Launcher system requirements:

• Windows 8.1, Windows 10 version 1607 or windows 11
• Graphics card that supports DirectX 11 (on a hardware level)

Common Issues & Solutions:

Issue: Launcher does not respond when trying to start it (or says MSVCP140.dll is missing):
Solution: Install the following runtimes (also mind the system requirements on top of this post!):
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net472-web-installer
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Issue: Invalid login details/Account not found
Solution: Usernames are case-sensitive, make sure to enter the exact same username and password you use on the forums.

Issue: Play Button does not appear after selecting game directory, Setup Button remains
Solution: The file path to your game directory can not contain special characters (for example ó, ú, ñ, œ or similar).

Issue: After pressing the Play Button the launcher disappears but the game does not start
Possible Solutions:

• Download and run this: https://git.io/redists
• Follow this guide https://plutonium.pw/docs/antivirus/ to exclude Pluto from scanning in your Antivirus
• If you use mcaffee or any other highly intrusive antivirus software uninstall it.

Issue: 0x000007b when attempting to start the launcher or game
Possible Solutions:

• Make sure you meet the system requirements on top of this post and downloaded the game files either through Steam or our installation guide. Third party repacks aren't supported and may cause this error, so delete your game files if they're from a repack and follow our installation guide.
• Download and run this: https://git.io/redists
• Follow this guide https://plutonium.pw/docs/antivirus/ to exclude Pluto from scanning in your Antivirus
• If you use reshade remove it, reshade is no longer supported by plutonium and causes this error.

Issue: Could not authenticate to Plutonium: snowroller uninitialized

OR

Error: Handshake: certificate verify failed

Solution: This error occurs when you are trying to launch an outdated version of Plutonium. However, this should not happen if you are launching the game via Plutonium.exe which checks for updates on each launch. So if you are starting the launcher via plutonium-launcher-win32.exe please do not. Launch via plutonium.exe

Issue: GPUDriverD3D11::CreateTexture, unable to create texture.
Possible Solution:

Issue: When starting the launcher it displays this error message:

Solution:

• If you downloaded one of our torrents remove it from your torrent client (right click the torrent in your torrent client -> delete)
• Restart your pc
• Delete plutonium.exe and plutonium.new.exe
• Re-download the launcher from here and run it: https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe

because activision would sue us instantly.

we're currently experiencing issues with our backend, we're working on solving it. no eta tho.

@VonF02 MSVP140.dll is a DLL from Microsoft you're missing, it is essential to play the client.

https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Please install BOTH. You need the x86 variant for x86 applications (the game) and the x64 variant for x64 applications (the launcher). Links were obtained from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

@Lionhearted1928 he's not being a dick, there is no such command. Also good advice on the usage of injectors in online mode. You would need a mod to give yourself points and we don't distribute mods, they are community made (check bo2 mod release section on the forum, maybe such thing already exists).

@benhelps @Minasteritt thanks guys, yea seeing a lot of entitlement these past days. Sure t5 release wasn't perfect but we're not sitting there idle, every free minute our devs have they are working on fixing the bugs. Unfortunately they aren't robots who have nothing else but pluto development going on in their lives.

Can't forget that this project is still a hobby for us, we work on it in our free time.

Anyways much love to all who understand and continue to support us

@Pillow-Princess they can patch all they want, if all RCEs are fixed clientside there's nothing they can do.

@lAndrewTatel https://plutonium.pw/docs/repair/

@Ron3x so change the directory by clicking "game settings" next to the play button.

@Kemia 3_cursor3 also exists in waw, it means you're missing game files. https://plutonium.pw/docs/repair/

@d0cc71 said in I GOT BAN FOR NO REASON:

how can i unban my acc

by waiting.

@GamerV which version of windows are you using? are you trying to play in a VM? which antivirus are you using?

@Feras115 campaign will crash because we never implemented support for it but it won't get you banned. Using injectors will get you banned.

@Pafel covered here https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/6832/common-launcher-issues-solutions

@CIVALWARRIOR any error messages?

@CjDub09 ok so your dedicated.cfg needs to be in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t6. Is it?
