Plutonium BO2 & WaW - Linux Tutorial

[ThatOneSeong]

So, two things with the Lutris installer:

1. There's a typo; act_x64 instead of xact_x64 for the dependency.
2. The lutris prefix made doesn't seem to work? Running it through Lutris causes BO2 to crash with a vague DirectX-related error. But if I run the same prefix simply through the command line (WINEPREFIX="/same/path/to/LutrisPrefix" wine "/path/to/plutonium.exe") then it works fine - or at least, as well as it can through Wine if we ignore the mouse sensitive being all kinds of fucked.

Any thoughts?

I usually replace the t6mp.exe with the plutonium updater so when I launch the game through steam it tracks hours and loads pluto... it would be so much easier if pluto would drop the stupid launcher in support for something similar to how IW4X works and just has the game load straight through there own .exe file. for IW4X I rename the launcher and replace iw4mp.exe loads perfect no hassle plutonium is the hassle for me on linux.

This worked for like 2 months but when this new update rolled out I can still get to the launcher but when I click play for t6 plutonium just stops I dont know what to do

[TheDantee]

woly Been trying to also fix this for days no luck

[woly]

TheDantee yeah im sure its the update because I was playing like an hour early before the update rolled out then it stopped working

[TheDantee]

woly looks the devs are working on it from the what I was told in the discord.

The lutris community installer isn't working but i seem to be able to open up the plutonium launcher in wine just fine. When i go to launch bo2 multiplayer or zombies it immediately freezes and i waited a while but nothing happened. Anyone know how i can get that working?

[RektInator]

woly A fix for the problem is rolling out soon. The last update broke wine support for Plutonium.

[zoog]

how long will this take? really looking forward to playing.

[woly]

Much appreciated Been bored not being able to play plutonium for like a week Thanks

[woly]

Potato_ When you launch bo2 and nothing happens happens to everyone on wine right now until wine gets fixed

[zzzachzzz]

Has anyone had luck launching WaW mods when using Plutonium? In my case the game closes as if it is going to relaunch after selecting a mod, but it never relaunches. Launching mods without running the game through Plutonium works fine.

[Death-Eater]

I also have problem it says "the selection contains a non-folder object" actually i first download the dll package then in same folder i merged it will full game version.

Any solution to this I am running Manjaro (Arch linux based)
everything works but this problem sucks
I have all the required winetricks and latest wine staging

Hi, sorry if I necro but I'd like to know if anyone encountered a similar error to mine: when launching BO2 via Plutonium, the launches closes himself, and then a window pops up saying: "DirectX encountered a unrecoverable error.". I looked up on internet and it seems that it comes from a broken DirectX install but I doubled checked all Wine dependencies were installed, and everything seems in place, the DirectX log is also not printing any errors. Anyone in my situation that has a solution?
Thanks.

[alone]

anyway I can privately message you to ask for a little help? would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

@T6Aro OK I figured it out. I had to disable "Enable DXVK-NVAPI / DLSS" under Lutris, now I get a black screen when launching but it's a step in the right direction I guess. (Using Proton-7.0rc2-GE-1, Lutris)

[Ineanto]

@T6Aro Finally got it working! I ditched Lutris and wine ~/.wine/drive_c/USER/GAMEFOLDER/plutonium.exe and it worked? I installed the Redist folder previously so I don't know if it changed anything. Hope this can help someone!

@T6Aro On a fresh install of the Plutonium Lutris script I get a white screen with a DirectX error: "D3D11 Error: Unable to create device and swap chain." and then "Failed to initialize D3D11 context"

[Lukako]

Finished setting this up on Arch Linux, and gameplay wise everything is fine. However if I try to change my video settings in the main menu, after hitting "apply" my game crashes and I'm kicked to desktop. My settings won't stick either, so I'm stuck with whatever is default. Any tips?

[Lukako]

Lukako Managed to change most of my MW3 settings through a .cfg file. Having the same issue as @T6Aro where starting BO just results in a DirectX error with no logging. Ditching Lutris and just going with wine works there as well...

Also, are you guys able to connect to friends in custom games? I'm not sure if connection errors are on my end or not, I can connect just fine to any dedicated server.
