    ohfrankyboy well, as you can see in the picture you posted:

    aeac79e0-6ebd-4d67-a3bc-bc97b2eb0fa9-image.jpeg

    plutonium is LOOKING in the Call of Duty Black Ops folder... so i don't know what to tell you!

    BUT if your game was auto updated, then the new version won't work with plutonium and you'll need to get the old version.

      There was a call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 giant update and it deleted a bunch of important files or changed the .exe and other files I need for the Plutonium mod to work, thankfully I can still play MW2, WAW and BO2 (But I had to update the entire IW4X using the IW4X launcher and that overwrote files but MW3, isnt working.
      Error files and file problems 'AIL_set_redist_directory@4 from module 'mss32.dll'

      Possibly that mss32.dll needs updating perhaps.

              hopefully this gets fixed soon, i enjoy playing iw5 on plutonium, but its not so amazing that i'll go thru the trouble of downgrading.

                      Stolen from a unfinished guide written by INeedGames

                      You will have to copy paste the url into either you browser or press win+r and paste in there

                      Open the Steam Console, you can click this to open it: steam://open/console

                      Now to download the older 32bit IW5 game files, you can do the following commands:

                      download_depot 42680 42682 6067691797475126381
                      download_depot 42680 42683 6381783964590594065

                      this will download the English IW5 32bit content

                      2959188e-8e2e-4d36-8bc4-9c3e6b8569e0-image.jpeg Image
                      1d27c290-2923-48b9-90d2-430e8c07f79e-image.jpeg Image
                      Downloaded files will be in <YOUR STEAM FOLDER>\steamapps\content\app_*\ folder (as indicated in the console output)

                      d3b71da0-6c23-40a9-b146-06fc31e49a73-image.jpeg

                      b8bd0e6e-59b9-4fde-beb3-f28295072816-image.jpeg
                      You will have to merge the depot folders all into a single folder,

                      Here I will choose to merge everything into the depot_42682 folder,
                      which means I will be cutting and pasting the files inside of the depot_42683 folder into the depot_42682 folder.

                      First highlight all the files in the folder, right click them and select Cut.

                      b1280135-dfd7-4729-82c3-0f28b48780f3-image.jpeg

                      Then go into the folder you want to merge everything into (in my case its depot_42682 as stated before), right click and select Paste

                      de723f12-e5b9-4ef1-a44d-e91a3466eef9-image.jpeg

                      You will likely be prompted to merge folders, confirm with Yes

                      e29785b6-2605-4e36-b31f-6cc061526e01-image.jpeg

                      Repeat this process for all depots you have downloaded
                      Once all depot folders have been merged into one, you will have complete game files ready to be used with Plutonium

                      ba3f8c99-e515-4e47-afd7-9c7709cc352e-image.jpeg

                      You can choose to move and rename the merged folder (my case its depot_42682), here I will move it to my Desktop folder and rename it to MW3
                      eedd61c8-0ed0-4fb6-8ad3-e5f73d8eb775-image.jpeg
                      Just to confirm, inside of my MW3 folder, I will find all the of game files
