    Did you try deleting both the pluto launchers- the original one and the .new one and redownloading it from http://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe?

    Alternatively, launch Pluto as admin and what antivirus do you have?

          HannesC Yeah I forgot to mention that, but I did download that plutonium.exe (its filesize is the same as the .new one, but in hindsight I should have compared hashes to make sure they're identical) and I got the same result

          I have also launched it as admin, and I'm only using Windows Defender

          Edit: just checked, and the launcher you linked and plutonium.new.exe are identical:

          (first is the one shipped with piry, fresh is the one you linked, new is the one downloaded by plutonium.exe)

            I dowload the game from the torrent version because with cmd was too slow and I just had the same problem. I erase the platonium.exe and new.exe launchers and dowload the launcher that zDark said. I restart the computer and then execute the new launcher as an admin and now it is dowloading files. Gonna advice if it worked :3

            Edit: It worked 2.png

              Erina Remove the old and the .new version, and download the newest from the forum, so you end up with a single plutonium.exe file. there's some permission issues on some systems that doesn't allow it to overwrite the .new.exe file again, meaning it can't self update. Replacing the launcher once usually solves the issue, probably because the other .new file was created by the old updater we had.

                  I'm 99% certain I tried that (based on HannesC's suggestion), but I will try it again in case I'm misremembering or I somehow fucked it up. Won't be for a while because of IRL restrictions, but I will 100% report back with the results when I can.

                  IIRC the new launcher, even with no other launchers in the same directory, throws up the two error messages from the OP (in order).

                      ovoiS Haven't been able to be at my main machine (which is the one with this error) for a while, so I haven't been able to do any further troubleshooting.

                      The launcher works perfectly for me on a completely clean Windows 10 installation using Bootcamp on a Mac, although I was also on a different network to my main machine. To me, the error seems network-related but since even a VPN didn't help me, idk what else I would even try. Tethering from mobile, maybe? Of course, it might also not be network-related.

                      When I can next get to my main machine, I'm just going to try and copy my installation over from my Mac since I've got a working setup here. Maybe you could do the same for your friend – just supply them the files they're missing, if that's possible. Or maybe they could spin up a VM and see if it works in there, and then copy over the installation to their proper Win10 install.

                      It would be nice to have a way of installing Plutonium manually that bypasses the launcher, for users who know what they're doing or in case the launcher doesn't work (but I understand that it's much easier to do everything with the launcher)
