my experience with windowed is rather bad, id suggest changing it to fullscreen. Thats the first thing u can change that would make a difference without much troubleshooting

@AutisticLulu I didnt ask for advice on what quality to use, i wanted to know if its something that they are maybe gonna take a look at in the future or not. Because the game starting without sound under certain circumstances IS an issue.

@Zaid your game being on max settings shouldnt be the cause. Your gpu is powerfull enough for this old game. If youre fine with low settings you can leave it at that but trying out each option, then playing to see what exactly the culprit is would be helpfull. Then you dont have to sacrifice quality

make sure to set an exception for plutonium.exe in your anti virus software or turn it off

@Xerxes well sadly the performance isnt good enough on dx9. My server evolves around having stable 333. Would u know any other solutions? If not i guess imma just return it again sooner or later

So i recently switched to a 6900xt and lo and behold what they said about dx9 games was true, cant seem to get stable 333 on any of the pluto games. So now i tried to find fixes for the poor performance and stumbled upon DXVK. The only issue now is since pluto is being used to start the games i cant manage to get DXVK to work, the games are still in dx9.

Any recommendations or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

@HannesC Yes the latest nvidia drivers are installed after performing a wipe with DDU. Would there be any other way to troubleshoot this problem? Or forcing logs that i could share

@HannesC yeah now its back to not starting again even after entering these commands. This is also on a fresh boot / no other programs running.
Edit: could that be of relevance?

@HannesC it didnt even launch before, just the cmd as shown in the pic. I tried the commands and that seemed to start my game normally again. It still is a bit weird because sometimes it just reverts back to not starting but atleast i can go ingame now so thx for that! And no i dont have any overlay running when im starting the game (no dc, nvidia, rtss and so on)
