H3X1C Indeed, well the software was recommended to me by a friend that works as security, the program never wronged me before,
Regardless, I've marked the thread as Solved, if it's any bit of help, feel free to use any info from this thread for your FAQ.
H3X1C Ah yes, i uninstalled Sophos and restarted my PC and i can launch the game, windows defender currently in use and causing no conflicts so i guess there is an 80% chance it was my antivirus, even though it was disabled and the folder/plutonium bootstrapper was whitelisted,
Thanks for your time and assistance!
H3X1C Yes, i am sure it is disabled
The only program close to that would be Driver booster, i've uninstalled it and tried launching the game but the issue persists
H3X1C
Thanks for the reply,
I am using Sophos
It is the only antivirus, yes
the I've added the game folder as an exception
HannesC Yeah figured as much just want to give as much info as possible, thanks for trying though!
HannesC The bootstrapper never closes without an error, the launcher behind it does however
cirno Thanks for the tip!
Steam was open but i'm still facing the same issue :P..
purah Thanks for the suggestion!
Unfortunately, putting the launcher outside the game folder, making sure the game path is correct did not fix my issue, the game still simply will not open..

Hey,
Yes, i have.
Thanks for reminding me will add to the list of attempted fixes
Hello!
So, i followed the instructions on how to update the game, i have the base files already downloaded from steam, i launched plutonium.exe that was placed in the game folder, i logged in, selected the game path and pressed play, a command prompt opened and the launcher closed after a few seconds but the game didn't start up and all that was on screen was this:
NOTE: The bootstrapper never gives an error nor does it close, it just stays open, while using approx. 7-8% of my CPU
Steps i already tried:
I reinstalled the game, relaunched plutonium,
I Made an exception for plutonium in my antivirus,
I disabled my antivirus,
I made an exception in my firewall just in case,
Ran the program as admin,
Moved the launcher outside of the game folder and making sure the game path is correct,
Used VPN when running the game ,
Followed the latest guide located here: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/965/bo2-readme,
Went to %appdata%, deleted the plutonium folder and re-ran the launcher,
Made sure WDefender is fully disabled,
Uninstalled any of these programs that might be installed: SONAR RADAR, SONAR STUDIO, GAMERSFIRST IV, NAHIMIC, ADVANCED SYSTEMCARE ULTIMATE, PREMIER OPINION ,
Here's also the directory that the game is installed in:
Here's the launcher window:
SOLVED: At the end of the day, i have found out my Sophos anti-virus was to blame, even though i whitelisted plutonium and excluded the folder, even went as far as disabled the whole antivirus, the only solution to my problem was to fully uninstall it!
