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Solution: This error occurs when you are trying to launch an outdated version of Plutonium.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:
Error: Your game is outdated (rXXXX against (rXXXX)
Solution: This is most likely caused due to you pinning the wrong part of the launcher to the task bar, or by using an old version of the launcher.
- Unpin Plutonium from your task bar.
- Delete your launcher and re-download.
- Make sure to pin that version before even opening it.
