    You need to start the client first then the server.

    H3X1C I have done this and it still doesn't work, I've also added a separate net_port for my server than my game's. My game starts up fine but once I try to start up "StartServer.bat", it opens up the command line window for a split second and then closes on its own. It's been a few days now, still no luck.

      Camelman

      same issue

      Seems like the location for " plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe"
      is wrong

      .\bin\plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe

      is not correct path

        ok so i found the issue

        updater.bat , downloads the file in req i.e bin folder

        but you HAVE to change location here also , the mw3 directory

        then run serverrun.bat and change mw3 directory there also .

        good luck

          @cpt-macp Thank you, I will try this and get back to you.

          Edit: I have changed the path in both, still nothing. Could you share me a screenshot of what your Downloader.bat and StartServer.bat looks like? (Obviously don't forget to censor the key)

            you need bin folder in your mw3 directory

            that's why server bat command says .\bin

            or you can do one more thing

            copy %localappdata%/plutonium/bin folder to your mw3 directory and try to run the start
            server .bat

            what updater.bat does is , it downloads bin folder in your mw3 dir to run server, from pw's executable

                @cpt-macp Yeah, I did this and also had bin folder in my MW3 directory but when I tried to start up StartServer.bat, it would just show up blank cmd window for a second and then close.

                  Camelman

                  open the bat file in a cmd and try

                  startserver.bat in cmd

                  and see what error you get

                      Hey Camelman sorry for the late response might be best if you create C:\PlutoServer and place the updater.bat and startserver.bat on that folder.

                      Simply just Change the following

                      Updater.bat

                      @echo off
                      Plutonium.exe -install-dir "C:\PlutoServer" -update-only
                      

                      Place the startserver.bat in C:\PlutoServer. (You might have to edit this but if the window still closes on you)

                      @echo off
                      .\bin\plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe iw5mp "C:\your\normal\mw3\game\folder\here" +set key "secondkeyhashgoeshere" +start_map_rotate -dedicated
                      

                      That way you have 2 plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe's which hopefully doesn't conflict between your server and the game.

                      If still have problems. Then you might have to setup another computer box with RDP access or virtual machine.

                        I had the same issue, you have to start the client first then start the server on a different port then you can use the same folder for both.
