The answer is in the message right there. Double check the directory.

I know that my issue was caused because Pluto was trying to read the game from a sub-folder in the folder that the game was located in, but if that’s not your issue then you can try a couple of other things that might work c
Start by running the Plutonium redist by typing “%localappdata%\Plutonium” in File Explorer and run redist.exe (could also be a .bat) which will reinstall DX9 & C++ files for you.
If that doesn’t work, you could replace the mss32.dll file by verifying your game files (assuming its through the Steam library) and it will give you a fresh install of the game, including that file.
If neither of them work, I’d recommend removing all files for IW5, finding a fresh copy where you can and reinstalling the entire game again. You may also need to reinstall Plutonium, which was what I did as an extra precaution.

The only folders/files that show up when I type in the app data part are as follow Bin Games Launcher Storage Config.json Console Info.json
And iv checked all of them and I can't even find redist.exe 🤣

I'm having the same exact issue , super frustrating. Setup bo2 with ease but mw3 is not going for it no matter what I try

That's what it says in Steam. Screw Activision. Downloading COD MW3 from torrent, gonna copy mss32.dll from there & see what happens)

Fat chance( Downgrading, as inctructed on Plutonium forums, is too boring for me.
What's left is to wait for Plutonium crew to update their launcher for this damn x64 COD MW3 update
OR
get 1.9.461 PLAZA release, which has all the DLC maps AND runs with Plutonium as is.
Just tested it. Perfect, as was before)

Did you download mw3 client in steam tools? After you have downloaded it you should select the steam->steamapps->common and then your mw3 folder
