That error occurs when you try to join someone who is hosting a custom game on Easy Mode Buried. Make sure the host sets the difficulty to Original, then you shouldn't receive that error.

CookieJar Move the game out of Downloads to somewhere else like C:/Games or something, then reselect this folder in game settings of the launcher. What I said above to the other guys doesn't change btw, you've probably selected the wrong folder.

Gonna lock this thread since this is too old, feel free to create another thread if this doesn't solve your issue.

Is your FPS uncapped? That's known to cause this, try capping your FPS below 200 with the com_maxfps dvar.

How much time does it take to load a map? If it takes too much time, your PC is probably too slow/old to run the game, I'd suggest upgrading your PC. Although if it loads in lesser than like 20-30 secs and then shows the error, might be high packet loss or just shitty internet connection in general.

Delete the %localappdata%/Plutonium folder as well as the launcher. Redownload it from https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe and run it as admin.

jerryx778 This should fix it, however you may encounter crashes at random times
Download this file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fTzQtshdqhoUziaHpwxUY7gN0BidStnR/view?usp=sharing
Run it
Click "Edit List..."
Click the three dots right of the "enter a process or folder name" field and select "plutonium-launcher-win32.exe" located in "C:\Users\al\AppData\Local\Plutonium\bin"
tick the "force warp" checkbox and select "11_0" from the "feature level limit" dropdown menu
hit ok and try launching the plutonium launcher

Known issue, please be patient, should be resolved in a few hours.

Delete both the launchers, the original one and the duplicated .new one (if you get an access denied error while trying to delete it, restart your PC) and redownload it from https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe . Then run pluto as admin again.

You could try the torrent instead https://dss0.cc/alterwarez/download/iw5m_dlcs.torrent

Firstly, sure you know how to do that. Our anticheat isn't buggy, can actually detect cheats and false positives - if ever happening, happens on a large scale and not just 1 user. No random program would ever inject itself into the bootstrapper, you'd have to specifically do that. All the warnings are in the docs, which you didn't read prior, also not our fault.

Secondly, .... I don't even have a counter to that, your logic is terribly flawed and well, you're a bit dim so even if we'd try explaining it, you wouldn't understand.

Lastly, you just negated your own point. Clearly our anticheat's working as intended, and no it isn't "stolen", rather written from the ground up. "developed by morons with low level coding experience" - You probably wouldn't even be able to compile a hello world script if the source code was right in front of you mate. Cheers!

@SpikeSpiegel2071 r_mode inside the cfgs. Also gonna lock this thread to prevent further necroposting, create a new thread if you have any more issues.

Delete both the launchers, the original one and the .new one, redownload it from http://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe and run it as admin.

Did you try deleting both the pluto launchers- the original one and the .new one and redownloading it from http://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe?

Alternatively, launch Pluto as admin and what antivirus do you have?

Type r_fullscreen 0 and vid_restart into the bootstrapper cmd window. You can change it back to your resolution/fullscreen through the settings.

No. Search it up yourself. Also a heads up, use mod menus only in lan mode with the anticheat disabled, otherwise you'll get banned.

Everyone on this thread, launch plutonium.exe as admin so it can update the client files. If you're getting that error you're probably launching it directly from %localappdata%/Plutonium/bin.

When you click play the launcher exits itself? Try installing the redists and run dxsetup.exe inside the directx folder https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1gG_DXaZfAUETfXaYJzCP36ImvE_bO_x9&export=download

And on a side note, if you have McAffee antivirus, uninstall it. Its causing that.

The devs doesn't get paid for this, spends so much of their time on this only to hear "its garbage" from people like you. Ungrateful prick

Stop seeding the torrent if you're still doing it, delete plutonium.exe and the .new one and redownload the launcher from https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe.

BlessDRACO Bluecody21 BladeeEnjoyer Could you people show screenshots of your BO2 folder and game settings of the launcher? You've probably selected the wrong BO2 folder.
