Setting up T6 with the Plutonium Launcher#

Navigate to Black Ops 2, click on SETUP and then select your Black Ops 2 game folder.
The folder you need to select is most likely either called pluto_t6_full_game or Call of Duty Black Ops II.
Do not select your Games folder or your Document folders. Select the folder with Black Ops II files in it!

• If you are using a Steam copy it will be in this location: {Drive letter}\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops 2

• If you are using the torrent it will be in a folder named pluto_t6_full_game

(If you ever need to reselect the game folder, simply click on Game Settings next to the PLAY button)

For those struggling to locate your game folder, this is what the contents of the game folder will look like:

T6 Error: Invalid Game Path#

If you get this error then the folder that you selected during the setup doesn't contain the game files.

If you get this error then this means you selected your entire disk instead of the game folder.
C:\ is not your Black Ops II folder.

In both cases, the way to fix this issue is to click on Game settings in the launcher and to select the folder that contains the Black Ops II files.
If you can't find it then read the guide from the start again.

Congratulations you have completed the installation guide.

To launch BO2 simply open the Plutonium launcher and select PLAY.
