Ahrimdon Thank you for the help but I have no idea which logs and code you mean or where to find them, and i don't know how to format them, could you help me?

JommyTarvis said in BO2 not launching:

C:\Users\Guillermo\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t6/players

Try to delete that folder, it will reset, your config.

Did you do any funny business to your Plutonium folder like setting it read only?

[JommyTarvis]

Xerxes Thanks but I don't have "players" folder in t6 also I didn't set it read only and also deleted the plutonium folder various times hoping that would fix it...

[Xerxes]

Can you check if you can create a new text file in there without admin rights?

[JommyTarvis]

Xerxes Yes I can (create text without admin)

[Xerxes]

Do you have anything that hooks directx? overlays, recording software etc enabled ?

[JommyTarvis]

Xerxes Sorry for the late response, about the overlay stuff I believe I just have steam overlay and discord (not sure if that’s what you’re asking) and I don’t really have recording softwares, in general I believe I don’t have anything weird…

Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I am having this exact same problem with bo2 multiplayer and I'm also getting missing my config file. I've re-installed my game several times, deleted and reinstalled plutonium several times, and have had no luck. Something's definitely wrong with bo2 because world at war and bo1 work just fine

Xerxes I am having the same issue, but with bo2 multiplayer. I don't have a "players" file in my directory though, so I don't know how to fix this problem!
