Invalid game folder

[CyberNyran]

There was a call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 giant update and it deleted a bunch of important files or changed the .exe and other files I need for the Plutonium mod to work, thankfully I can still play MW2, WAW and BO2 (But I had to update the entire IW4X using the IW4X launcher and that overwrote files but MW3, isnt working.
Error files and file problems 'AIL_set_redist_directory@4 from module 'mss32.dll'

Possibly that mss32.dll needs updating perhaps.

DirkRockface yeah I had to downgrade the game version and now it works

[DirkRockface]

ohfrankyboy well, that and select the correct folder

glad to hear the downgrade worked for you!!!

[Toothless69]

will the plutonium devs fix this?

[ZomStalgia]

hopefully this gets fixed soon, i enjoy playing iw5 on plutonium, but its not so amazing that i'll go thru the trouble of downgrading.

Talk about timing, i just downloaded this program because i missed MW2 RSE bots and such and now im trying to play this... and i see that only a couple of hours ago they updated this stuff and now its broken...

Stolen from a unfinished guide written by INeedGames

You will have to copy paste the url into either you browser or press win+r and paste in there

Open the Steam Console, you can click this to open it: steam://open/console

Now to download the older 32bit IW5 game files, you can do the following commands:

download_depot 42680 42682 6067691797475126381
download_depot 42680 42683 6381783964590594065

this will download the English IW5 32bit content

Image
Downloaded files will be in <YOUR STEAM FOLDER>\steamapps\content\app_*\ folder (as indicated in the console output)

You will have to merge the depot folders all into a single folder,

Here I will choose to merge everything into the depot_42682 folder,
which means I will be cutting and pasting the files inside of the depot_42683 folder into the depot_42682 folder.

First highlight all the files in the folder, right click them and select Cut.

Then go into the folder you want to merge everything into (in my case its depot_42682 as stated before), right click and select Paste

You will likely be prompted to merge folders, confirm with Yes

Repeat this process for all depots you have downloaded
Once all depot folders have been merged into one, you will have complete game files ready to be used with Plutonium

You can choose to move and rename the merged folder (my case its depot_42682), here I will move it to my Desktop folder and rename it to MW3

Just to confirm, inside of my MW3 folder, I will find all the of game files
