MW3 Installation Guide (Plutonium IW5, Free)

[[NRNS]SirGuySW]

NRNS hosts a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) server via the Plutonium project.

The Plutonium project has an excellent MW3 installation guide posted on their forums.



Summary of Installation Steps (for more detail and pictures see the linked installation guide above):

• Register for a Plutonium account. You will use your Plutonium account credentials to login when launching the game.
• Install MW3: Any MW3 install will probably work but the method(s) below have been used successfully.
  
  • Steam (Free, 14GB):
    • Launch Steam.
    • Navigate to Library -> Tools (hover over Library, click Tools).
    • Install Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Dedicated Server
    • Run the MW3 server through Steam to allow it to perform first time setup.
    • Close the server window.
• Install Plutonium:
  
  • Download the Plutonium Updater to your /steamapps/common/Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3/ folder.
  • Run the updater (make sure you allow both PU.exe and Updating_PU.exe through any antivirus/firewall/etc.)
  • Enter your Plutonium Login Credentials and click 'Login'.
  • Allow the updater to update if needed.
  • When the updater is finished click the green button in the lower right corner to start Plutonium IW5.
• You can find the NRNS server ("NRNS #1 EU TDM") in the server browser list.
• To launch MW3 again run PU.exe, wait for the update (if any), and click the green button in the lower right of the updater window.

As always, if you have trouble with any guide on our forums or if you have comments or ideas for improvements please let us know by making a post.
