Who is this download for?

This download is for anyone who wants to download Plutonium for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 the easiest way possible.

Is this a virus?

No viruses here, although Windows SmartScreen (the big blue thing) may pop up. Proceed anyways. Don't believe me? Check out the virus report.

Do I need Call of Duty: Black Ops 2?

No. The app has the option to install Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for you, if you don't already have it.

I already have Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on Steam

If you already have Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on Steam, then the app will use that installation instead.
And don't worry, Plutonium doesn't alter any game files so you can easily switch between Plutonium and Steam without doing anything!

However, if you don't have all the DLC on Steam, then you may want to consider some piracy. This could be done by choosing the Non-Steam option to download files you are missing or by checking out this post.

I just need to update my game

If you just need to update your game, you can just select the Steam option. It doesn't matter if you have the Steam version or not.

The installation was successful but I'm getting issues

It is likely that the issue you are receiving is a Plutonium issue; not an installer issue.

The most likely reason is because you do not have the latest version of DirectX 11. If you're not sure that you have the latest version, download it here.

Please check out the FAQ and Common Issues to find a solution. If none could be found, then post your problem below.

Are there any command arguments?

Yes. If you want to make your installation process more automatic, then you can use the command arguments found here.

Open source?

Of course, here's the source.

I don't think it's even possible.

It would be nice to see aim assist in Zombies. It's not like it affects anyone and it seems like it's just a console command that we don't have access to.

I usually always use mouse and keyboard - it's way better. But my excuse is different. I was recently diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel so I'm limiting my mouse usage (feels bad man) for the time being.

Perhaps in the future, you could add a launch argument for the Plutonium Launcher, like "-t6z" to automatically launch Black Ops 2 zombies? If that's possible of course. I'm not sure what you used to make the Launcher.

@dankdabs115 said in No voices in zombie:

its has been a problem since the launch of plutonium and idk why its hasn't been fixed

My friend who installed it through piry.exe doesn't have this issue. I installed it through Steam and have this voice bug, as well as non-localised text in DLC maps.

@Dss0 I agree that two lines of text is the minimum you should expect from a mod. It's not supposed to be a single click install like most games.

Sure, you'll have people that won't read it simply because they can't be bothered reading at all (these people are just not fit). But that's not everyone. You will also have people that will put some effort in reading it. And you'll have others that put even more effort in it. Everyone has different limits and you should try to get as many people as possible. I would like to think any improvement will help bring in just a few more people.

They have definitely been some guides in the past that had so much text that I just thought "nope".

Do you know why IW4x decided to provide links instead of downloading the files through the app?

@FragsAreUs The Changelog is not easy to read.

The first several lines are useless to a new user. You're wasting their time and losing their attention.

Plutonium T6 has been updated to r791!
We have rewritten the client with a new codebase made from scratch.
Expect slow download speeds for the first day as everyone will be downloading.

Changes:

Piry.exe is no longer used, The Plutonium Launcher (Plutonium.exe) is used instead.
Plutonium.exe will be used to authenticate your forum user account and launch the game.
AntiCheat has been enabled. (This is the same anticheat as IW5, as always it won't catch everything but should help.)
Various crashes and exploits have been fixed.
Unlock All is now done by opening the console and typing unlockall You do not need to restart.
ServerList is now opened by pressing F10 or Home.
Discord Rich Presence has been added.
You now start the game with the Plutonium Launcher (plutonium.exe) which auto checks for updates when it starts, getting you up to date. Do not use t6rmp.exe or t6rzm.exe!

How to update:

Browse to http://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe and download the file. If your web browser blocks the download or removes it then you will need to tell your web browser to ignore the detection and keep the file. When asked in the launcher to select a folder, select your Bo2 folder.

And then the line after that is:

I don't have Black Ops 2 installed???

But at no point after that does it even say what to download if you already have BO2 installed from Steam. Sure, you could assume that you need a file called 'plutonium.exe' but to even get that file, you need to go to the I dont have Black Ops 2 installed??? heading, which they wouldn't have read because you told them not to.

There are paragraphs. It's ideal to split paragraphs into lists as it makes it easier to read (for instructions)
The error solutions are so close to the end of the installation guide, that users may just think it's part of the guide and just think "ugh. so much text. cba".
Spacing is awful.

All in all, terrible UX for a download page. As a Changelog page, it's fine.

@FragsAreUs I'm referring to the download button on the Plutonium website. The download button all users will see when they Google "plutonium".

The image implies the user is coming from Discord. As a user, why would you join a Discord server before installing the app? That makes no sense.

@FragsAreUs Yes I agree that that post is helpful. I wrote this thread before knowing that page existed. But as I said, (I'm not sure if this is intended,) that post is not what is given to users when they press the Download button. You can only find that page when you go to the forums (which isn't ideal - who would check the forums for basic install instructions?).

When users press the Download button, they are sent to the Changelog page - which isn't layed out nicely and has way too much useless info (for new users).
