, yes. Private lobby is correct because it's private to friends only, no issue here. The one who's hosting has to allow the connection. Make sure to read all the guide carefully it explains everything https://plutonium.pw/docs/custom-games/ If you tried everything and it doesn't work then reply with a screenshot of the port forwarding rule on the router

@ItsPiPe21wolf the forum is in english only if you want support in spanish go on the Discord server As for your issue it looks like missing/broken files. If you didn't download the game from Steam/Plutonium's torrent then delete your files and read the install guide to get all the files https://plutonium.pw/docs/install/ If it keeps happening with valid files then try to repair your game https://plutonium.pw/docs/repair/

@Agmav114 Yes remove them As my previous message said this script downloads and installs all the redists you need for you. Open it and let it do its job until it says it's done

@bad4rFahh0 click the arrow next to the play button.

Ignore that, you only need that if you wanna play customs with friends. And even if it's disabled, you can manually port forward instead https://plutonium.pw/docs/custom-games/#if-upnp-is-still-disabled-or-you-cant-connect-despite-it-being-enabled
