Laserpoint29 torrents themselves aren't a problem, they're just a way to share files just like Google Drive but some countries will annoy you if torrent, even legal files and obviously if you don't own the game and get the files then that's piracy. It's up to you to know the risks depending on your country and ISP.

If you wanna make sure you're safe then either buy the game on Steam or on a trusted key site like Instant-Gaming or use a VPN while torrenting. Note that not all VPNs allow torrenting and there are no free one that allow it, at least not for 13gb. You can always buy a cheap VPN that allows torrenting or grab one that has a 30 days test period where they refund you if you say you don't like the product.

shefsito you didn't tell me what your antivirus so it's hard to help without all the information

iXA7L The issue doesn't come from Plutonium and you just have to have basic network knowledge. If you want Plutonium to host servers for people so that they don't have to port forward you can always donate hundreds of dollars per month. The steps are really easy, you either do it wrong or have something blocking the connection idk

@ifarC Servers are run by players so if you got banned from a server this means the server owners banned you, not Plutonium. If that's your case then you should contact the server owners on their Discord server or their website.

Kaziiii You can open the console with FN + Esc

SpecialOpsPepe Afaik you can't do that, see the staff answer on this topic

What I could recommend is binding the command to a key that you'll press when in-game to set your fovScale again. You could do that with /bind P "cg_fovscale N" ofc replace P with any unused key and N by the number you want. If you have issues with /cg_fov too you can use /cg_fov_default to make it permanent.

shefsito what is your antivirus? Adding Plutonium and BO2 folder as exclusions could help. Guide here
Also try to run the Redist-Installer just to make sure you have every redist required.

SaFizeV2 Anticheat ban policy that you should have read clearly says that the anticheat is always active in online mode even in solo/custom game so just wait for the unban and follow the instructions next time.

iXA7L Make sure you are in-game when your friend is joining and also make sure nothing is blocking the connection like firewall or antivirus firewall. If this still doesn't work then you either did something wrong when or one of you has something blocking the connection (VPN, firewall etc.)

• Make sure your game is in windowed borderless, not in fullscreen
• Make sure there are no mods in the Activision mods folder
• If you got this map from a server the files could be broken so if the 2 suggestions above don't work I'd recommend deleting the mod and getting the files yourself instead, at least for this mod. You can download maps from the custom maps recommended websites.

N1ghttyBruh You either have to backup steam_api.dll and put it in the BO2 folder again when you wanna play using Steam (to access campaign) or repair your game in Steam every time you wanna play on Steam again. You could also either have 2 separate BO2 installations or get a small batch script to move the file accordingly. I could create that script for you if you want.

Agustintineo You should try to read a bit before asking for such things, that's a common question already listed in FAQ

@Syhena This is used by both Steam online games developers and pirates to use that "developer sandbox" to fake connection or something to be used for multiplayer on cracked games but it's not always related to piracy, it's a developer stuff that got used by pirates.

stinkie_ Add Plutonium folder and BO2 folder as exclusions in both. Tutorial here
Also repair your game just in case.

stinkie_ what is your antivirus? Even if it is disabled some of them can still cause issues.

Hopirri no one does that what are you even saying? You either have shitty internet that starts lagging at some point, downloads that start at some point in the background or the server you're playing on has issues.

@SayKo_ is there anything you're doing minutes before you crash? Like using alt tab, opening an overlay or something like that?
Also you should upload the crash dump so that staff can take a look at it

@SayKo_ What is your antivirus? (even if it is disabled)
Also you could try to repair your game.
