I dont really use discord anymore their linux client is pretty bad and the web app is useless but ill reinstall it on my phone so you can dm me.
my discord id is ImThatSteve#3105
i used the winedbg tool and when it crashes it spams this:
0208:err:virtual:try_map_free_area mmap() error Cannot allocate memory, range 0xffde0000-(nil), unix_prot 0.
so does this mean there is some kind of memory leak?
0208:err:seh:NtRaiseException Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x6fa94a1f
i guess this means the issue is with the base game?
003c:fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (0079FEA4 00000000): stub
RektInator is it possible to debug the error codes for external dependencies with the crash dump files or would i need the src code for that? maybe if i could just find out which dependencies are throwing exceptions i could report it to someone more experienced in these things at the wine github or find some workarounds.
thank you very much that helps a lot!

Im using linux to run plutonium and that isnt quite supported so i dont expect to receive any help but the game crashes after one to two hours of running and im not sure what to make of these exception codes and addresses. As i understand it the plutonium team will eventually try to support linux via wine so perhaps these crash logs will help with that.
If anyone can make any sense of these and tell me what they mean perhaps i could find some way to stop the crashes on my own. I didnt bother linking the crash dump dmp files so if they would help or if they are necessary please let me know and i will host them somewhere. when the game crashes it freezes then the virtual desktop turns blue before wine exits so it seems like a windows bluescreen or something.

Optimus X okay thank you for the fast reply, im sorry for jumping to conclusions. was POG some sort of nickname for console/some admin tool or was that a modder?
sorry i mentioned Optimus when i needed Optimus X im not sure how to mention users with a space in their name.
This user: https://forum.plutonium.pw/user/optimus-x
I believe the server was owned by them iirc.
it was an OP Gold modded TranZit 24/7 server and the best one i have ever had the pleasure of joining.
it appears to be offline now unfortunately.
can you weigh in here? was Mr.Zombinator staff on your server and do you have any server logs or my report, maybe some ip logs or traffic logs/chat logs that confirm what i said? the user joined and said wow thats a nice round its a shame the game is going to end. i asked why and then the server was dosed or ddosed until we all died to lag and then the game restarted and i attempted to report the fake name then i succeeded in reporting the real name and then they left and then i left and made this post on the forums so any logs should be from the time right (maybe 30 minutes to an hour) before this post was made.
without the Mention i have no way to contact Optimus X but there was a regular announcement on the server that named them the owner so i would like to bring this to their attention. right now all i can think of would be to make a comment in some unrelated post of theirs but that doesnt seem appropriate so perhaps the plutonium staff are able to reach out to members through direct messages or mention users with spaces in their names. when i select his name through the mention autocomplete it just pings optimus and adds -x after.
okay well i just wanted to help keep the community free of modders and let you guys know that someone might have a way of avoiding the in game report/admin functions via a fake name and i figured that on the off chance that this is not a admin or staff of that particular server then they would likely be doing this to a lot of people on a lot of servers and if nobody can report them or ban them because nobody knows their real name then this could be a huge headache for server staff and thats just if they even find out there is a problem. i suspect many people would just quit the game and wouldnt bother mentioning it on the forums or doing anything other than trying to report someone and failing and then joining a new server. so if you get 5 reports of this kind of thing then its probably a problem effecting 50-100 people but only 5-10% of people are willing to come to the forums and report it.
I would like some way to know if this person is or is not admin on a specific server so i dont go pick a new server that he also happens to run and then i have the same thing happen again and i just get the same response because i have no way to know if they are staff or not. is there any sort of evidence i can collect as a user that would allow you guys to take action or is that entirely dependent on the specific server staff?
i have a feeling that this person just scrolls down the list of servers looking for the highest round in zombies then they join the server with a mod that sends a fake name then they use some man in the middle tool to find what ip their game is sending traffic to then they log on to some stress testing website and ddos that ip offline and end the game for everyone playing, then those players talk shit to them when they stop the test and the game resets and they try to report them but the report fails because they use the wrong name and then the modder leaves the game and goes to find the next highest zombies round with an open player slot, rinse and repeat. honestly they probably dont even need a modded client they could just intercept the packet that their client sends to the server then change the username and forward the packet to the server idk if you guys have any serverside username authentication or if admins can disable that or whatever but i would like to prevent this from happening to me as well as anyone else in the future.
id imagine thig guy likely learned their lesson with me and they will fix it so nobody sees their real username next time which will just make it harder for people to report to anyone with any power to do anything about it.
oh so we are allowed to use vpns to connect to plutonium servers? and is there some way i can find out who the admins or staff members are on a server? i assumed that if it was an admin tool then they could just restart the game or kill the players and wouldnt have to ddos the server so we would all see a connection interrupted notification and 999 ping for 1 minute until we all died and the game restarted automatically.
I figured that maybe staff would have some reason for doing so other than just being a twat that wanted to troll some players before leaving the game. its not even like they wanted to play on the server from a fresh start because the dude joined in alone ddosed the server and then left and nobody else joined in and the server was empty when i first joined it so it just didnt feel like a staff interaction at all. plus i figured he would have banned me when i said he had small dick energy if he could have.
I understand that you cant do anything about it being private servers and all but i would like some way of figuring out which servers are decent and have alright staff and which servers give staff to 12 yo british cunts before i go and invest 4 hours into trying to beat a server record just to have my game ended by any cunt with a modded client. and i was under the impression that you guys use some sort of anticheat software that notifies you when people use clientside mods that could manipulate the name reported to the server then gives them a global ban and you think the mod was server side instead, could you just tell me how all of that works? im not sure how or even if i could get evidence of a modder ruining my game but i reported them to the server admin so now do i need the server admin to find some evidence of modding for me? or is the evidence just the detection of client modding software so if the mods are undetected then there is no recourse i can take?
or perhaps is there some other evidence that this was a staff member? i have not been in contact with the server admin and im not quite sure how i would do that but maybe someone here is already familiar with the admins doing this kind of thing. im almost wondering if Mr.Zombinator is an admin on a different server trying to prevent people from using a competitor server buts its a video game lol that seems very petty and im not sure what they would have to gain so i think they just wanted to be a cunt.
im just really bummed out becuse i was very happy to have a working zombies multiplayer without a bunch of modders but now if the admins are the modders than who knows what else i have to deal with, the can probably wipe the in game bank too and leave me with nothing and i wont have any recourse other than to try and find a different server and hope the staff arent cunts.
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 just found plutonium recently and im running plutonium as well as vanilla bo2 on linux through wine/lutris. immediately after switching over to plutonium i noticed my fps at 150-200 rock steady instead of the normal game running between 30-70 fps it also crashes less frequently but i cant say anything about the network other than my ping being very steady with the servers i play on. sorry i know thats not what you asked but it feels much smoother than the base game to me, perhaps something else has changed? windows update or more congestion on your network?
me and my friend have been playing around with it, we have learned that i can host a custom game server without crashing. sometimes it crashes before i spawn in, other times it crashes after a few minutes. shooting rockets at cars seems to cause crashes but not always. shooting u into the air can cause crashes. honestly it seems fairly random.
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.
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 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.
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.
