Introduction

Thanks for interest in Plutonium! This guide will cover the installation of Plutonium T6 for both users who already have the game installed and those who don't.
Please take the time to read this guide in its entirety, if you encounter an issue along the way please consult the common issues post before asking for help: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/9/common-issues-and-frequently-asked-questions-t6

I just want to update / already have the game installed?

If you already have the game installed from steam or had a previous update of Plutonium then you can skip the below section and move onto the Plutonium Launcher section.

Installing the base game (BO2)

This section will cover downloading a copy of BO2. Please skip this section if you already have a copy of the game.

Please note we highly recommend buying the game if you do not own it, it is the best way to get a copy of the game files that are up to date and not corrupt or changed in some way. Key sites will give you a decent discount in 2020.

Step 1) From the windows file explorer navigate to My PC, then to Local Disc (C:) and create a new folder called Games

Step 2) Download/open your favourite torrent software (qBittorrent is recommended).
https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html?dwl=qbittorrent_4.2.5_x64_setup.exe

Step 3) Download the torrent file: https://dss0.cc/alterwarez/download/pluto_t6_full_game.torrent

Step 4) Open the torrent file pluto_t6_full_game.torrent (from the previous step) it will open up your torrent client program and ask you where you'd like to save the game.
SELECT THE GAMES FOLDER AS THE SAVE LOCATION, YOU CREATED IT IN STEP 1

Step 5) Start the download and wait till the download completes you will know it's done when it 100% and the status changes to Seeding

Once it's done you will have your copy of the game downloaded, here is an example of a completed base game folder:

Plutonium Launcher

This section will cover installing using the new Plutonium Launcher. This launcher is now used to start the game and is also how updates are applied for our supported games.

Step 1) Click the following link to download plutonium.exe https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe (The launcher)
You can save the launcher anywhere you want, somewhere convenient such as your desktop or the game folder.
(Tip: If you used piry to install your base game, you will already have plutonium.exe in your game folder)

Step 2) Open the launcher, if smart screen comes up click More info, then Run anyway

The launcher will now start the process of installing the client files...

Step 3) Enter your forum credentials to login, if you don't already have a forum account you can create one here: https://forum.plutonium.pw/register

Step 4) Navigate to Black Ops 2 and then hit SETUP and then select your Black Ops 2 game folder:

(THIS FOLDER MAY BE CALLED pluto_t6_full_game for you)

(If you ever need to reselect the game folder, simply click the COG icon next to the PLAY button)

For those struggling to locate your game folder, this is what the contents of the game folder will look like:

Getting this error?

As the error says you have a invalid game path selected in the launcher. To fix this issue click the following icon to reselect your game folder:

Congratulations you have completed the installation guide.

To launch BO2 simply open the Plutonium launcher and select PLAY

INTRODUCTION
This guide will teach you how to play with friends over the internet in a private match.
Note this guide requires you to know how to port forward. If you do not know how to do this please consult your internet service providers' documentation/support. Every router is different so there is no one way I can explain on this guide on how to do so.

GUIDE

1. The host of the game needs to port forward port 27016 with the protocol UDP, this will enable friends to connect. (27016 is MW3's default port)
   You can double-check the port is correct by typing net_port into your console in-game and checking it's value.

2. The host of the private match needs to navigate to 'Private Match' from the main menu and setup the game as they wish, once happy with the setup they need to start the game via the 'Start Game' button.

3. The host of the game now needs to provide their public IP address to everyone who wishes to join. To learn what your public IP address is simply visit this site: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ (You need the ipv4 one)

4. All friends now must from the main menu, go to 'Private Match' then open the console with the tilde key and then enter the following command using the IP the host provided:
   connect HostsIPAddress:27016 (Note the port can be omitted if default port)

This completes the guide, your friends should now have connected to the private match!

Additional Notes
If you and some / all of your friends are on the same LAN they connect through the internal IP, if all players are on the same LAN portforwarding is not necessary.
If you really can't portforward use rAdmin VPN as Hamachi won't work in most of the cases.

Introduction

In order to complete any of this you need to know how to open the in-game console, it is opened by pressing the tilde key on your keyboard (Google this key name if you are unsure what the key looks like). Also make sure you perform these commands while in the main menu, using them elsewhere may cause unexpected behaviour. Pressing tilde will open the ingame console like so:

Setting Prestige

In the console type the following command, replacing hash with the prestige number you desire:
setplayerdata prestige # (The range is 0-20)

Setting Rank

In the console type the following command, replacing hash with the experience you desire:
setplayerdata experience # (The range is 0-1746200)
Note experience != level, please use the below table to work out the experience required for your desired rank.

Setting Prestige Tokens

In the console type the following command, replacing hash with the tokens you desire:
setplayerdata prestigeShopTokens #
Note the menu will likely report an incorrect number of tokens, however they will be unlocked to spend and upon spending one the menu count will update.

Resetting Stats

In the console type the following command:
statsreset

That shouldn't have happened. If you want to prevent further issues you can backup your stats. They are located here:
\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\demonware

cg_fov 90 into the console.

@n00bie said in Compressing the 16 GB file?:

@Dss0 I see. That's still a fairly large file though, if you see where I'm coming from?

I do not see where you are coming from. 13GB is a very small size for the game files. Storage is very cheap and for perspective the latest call of duty install size is 200GB.

All I can suggest is deleting the in game videos. They are found in Call of Duty Black Ops II\video but this only saves 250mb...

Locking this post. Read the staff replies, the detection is a false positive nothing more.

The game can only be started from the launcher.
The launcher is required to perform client updates and authenticate you.

@nsfakhoury22 As Dss0 just said. There already is a client for Black Ops 1 and it's called Rekt T5

@qRose said in en_patch fix:

same error

Run piry.exe, then show a screenshot of it's console output once it's finished. So we can check the piry results.

Introduction

This guide will cover the process of adding a folder exclusion to Windows Defender in order to prevent Defender falsely flagging Plutonium as a virus resulting in errors and issues such as the game not starting.

Step 1) Open Windows Security

Step 2) Click on Virus & threat protection

Step 3) Select the Manage settings text

Step 4) Select Add or remove exclusions text from the Exclusions section

Step 5) Click the Add an exclusion button and select Folder from the dropdown

Step 6) Now click the address bar and enter the following %LocalAppData%/Plutonium

%LocalAppData%/Plutonium

Congratulations you have now added a folder exception for Plutonium!

He just needs to wait. It can take some time to download. It is not stuck.

This issue can be caused by misconfiguration of servers. I suggest testing on some known good servers such as awog.

@kani first do not thread hijack. Create your own post if you have an issue. Secondly just follow the guide k linked above.

@recn The game only supports xinput capable devices. An example of this is an Xbox one controller. A Playstation controller is not xinput so will not natively work.

To make it work you must follow this guide: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/2815/setting-up-a-ps4-controller-with-ds4windows

Running piry will do nothing to help your issue.
