Plutonium

WAW doesn’t support dual-binding via the in-game menu, so you’ll have to edit your config file manually through:

%localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t4\players

Open your profile folder (the one with a long number) → open config.cfg in Notepad.

Find the line for your X button — it’ll look like:

bind BUTTON_X "+reload"

or

bind BUTTON_X "+use"

Replace it with:

bind BUTTON_X "+usereload"

That makes X both reload and use — it reloads normally, and interacts when you’re near something usable.

Im having the same error! did u get urs after changing name on plutonium?

No, this feature is quite straightforward and shouldn’t interfere with the launcher in any way. It simply couldn’t establish a secure connection to one of its update or authentication servers.

Should this problem persist, there’s a fix above.

GateDiggers said in How do I add bots to my game?:

the bots just run around in circles. Any way to make them actually challenging other than just target dummies?

The default bots are pretty limited. They tend to just patrol aimlessly or get stuck in loops because the AI wasn't meant for full multiplayer simulation. If the bots just run in circles, grab the Bot Warfare mod — it makes them way smarter to move objectively around the map like real players.

Just drop the mod in your MW3 mods folder, launch it from the Mods menu, and start a private match with bots. You can tweak their skill level too.

Without that mod, the default bots are basically brain-dead target dummies.

TL;DR

Install “MW3 Bot Warfare” → fixes 95% of the problem.
Play objective modes (Domination, Demolition for example) for better behavior.
Tune difficulty and settings for realism.

Yes, this is actually a known issue when using the “Bot Warfare” mod (for the Plutonium IW5 project). You’re not alone in seeing weird unlocks in-game.

The mod may be overriding or “spoofing” your weapon levels/unlocks (showing you “unlocked” but not actually toggling the flags/server-side data that allow equip/display of the attachments).

The client-side UI might show the unlocks while the game engine still requires certain server or profile flags to truly allow equipping/displaying them, or there could be a mismatch between the modded environment and the official progression.

What you can try, since you want to unlock them on your own:

Use a clean profile or server. If you don’t mind resetting, try playing without the mod (or disable the mod) for a session and see if your unlocks behave normally. That helps determine if the mod is indeed causing the glitch.

Check mod settings/menu. The Bot Warfare mod has its own menu/DVARs including load-out and rank settings. Maybe there’s a setting that forces “max rank/unlock” behaviour.

Play standard multiplayer/not modded match or switch to a server that doesn’t use the mod to see if attachments/camos show correctly.

Check for updates to the mod. There might be a known bug or a patch (the GitHub lists versions 2.2.0, 2.3.0) which may address unlock/level issues. Or else, contact the mod author or the modding community to see if anyone has a workaround for the issue.
