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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Hello everyone - Plutonium IW5 has been released for 3 months so please see the stats below.

Stats:
We currently have 54000 registered forum users and 80000 Discord Members.
Our AntiCheat has banned 540 accounts for cheating in Plutonium IW5.
280 of those accounts were unique hackers with 260 additional accounts created and instantly banned for attempting to bypass / evade their original ban.

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,

An update has been pushed for MW3 and BO2 (IW5 & T6) with the following changes:

Launcher:
No launcher changes.

MW3:
General stability improves. (Crash fixing)
UltraWide screen improvements.
If using native ultrawide monitors , change r_customAspectRatio to 2.3333 (21/9 or 3.55556 if 32:9).
Otherwise use https://calculateaspectratio.com/ and calculate a 21:9 or 32:9 resolution that fits into your monitors resolution
-> set r_aspectRatio to custom (4)
-> set r_customAspectRatio accordingly (2.3333)
-> set r_customMode to the res you calculated (eg. 1386x594)
-> Ensure you're using windowed mode.

BO2:
The serverlist has been updated to allow more functionality.
The serverlist also now scales with your resolution.
You can now sort by players, apply filters, see what round a zombie server is on etc.
You can also search for specific servers.

Why not swap to the old serverlist?
The old serverlist used alot of resources on older CPU models which reduced frame rates.
Since we have remade the entire BO2 Client, the old menu system will not work as it refuses to load and rather than spend another 4 months delaying the update because of this, we decided to use ImGUI which should allow us to keep the CPU usage lower and still provide a serverlist.

Hello everyone,

An update has been pushed for MW3 and BO2 (IW5 & T6) with the following changes:

Launcher:
The actual updater tool the launcher uses now features a UI.

MW3 / IW5:
No changes have been made.

BO2 / T6:

• Fixed ranked mode on dedicated servers, this now allows players actual ranks to display in-game. This also means that you get XP for scorestreaks, assists etc instead of just kills.

• Fixed tickrate on dedicated servers, it used to be set to 10Hz due to a bug, it is now set to 20Hz like on Steam.

• Plutonium Branding added to the top right of the screen, this might be changed in the future.

• Fixed custom games start button.

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
Mega: https://mega.nz/folder/CYUkGSrJ#HVa6Cik59Bgi9pp5NBW4fg
or
Torrent:
https://dss0.cc/alterwarez/download/iw5m_dlcs.torrent

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://anonfiles.com/7fKeK0o4oe/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.

If you need support, make a thread.

Thanks everyone once again
@Pludo The channel is in our staff discord so cannot be seen but it's in good use. Thanks for this thread.

We cannot reveal logs as they would assist hack makers to evade our anticheat, the amount of posts we've had claiming innocence and then admitting the truth means we cannot accept any appeal. We do regularly check our logs for patterns which may indicate false positives but none currently show.

We don't normally allow these threads but instead of deleting I'll just lock it as my post may be useful to others.

We have a channel where we screenshot all the good messages we get, thanks for your kind words

Use the DLC only torrent.

Go buy the game

You should probably use a VPN.

Try adding Plutonium.exe as an antivirus exclusion in Windows Defender. Then re-run plutonium.exe

Hey - I removed your discord link from the mod download link. Please link directly to the files and not to a discord server.

It's a false positive from Defender, we suggest adding an exclusion in defender for %localappdata%/Plutonium and Plutonium.exe

Our files communicate with our back-end and receive a load of server IP addresses to grab the server list, much like a virus might do. Hence it's falsely flagged.

Lets go through some potential common things first.

1. Can you please clear your cache and cookies for plutonium.pw and forum.plutonium.pw and then try again?

2. If that doesn't work - please can you open command prompt and type ping plutonium.pw and then screenshot the results and also type ping forum.plutonium.pw and screenshot the results and reply here with them.

With the above done, I've also sent an email to the email registered on the account you mentioned, please reply back with the code in the email and we can try some other options.

BzLesOP too.
