Hello heisters!

We've got a much deserved stability update for you right here, but before that a quick introduction from us - the Sidetrack Games team! We are a small team of ex-modders turned developers of RAID: World War II. We're familiar with the engine and the pitfalls that come with it and are doing our best to make PAYDAY 2 on PC a smooth experience.

It has to be said, we can't focus on every single aspect of the game at once, and that some fixes will take time to implement and test thoroughly - The last thing anyone wants is to make things worse, so don't fret if something is not immediately fixed!

~Sidetrack Games :dallas:

Updates may be incompatible with the mods you may have installed. Even seemingly unrelated mods may cause unexpected issues. If you are experiencing any problems with the game; try removing any mods you may have installed and try again.

If you are having issues with an unmodded game you can try to verify the integrity of the game files. In the Steam library; right-click on PAYDAY 2. Select "Properties" from the menu. Under the tab "LOCAL FILES" select "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES...". The process may take some time to finish.
