Plutonium

We've decided to extend the deadline by two more weeks. Link a Steam account before the 16th of September!

Hi everyone,

For the past few months, we've been hard at work improving infrastructure and various non-game related services such as the forum. This has allowed us to erase a lot of technical debt, and we’re now ready to introduce ownership verification like we set out to do in late May. It’s not going to happen overnight, and we’re going to start with server owners.

Roadmap

Starting next week (on the 21st), only accounts that have verified ownership will be able to create new server keys, and only for the games that’ve been verified for that Plutonium account. Existing keys will continue to work until the end of August the 16th of September, after which we'll prune all unverified keys, so make sure to verify your account in time to avoid interruptions.

Verifying ownership

There’re currently two methods of verifying game ownership:

Verifying on the forum:

1. Make sure your Steam profile is public, both "My profile" and "Game details" need to be set to public during the verification process.
2. Head to https://forum.plutonium.pw/me/edit and press “Click here to associate with Steam”.
3. Login to your Steam account and follow the instructions, you should be redirected back to the forum.
4. Click “Steam Games” on the left navigation bar (https://forum.plutonium.pw/me/steam-games) and verify that all your games have been detected. If no games are listed, make sure your profile is public and press the sync button.

OR

Verifying using the launcher:

1. Make sure Steam is running and that you’re logged in on the correct account.
2. Open a fully updated Plutonium launcher.
3. Open “Game Settings” for the game you want to verify and click the “Verify Ownership” button on the right. Repeat this step for all games you want to verify.
4. Go to https://forum.plutonium.pw/me/steam-games and verify that all your games have been verified.

So, what do I need to do?

If you’re just a player, nothing just yet. We’re doing this staggered rollout to ensure our verification strategy works as intended, and so that we can make the transition as smooth as possible.

If you’re a server owner, make sure to verify ownership for all games that you host servers on, and do it before the end of this month to ensure no downtime and additional hassle.

FAQ

Is family sharing allowed?

• Yes, game copies obtained through family sharing will work using the launcher method, as long as the logged in Steam account hasn’t been linked to any other Plutonium account. Only share your copy with people you trust, since any abusive actions performed by them will affect you as the original owner too.

I’m VAC banned on Steam, does this mean I can’t use that account?

• No, we don’t check VAC status.

I own the games across multiple Steam accounts, what do I do?

• You can link multiple Steam accounts, using either of the two methods.

Do I have to own the DLCs?

• No.

Do the 'Dedicated Server' variants qualify as verification?

• No, you have to verify the actual base game.

Don't know what to tell you, you literally aren't banned.

@TheeGamerMaster said in not to be rude but i liked the previous look of the forum page :

The old theme of the forums by the way is the same as Opera's Forums. Just letting you know.

No it wasn't, Opera's theme is closed source made by themselves https://community.nodebb.org/topic/11541/opera-theme

The old theme we used has been unmaintained for 3 years, and was incompatible with newer versions of NodeBB. This current one is the new default and surely has its issues and annoyances, but there aren't any better ones either

Try again now, should be fixed.

This ban is on the staging environment, and seems to have been caused during unrelated backend testing on that environment. I've lifted the ban but please use the regular production builds to prevent things like this from happening in the future!

Microsoft is notorious for silently dropping emails, even if they are legit and use proper security features. This is something that has plagued us for a long time, but we have something in the pipeline that hopefully improves deliverability without costing a fortune.

Make sure the clock is correct and synced on your server.

Nabi2000 Make sure the clock is synced on your server.

Back in April of 2023, we released GH3 as an April Fools joke. Since then we've refined it somewhat, and added support for World Tour.

Follow these steps to play:

1. Ensure you have a pre-existing install of the game you want to play, either vanilla or modded.

2. Download Plutonium GH3 or Plutonium GHWT.

3. Copy the file to your game folder.

4. Rename the file to either d3d9.dll or dinput8.dll (.dll being the file extension, if the file was simply called plutonium-gho-gh3, you'd rename it to d3d9).

5. Launch the game like your normally would, and create a new account (the "License" field doesn't matter).

A few notes:

• Leaderboards for the retail setlists should track and work, as long as you are logged in when playing.
• Usernames can be shorter than what the game indicates, 3 is the minimum limit.
• The same account can be used for both games, you don't need to create one for each.
• Do not try to log in with your Plutonium Forum account, the accounts for these games are not tied to the Forum!

@WeedLikeToSmoke said in pluto discord ban:

he couldve just let me say what i wanted to and went about his day

With that logic we shouldn't moderate anything. You have no right to say what you want.

when the staff member is escalating it aswell

You're the one who told me "snowflakes ass bitch" after a mute, yet staff is escalating??

I called out your argument and was typing up a longer response but didn't bother after seeing your reaction and your continued other rule breaks (like shitposting in other channels for which you had even been warned for earlier), so I ended up just muting you and was literally about to "go about my day" when you had to talk yourself into a ban in DMs, so congrats I guess!

Seems like a false-positive related to the Steam Deck, we're investgating and have lifted the ban.
