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Solution: This error occurs when you are trying to launch an outdated version of Plutonium.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.

This post has been moved to our new documentation, click here to view.

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

@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

@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).

@HOWARD1031J why are you posting this here? Create your own topic. Also your issue is covered here: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/6832/common-launcher-issues-solutions

@GLOYKB unfortunately i have been unsuccessful in reproducing this issue, i set up a win11 vm yesterday to test the launcher.. works just fine.

@Tajoo47 does that mean that nothing happens after you hit the play button? If yes that issue is covered here https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/6832/common-launcher-issues-solutions

@GLOYKB then i'm out of ideas

@GLOYKB do you have any custom fonts installed? Is your system font the default one?

@GLOYKB ok, a strange crash related to fonts. Try this:

1. Search for "services" via the windows start menu and open it
2. Look for "Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0" in the list of services
3. Right click the service -> stop, if it's already stopped just skip to the next step
4. Look for "Windows Font Cache Service" in the list of services
5. Right click the service -> stop, if it's already stopped just skip to the next step
6. Hit Windows Key + R and paste this into the run box that comes up:

%windir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache

7. Hit Enter and a folder should open
8. In this folder delete all the DAT files ("DAT File" listed as the file type)
9. Go to C:\Windows\System32 and delete "FNTCACHE.DAT"
10. Restart your PC and try again

If it still doesn't work:

1. Open the start menu and search for "cmd"
2. Right click cmd -> run as administrator
3. Copy and paste (right click) each command below one by one in the cmd and press enter after each command
   Only put the next command when the one you ran is finished.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

4. Once it's done restart your PC and try again

@GLOYKB try to start the launcher then search for "event viewer" in the windows start menu, open it and go to windows logs -> application. Check if any errors came up that are related to the launcher, highlight them and screenshot all the details it displays on the bottom of the window.

@Fckyoshiiit you launch the game via the launcher, the folder you have to select in the launcher should be the one containing your game files. If you're still confused maybe post screenshots of the game settings in the launcher and your game folder.

@Resxt he said he's on win11.

@GLOYKB i don't see the word "degenerate" used anywhere. You forgot to mention what the actual issue is in your post, does the launcher just not start? Does it display an error message? If yes post a screenshot of it.

Have you also installed these?

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

@sKyL0 yea we're gonna need a bit more info than that. Any error messages?

@gertthedevil bei "ip addresse im internet" sollte eigentlich nichts eingetragen sein. das würde bedeuten, das der port nur für verbindungen die von der da eingetragenen ip kommen offen steht.
Dein provider vergibt meines wissens nach schon echte ipv4's, das sollte nicht das problem sein.
