how do you fix this? I've seen the post with common errors, but it's not there?
just to point out, i created a new folder with a backup of the game and installed the pluto launcher there.
also i had the original full multiplayer so i installed all the files. both for multiplayer and for dedicated server list.

I got this error yesterday when I was destroying my internet with multiple torrents. So it would be safe to say this could happen if your internet is under load or is in general unstable.

@H3X1C what? that's no help at all dude.
I don't have any torrents. I ran malwarebytes after downloading pluto every time.
I'm on fiber optics so my net is as stable as it gets.
I really don't know how to fix this cause there's no fix available yet.
Know anything that can help possibly?

@Slam try a VPN and see if that resolves the issue. If so it's your internet.

@H3X1C aight. i fixed it.
what i did was i just moved the original files from the steamapps folder instead of copying them and pasting.
