Port checkers do not check UDP, make sure you allow it inside windows firewall as well check out tom's hardware for a guide

@ProprAsFuck "Kickass torrents" Whatever game you tried downloading, you clearly fucked up. For some reason...it's always with downloading t6 or whatever game you tried getting that lead to downloading a non official directs installation. So, to solve your issue, reinstall windows. It's always the same error around people who download shitty repacks.

@Dss0 I started the game beforehand yeah, I got to the screen where it said "waiting for players 1/2" but he couldn't join from there. Here's a screenshot[image: 1619875762688-ports.png]

Please do, we been waiting a long time for this.

Thats your issue, only way to get it working is to uninstall it.

Screenshot your game folder, and your launcher's game settings for bo2.

@RealOrsi what did you mess around with exactly? You can try deleting the plutonium_mp config file in the players folder in your game folder. You can also try this: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/6353/how-to-repair-your-t6-installation

@Wondera dump file is corrupted. Where did you download the game from? Which version of windows are you using? Do you have any mods installed? Do you have any overclocks applied? Do you have any DirectX overlays (msi afterburner/rivatuner/...)? What Exception Address did it show? (just post a screenshot of the error message)

Screenshot your bo2 folder and game settings of the launcher.

Quit any overlay apps you have running in the background. We need the crashdump as well, upload it to gdrive and post the link here.

What antivirus do you use?

For reference in case other staff members poke at this thread, the only dump that isn't corrupted is plutonium-r1749-2021-04-29_02-59-49, I can't make sense of the minidump, though. Edit: OP said disabling nvidia sound devices fixed it.

@catb0mb few things you can try: install all available windows updates update your graphics driver disable all nvidia sound devices [image: 93da1fc1c5f0ae31cca878ef1551d7ee.png]

@whambamsuperslam if he port forwarded 4976 manually or with UPnP and it still doesn't work then tell him to check his firewall if the port connection is blocked since the same thing happened with me and my friend, he couldn't join me but I could join him. Else you could just be typing in the command wrong.
