Old Chaiscript scripts will no longer work, we suggest porting the script over to GSC. Check out the modding section of the documentation for a guide on how to load GSC Mods in IW5. If you technical assistance with your mods post in the MW3 Modding Support & Discussion section on our forums.

• T6:

  • You can now load completely custom scripts without having to replace _clientids.gsc but you still need to compile it.

r1790#

• T4:

  • Structural fixes - Our developers have been working to reverse engineer the data structures that the game uses, we use this to reduce the chances of bugs or crashes.
  • Fixed bots being stuck in CS_ZOMBIE state when kicked from a server. They should no longer stick around when you run the status command.
  • Bots can now use GSC setspawnweapon and switchToWeapon properly.

• IW5:

  • Fixed a bug that caused mp_rust and mp_highrise to crash.

  • Fixed a typo in our default server configs for Zombies, Shi No Numa would not load as the map name was incorrect. It should be nazi_zombie_sumpf NOT nazi_zombie_swamp. Please correct this yourself or grab a fresh copy of the configs from GitHub.

r1715 - Plutonium T4 Release#

• IW5:

  • Intervention sounds fixed.

• T4:

  • First release of T4! - Submit your gameplay clips using the #PlutoniumT4 hashtag on Twitter!
  • Dedicated servers for Multiplayer and Zombies / CO-OP. Use F10 and HOME keys to make the menu appear and disappear. There may be a shortage of servers on release, this should fix itself as more people begin hosting them.
  • sp_minplayers dvar implemented for SP dedis, allows a server owner to configure the minimum amount of players before a zombies/co-op mission starts. If this is set to 2, the game won't start until 2 players join and if a 3rd player joins they will fall in a void until the map restarts. Just use the map_restart command to restart the level. For Zombies, you will sit on the loadscreen until the minimuim amount of players has been reached.
  • Implemented modStats dvar. This lets server owners decide if their mod should use normal stats or it's own custom stats.
  • Unlocked cg_fov dvar. No more max FOV of 80.

  • cg_fovscale and cg_fovmin has been unlocked and you can now enter these console commands at any time.
  • Removed profile system which causes new players on Steam to be unable to play online due a glitch. Plutonium doesn't need this, we use our own.
  • We've incorporated many features from the T4M mod which many players liked to use, let us know if anything is missing and we can see if we can add it.
  • Game controller binds automatically execute when the game starts, saving you having to manually enter the console command.
  • unlockall command can be used to skip the grind and be max rank and max prestige with everything unlocked.
  • The game will now check AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t4\mods for any game mods, it will also check the normal location too for backwards compatability with auto installing mods.
  • Added menu option to allow 16x AA, the default max is 4x.
  • Added zombies workaround - players who connect later than other players will not spawn until the start of the next round, this avoids them spawning into a wall or other objects.

  • Fix for user command overflow some users were getting.
  • Implemented sv_cheats feature bounty.

r1177#

• IW5:

  • Fix slow motion in killcams - they should now be smooth. Trickshotters everywhere will be so happy. This was a bug bounty set by a community member.

• T6:

  • Fixed multiple bugs that caused instability on zombie servers.
  • Fixed various client crashes.

r1166#

• IW5:

  • Kick commands now run on the game thread, fixing possible issues when running custom scripts.

• T6:

  • Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when searching for servers in the server browser.

r1163#

• IW5:

  • Fix various server memory related issues that caused instability.
  • Patched truck collision on Rust to avoid people glitching themselves into the truck.
  • Fix some party related crash when playing a private match.
  • Fixed call vote button. (sometimes appeared behind the friends button on the escape menu)

  • Fixed proficiencies for the Intervention - this was accidentally set to SMG instead of Sniper. You shouldn't be able to add Range proficiency to a god damn sniper rifle.

• T6:

  • Fixed fast_restart command for Zombies - server owners can now send the fast_restart command via console to quickly restart the map.

r1137 - Christmas Update#

• IW5:

  • Added the Intervention. You can now select the Intervention from the Create a Class menu. This includes full camo support as well as weapon attachments and proficiency. Due to how IW5 handles lighting, gold will not look very good on most maps, we suggest using a custom camo. Check the bottom of this thread for some screenshots and a video of some example custom camos.
  • Added preview version of Highrise. This is a compromise between waiting and playing, due to the buggy state of the map we have decided to only allow Contributors to host Highrise on dedicated servers. If you are not a contributor and still want to host the map, you would need to make a custom game. Everybody can play the map on any server that can host it. The map currently has broken shadows and missing objects / objects randomly disappearing. (The crane can scare the hell out of you now) As we fix the map we will push further updates so you will be able to see the progress as we make it. Once the map is finished we will let everybody host it.
  • Fixed performance and input issues on Windows 10. Windows 10 users may have noticed that MW3 has a cap to FPS that can't seem to be moved, this is caused by some inefficient methods being used by the game to support Windows 7. Due to not supporting Windows 7 anyway, we have optimized this for Windows 10 which has improved game performance for most of our testers and some have also reported feeling like the game is more responsive to mouse input. You may see more GPU or CPU usage when playing Plutonium IW5 now as these are not bottlenecked by the game anymore.
  • Main menu FPS unlocked. The main menu and other menu's will no longer cap FPS allowing them to feel smoother than ever.

• T6:

  • Added sv_allowDof to allow servers to prevent people using Depth of Field exploits. This will be useful for competitive server hosters who want to ensure DoF exploits cannot be used. Options are 1 to allow DoF and 0 to force DoF off when playing on your server.
  • Fixed a crash with T6 zombies that caused some players game to quit to desktop.

• General:

  • General bugfixes across all games, launcher, backend and forum.
  • Fixed steam presence. Steam now tracks your game hours again & Plutonium is visible to your friends on Steam again. A Steam update broke this.
  • Fixed RCON issues with IW5/T6 that caused server crashing or instability.

r877#

  • Plutonium Branding added to the top right of the screen, this might be changed in the future.

  • Plutonium.exe will be used to authenticate your forum user account and launch the game.
  • AntiCheat has been enabled. (This is the same anticheat as IW5, as always it won't catch everything but should help.)
  • Various crashes and exploits have been fixed.
  • Unlock All is now done by opening the console and typing unlockall. You do not need to restart.
  • Discord Rich Presence has been added.
  • You now start the game with the Plutonium Launcher (plutonium.exe) which auto checks for updates when it starts, getting you up to date. Do not use t6rmp.exe or t6rzm.exe!

• T6:

  • ServerList is now opened by pressing F10 or Home.

r742 - Native Controller Support#

  • Change team / change class is now blocked on game modes where it is not allowed (same applies for DSR settings).
  • rcon output buffer relocated to allow bigger responses (fixes status command being truncated).

r619 - The Aiming Update#

• General:

  • Backend Improvements - Improvements made to our backend to improve reliability of the serverlist and other backend elements.

• IW5:

  • Aim Down Sight Sensitivity - We've reworked how cg_fov and cg_fovScale behave. Steam MW3 works by slowing down your sensitivity when aiming down sights, pretty standard for 2012 but in 2020 it's hard to adjust back too when playing modern games. Plutonium IW5 now bases this on your FOVScale.
  • Mouse input reworked - That annoying mouse acceleration feeling some players report should be sorted now. This was caused by how the base game handles mouse inputs, again, the effects of an aging game.
  • Forum Avatar Card Icons Fix - Players were reporting seeing their own forum avatar instead of other people's, this has been corrected.
  • Server Plugin Improvements - These now show a windows error code if they fail to load and VirtualProtect must now be called if you wish to edit the memory of the dedicated server.
  • Dedicated Servers - More fixes to aid in stability of dedicated servers and avoid them crashing.
  • Bounces - Bounces are now off by default to avoid out of map abuse caused by unaware server owners.
  • Menu Blur - A blur has been added to the menu background when opening certain menus, such as Create a Class. This should make it easier to see what options you have selected. Players reported that they struggled to see certain options.

r600#

• General:

  • Forum upvotes - Posts can now be upvoted by clicking the thumbs up icon in the bottom right, this can be used to show appreciation for a post.

• IW5:

  • Streamer Mode - cl_enableStreamerMode 1 in the console to activate it. This hides the server name and IP address on the scoreboard, disables Discord rich presence and disables forum avatar cardicons.
  • Forum Avatar CardIcons - Contributors can set their cardicon to FNG and it will show their forum avatar in game. Avatars must follow forum rules or action will be taken, including game bans. Have a look at our forum rules if you're unsure, there is a "use forum avatar" button on the callsign menu in-game which will set your cardicon to FNG. We plan to let everyone use this feature from the 01/06/2020 (dd/mm/yyyy) and use this month to ensure it cannot be abused. Transparency is supported.
  • Discord Rich Presence - now supports joining a game directly through Discord and inviting via discord.
  • AK74-u menu fixes - users reported some menu bugs which we have fixed.
  • Dedicated Server Crash fix - More stability patches for dedicated servers.
  • cg_fov limits extended - The minimum is now 40 and the maximum is 200. This used to be 65 - 180. This is intended to be used with cg_fovScale. Good luck using 40 or 200 FOV without using cg_fovScale too.
  • mp_test - Basically a port of iw4_credits from MW2, used by the developers to test map porting. Only mentioned here to avoid people wondering what it is. Technically servers can include it in their map rotation too, but why would you want to do that?

• Launcher:

  • Launcher Protocol handler - The Plutonium launcher now supports the plutonium:// protocol. plutonium://play/iw5mp for example.

• IW5:

  • Out of memory fixes for servers. Increasing their stability.
  • Rust has been ported from MW2. It is almost a near perfect port. Gone are the bugs from our 2017 release. All game modes are working except Drop Zone which requires some GSC editing which isn't worth our time. A mod could bring this back however.
  • AK-74u has been ported and ready to use. This features fully working camos and attachment support + proficiency and leveling. If you want to make your AK-74u max weapon rank right away then enter these 2 commands in your console.
    • setPlayerData weaponRank iw5_ak74u 30
    • setPlayerData weaponXP iw5_ak74u 179600
  • Clantags are now displayed in chat with colour removed. Clan tag colours remain on the scoreboard.
  • Create a Class now locks guns if you are not the correct level, previously everything was unlocked from level 4.
  • In-game console reworked with autocomplete support.
  • cg_drawFPS does not reset every time you launch the game anymore.
  • We've added an ingame friends list - this can be accessed from the main menu or when in a match. You can see what server your friends are playing and double click to join them. More features to this are expected in future updates. To add friends check this guide.
  • Discord Rich Presence. Discord will now show what game you are playing, which server you are in and some info about that server.
  • waypointIconWidth / waypointIconHeight now saves to config. These are used to determine how big the objective markers are. Some people like them way smaller.
  • Scoreboard now shows the correct hostname, this is now taken from the hostname that is set when registering a server key.

• Launcher:

  • Some slight Launcher UI changes.

• General:

  • The backend will now force a 2nd instance of the game to error if it tries to join a game whilst you are already in a game.

• IW5:

  • sl_noTrickshot has been added, open the console and type sl_noTrickshot 1 to remove any servers from the serverlist that have trickshot in their name. This should help players with a normal playstyle find the games they want quicker. Type sl_noTrickshot 0 to swap this back to default and see all servers.
  • com_maxfps now sets your max FPS correctly without making you teleport.
  • Start button for private match has been fixed.
  • Bot command has been added, this can be used in private match by typing bot into the console to spawn a bot. Entering the command again will spawn another bot. These bots simply walk in circles and shoot.
  • cg_fovScale has been unlocked.
  • Server name now appears on the scoreboard so you can quickly check what server you are in.
  • UltraWide support has been added, so all you boys with curved monitors can enjoy the game! set r_aspectRatio to 4 (custom) and then change r_customAspectRatio to the value corresponding to your screen. This value should be set to 2.33 for 21:9 screens (21 / 9 = 2.33). Run vid_restart afterwards to apply these changes.
  • Theater should be fixed now and correctly recording games.
  • Main menu fixes have been put in place to make it more stable and easier to access certain buttons.
  • Game rules now reset before joining another match. No more infection game rules overflowing into normal matches.
  • Custom cardtitle background's have been fixed, you're not forced to use FNG background if you use a custom cardtitle anymore.
  • Steam now shows you as playing Plutonium IW5.
  • New exploit found and patched by Snake, this exploit is in the original MW3 base game and would allow you to crash another players game.
  • Names now show as green or red, and not multicoloured. This was causing confusion and led to deaths due to thinking somebody was friendly.
  • If you attempt to join a server with a DLC map you don't have, rather than a hard crash you will now be booted to the main menu and given an error message.
  • Hovering your mouse over a map name will show a preview of the map.

• Launcher:

  • Launcher now lets you change game directory again..

• IW5:
  • Extra patching of the exploit mentioned in the last update.
  • Bans reversed that triggered overnight due to exploit abuse.

r363#

• IW5:
  • cg_fovScale is now unlocked & saved to config. We had a good few requests for this.
  • The bootstrapper can only run the game once now, this was found to be triggering anticheat bans when people opened the game twice. (Quite how or why they did that we will never know).
  • Process no longer runs in high priority. if you want it to run in high priority, you can add -high-priority to the command line. This caused mouse problems for some players so this has been swapped, this was a MW3 base game problem. If you still have problems, ensure your polling rate is under 125Hz.
  • The game no longer touches input devices (microphones). this might fix the issue where people with microphone-related software on their machine cannot launch the game. Some people reported static noises, this is caused by the MW3 base game, it would max their input volume when launched and some people had the option "listen to this device" enabled.
  • Rcon bug found that caused server instability, this has been patched and confirmed as working by various server owners.
