    Hey, this is also happening to me pretty constantly. I'll go into detail: I launch Pluto, open IW5, and choose any random server (Particularly, it's happening a lot in HGM servers in which I have very low ping.) and hop into a game. At some point along that first game, and it could be ANY time, like just after joining, twenty minutes after joining, when the game is about to end... it will crash. The screen freezes for around 10 seconds; then the "Plutonium has crashed" message will appear with the options to either wait for it to fix itself (never works) or just to close the program.

    So I close it and open in again. From there, maybe it won't crash again for the entirety of the play session, or the problem described above will repeat between one and three times, sometimes four. Importantly, there is always a "last crash"; after which, the game will stop crashing and I can play normally for one or two hours.

    I have two theories as to why this might be happening.

    1. It's a 12 year old game. It's bound to crash a couple of times. Nothing we can do about it.
    2. Maybe it crashes when the internet connection stumbles??? I play through wifi and it can get pretty stanky from time to time.

    So idk. That's all i got. Sorry for the long reply.

    GoldenPandoria does this happen on certain maps only (specific maps or DLC maps only or custom maps only)?

        GoldenPandoria It happens to me on the same servers. I play many games on HGM servers but i cannot do anything to fix it. Ive always have to open task admin to close plutonium because i wait to unfreeze but it never happens. So when i open again, i can play 2 matches without freezes, and sometimes, 4 matches but at least, it freezes again.

          DaveStradlin Does it also happen to you that, when the screen freezes, the sound keeps going, like, the ambient sound? I was JUST playing a game and it crashed, but the Dome background noise (wind) kept playing. Just thought that might be relevant to the problem.

          Honestly, I think this might just be that the game is very old and prone to crashes, lol.

              Now im playing a match and when im shooting, it freezes. Its my first match today and i feel a little bit angry. It doesnt happens with BO2. I'll post a screenshot of the moment it freezes.
              My question is that. Have i select the files of the MW3 dedicated server on plutonium server? Or from MW3 multiplayer? Because i have selected the dedicated, but like on BO2 it doesnt happens and is from BO2 multiplayer, i thought using MW3 multiplayer files, it wont happen.

                  DaveStradlin looks like a PC issue idk. Try this:

                  • Update GPU drivers
                  • Install DirectX even if it's installed
                  • Cap your fps to your monitor hz with com_maxfps 60 in console

                        DaveStradlin does it also happen in custom games?
                        Did you try different servers?
                        How high is your ping approx. on these servers?

                          And yes, i tried a lot of servers and it happens in all. My ping depends of the servers. Sometimes i have 130 but my internet is good so normally i have 40 ping

                            Hey y'all. Just dropping by to let you know that, following Resxt's advice, I updated my GPU drivers and the crashes stopped happening...

                            Except when I stream the game through discord. Any idea what that might be about? In any case, updating the drivers helped, so thank you! ❤

                                  GoldenPandoria ok same. I've been playing like 8 matches and no freeze, but on the next match it happens again. I close and open again and on the first match, freezes. Idk what to do to play without any issue :c

                                    At this point i dont think is a PC issue. Today i reinstalled MW3, i optimized with GeForce Experience, because it shows and error on MW3 MP and i have to open it on steam and now i dont have any error on GeForce with MW3. I played like 7 matches and when i started the next one, it freezes. Now idk what could i do. I dont have this issue with BO2. I can play all matches i want without any issue.

                                        My game doesn't freeze at the end of matches... sometimes I can play with no problem, but sometimes it starts freezing in the middle of the game (again and again and again) it's soooooooo annoying and frustrating bro 😕
