Bootstrapper Issue

[Chase]

Ahmad52 Do you have any other antivirus installed? It could be that messing with it. I've known McAfee to not let the game start.

[Ahmad52]

I wish I did, that would be a quick fix but no I only have windows defender

[Dss0]

Ahmad52 is the game still downloading or seeding in qbittorrent? (i noticed it's running in your screenshot). Try removing it from there.

Can you pls post screenshots of:

• Your game folder
• Your defender exclusion settings

[Ahmad52]

No that was a separate torrent download, The plutonium file finished downloading, Sure !

[Dss0]

Ahmad52 you are launching plutonium (2).exe right? Delete plutonium.exe and rename plutonium (2).exe to plutonium.exe.

[Ahmad52]

I did that and the game still doesn't launch, I also have this error whenever I launch the launcher Idk if it has anything to do with this but in the case that it does, here. Also the launcher proceeds to launch in LAN mode, could that be anything?

Try changing your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or use a VPN. Ahmad52

[Ahmad52]

doing so fixed the crash error but the game still fails to launch...

[HannesC]

Like you hit Play and it crashes? Assuming you already followed Dss0's instructions in the beginning of the thread, it's probably your antivirus. What AV do you use?

[Ahmad52]

The launcher launches the bootstrapper and the bootstrapper remains clear without launching the game, no crashes, no errors. I dont have an antivirus and my windows defenders exclusions include the plutonium file, I have a vpn enabled and disabled and eitherway it doesnt launch the game the bootstraper just ramins clear

[Ahmad52]

What do you mean dude the launcher wouldn't work without the localappdata plutonium folder

[Dss0]

Ahmad52 it would re-download the clientfiles, i doubt that is the issue here tho.
Try using a vpn if you have one, still seems like a network related issue.

[Ahmad52]

I am currently using a vpn, so should I delete the client files at %localappdata%?

[Ahmad52]

Im using a vpn, I uninstalled the files at %localappdata%, and wdym uninstall the client? You mean download the entire torrent file again? I already did that 3 times bruuhhhhhhhh

[Ahmad52]

I already did that more than 10 times now

[HannesC]

Can you post a screenshot of the apps that are currently running in the background? It's likely one of them are clashing with Pluto. Especially overlays and stuff.

[Ahmad52]

Please keep in mind that the file size is prob smaller as I am yet to run the game on this device. Also I tried restarting my pc and turning off any extra startup apps to see if that helps but it's all the same

[HannesC]

Ahmad52 MPC HC? Try quitting/disabling it and then launch pluto again? Also are you sure you don't have any other AVs besides defender?

maxneed Don't hijack threads, Windows 7 isn't supported. Upgrade to Windows 10
