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.

PAYDAY 2: Crude Awakening Heist Delay

Hello Heisters!

We’ve decided to delay the release of the Crude Awakening heist by one day, instead releasing on Wednesday, June 28th, in order to complete some last quality improvements. We try not to delay our updates whenever it can be helped, but at the same time know that you have certain expectations of quality that we don’t want to fail to meet.

Savefiles

Fixed an issue that caused corrupted save files for some players. This should no longer be happening.

We are unable to recover corrupted and overwritten saved files. However, if you had a saved file during the Linux save split late last year, you might have a Linux save file that you can copy and rename. See the guide below.

Fixed an issue where crime spree wasn't working correctly for clients since update 237
Fixed an issue where crime.net online kept rapidly updating multiple visible heists at the same time
Fixed an issue where UI elements of crime spree didn't work as intended for clients
Fixed an issue where the wolf pack didn't work for some players when owning a legacy pack
Fixed an issue where clicking banners in the main menu would result in incorrect URLs for some players
