Plutonium

You only see folders because you are supposed to select a folder
This is very common behavior in software and file dialogs in general on computers

Amiri1337 you are reading outdated instructions
Just follow the instructions of the post
https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/22769/zm-encore-v8-mod-menu/1

Antivirus, firewall, DNS, VPN etc

If nothing works try using Cloudflare's DNS or their Warp app

Something on your end blocks the connection to the servers

dolphin balls999 I gave a comprehensive answer + your opinion as a clueless person doesn't define how technology works lol

You invite people through the game, see our documentation
There is no messaging

Create it. It's just a folder

Probably not same game (MP/ZM) or not same version

There's no such thing as "the server"
I assume you're saying the specific server you play on gets higher ping with more players?

Plutonium does not have issues that add ping or anything, being playing at max FPS low ping my entire play time

D.r.o.w.z.y it should save. Did you try checking video settings? I'm fairly sure you don't need console commands

Video settings I believe or use console commands

Go in the bootstrapper command prompt (the console opened when you start the game), or the in-game console
and paste this r_fullscreen 0;r_noborder 1;vid_ypos 0;vid_xpos 0;vid_restart then press Enter

Using a software to mess with the game's memory while NOT in LAN mode can get you banned
Everything else will not get you banned
You don't need to use an injector to load scripts, Plutonium has a built-in GSC tool

2 unknown bad antivirus showing generic detections, no
You should probably not even run VirusTotal scans if you're unable to read them
An actual malware could have 0 detections and a safe app could have several, even dozens of detections

death V2 like any other script yes, but obviously you have to be the host to load your own scripts

erfanm4971 install DirectX

D.r.o.w.z.y is it going out of the screen?
If yes then this might help

Otherwise this (tutorial written for something else, dvar should be r_mode)

Change your video settings without crashing the game (borderless windowed)
Make sure your game is closed before doing that.
Go to %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t4\players
Open the config file with the notepad to edit it.
plutonium.cfg is for singleplayer/zombies and plutonium_mp.cfg is for multiplayer
Change these 4 dvars to be like below (you can use ctrl+f to search for them)

seta r_fullscreen "0"
seta r_noborder "1"
seta vid_xpos "0"
seta vid_ypos "0"

You should always play WAW in windowed borderless to avoid alt tab crashes and vid_restart crashes

Installe DirectX

Make sure your game is in windowed borderless
