Common issues

Error: Unable to load import _BinkWaitStopAsyncThread@4 from module binkw32.dll

Fix: You selected the wrong game directory in the Plutonium launcher. You must select your Black Ops 2 game folder.

E: The procedure entry point AddDllDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll
F: Running an outdated Windows install is a bad idea, running an outdated Windows version that is so badly cracked you can’t even update it is even worse. Install all Windows updates.

Error: Failed to start launcher: exit status 1073741515 or 3221225781 or 3221225775

F: Download and install https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe Visual C++ 20015-19 x86 redist. Restart your PC then relaunch the launcher. If doing so does not fix it, then download and run the following program to install all missing runtimes: https://www.computerbase.de/downloads/systemtools/all-in-one-runtimes/

E: The code execution cannot proceed because D3DCompiler_47.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
F: D3DCompiler_47.dll is part of Microsoft’s DirectX 9.

E: The code execution cannot proceed because XINPUT1_3.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
F: XINPUT1_3.dll is part of Microsoft’s DirectX 9.

E: PlutoT6 crashes when a fifth player connects on Origins
Origins doesn’t support more than 4 players and when a 5th player joins it crashes with an out of bound exception in the gsc.
F: Limit it to 4 players.
F: Install JezusLizard his fixed GSC files.

E: UI ERROR 5XXXX (eg 58339)
F: Your stats file is corrupted, either use resetStats or delete your dw folder inside t6r/player. ALL PROGRESS WILL BE LOST AND DO NOT UNLOCK AN EXTRA CLASS SLOT!

E: EXE_CONFIGSTRINGMISMATCH
F: You are either missing some DLC files or you suck at pirating, either way download some clean files.

E: Check board loading screens
F: You are missing DLC files, download them or try another map

E: Waiting for more players…
F: Open the console and type xpartygo (This will force start the game)

E: Could not load default asset ‘’ for asset type ‘ddl’

F: If you receive this error it means you are using an outdated version of the game (SKIDROW/NOSTEAM) or your game files are corrupted. The only solution is to delete the game files and reinstall using clean files. See #readme on the Pluto Discord for a link.
