Plutonium

I was on round 36 in zombies trying to get the servers record at 52 when the server said POG joined and he started talking shit then it said Mr.Zombinator left the game but it never said he joined. Then POG said the game was over and he ddossed the server until the ping was locked at 999 and everyone died, then i did the report command and it said no user with that name connected.

He said he was using a modded name and he left the game then mr zombinator joined back so i reported him as im pretty sure thats his normal username it never said he joined the first time. im not sure what else to do can i get him banned from the forums so he can no longer connect to any multiplayer servers? im concerned about modded clients because i used to play on a vpn to avoid getting ddosed when i used to play t6 multiplayer so ima be real upset if he can get my ip with a modded client even on a dedicated server. i was playing on an op gold tranzit server and the modders plutonium forum name should be Mr.Zombinator. you guys banned vpns so ima be real upset if some modder can ddos me offline.

The server said they were both from the united kingdom which is part of why i realized they were the same person. so i called him a cunt and said he couldnt even buy knives then i said he had little dick energy and re rage quit lmao, the server has rules against being toxic so i hope i can be exempt in this case i really like this op gold server. so if you can find someone from the uk with the username Mr.Zombinator then plz ban them for being a cunt. Mr.Zombinator tried to say that he was on round 40 when that other guy did the same thing to him but i dont buy it for a minute ive been on that server most of the day and they were the only uk people to join and only one person joined according to the server but there were two names i was talking to. and when one of them would leave the other would join.

I have recently managed to get black ops two zombies to run in lutris using the wine steam runner while following this guide:

https://gist.github.com/tpurde/f6e9d3f9d96da33e2151d1678b768f57

It took me a while to realize that the dependencies I needed for the proper version of wine were only available on the latest Ubuntu groovy gorilla but after upgrading that tutorial worked like a charm.

I'd love to get some multiplayer going so I have been trying to get plutonium working but I've been having a bit of trouble. I originally tried following this guide:

https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/8261/guide-how-to-run-black-ops-2-zombies-on-linux

And I think I might have messed it up a bit but it wouldn't work. So I tried merging that guide with the first guide I followed, except i used normal wine instead of steam wine as a runner in lutris.

I have my Games folder in the c drive of my wine prefix, that contains my pluto t6 full game folder. my wine prefix is 32bit, ive tried with winehq-staging 6.1 as well as lutris-6.0-x86_64. i have dxvk/vkd3d enabled and i have tried with esync on and off.

My environment variables; DXVK_STATE_CACHE=1, DXVK_STATE_CACHE_PATH=/home/user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/(lutris-6.0-x86_64 or WineHQ-Staging-6.1-x86), STAGING_SHARED_MEMORY=0, WINEESYNC=1, __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1, __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH=/home/user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/(lutris-6.0-x86_64 or WineHQ-Staging-6.1-x86), __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=True, __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1

Windows dll files installed in my wine prefix;
d3dcompiler_43, d3dx11_42, d3dx11_43, dotnet40, gfw, msasn1, physx, vcrun2008, vcrun2012, xact_x64, xact, xinput, dotnet48, d3dcompiler_47, dotnet472, corefonts, vcrun2005, vcrun2019, d3dx11_42, d3dx11_43, xact_x64, xact, dinput.

When i launch plutonium with the above configuration it says its running for about 5-10 seconds then it stops. without any errors or anything. im not even sure plutonium could be launched from lutris so maybe thats all for nothing. i figured id just tell you guys everything i have done so far and pray that someone can give me some insights.

Tomorrow i will start the second tutorial over again from scratch and ill try to pay extra attention to not mess it up. im thinking i probably just made a silly mistake. so hopefully ill be able to report back tomorrow with good news but if not hopefully someone here can help me out, thanks in advance.

I had no success following the above guide to the letter. I did everything exactly as the guide says and it didnt work but i saved the console output from the winetricks commands along with the backtrace from wine.

I have uploaded a zip file with two folders and three backtrace files the folders are two attempts at following the guide after the first one didnt work i ran the winetricks self update command and tried again and while the console output was cleaner with less errors i still got a similar result, after that i ran the uninstaller for the dxvk script and tried it again with the standard dll files and thats where backtrace three came from.

So ive tried nothing and im all out of ideas. i doubt the backtraces will be much help to anyone but perhaps someone can see a hint in the winetricks commands output and recommend something. at the very least it might help later on when the plutonium team starts to focus on linux support. thanks for reading.

here is a link to the zip, i uploading it to the forum site but i cant see any way to get it so im probably just not seeing some download attachment button or maybe it has to be approved by a moderator or something. that link it supposed to expire in a month though i dont think it will be needed that long.

Here is the output in wine debugger when i launch plutonium from explorer this looks much more useful idk why i didnt think to include it sooner.

i remembered that i was messing around with that wine prefix before i copied the wine debug output so i tried to reinstall everything and run it again and the output was a bit different but similar, here it is just in case.

i have been trying to follow this tutorial for about a week now with no luck.

i finally figured it out though, if this tutorial does not work for you; first make sure your running ubuntu 20.10 groovy gorilla. then install a package called winbind using;

sudo apt install winbind

then run

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_plutonium

then run

winecfg

then go to the libraries tab and add a new override for library, scroll down to xactengine2_1.dll and click on it to add it to your wine prefix. after that you will likely want to go to the graphics tab and click auto capture mouse in fullscreen and/or emulate full desktop and set the resolution to match your monitor.

after that hopefully you will have a working plutonium t6 installation that will launch using the script provided by the above tutorial.

thank you so much pants for the tutorial i would have given up long ago if i hadnt known someone somewhere got it to work tbh i did give up a few times but i knew this feeling would be worth it when i finally got it to run so i kept getting drawn back like a moth to a flame.

im only using bo2 but i think this should work for the entire client as my problem was that i couldnt even get the plutonium client to execute at all. ive put this post in the bo2 client support section but perhaps it would be better suited in a more general support where it would have better visibility, im not much of a forum person so ill let someone else worry about that.

i have a game to go enjoy

okay so i finally managed to get it working.

two things i know for sure.

one i had to install a package called winbind.

two i had to install xactengine2_1.dll through the winecfg library menu because the command failed to execute for some reason.

i did a ton of other stuff to troubleshoot before i did those things so im not sure if there is something else i did that was required but im pretty sure that those two things will make this tutorial (linked below) work on ubuntu 20.10 it will not work on ubuntu 20.04 as you cant even get the required dependencies for the proper version of wine.

I also get client command overflow when joining any multiplayer servers. Im using wine to run plutonium on linux and zombies works great with occasional crashes but i cant join any multiplayer servers due to the client command overflow error. Every server gives that error as soon as the map is done loading. I tried vanilla servers and had the same problem, I cant even get into the game. Im using keyboard and mouse with a decent pc and stable internet. Again i have no such issues with multiplayer zombies even with 8 people. the only issue with zombies is that my game crashes after its been running for like 2-3+ hours which is really annoying when im 20 rounds in but im just happy it works at all.
