Plutonium

Yeah if its strict, you have to manually port forward https://plutonium.pw/docs/custom-games/#if-upnp-is-still-disabled-or-you-cant-connect-despite-it-being-enabled

Then start a game, and ask your friend to connect IP:port in console.

You've added the exception to %localappdata%/Plutonium correct? Quit any overlays you might have running in the background. Also try looking for any crashes related to plutonium in windows event viewer.

Not in maintenance, probably an issue on your end. Either you're launching it in lan mode, or something else is blocking your connection (firewall,vpn,etc). Also make sure you're on the latest build - its r3043.

What error? Screenshot it.

Elaborate, why can't you download it though? Screenshot if there's any errors.

Well did it update the client files after you ran it as admin? The latest version is r3043. Try doing these:

• stats could be corrupted, try resetstats in console

• If there's checkerboard loading screens on the map, repair https://plutonium.pw/docs/repair/

• If you recently made/downloaded any custom camos or textures, delete them.

Edit: Seems like joining a server too quickly after starting the game causes this - wait for a few seconds and let the serverlist populate, once its done, then try connecting to the server.

Do you have goxlr/multiple mics/vr headsets plugged in? Try unplugging them all, and also disable/uninstall any audio softwares you might have (voicemeeter, voicemod, etc). It's also been known to be caused by nvidia broadcast, avermedia, elgato and similar apps.

Launch cmd as admin, and paste this in it:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Once its finished, restart your PC. This should install any missing redists: https://github.com/ChxseH/Redist-Installer/releases/download/latest/Redist-Installer.bat. Restart your PC again once its done doing its thing.

Don't know of any other workaround, no. This likely won't be fixed anytime soon either since it has a pretty low priority.

Alt tab to the bootstrapper window instead, and type r_fullscreen 0; vid_restart into it.

And no the launcher doesn't download the game files for you, you have to do it yourself.

Caused due to not having speakers/headphones connected. Make sure windows recognizes your headphones and the ingame sound device option in Settings is set to your preferred headset.
