Plutonium

Im running t6 plutonium on linux and it stopped working after changing distros. Plutonium launcher launches but when I hit play the cli opens and quickly exits. I captured the output.

I verified the files and on my friends machine its working with the same setup. It also works when I first run it but after closing the game it doesnt anymore. I tried removing the Plutonium folder in AppData but it doesnt help. I verified that the files in the game dir are unchanged.

Pluto cli log:

Plutonium r5278 > 

I got this output by manually running proton. For some reason running manually causes it to not immediately close after printing the output. When I run it through steam it closes so fast I sometimes cant see the output at all

messiah please share. Im having the same issue but for both zm and mp

Limit your fps to 250. The problems are mentioned if you hover over the "max frames per second" option in the game

Xerxes I think nowadays plutonium is so well known that reselling it wouldnt really work

I have the same issue. The console launches but doesnt print anything, then after about 2 seconds it just exits. Im on linux and it worked a few days ago
