Failed to check for updates

Dss0

Marty59 but if you re-download the launcher and use that new one to launch the game this error can't be occuring as the launcher is already the latest version so it doesn't need to update itself..

Dss0 thats what i tried to do and i got the same error

Dss0

Ostegoth that's simply not possible. If you delete all the launcher .exe's you have and re-download it from here: https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe it's not possible for you to get that error as that launcher .exe is already the latest version.

-Restart your PC.
-Make sure T6 torrent is not seeding
-Delete plutonium.exe and plutonium.new.exe
-Redownload a clean copy of the launcher https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe
Issue should be resolved.

@HI-guys this is most likely caused by your antivirus https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/8546/why-is-my-antivirus-saying-plutonium-is-a-virus-solution
Simply restart your pc if it doesn't let you delete it.

Dss0 There was a bug with the new launcher file I downloaded. Now everything works perfectly.

Thank you for your quick reply.

H3X1C why does it take a long time to seed ?

Dss0

Xyrogs seeding means it's done and now uploading to other people, that's how torrents work. You can stop it as soon as it says seeding or remove it from the torrent client.
