Qu1ck808 ?? why are you trying to upload a .docx file?

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 trying to show you screenshots of the files. I noticed that when I'm in the Plutonium launcher and load the BO2 files that only DirectX is visible in the redist file...?

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 not sure what you mean? just go to your game folder via windows explorer. there should be 2 vcredist setups and dxsetup in the directx folder. Try doing what the video i posted tells you to do first.

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 yes I followed what the video told me to do

[Qu1ck808]

Qu1ck808 So those other 3 files in the redist I have to run?

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 every .exe in the redist folder and all it's subfolders.

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0
.NETFramework.exe
VC_redist.x86.exe
vcredist_x86.exe

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 yes..... and directx/dxsetup.exe

also this one isn't included: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 Ok .NETFramework.exe says it wont run on my PC.

btw thanks for helping me out

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 which version of windows are you on?

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 10 Windows 10 home

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 well the launcher starts right? so .net should be fine. Strange that it says that tho, are you maybe using the very first version of win10 (1503)? If yes i would strongly advise upgrading to 1607 or later.

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 how do i check that

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 open the start menu and search for "cmd". Open cmd and run the command

winver

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 Ok it says "Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.508)

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 ok that's fine. so:

• install all other redist's
• install directx
• run the launcher as admin

If it still doesn't work after that post a screenshot of your defender exclusion settings.

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 Ok. So I followed those steps you laid out restarted my computer and the same problem occurred Plutonium launcher just closes no notification...

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0

Here are my redist files

[Acrillx]

Ok try disabling you anti virus thingy and then try launching it and see if it works thats what i did and then it worked fine

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 try also exluding plutonium.exe (should be in your game folder). If it still doesn't work try this aswell:

• go to windows security -> app & browser control -> exploit protection -> exploit protection settings
• turn off "randomize memory allocations (Bottom-up ASLR)"
