      Go to %localappdata% and delete the plutonium folder. Run the launcher again

          The bootstrapper just opens and closes? No error?

            HannesC The bootstrapper never closes without an error, the launcher behind it does however

                  99.9% sure this is related to antivirus.

                  What antivirus have you got?
                  Is it the only antivirus you have?
                  What folder exceptions did you add?

                      eXothicc Are you certain windows defender is disabled?

                      Also check to see if you have any of these:
                      SONAR RADAR, SONAR STUDIO, GAMERSFIRST IV, NAHIMIC, ADVANCED SYSTEMCARE ULTIMATE, PREMIER OPINION are some of the programs that cause issue, uninstall them if you have them.

                        H3X1C Yes, i am sure it is disabled

                        The only program close to that would be Driver booster, i've uninstalled it and tried launching the game but the issue persists

                          eXothicc I can only assume it is your antivirus. Even whitelisting is not enough for some antivirus softwares. Could you try uninstalling it?

                            H3X1C Ah yes, i uninstalled Sophos and restarted my PC and i can launch the game, windows defender currently in use and causing no conflicts so i guess there is an 80% chance it was my antivirus, even though it was disabled and the folder/plutonium bootstrapper was whitelisted,

                            Thanks for your time and assistance!

                              eXothicc It was the antivirus. I would be suspect of an antivirus that doesn't disable when you disable it...
