If you’ve downloaded the game from Steam, make sure you have the app of the mode you want to play installed. Search your Steam library for “Black Ops II”, there should be 3 apps for it.

If you have the mode installed and the problem still occurs, then restart Steam and repair the mode’s game files: https://plutonium.pw/docs/repair/

If you have attempted to repair game files but it still doesn’t work, check that the folder you selected in the Plutonium launcher is actually the folder which Steam is currently using for the game by comparing the paths.

For checking the selected folder in the Plutonium launcher, follow either of these:
- Open the launcher, select the game, click “Game Settings”, and check the “Game Path”.
- Go to %localappdata%\Plutonium and open config.json, then check the path set for "t6Path".
For opening the folder Steam uses for the mode: right-click the mode from your Steam library > Manage > Browse local files.

If none of the previous suggestions have worked, follow this:

Exit out of Steam and make sure it’s no longer running. Closing Steam’s window isn’t enough to shut it down.
Delete the game’s appmanifest files by going to your Steam directory where you installed the game and then to your steamapps directory. The following are the appmanifest files for BO2:
- appmanifest_202970.acf
- appmanifest_202990.acf
- appmanifest_212910.acf
You should find at least one of those files in your steamapps folder. Don’t worry if one or two of those files don’t exist.
Reopen Steam. The game’s mode should now appear as uninstalled when you check it on your game library and should now say “install” instead of “play”.
- If the mode doesn’t appear as uninstalled after doing the previous steps, restart your PC.
Click the “install” button for the mode. This will verify the integrity of the installed files and will install any missing files that weren’t originally installed.
