Plutonium

In other news, free for all matches seems to work better i was able to join and play a whole match but it crashes after the map restarted.

JezuzLizard Well first of all thank you for the clapback. Anyways if its any help for this particular issue i belive it was introduced in one of the latest updates (probably in r3855/r3869, r3903 or r3963) as i was able to play plutonium just fine with the exact same setup just a few months ago unless i just wasnt affected by the bug until now.

Another intestesting fact is that i booted up up an ancient bootdrive of mine which admiteddly is fairy fucked when it comes to being bloated but i experienced the exact same issue on that one as i did on my clean bootdrive, both of which had plutonium running just fine before. The only real link between my 2 bootdrives are everyday programs like firefox, discord etc and my GPU drivers, which is bad news because it doesnt seem to be a conflict with any software i recently installed. I also tested older GPU drivers that are known good with plutonium (since i played pluto with them before) but the issue still persisted. Other things ive tried where turning off stuff like Resizable bar which i thought might have a chance to mess with older games like BO2 but still no change :/. Compatability mode for t6mp was also a wash but thats to be expected.

I did also try BO2 zombies and that worked fine for the like 2 rounds i played on a populated server so its probably MP only unless the crash trigger didnt happen during my 5 min of playtime but happens almost instantly when joining a server in MP. I guess the next step would be to create an entirely new bootdrive with a fresh copy of windows so that the particular software combination might be figured out but i also might not have the energy for that for now.

This really is a frustratingly elusive bug. Anyways if you guys need someone to make a dump or something similar with a debugger i would be happy to help.

ChosenUndead Im using a windows 10 version 22H2 install which i was able to play plutonium on previously before a (presumably) plutonium update broke it. Unfortunately it does not matter in the slightest that you havent experienced this issue yourself as it does not fix it for everyone else that does have it, but hey good for you that your game works

KiriNeko1507 Ditto what Elbaan said. You did not have the same issue.

KiriNeko1507 Are you clueless or just trying to be unhelpful? Either way both suggestions have been tested by many people with the same problem with no results.

Slug Licker You where right that i have already tried the last version they released just a few hours before my post and indeed no change. As for safeboot, thats a good idea that i hadnt thought about, unfortunately the game really doesnt seem like it the safe mode enviorment. I assume that it is because its not using any graphics drivers so the game runs at about 16 frames per second, bunch of audio issues etc, regardless of the cause it crashes everytime before i can even get to the server browser in safe mode which is a shame. But juding from all the forum posts and discord nagging it seems like this is a issue with plutonium rather than a individual client problem. It was a good try though and i do appreciate that you are attempting to help those affected.

Slug Licker Thanks except i already stated in my post that ive tried that, trice including a complete game reinstall. It doesnt work. Even further to quote Xerxes as he so elagently put it, my windows install is fresh and not "raped", my game install is "unraped", there really isnt a reason for the game not to work since it has worked fine so far, a recent update broke it.

Well if its helpful here is my crash dump analysis of the full crash dump: https://pastebin.com/iqZVRgKA
My game also crashes as as soon as i join a lobby (any looby that ive tried which is about 10), but doesnt crash in custom games. I have played plutonium with the very same install before without a problem a few months ago so if i had to speculate this is probably a bug that was introduced in one of the last few updates to T6 (i think i played last time before this was in jan/feb).

The crash reference ID is: 1b105deb-9418-4867-82fa-c737e554aa3c

Also just to be clear in order to eliminate any variables: I own the game on steam (with verified ownership), i even reinstalled the whole game (and cleaned the folder to get rid of any errant files between uninstall and reinstall) so the install is clean (only MP and Zombies installed), ive deleted plutonium from my local appdata and reinstalled it so no mods or other old stuff and plutonium bootstrap is white listed in both the firewall and windows defender so thats not the problem either.

Hope that helps.

edit: actually here is the consol log as well, doubt it will be useful but cant hurt https://pastebin.com/1HH900QA
