ERR9R

i got plutonium to run on ubuntu20.04 but i cant add a directory for bo2 mp/zm, it always just says "the selection contains a non-folder object", ive had it running before but i had to reinstall ubuntu and now i cant get it working again

Nawa When using yay, it still asks you for root priviliges using sudo when you start it, since you can not modify /usr/bin or /bin without root privileges

Sakul

ERR9R yeah I have that exact same issue, can't select the plutonium folder.

Nawa

ve4k yes thats correct, but shouldnt run yay with sudo, only when installing into /usr/bin

So, two things with the Lutris installer:

There's a typo; act_x64 instead of xact_x64 for the dependency.
The lutris prefix made doesn't seem to work? Running it through Lutris causes BO2 to crash with a vague DirectX-related error. But if I run the same prefix simply through the command line (WINEPREFIX="/same/path/to/LutrisPrefix" wine "/path/to/plutonium.exe") then it works fine - or at least, as well as it can through Wine if we ignore the mouse sensitive being all kinds of fucked.

Any thoughts?

I usually replace the t6mp.exe with the plutonium updater so when I launch the game through steam it tracks hours and loads pluto... it would be so much easier if pluto would drop the stupid launcher in support for something similar to how IW4X works and just has the game load straight through there own .exe file. for IW4X I rename the launcher and replace iw4mp.exe loads perfect no hassle plutonium is the hassle for me on linux.

This worked for like 2 months but when this new update rolled out I can still get to the launcher but when I click play for t6 plutonium just stops I dont know what to do

TheDantee

woly Been trying to also fix this for days no luck

woly

TheDantee yeah im sure its the update because I was playing like an hour early before the update rolled out then it stopped working

TheDantee

woly looks the devs are working on it from the what I was told in the discord.

The lutris community installer isn't working but i seem to be able to open up the plutonium launcher in wine just fine. When i go to launch bo2 multiplayer or zombies it immediately freezes and i waited a while but nothing happened. Anyone know how i can get that working?

woly A fix for the problem is rolling out soon. The last update broke wine support for Plutonium.

zoog

how long will this take? really looking forward to playing.

woly

Much appreciated Been bored not being able to play plutonium for like a week Thanks

woly

Potato_ When you launch bo2 and nothing happens happens to everyone on wine right now until wine gets fixed

Has anyone had luck launching WaW mods when using Plutonium? In my case the game closes as if it is going to relaunch after selecting a mod, but it never relaunches. Launching mods without running the game through Plutonium works fine.
