literally nothing works

GLOYKB

on windows 11
no antivirus (its excluded anyways both the exe and folder in %appdata
windows defender is deactivated
no futher antivirus was ever installed on pc
all recommended and required apps/installs were done
I have done literally everything that has been recommended nothing works
I have searched through everyone having similar problems as I am but yet to receive a fix (some report factory resetting pc has worked) but you got me fucked if you think im doing that for plutonium
all I can find is Resxt power tripping on people saying there is no issue with the launcher and everyone who thinks so is a degenerate.

hindercanrun

GLOYKB first thing you can do is post a screenshot of the error message
that’ll help you a lot
and the launcher itself has no issues
it’s ur pc that is causing the issues.

Resxt

GLOYKB can you describe your problem better?
Also press win + r type winver and screenshot the window that pops up.

And yes everyone who says the launcher doesn't work and believe the software is at fault is wrong and has no idea what he's saying. If you run an OS that's not supported then it obviously won't work

Dss0

Resxt he said he's on win11.

GLOYKB i don't see the word "degenerate" used anywhere. You forgot to mention what the actual issue is in your post, does the launcher just not start? Does it display an error message? If yes post a screenshot of it.

Have you also installed these?

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

GLOYKB maybe you got special unicode characters in the name of your PC?
Characters such as š,đ,č,ć and ž, and lots of characters in French, Portuguese, Spanish and so on cannot be recognized, and would be registered as empty rectanges or bunch of question marks.

hindercanrun

@ivanovich_ same for emojis?

ljave018

hindercanrun I think so.

GLOYKB

Resxt - removed because it shows your email, windows 11 v21h2 - fine -
when i try opening the exe nothing happens

GLOYKB

Dss0 sorry you're right the exact word degenerate wasn't used ill make sure to be much more specific with my next issue.... anyways when i open the exe to install the launcher nothing happens.

GLOYKB

hindercanrun thats the entire issue, theres not even an error msgs

Dss0

GLOYKB try to start the launcher then search for "event viewer" in the windows start menu, open it and go to windows logs -> application. Check if any errors came up that are related to the launcher, highlight them and screenshot all the details it displays on the bottom of the window.

GLOYKB ok, a strange crash related to fonts. Try this:

Search for "services" via the windows start menu and open it
Look for "Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0" in the list of services
Right click the service -> stop, if it's already stopped just skip to the next step
Look for "Windows Font Cache Service" in the list of services
Right click the service -> stop, if it's already stopped just skip to the next step
Hit Windows Key + R and paste this into the run box that comes up:

%windir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache

Hit Enter and a folder should open
In this folder delete all the DAT files ("DAT File" listed as the file type)
Go to C:\Windows\System32 and delete "FNTCACHE.DAT"
Restart your PC and try again

If it still doesn't work:

Open the start menu and search for "cmd"
Right click cmd -> run as administrator
Copy and paste (right click) each command below one by one in the cmd and press enter after each command
Only put the next command when the one you ran is finished.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

Once it's done restart your PC and try again

GLOYKB

Did all of the above and still no fix

Dss0

GLOYKB do you have any custom fonts installed? Is your system font the default one?

GLOYKB

Dss0 default font

Dss0

GLOYKB then i'm out of ideas

hindercanrun

GLOYKB have you updated ur pc to latest

GLOYKB

hindercanrun wow man i really dont know what plutonium would do without you

FragsAreUs

I personally would check to see if your install is not corrupted in some way.

if you can do a

sfc /scannow and or DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

In a admin command prompt or powershell

as I play on windows 11 and I don't have this issue and it seems as dsso said a unique crash

Plutonium

literally nothing works
