Plutonium T6 has been updated to r791!
We have rewritten the client with a new codebase made from scratch.
Expect slow download speeds for the first day as everyone will be downloading.

Changes:

Piry.exe is no longer used, The Plutonium Launcher (Plutonium.exe) is used instead.
Plutonium.exe will be used to authenticate your forum user account and launch the game.
AntiCheat has been enabled. (This is the same anticheat as IW5, as always it won't catch everything but should help.)
Various crashes and exploits have been fixed.
Unlock All is now done by opening the console and typing unlockall You do not need to restart.
ServerList is now opened by pressing F10 or Home.
Discord Rich Presence has been added.
You now start the game with the Plutonium Launcher (plutonium.exe) which auto checks for updates when it starts, getting you up to date. Do not use t6rmp.exe or t6rzm.exe!

How to update:

Browse to http://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe and download the file. If your web browser blocks the download or removes it then you will need to tell your web browser to ignore the detection and keep the file. When asked in the launcher to select a folder, select your Bo2 folder.

I don't have Black Ops 2 installed???

If you are missing the base game then simply download piry.exe (https://piry.plutonium.pw/piry.exe). Place it in the folder you wish to install Black Ops 2 to and run it. Once it completes download the new launcher: http://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe and then simply select the Black Ops 2 folder Piry downloaded.

If Windows Defender blocks or removes the file then please download the file linked below and run the .bat file as Administrator. This will add the needed exclusions. https://anonfiles.com/7fKeK0o4oe/Exclusions_bat
You should probably do this regardless to avoid errors in the future. For example the t6r.dll error that people get on the old update.

Open Plutonium.exe (you shouldn't need to run as administrator) and you should see it start to check for Launcher updates and download any that are required as shown below. SmartScreen may appear warning you about the file, click the "more information" button and then click "Run Anyway". This should only appear once.
After this you will be shown a login screen, enter your Plutonium Forum Username and Password and login with your forum account details. This login is case sensitive!
Click the Black Ops 2 icon on the left hand side and then press Game Settings and then click Select Dir and then browse to your BO2 Game Folder and press Select Folder.
Click Play, a command prompt window should open, this is the bootstrapper which starts the game. Then the game should open.

When in game you will see an orange window that says Downloading Playlists, once this is complete it will show the serverlist. To interact with the menu, you need to close this window. Press F10 or Home to close this and press them again to reopen them at any time. If the game has launched at a low resolution, this may be on the very right hand side of your screen. You can drag it to the center.

If you get the following error, you selected the wrong folder for your BO2 Base Game.

Community Made Video:
Youtube Video

context deadline exceeded error:
If you get this error when updating the launcher, this is caused by a download taking too long.
Download this file and put it in the same folder as Plutonium.exe and then run it.
https://anonfiles.com/PbKfp7N4o1/Timeout_Fix_bat
It will run plutonium.exe with a longer download timeout.

Check the Common Errors and Fixes (and BO2 ReadMe) guides that are linked below before creating support threads!

AntiCheat Warning:

Do not attempt to test the AntiCheat. Being banned due to testing will have you banned for 7 days on the first ban and then banned forever on any further bans.
Do not try cheats in a private match, you will be banned. If you want to do this, launch your game in LAN mode but pressing the down arrow next to play which will swap the game to LAN mode.
Do not try to inject custom camos, we will release an update to support these.

Hello everyone!

Today we are extremely happy to announce that we are working with Hitch (https://twitter.com/hitchariide) to host his Charity Black Ops 2 Tournament on the 28th of October.

The tournament itself is the final tournament in a series to raise money for Movember. If you are unaware, Movember is a charity which aims to help with men's mental health and similar causes. https://uk.movember.com/about/foundation

Players:
Current team captains are confirmed as:

Captains will choose 3 people to play alongside them.

How is Plutonium helping?
Plutonium is providing our modification to these players to enable them to play these tournaments without risk of hackers breaking into the games or affecting them in any other way - which is what happened when the tournament was originally tried on Steam Black Ops 2. We are hosting the dedicated servers that are required for the tournament matches as well as ensuring they run smoothly.

Where is the tournament hosted?
Players will be playing from home however the entire event will be streamed from Arlington Esports Stadium (AES) where Hitch will be. AES is the largest Epsorts Stadium in North America. https://esportsstadium.gg/ has more information.

Progress so far and how you can get involved:
Hitch's previous 3 tournaments have already generated $24000 for Suicide Awareness and Mental Health Awareness. You can be involved by watching the tournament and donating at http://tst.live/

Hello Community!

We are planning to release a Plutonium Mod for World At War - mainly focused on Zombies but if we see MP getting used we will focus on that too. It's aimed release is around Christmas as a gift from Plutonium to our awesome community. The idea is that this is just fan service but if we see it get played, we will add more features that the community would like.

Current Features:

Plutonium Anti-Cheat
Plutonium Server Browser (and the serverlist anti abuse protections that come with it) for both MP and ZM.
Compatibility with all Steam version mod support including custom maps and content.
Dedicated support forums and support discord channel.
Forum sections will be created for discussions on modding and custom content.
Discord Rich Precence and Game Invite and Joining support.
Plutonium Friends List Support.
Any known exploits will be patched or removed as soon as we are aware.
All DLC is free, this was originally released free on PC whereas on Console you had to buy it. This isn't really a feature, it's just cool to remember this is how it used to be.
Allow server owners to replace GSC files without loading an entire mod.
Allow server owners to set a dvar which will tell the game to use the players normal stats rather than creating their own new stats for each mod.

We plan to also make it abit more 2020 friendly like we do with T6 and IW5. We do not play the game as much as our community might though, which is why this thread has been created - maybe you know of a feature the game needs or currently has that you want to be sure will still work.

Reply to this thread with any suggestions you have, the more detailed and thought out your suggestion, the more likely staff are to reply and to take it seriously. Please read other people suggestions to avoid repeating suggestions and Thumbs Up any suggestions you want to see that others have already posted.

Hello all,

We have reworked our AntiCheat ban policy. We hope this will reduce the workload for unbanning and streamline the process. This system will go live from some point today and will require some downtime whilst we implement it. All old bans will be revoked to give previously banned players an opportunity to play fairly.

The old system worked as follows:

A cheat would be detected.
Ban automatically placed on the account.
Player submits a ban appeal, if accepted, ban would be manually lifted in 7 days days.
Player can play again after 7 days, if caught again, the ban would be reinstated and be permanent

The new system works as follows:

Cheat is detected.
Automatic ban of 7 days is placed onto the account.
When the player tries to login, they will be displayed a message which tells them they are banned and also tells them how long is left until the ban expires.
Attempting to bypass the ban in any way will lead to further restrictions.
Ban appeals are no longer accepted or possible to make, any threads created to appeal a ban will be deleted.
Once the ban length has expired, the system will automatically remove the ban.
If the player is caught cheating again, the system will ban the account permanently.

Intro:
Thanks for interest in Plutonium! To see what we've changed in Plutonium IW5 checkout:
https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/523/plutonium-iw5-mod-release-information-what-has-changed/

Get the actual IW5 base game:
Please ensure you have the actual IW5 game, Steam will provide this to you for FREE, check this thread for instructions on how to get it. https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/448/how-to-download-the-iw5-base-game

Plutonium uses the latest IW5 version, as such we highly recommend using Steam to get the latest copy and avoid errors that older copies will cause. We will not provide support to old copies, we are busy enough as it is. The Modern Warfare 3 Dedicated Server files as shown in the linked thread or the actual Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer files (from an owned copy) are perfectly fine.

Get the DLC:
It is recommended you download the DLC to enjoy the complete MW3 experience and also for the fact that lots of servers have DLC maps in rotation. You can download the DLC from one of the following links, please read the readme.txt for installation instructions (It's in the zip):
Gdrive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fOXq1BFSn_FT1o8SZUzNnzAQDxdb7Ip2
or

Warning:
The Plutonium Launcher and IW5 / T6 Mod are created by a group who make this as a hobby, as such, we cannot afford Code Signing certificates (roughly $500 for a reputable one), this means when we release updates, plenty of AntiVirus products will see our newly created files with no Code Signing as suspicious. Plutonium also keeps itself up to date and sends requests to our servers to grab the serverlist and to talk to our anticheat, this also causes AntiVirus products to mark us as malicious. As such we get many support requests due to AntiVirus deleting our files - we, therefore, provide instructions and files below to add Exclusions to Windows Defender for Plutonium if you require them. Some players find that their Windows Defender doesn't complain whereas others players struggle.

How to install Plutonium IW5:

This guide assumes you followed the step above and Steam installed the base game to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3
Browse to https://cdn.plutonium.pw/updater/plutonium.exe and download the file. If your web browser blocks the download or removes it then you will need to tell your web browser to ignore the detection and keep the file. If Windows Defender blocks or removes the file then please download the file linked below and run the .bat file as Administrator. This will add the needed exclusions. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/697719316187054100/771733688575983677/Exclusions.bat
Open Plutonium.exe (you shouldn't need to run as administrator) and you should see it start to check for Launcher updates and download any that are required as shown below. SmartScreen may appear warning you about the file, click the "more information" button and then click "Run Anyway". This should only appear once.
After this you will be shown a login screen, enter your Plutonium Forum Username and Password and login. You will need to login every 2 weeks. We are working on auto-renewing the login so you don't have to do this in the future. This login is case sensitive!
Ensure you are on the MW3 tab (it should look like the below image) and then click the Setup button. You now need to tell the Launcher where your copy of MW3 is stored, if you followed the guide in step 1, this location will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3
Once you've selected your game location it should change to a green Play button.

All Done:

Click Play and enjoy the game! This may crash on the first time, this is expected, simply launch again and you won't get the error! Click the servers button on the main menu of the game to view all the servers to play on.
To start Plutonium IW5 in the future, simply open Plutonium.exe - We suggest adding it to your Start Menu
Click the cog icon just to the right of the play button to change the base game path at any time.

Hello everyone - Plutonium IW5 has been released for 1 month so I thought now would be a good time to show some stats. Just a reminder that we don't expect the anticheat to catch everything, no anticheat can do that and we're a team that do this in our spare time. Bans were wiped a few days after release due to a bug so please note the following stats do not include those bans. Our anticheat is bug free right now and is pretty stable and has proven it's ready to be ported over to T6, so expect updates on that in the future.

Stats:
We currently have 30000 registered forum users.
16000 unique people have played or atleast started Plutonium IW5.
Our AntiCheat has banned 233 accounts.
Our AntiCheat has banned 103 unique hackers. Which means 130 extra accounts were banned for trying to evade their original ban.
The 130 bans that were handed out for evading were applied before the hackers even managed to start their games, meaning they were unable to ruin other players fair gameplay.

The Future:
We will continue to improve our anticheat and try to combat any persistent hackers, however we also need to ensure work is progressing on T6 so this is a careful balancing act of priorities.
Of our registered users, 46.67% have not started the game, we would love to see the number of people in game increase, you can help us do this by asking your friends to play and spreading the word. If you start to play and don't find a server you would like to join then please join an empty server and wait roughly 10 minutes and other players should begin to join, it only takes roughly 4 players before everyone starts filling up a server. Thanks for your continued support for the project, we hope you enjoying playing!

Hello everyone - Plutonium IW5 has been released for 4 months and the Plutonium T6 update for 1 month so please see the stats below.

Stats:
We currently have 165000 registered forum users (an increase of nearly 100k registered users in 1 month) and 84000 Discord Members.
Our AntiCheat has banned 3565 accounts for cheating in Plutonium IW5 and Plutonium T6.
1686 of those accounts were unique hackers with 1879 additional accounts created and instantly banned for attempting to bypass / evade their original ban.

We expected an increase in anticheat bans but we were not expecting 3000+, as a result of this we have seen more registrations than ever before as well as higher average player counts with a peak of 900 players across all our games at some points.

We hope the community is enjoying the project!

Hello everyone - we've had higher priorities the last few months than getting these Plutonium Stats released however I'll try to keep this monthly. For the purposes of catching up, I will include some references to the last stats thread.

Stats:
We currently have 497,830 (Last thread was 165,000) registered forum users and 96948 (Last Thread 84000) Discord Members.

Our AntiCheat has banned 16,525 (Last Thread 3565) accounts for cheating in Plutonium IW5 and Plutonium T6.

4,460 (Last Thread 1686) of those accounts were unique hackers with 12,065 (Last Thread 1879) additional accounts created and instantly banned for attempting to bypass / evade their original ban.

On average - 30 unique hackers are banned a day by the AntiCheat. This does not include bans given to people failing to bypass their original ban.

We hope the community is enjoying the project!

If you need support, make a thread.

Hello everyone - Plutonium IW5 has been released for 2 months so please see the stats below.

Reminder: No anticheat will detect every hacker and we allow server owners to ban any player they want for any reason, so please remember if you are banned from 1 server for hacking, that isn't our anticheat doing it. If you are a server owner and somebody is obviously hacking then please be aware that our anticheat stops hackers when they join a server after being flagged as cheating, as such you may see them in a server, simply kick or ban them and if our anticheat has flagged them, they won't be able to join any other server and will be notified they are banned.

Stats:
We currently have 42000 registered forum users.
Our AntiCheat has banned 360 accounts for cheating in Plutonium IW5.
199 of those accounts were unique hackers with 161 additional accounts created and instantly banned for attempting to bypass / evade their original ban.

Development Update:
Our development team is currently busy in their day jobs dealing with COVID-19 as such we have not released many development updates, we are still working on our Plutonium T6 update and a few features for Plutonium IW5 such as Highrise and the Intervention and Native Controller Support. We are also working on a few other features but Plutonium IW5 but they are too early to discuss just yet.

Then you were banned for attempting to hack and then tried to bypass your ban multiple times and are now bullshitting to see if you can get around it that way. Sure enough I see multiple accounts made by yourself - wait out the ban - if you make another thread it will be changed to forever and your forum account banned too.

The server owner may have alot of slots reserved - i can only suggest to try other servers.

Yes that is supported however the game doesn't include Aim Assist for controllers.

To put it basically, some servers choose to reserve slots for privileged players, this could many be an admin or a clan member that the server owner has given this too. In some servers you can buy it too. You were likely one of the latest players to connect to the server, and since the server is full and a player who is marked as a privileged player is trying to connect, the server kicks you to make room.

At like 55 seconds you see him pre aim a corner that nobody is near, he then also gets too caught up jumping down that he misses the 2 guys just off screen to his right and does not try to lock on when trying to kill them both and dies. IMO if he had hacks, he would have been more aware of those 2 guys in that scenario, with a wallhack he would have seen them earlier.

Ultimately I don't think anything in that clip would satisfy the community that this guy deserves to be banned for a week / forever. He seems to have pretty good map knowledge and spawn knowledge, as for the lag, on his end he may not really experience much, or might be used to playing on higher ping servers. He's certainly got good FPS though since his movement is fairly good.

This guy has played here for years now and in the early days we had many many many hackusations about him, I know for a fact he doesn't hack yet at times I can see why so many others don't believe it.

It's not uncommon to find people who seem too good, alot of people have been nolife-ing CoD for 10+ years, many of them know where people will be, where to look, where to pre-aim and also be able to hear people a mile away. Alas, that is the PC Gaming life.

@Voldson Can you fire [email protected] an email with your non VPN'd IP address? Then let me know once that's done?

Your IP may just be caught in one of our IP blocks - you could also try turning your router off for about 5 or 10 minutes and then checking if your IP changes.

@Pistakilla Thank you.

I'm not even sure I remember to be honest. Maybe the other admins do.

Servers owners are free to kick or ban anybody they want for any reason they want, they can choose who has to follow the rules and who doesn't. It's their server. This is not the place to to complain about this, go find their personal discord or something.

We do not care about player vs server admin disagreements. If you do not like how the server is ran, do not play on it.

Great thread OP!
