All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everybody, we heard all the commotion and got to work immediately to resolve the biggest issues... And a little nitpick or two.


Changelog

Update Size: 6.5 MB

  • Fixed a crash related to Alt-Tabbing or minimizing the window when using Exclusive Fullscreen during a loading screen

  • Fixed borderless windowed mode not using the configured desktop resolution as its maximum value

  • Fixed a crash related to modded setting menus

  • Fixed a crash related to weapon concealment when playing with overhaul mods

  • Slightly lowered the mid-day environments ambient brightness to reduce some maps looking overly bright

  • Fixed CASSIAN Iron Sights being misaligned on the Rattlesnake sniper

  • Lowered self damage with HE shotgun ammo type to preserve some berserker/speedrunner techniques after the HE ammo type damage buff


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.
