Plutonium

Nevermind, apparently the game goes schizo without &

I think the & is overkill since KILLSTREAK is not a localized string.

Burgerkiss What do we expect anyone to do with as little information you provide with your post?

JZanonymous Please acknowledge the existence of the docs site with all of this information.

How did you come to the conclusion it crashes because you use cg_fovScale 1.5?

HOOKEEL Looks like someone isn't following the guide: https://plutonium.pw/docs/install

If you still have issues open a new thread.

Try reading the guide slowly and carefully.

Dixon_el mafioso Cat stepped on the keyboard?

I could, but you should get ready to wait for the ban to expire, should be 7 days if it is your first ban.

You don't own your name unfortunately

Will it give me infinite money IRL?

it's safe to say they will soon run out of game bugs to exploit.

It means you should reinstall your operating system if you installed one of those unofficial Windows ISOs. Other than that your windows is broken so the fix is still to reinstall your operating system.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

Can you show a video of what happened to you?

@KutaG59 Unfortunately, it's not about modifying game files; it's about modifying game memory.
You don't need external software to display FPS since the game already has built-in support for that.
In the worst-case scenario, and taking OP's claim at face value, Riva Tuner could have done something that a cheat does as well and got detected as such. Since I'm not an admin I can't help but I suggest you don't try to evade the ban and wait it out.

Yeah, that's true. We should try to write our official Plutonium tutorial for Linux. As I mentioned, I only reference this guide and the other one in this forum section when I forget how to export wine arch for example.
Pretty sure in the end I only run 10% of the commands in this tutorial .

Considering the server (game) only has two relevant logical threads: the main thread and the game thread, it still doesn't make much sense to me. If the system isn't busy it should quite never switch a process between cores. Even so, then why you are giving the game more cores if you intend to stop that behaviour?
The OP said it is to improve the performance which I am doubtful of, and you say it's for stopping a behaviour that's contradictory to giving the game more cores. But correct me if I misunderstood the comment.

Edit:
I did some Googling, it seems in the context of IW5 it's somewhat desirable to have both the main thread and the game thread running on the same physical core. So it is my opinion that the step should be skipped entirely as well. Since the main thread and game thread will be interchanging data often if they are on the same core the threads can take advantage of cache hits and so forth. Then again, without profiling the game, it's not possible to give credit to OP's theory the game will benefit from more cores. The game isn't designed for multithreading because as mentioned before a dedicated server has only two important threads.
On IW5 I think we only have one logical thread that does the work on the main and game thread.
It's a patch NTA did on IW4 devices to improve performance.

A guide I still reference to this day but I recommend skipping a lot of steps.

DO NOT run the command sudo apt-get install -y ubuntu-desktop. You only need to install xrdp and xfce4 without the ubuntu-desktop package.

The Wine installation guide is extremely redundant and outdated.
According to my research which I hope is correct, you do not need to add i386 as a foreign architecture.
So please skip that step and try without it.

You can simply install Wine with apt-get install wine and that's it I never had to do anything more than that on my Linux systems when running XLabs or Plutonium clients.

Unless OP has done a meticulous profiling of the server app which I would be very interested in seeing the results of, changing the process affinity most likely does nothing to improve performance. The game runs on a few pre-programmed logical threads and will most likely completely ignore the system's offer for more threads. At least, that's my understanding of the game's behaviour.

Installing Chrome?????

Please, just use Firefox. It already comes with a desktop environment.
