[3arc]PHill did you put the batch files used to start the server into a folder that contains bo2 game files?

[3arc]PHill

Are them here?

[3arc]PHill seems right tho that games folder is weird, doesn't belong there. Are you running the game itself on the same pc? If yes which folder did you select in the launcher?

Did you modify the batch files in any way (apart from adding your server key)?

[3arc]PHill

Dss0 It is not in the same folder than the game, I followed a Ytb tutorial and Yes!!! I did add the key server.

[3arc]PHill it's clearly not right. Why do you have a t6r folder? This has been outdated for so long now.

Second why do you have 4 folders that belong in
Plutonium? Did you really install your server right into Plutonium? Something is really wrong here

And last you're missing game files. I only see the zone folder when the game has more folders

[3arc]PHill yea the way that guy is setting everything up is not optimal, in fact some stuff he does is pointless and confusing.

I'd start fresh. Just copy over the zone folder from your game folder like he did as well, then also put plutonium.exe and the files from T6ServerConfigs-master into your game folder.

The config goes into %localappdata%/Plutonium/storage/t6. the "t6r" subfolder that sits in the game folder is deprecated, we don't recommend using that anymore.

Then simply launch !updatePluto.bat, put your server key into the !start_x_server.bat and run it.

Thanks both!!! Very good support and fast. I will try it this morning.

Dss0 I just started trying what you told me and I realised that I DID NOT COPY the "zone" folder, maybe that was the problem, now when I launch the server The "heartbeat" says it is successful. But now I have another error code:

Heartbeat successful.

A critical exception occured!
Exception Code: 0xC0000005
Exception Address: 0x00624570 (plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe)

[3arc]PHill when does this happen? after it heartbeats once? Does the game itself work on your pc?

[3arc]PHill

Dss0 Yes, the game does work on my pc. And it does happen after the heartbeat was successful.
