Slug Licker

Open notepad.exe, copy and paste this, save it as "systemhealth.bat", run it as admin:

@echo off
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ipv4 reset
netsh int ipv6 reset
netsh int ip reset
netsh int tcp reset
pause

Restart your pc.

Go to C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Plutonium
Delete everything inside.
Delete your old plutonium.exe
Download a clean one from here: https://plutonium.pw/docs/install/
Run it.

If the problem still happens, go to your steam library, right-click the game and select "properties", go to "local files", select "verify integrity of game files".

Yes, try that first. @pextotic

And then try verifying integrity of game files.

Make sure you run that .bat script above because it repairs your Windows image, then fixes corrupted system files, and fixes winsock.

Winsock serves as a translator for basic network services, such as send () or receive () requests.

You could also try opening device manager and going to your network adapters and right-clicking each of them to check if any of them have an updated driver that can be installed.

You could try unplugging your router and/or modem and leaving it unplugged for 10 minutes, then plugging it back in. This is a good reboot for the device handling your internet connectivity. It's important to give it that 10 minutes, by the way.

If that didn't work, try resetting your windows firewall settings to factory/default by opening command prompt as administator and typing "netsh advfirewall reset" without the quotation marks, then press enter.

Some players also appear as invisible to you, correct? Similar to these posts:

https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/35460/constant-crashing-on-black-ops-ii-zombies
The following image, sent in Discord by rlaphoenix, clearly shows the problem that the previous posts have discussed

In that case, before joining a server, open the Party Privacy menu by pressing P or by clicking on the option from the bottom of the screen, change the player limit to 1, then change the party player limit again and set it to the maximum value (8 in the case of Zombies), then join a server. The solution is based on this: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/35712/invisible-player-glitch-solution

Update 21/5/2024

Here's some documentation of the problem by me.
I've recorded a video showing the crash and showing the values of max player limit dvars—specifically the ones changed by the party options menu, which are: sv_maxclients, com_maxclients, party_maxplayers, and party_maxplayers_privatematch—before and during the match which crashed the game. The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/T95CdiswLuU
One thing I’d like to mention about the video is that I set the party player limit to 1 before starting the recording and restarting the game.
Also, the crashdump files and a console log of the recorded session can be found here: https://mega.nz/folder/Ag8SzKaJ#OW10xbPnfGUo5pii9yypEQ

Just a note, I've mostly noticed that the value of com_maxclients changes to match the value of the dvar party_maxplayers upon joining a match. So, I could not determine which dvar of these two was causing this problem, but my guess is it's due to com_maxclients. As for sv_maxclients and party_maxplayers_privatematch, I was able to set them to 1 while keeping the previous two at max, but the problem does not occur in this case. The video shows the problem occurring when com_maxclients and party_maxplayers are set to 1 and the other two dvars are set to max.
Additionally, I've noticed that the crash occurs when an invisible player leaves, but not when a visible player does.

Here are some images from a previous match showing how players lying within or outside the range of com_maxclients appear:

3rd person view of client 0, visible due to lying within the range of com_maxclients

3rd person view of client 4, invisible due to lying outside the range of com_maxclients

Displaying the scoreboard and dvar values of sv_maxclients, com_maxclients, and party_maxplayers

Update 25/5/2024

Added an additional step to the fix.
