Now I have problems!
-
I see problems with people having launcher trouble, and now I'm afraid to say I'm no different:
I have no clue what this means and I would like some guidance on how to fix it, or how I could've at least prevented it. I would just play with the alternative one, but if this program gets an update, that'll only mean I can play offline.
And unless I've done this wrong, Cloudflare WARP seems to not help this issue, but all I did was install and enable it (only paying attention to the 'your internet is PRIVATE' message); so that could be where I messed up. Assuming I live in the U.S though, I figured I wouldn't need a sort of VPN, and that was definitely true up until now possibly.

Do you have any AV which performs DPI or the like on your traffic?
-
I'm not entirely computer smart so at first, DPI sounded like mouse DPI, but of course under further technological speculation (looking it up but I say something else to act smart), I make a guess that you are talking about Deep Packet Inspection.
That being said, I use MalwareBytes.

Upon further inspection I noticed the idiot move I made.
I found out MalwareBytes was denying the website that downloads the Plutonium files, meaning I had to do the classic 'ol exception thing.
Where was this an idiot move? MalwareBytes once in a while allows users to try a full version of their program for 2 weeks, free trial, without backup payment. Me not thinking of it, I signed up for it back then, and realized just before making this post that it's protection level was increased, so sudden websites it doesn't recognize (like THIS one that must be a website due to downloading files from source) was flagging it.

Screenshot of what plutonium.exe tells me at my time, during downloading process, at time 11:02:23 PM after disabling "Web Protection" on AV MalwareBytes. Taking note that anytime Plutonium.exe determines an update without issue, signs the verification to confirm it should then start downloading new files.
