    Everytime I launch WAW it throws me to a black screen with a cursor until it eventually stops responding. I tried launching the game in windowed and fullscreen but still nothing. Everything else works flawlessly but this game.

      from where did u install the game? maybe ur pc specs are a bit "bad" and u just have to wait it out. i had a "bad" pc (radeon hd 5450 graphics card and some intel g450 processor) and i always had to wait about 2-5 minutes for the game to load but everything else worked fine after. if ur game isnt cracked, that might be the problem

          TMRyea I installed it on my main drive. My PC is running with a 1070 and 16gigs Ram. My cpu is a bit old though. I've tried waiting at least 5 minutes everytime. My game is cracked though.

                Make sure your game is closed before doing that.
                Go to %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t4\players
                Open the config file with the notepad to edit it.
                plutonium.cfg is for singleplayer/zombies and plutonium_mp.cfg is for multiplayer
                Change these 4 dvars to be like below (you can use ctrl+f to search for them)

                seta r_fullscreen "0"
                seta r_noborder "1"
                seta vid_xpos "0"
                seta vid_ypos "0"
                

                You should always play WAW in windowed borderless to avoid alt tab crashes and vid_restart crashes

                        unclepushy send the full path before the players folder to make sure you are at the right place

                        Try this in the console (wait a bit for it to take effect)
                        r_fullscreen "0"; r_noborder "1"; vid_restart
