Mr. Android said in RUNNING IW5 DOESNT WORK:

Cheers rekt. Nasako - upgrade to Windows 10. Windows 7 is at End Of Life and is a security risk.

I have all updates installed and this guy using Windows 10, so you can't be sure it's due to Windows 7
And even if it's due to that, you have to figure something out to solve this. If you guys want to have stable popular mw3 community, people aren't going to change to Windows 10 just to run a game

Question: What are the Microsoft visual c++ runtime versions this game needs exactly? OR Net Framework versions as well that some users might not have?

Mr. Android im having the same issue. i notice in the mw3 folder, steam_api.dll keeps getting deleted. only happens after launching pluto. my virus protection isnt deleting and running exclusions isnt working for me.

[Mr. Android]

Nasako No - we will not support an EOL OS. End of story, we don't care if that means less players. We won't support bad security practices, the whole idea of Pluto is so you don't have to use vulnerable OS's and games to enjoy MW3 and BO2.

Plenty of people with Windows 10 also don't have the problem, one of our staff has a Windows 2008 (win 7 based) server with the same problem and upgrading to Windows server 2016 (win 8 ) or windows server 2019 f(win 10 based) fixed the problem.

OpenSLL seems to be the core problem, and on windows server they stopped updating.. because it's EOL.

Jhank I'll aim to troubleshoot OpenSLL with you either today or tomorrow.

[Mr. Android]

IRYN Thats fine - we delete it as we emulate it internally instead and if it stayed there it would interfere. Are you running windows 10? If so I can troubleshoot with you and Jank in DM's in the next day or so.

[draqovch]

Mr. Android glad to know that honestly. and yes im on windows 10. and if u could help me out tomorrow that would sweeet

[Mr. Android]

IRYN I'll try my best, Jank can confirm i really do try

I understand, I narrowed down options and fixed the problem anyway,

[Mr. Android]

Nasako Would you mind explaining how so others can potentially fix it too? Well done by the way. Hope you enjoy the game.

Question: What are the Microsoft visual c++ runtime versions this game needs exactly? OR Net Framework versions as well that some users might not have?

Well, the problem was obviously related to my PC/Windows files, as I tried the game on another PC with the same files and it worked.
I thought I had all my windows files updated, they were not
So updated them and worked.

I don't know which one exactly might be one the net framework missing or outdated - OR this visual c++ runtime

[Mr. Android]

Nasako Thanks very much bud.
