So i went to where you told me (Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application), and this is what i see:

No error log there as you can see, but I checked other logs in System and i found this, i dont know if its important or not:

It looks like this might be related to a GPU driver issue, right?

I'll try updating/reinstalling my NVIDIA drivers and test the game again.
I'll report back whether it crashes again or if the issue is resolved.

For reference, I was previously using driver version 591.74 (installed on January 5th), and I'm now updating to 595.97. I really thought my drivers were already up to date...

Thanks for your help!!

Please go to Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application and post the red Error from the crash time, especially the faulting module name.

Also fully exit the NVIDIA app itself for a test, not just its overlay, because Plutonium has had overlay-related crash issues before.

If possible, upload the .dmp somewhere and send the link, because the .txt alone is still too generic to pin down.

• Ive got no AV, just windows defender (ive already excluded the plutonium paths, the .exe and the games folders)
• Im playing with no Discord, Steam or similar applications with overlays. I just got the NVIDIA app but with the overlays off
• Ive already reinstalled plutonium launcher and the game a couple of times

Check the files and exclusions:

Ive just had right now the same issue at 20:37 playing online:

This are the Event Viewer logs nearest to that hour:

And this are the logs near that hour:

Updated Windows Defender status successfully to SECURITY_PRODUCT_STATE_ON.

So I'm honestly going crazy jajajaaja. I cant attach the file here because of the size because the only allowed types are: .png, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .iwi, .iwd, .jpeg. If needed, I can upload the .dmp file somewhere else and send a download link.

And thanks a lot!!!

Try this in order:

fully uninstall Norton/third-party AV for a test
add exclusions for BO2 and %localappdata%\Plutonium
disable/close all overlays and hook tools (Discord, Steam, GeForce, RTSS, ReShade, Overwolf, capture software)
check Event Viewer after the crash for the faulting module name
reinstall the Plutonium launcher clean

If it still crashes after that, the next useful thing is the .dmp file or an Event Viewer faulting module, because the txt alone isn’t enough to pin it down.
