PAYDAY 2

Hello Heisters!

The time has come to trial the upgrades coming to PAYDAY 2. The Diesel engine has been restructured, and even though most of the changes are under the hood, it brings along with it a number of technical improvements players have long been asking for.

This is a huge change, there will be bugs and issues that need addressing. The open beta will be going for the entire month of July to make sure the transition goes smoothly. That being said...

Bug Reporting

We have created a new forum on the steam discussions called Open-Beta Bug Reporting. Please use it to report issues you may encounter. Before reporting, please make sure that the issue is related to the beta. Any reported bugs that existed prior to the beta will be moved to the regular bug reporting forum.

For more information, head over to the \ Engine Upgrade Open-Beta steam post.

How to join the beta

• Open your steam library

• Right-Click on the game PAYDAY 2

• Select "Properties" from the dropdown

• On the left side of the properties panel select "Game Versions & Betas"

• Now select the beta branch "open_beta Diesel 3.0 Beta"

Disclaimer for modded games

Mods will likely be broken and for the beta we want to find un-modded issues, we recommend uninstalling all mods for the duration of the beta. Backing up save data is recommended as some mods (like custom weapons) will be removed from your inventory when uninstalling mods.

We're working with the modding community to keep old modded file formats compatible with new game versions.

Hello heisters!

On the topic of engine improvements, To make sure you're all very aware you can now run the game at maximum texture quality with greater confidence that your game will not get an "out of memory" crash!

We will be streaming this update live on the PAYDAY The Game Twitch account today, come hang out_!_

---

PAYDAY 2: Update 242.1 Changelog

Update Size: 280 MB

Engine

• Improved memory usage by clearing unused textures after loading into a heist

• Out of Memory crashes should be far less common when playing with high textures now

• Added Borderless Windowed mode

Crash Handler

With this update we have integrated our in-engine crash handler from RAID: World War II into PAYDAY 2s engine version. If the game crashes, a new reporting window will appear showing what went wrong. If there are any mods installed, it will also let you know which ones might have contributed to the crash.

This streamlines the bug-reporting process, making mod development easier, while also helps to identify and document stability issues easier.

• The crash handler can be disabled with the -q launch argument

• Crash reports can be attached directly to bug reporting threads on the PAYDAY 2 Discord server.

• Legendary weapon mods will now allow some level of customization that fits with the unique cosmetic kit

• Example: Vlad's Rodina can now change its sight mods, upper body mod, but can't change the barrel, barrel extension, stock, grip or fore-grip because of their exotic parts.

• Warning!: Pre-existing legendary skins must be re-applied before they can be modded!

• When inspecting safe collections the associated legendary skins are now shown instead of a generic icon

• Weapon skins now list their weapon attachments in two alphabetical ordered groups, first for always applied parts and second for conditional parts (eg. akimbos not accepting scopes)

• Changed how skin gui icons are obtained to better support custom weapon skin mods that were broken from the last update

• Sorry for everyone who already updated their skins, you might need to do it again :/

• Fixed a memory leak relating to inventory items that were previously accepted by the player

• Fixed the newly acquired weapon skins popup not showing the skin icons

General

• "The Obsidian Plate", part of the secret puzzle, will no longer demand achievements that are gated by removed IPs that are no longer available unless you already own the DLC

• Your list of achievements can be rerolled by playing the piano with the correct notes again.

• Increased the volume on several of Wolf's voicelines

• If you had a mod that affected these lines, it is recommend you uninstall them to avoid issues

• Fixed titan shutters not playing opening and closing sounds

• Fixed the "Global Warming" achievement not awarding when using a secondary flamethrower

• Fixed the generic loot bags using incorrect textures

• Fixed some potential network crashes relating to ingame characters

Gameplay

• Adjusted sniper laser distances on some maps to not cut off early from far away

• Added a very short delay for the invincibility effect of Shield Marshal's

• They should no longer survive when killed through the shield with an AP weapon or explosion

• Added range falloff to the Shield Marshals stun shotgun

• Slightly increased the size of the Shield Marshal's flash device hitbox

• Shortened the invincibility effect duration on Marshal shields to better match the animation

• Increased bulldozer explosion damage multiplier from 1.1x to 2x

• This was mistakenly added in the last update already, but now we are documenting it proper. The reason for this change is to allow the RPG to one shot most dozers again while not affecting other weapons much

• The "Trigger Happy" skill can now refreshed by hitting an enemy while it's active

• Reduced the rate civilians will scream when scared

• Reduced the opacity on the Sicario perk deck's smoke screen effects.

• Changed the Maniac perk deck stack gain to now account for stacks decaying

• Fixed Hysteria stacks from the Maniac perk deck getting desynced when granted to co-op players

• Fixed a few cases of inconsistent health values for female cops

Enemy Spawns

In the last update, we have reverted the enemy spawn cooldowns to 15-20 seconds, as they were previously. However as many have pointed out that, due to a variety of factors, this made spawns a bit too slow in a lot of situations, and thus the spawn rates have been tweaked once more.

Spawn cooldowns are now based on two factors: How many heisters are in the lobby, and how well your team is doing on the heist. Additionally, when an enemy is killed near their spawn point, the cooldown for that point will be extended slightly to prevent enemies continuously spawning ontop of players.

Regular Spawns

1 Player

10 - 12s

* Team AI count as half players (rounded down, we may switch to rounding up based on feedback)

Note: We will continue to monitor feedback regarding enemy balance and make adjustments to this system. Eventually we would like to be able to set spawn rates on a per map basis, but since this would be a very time consuming process it will have to be implemented across multiple updates.

UI

• Added a numeric display to the Field of View slider

• Field of View can now be increased up to 100

• Added 165 and 240 as fps limit options to support modern monitor refresh rates

• Changed the minimum alpha value on weapon laser mods from 0.5x to 0.1x

Heists

• Framing (Day 3)

• Added lighting that was missing in many rooms

• Fixed some doorways that could trap loot

Reservoir Dogs

• Garnet Group Boutique (Day 1)

Big Bank

• Fixed the lower floor office windows being endlessly broken by cops

• Lowered the Commando 101 Rocket Launchers damage from 6200 to 3900

• This change was made in tandem with the Bulldozer explosion damage multiplier increase, so the weapon still requires multiple rockets to kill Bulldozers.

• Fixed reload timer being shorter than the animation on the Compact 40mm Grenade Launcher. Reload time is now 3.1s, from 2.5s

• Fixed Queens Wrath scope alignment for the Milspec Scope "Piggyback" mode

• Fixed Queens Wrath scope alignment for the Combat Sight "Piggyback" mode

Hello again heisters!

To start with, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude and happiness for the warm welcome by everyone. Thank you guys! All the extra feedback we've been getting has been really useful in knowing what quality of life improvements players (and modders) actually want. Keep it coming, we're listening!

We've taken a careful look at the anti-cheat and DLC checks for both Steam and Epic platforms and have been hard at work making sure you get what you own. If you have DLC issues still please make a bug report forum post so we can fix it.

On-top of all that we got you a few holiday presents as well, so lets start with those!

PAYDAY 2: Update 242 Changelog

Update Size: 150 MB

Wolf has been released from custody

Wolf has unfortunately been neglected for a while, with a lot of missing lines and even some obvious splices that have been joked about in the community for a long time.

But it's time to change that a little bit! Ulf Andersson (With the help of Simon Viklund!) have agreed to pull out the mic one more time to give Wolf another shot. A massive thanks to both of them making this happen.

• Added new Wolf voicelines for marking and killing Medics, and also marking Turrets and Captain units

Steam Inventory

Ever had a skin you liked, but you only used its akimbo version which the skin wasn't available for? This arbitrary limitation has now been removed, letting you use a skin on both single and akimbo versions of guns.

• All previously akimbo-only weapon skins, can now be applied to their single-hand versions

• All previously single-hand only weapon skins, can now be applied to their akimbo versions

General

• Zipline motors are now color coded based on their behavior:

• Orange motors are for lootbags, blue motors are for players. This change is in preparation for a future usability improvement.

• Improved the hair physics on Clover to not glitch out as often

• Implemented missing transitional animation when a player goes from Bleedout to Fatal states

• Fixed an unrolling loop shader issue that could lead to a GPU driver crash on parallax shaders

• In layman terms, VR players should crash less now

• Fixed Epic/Steam crossplay cheat detection for Alienware Alpha Masks and Melee items

• Fixed Epic Game Store players not being awarded items from the Official Soundtrack, the Tijuana Music Pack, and the Xmas Soundtrack

• Fixed the "Leaf" weapon color not unlocking correctly for Epic Game Store players

Gameplay

• Medics (and Medic-Bulldozers) can no longer heal other medics, and can no longer heal while electrocuted

• Reverted enemy spawn cooldowns from 5 seconds to a range between 15-20 seconds

• They were mistakenly set to 5 seconds in a patch, which caused enemy groups to respawn extremely fast.

• Adjusted Captain Winters’ logic to prevent him from getting stuck

• Captain Winters will now announce he sees a heister once he considers the area unsafe

• Reworked civilian hostage path finding to be able to follow heisters more accurately

• Adjusted maximum hostage logic checks from 1 per second to 8 per second

• This should prevent civilians taking long breaks before running, becoming alerted, and many other actions

• Fixed civilians getting stuck in an idle pose when they have no spawn animation

• There's still a few known cases of specific civs getting stuck when the alarm goes off, such as sitting ones on Bank Heist. We'll continue to monitor their behavior.

• Fixed untied civilians sometimes getting stuck in an idle pose

• Fixed civilians skipping their "getting untied" animation

• Fixed completing certain actions causing civilians becoming trapped in a walking animation

• Fixed guards getting softlocked if they try to call the police while an ECM jammer is active

• Updated explosion filtering to prevent minor desync on which body part the explosion hit

• Fixed a rare crash related to enemy navigation

• Fixed the slow-motion effect to not being reset properly when dying, reviving, and dying again in the span of 3 seconds

• Fixed a crash that could happen with Graze or Explosions if the heist ends at the same frame

UI

• Added search boxes to the Crew Management and Briefing Loadout menus

• Updated the lobby code icon on the CRIME.NET menu (thanks to soosh.exe from the community)

• Servers with invalid difficulties now get filtered out and don't appear on CRIME.NET

• Fixed weapon skins list showing too many page numbers when the player has a lot of duplicate skins

• Fixed the player health bar still blinking as a client

• Fixed the visuals on scrollbars being two lines instead of a single one

• Fixed a potential UI related crash on initial startup that was caused by it assuming there is a game session when there sometimes isn't

• Fixed a bug that lead to the creation of invalid weapon mods in the weapon customization menu

Heists

• Big Bank - Fixed detection on sitting civilians acting as if they were standing

• Crude Awakening - Fixed crash when trying to mark the helicopter camera

Weapons

• Enabled Helmet Popping perk card effect for fire weapons (Dragons Breath, Flamethrowers)

• The Shock and Awe aced skill for shotguns now once again rolls the shield knockdown chances for every pellet

• This was change was previously made on purpose, but it was very unpopular with the community. Shotgun knockdown is very strong like this however, so further changes to this interaction may be made. Tell us what you think!

• Added a safety check to prevent duplicate weapon mods with different DLC tags in the customization menu

• Fixed an oversight which caused the Bulletstorm skill in the Enforcer skilltree to have its unlimited ammo effect last for an extended duration when consuming the last bit of an ammobag.

• Instead it will now act as if you refilled both guns completely giving a full 20 seconds effect

• Fixed a crash related to weapon perks for weapons with invalid blueprints

• This issue mostly affected modded weapons

• Fixed Epic/Steam crossplay cheat detection for free versions of the 000 Buckshot ammo type

• Fixed Sniper rifles with the default scope equipped becoming locked if you did not own Gage Sniper Pack, or otherwise disabled it

• Fixed some faulty ownership checks for Legendary weapon skins, Legendary skin owners should no longer get marked as a cheater

• Fixed a mistake where the Akron HC would deal sniper rifle tier damage when equipped on Crew AI

• Fixed a mistake where the R700 having bolt action M60 stats when equipped on Crew AI

• Fixed incorrect materials on the "Midas Touch" Legendary skin

Modding

• Allowed for more file formats to be overridden by assets/mod_overrides folder_: _

• object

• cooked_physics

• environment

• scene

• movie

• shaders

• post_processor

• render_template_database

• decals

• camera_shakes

• world_sounds

• Disabled an unused weapon animation delay mechanic that could cause some reload animations to desync for akimbo weapons

• Custom weapons were also affected by this change, custom weapon modders please check for changes.

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!

Hello Heisters,

Today’s update deals with a number of bugs and quality of life updates. Among the more noticeable is a change in how the game handles any damage over time effects.

The thing we really wanted to bring up in this message however, is that we’ve also bundled a lot of our licensed content in the game into one DLC. We did this in order to ensure you’ll always keep access to the content regardless of any future changes. We’ll make sure to announce ahead of time when/if anything changes, we didn’t want you to worry when you spotted the DLC.

This also means we’ve moved around a few of the requirements of some achievements, again, this won’t affect those who already have them.

Check out the patch notes for today's update (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/218620/view/3880475983255004355).

Edit: To be clear, won't necessarily see this DLC in any list on Steam. It'll be in the background and appear on Steam data basing websites.

PAYDAY 2: Update 240.3 Changelog

Update Size: 29.8MB

General:

• All types of Bulldozers now count for the OVERGRILL achievement.

• Fixed an issue that caused pager outlines to not blink.

• Fixed an issue that would cause the tap to interact cancel prompt to revert to default prompt, for host player.

• Fixed an issue where a equipped mask that was tagged with a locked DLC remained equipped but locked in inventory.

Heist Changes & Optimizations:

• The Biker Heist - Fixed an issue that would display an incorrect string when another player picks up the blowtorch from the mechanic.

• Bulucs Mansion - Fixed an visual issue with a clue book disappearing from view.

• White House - Fixed a possible crash for clients after starting the hack in PEOC.

• Optimized portals on Breakfast in Tijuana heist.

• Optimized portals on Dragon heist.

Portals is a tool to create volumes within the level to decide what objects should be visible from within it; these volumes are local to the player and may have the results of improving performances with FPS.

Network:

• Updated network syncing of player position and camera rotation to be more efficient.

Gameplay:

Reworked and optimized damage over time mechanics and how their effects are handled:

• All damage over time applications are now synced.

• If multiple players apply dot on an enemy, the last attacker is the one that deals damage and gets credited for the kill, but achievements that require a certain amount of enemies to be doted, can trigger for multiple people as long as they applied the dot.

• The grace period on dot application only applies once for a variant of dot, and never applies again unless it expires, meaning that continuing to attack will only benefit the player. Previously, fire encouraged applying dot and to not refresh it.

• Fire dot effects will no longer get removed for all affected enemies whenever any fire dot expires.

• Burning sounds from fire dot will now follow the enemy they're applied to instead of being static on the spot.

• The Moneythrower will now properly apply fire damage over time with the unique money effects.

• Both burning sounds and fire effects will get removed if the enemy is despawned, instead of continuing to play and float around, respectively.

• Enemies that die while doing animations, like climbing and similar, will no longer snap into place when dying to fire damage, and will instead ragdoll like with any other damage sources.

• Projectiles that detonate are now hidden properly for both clients and host when needed (after detonation).

• They also no longer use a timer that requires the projectile to update, saving some performance.

• Fixed some issues of some dots, from incendiary explosions, not applying properly.

• Tweaked the duration of some fire death effects and burning sounds to not end too abruptly.

• Cloakers hiding behind doors should no longer get stuck behind them when attempting to leave.

Weapons:

• Added a weapon firing input buffer to alleviate issues with single shot weapons not firing as expected, when trying to rapid-fire them.

Animations:

• Fixed an issue where getting tased, while using a weapon in "volley" fire mode, would cause some animation issues. It should now only affect the weapon, not the player arms.

• Added a potential fix for enemies popping in for a frame during spawn animations.

• Fixed it so animation freezing works properly. Some animations will now properly freeze at certain points when not in the highest level of animation detail to save performance. If any sort of animation needs to be played, animations are unfrozen again until it's possible to freeze again.

• Fixed root blending on NPCs always being disabled. This should make most animations overall look smoother.

• Recoil animations can now play while moving.

• Recoil animations no longer break crouching and standing, where it was causing units to not crouch or stand when wanting to, which could lead to desync.

• Reload and recoil animations now transition between standing and crouching properly.

• Bulldozer recoil animations should now be much smoother.

• Recoil animations on the Minigun Dozer are also more "punchy".

• Bulldozers and Shields can now flinch against damage (purely cosmetic).

• Fixed an issue causing Shields to play the wrong hurt animations when staggered by skills, resulting in them clipping with their own shield.

• Fixed some issues causing dodge animations to blend too aggressively and end too early, resulting in the unit not moving much.

• Fixed enemies playing panic animations sometimes not exiting them properly and remain crouching in place doing nothing.

• Fixed some issues with bullpup animations snapping.

Achievements:

We have updated the requirements for the completion of certain Achievements. Read up more on it from (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/218620/view/3880475983255019320). The affected Achievements and their updated requirements are listed below:

• UMP for Me, UMP for You - Kill 45 Russian specials on the Boiling Point job with any Submachine Gun on the OVERKILL difficulty or above.

• For Daisy - Complete the Firestarter job on the OVERKILL difficulty or above with your crew using only Pistols.

Soundtracks:

Certain Heist Tracks will be hidden and unavailable for new players after a specific date, read up more on it from (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/218620/view/3880475983255019320).

_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.

Hello Heisters

As you noticed Update 240 was separated into multiple releases. We've had some time to add some QOL and fixes that are hard to fit into a normal production schedule. We are very happy to be able to get these final improvements into the game. For example, in update 240.0 we made the anniversary events automatically return each year the piggy, and the event weapons will come back for those who can get enough of that adorable porker. Also, some holiday cheer will come back around the winter holidays to brighten up our cold heister hearts.

In this release, however, we are adding a new feature to the game that is inspired by popular mods in the community.

Interaction Styles

This feature lets you change how the game handles interactions. The system will lock interaction to let you release the button and avoid holding it down for the duration of the interaction timers. To cancel out of a locked interaction you simply need to press the button again. It is quite a complex system so it needs some explaining, Let's dive into the fun QOL feature.

By looking under "controls" under the options menu you will find all the settings you need. The system has two key components the "Interaction Style" where you choose how the interactions should be handled and the "Toggle Timer" that drives the system. There are four interaction styles to choose from. There is also a cancel message check box more on that later.

Hold

This is the normal default behavior that you are used to. Holding the button to interact, and letting go will cancel the interaction. The Toggle Timer has no effect in this mode.

Toggle

This is the simplest way to lock an interaction. A quick click of the button and the interaction is locked. The toggle timer will be used to determine how long you need to hold the button to cancel the interaction. this is to easily cancel out accidental interactions or when you want to be able to quickly abort an interaction. Setting the Toggle Timer to 0 will make the system function similar to the default hold mode.

For example: if you have a Toggle Timer of 2 seconds the interaction will lock as soon as you press the button but if you hold the button for longer than those 2 seconds the system will revert to the hold mode and you can release their interaction at will.

Recommendation: Have a low Toggle Timmer so you can quickly engage the system but also won't need to wait long for it to deactivate if you choose to hold the interaction instead.

Timed Toggle

This function can be viewed as the reverse of the Toggle. You need to hold the button for a certain amount of time determined by the Toggle Timer before the interaction locks in and keeping the button held will not abort it. Setting the Toggle Timer to 0 will make the system function similar to the Toggle mode, without the ability to automatically abort the interaction by keeping the button held down.

For example: if you have a Toggle Timer of 2 seconds the interaction will function as a normal hold interaction until you've held it for at least 2 seconds then you can release the button and the interaction is locked.

Recommendation: Have a medium Toggle Timmer so short interactions will be effectively held interaction but the system helps you with most interactions of average length and longer like setting up a drill.

Adaptive Toggle

This is a merge between the Toggle and a Hold depending on how long the interaction is as determined by the Toggle Timer. If the interaction is longer than what is set in the Toggle Timer the interaction will instantly look in if it is shorter then it will function like a Hold. Setting the Toggle Timer to 0 will make the system function similar to the Toggle mode, without the ability to automatically abort the interaction by keeping the button held down.

For example: if you have a Toggle Timer of 2 seconds the interaction will function as a normal hold interaction for any interaction that is shorter than 2 seconds and if the interaction is longer it will lock in instantly when you press the button and keep the button held will not abort it.

Recommendation: Have a higher Toggle Timmer so short interactions will be effectively held interaction but the system takes over for long interactions like picklocks.

You know that the interaction has been locked in by the message on the screen, it will change to "Press F to cancel", assuming you have F as your interaction key. If you want you can also get these messages while holding to interact. By selecting the "Cancel messages during hold" you will get messages like "release F to cancel" during the hold interactions.
