Plutonium

OwNuT special characters pretty much means any non english character. So yes as said above the é character was probably what was causing the launcher to not be able to read the path.

@MazikeenX only thing I can tell you is that it's using the exe files in %localappdata%\Plutonium\bin with the exes in %localappdata%\Plutonium\games as an argument. Don't know how it works exactly or if it has other arguments but maybe this will help you.

If you're using a game launcher like GOG Galaxy then you could either launch plutonium.exe instead of the game directly or create a macro that starts the launcher and click on Play or wait for an answer from staff.

Ensup Hamachi n'est pas nécessaire mais ça peut faciliter le processus si vraiment tu galères mais bon c'est même pas inclus dans les instructions officielles sur Plutonium.

Pour faire une partie privée avec un ami lis le guide Custom game with friends et si tu comprends pas utilises un traducteur.

funkalicious you can either host a custom game or a dedicated server but a dedicated server is harder than private game and you can't host a dedicated server if you can't host a custom game

Having trouble hosting a custom game either means the host did something wrong or has something still blocking the connection (firewall, antivirus firewall etc.)
Make sure you follow the Custom game with friends guide correctly and check your router/firewall/antivirus firewall to see if something could be blocking the connection.

The 2 ways you can be joined is either by double clicking on the host name in Friends list when he's in-game or by using the connect command while he's in-game (check the Custom game guide)

If with all that you still can't get it to work you can try using Hamachi but this isn't really recommended. It really is a last resort.

Make sure you follow the Custom game with friends guide correctly and your router/firewall/antivirus firewall is not blocking the connection.

@ghexD As I said you need a paid VPN that supports torrenting

@ghexD any paid VPN that supports torrenting. Mullvad if you care about privacy, NordVPN if you don't care about it. But any paid VPN that supports torrenting will do.

Avdex no

HeyBro1214 what is your antivirus? Maybe you didn't read it all and missed something important.

Locosteve4526 Read the Custom game with friends guide pinned in the BO2 Support section. Make sure you read everything and do it correctly and make sure nothing is blocking the connection on the host PC (firewall, antivirus firewall)

pzamo55 I'm pretty sure if you read the pinned topics like Key Links or searched for "fov" on the forum you would've found how to change the fov, it's one of the most basic command.

Read the anticheat policy, no unban. Next time make sure to follow the instructions on the anticheat policy and the Modding section on the forum.

XXXSIMPNATION Read Error: Black screen when starting the game but can hear the menu music in the FAQ, maybe this will fix your issue.

Tortoisee Read what I said and do exactly what I said.
"A screenshot of your BO2 path in the launcher (Game settings next to Play)"

In the meantime you can try to repair your game.

Tortoisee not seeing the files is the normal behavior. This is because the file explorer that Plutonium opens is in view directories only mode (because you're supposed to select a folder so no point in showing files too)

As for the error send those 3 screenshots :

• A screenshot of the error
• A screenshot of your BO2 files
• A screenshot of your BO2 path in the launcher (Game settings next to Play)

NoDude send a screenshot of your BO2 folder and another screenshot of your BO2 path in the launcher (click on Game settings next to the Play button)

noalefu6 you have to specify the mod and the map to load in the .bat and the .cfg of your server

The launcher updates itself when you start it. If it's not doing it this means you pinned the launcher while it was running.
To fix this unpin Plutonium from your taskbar, make sure Plutonium is closed and pin plutonium.exe again.

If this still doesn't work maybe getting clean files from the install guide would fix this.
