Everything works except the final focus/input issue.</p>
<ol>
<li>Open two Plutonium instances</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Launch two separate instances of Plutonium in LAN mode.</p>
<p dir="auto">Use two different Plutonium accounts, one for each instance.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li>Start a Private Match</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Once both instances are open, create/join a Private Match.</p>
<p dir="auto">Choose one of the instances as the host and load into the game normally.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li>Connect the second instance</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Once the game has fully loaded in the first instance, open the console in the second instance.</p>
<p dir="auto">Enter:</p>
<p dir="auto">connect hostname:4976 (noticed is 4977 for Bo2 Zombies)</p>
<p dir="auto">For example, my computer hostname is msi, so I use:</p>
<p dir="auto">connect msi:4976</p>
<p dir="auto">You can find your hostname by opening CMD and typing:</p>
<p dir="auto">hostname</p>
<p dir="auto">The name displayed there is the hostname you should use.</p>
<ol start="4">
<li>Both players are now connected</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">At this point, both Plutonium instances can be in the same game.</p>
<p dir="auto">In my case, I have also managed to get:</p>

5. The only remaining problem: focus</p>
<p dir="auto">The last remaining step is the Windows focus issue.</p>
<p dir="auto">Both instances can be placed in windowed mode, but when I interact with one window, the other loses focus and stops receiving its input.</p>
<p dir="auto">So the final goal is:</p>
<p dir="auto">Everything else is already working. The only thing left to solve is getting both instances to accept input without requiring the active Windows focus.</p>
<p dir="auto">If someone knows how it would be awesome.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you.</p>

I also tried downloading the .exe separately and placing it in the game folder, but since BO2 is launched through Plutonium, I couldn’t get it to work.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ve heard that Nucleus Co-Op only works with the official version of BO2. Could you elaborate on how you managed to get it working with the Plutonium version?</p>
