[h2]Hello heisters![/h2][p]New year, new updates. Welcome to the official first year of updates coming to PAYDAY 2![/p][p]This update focuses heavily on engine improvements, mod support, crash handling, balance adjustments and as always more quality of life![/p][p]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![/p][p][/p][p]We will be streaming this update live on the PAYDAY The Game Twitch account today, come hang out![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr]

PAYDAY 2: Update 242.1 Changelog

[h2]Update Size: 280 MB[/h2][p][/p][h2]Engine[/h2]

[p]Improved memory usage by clearing unused textures after loading into a heist[/p]
- [p]Out of Memory crashes should be far less common when playing with high textures now[/p]
[p]Added Borderless Windowed mode[/p]
[p]Included the correct version of the D3D9 extension library with the game, allowing players who don't have it installed on their system to launch the game without errors[/p]
[p]Added a lua function for enabling editor physics bodies to help with custom heist creation: [/p]
```
Application:set_force_editor_physics_bodies( boolean )
```

[p][/p][h3]Crash Handler[/h3][p]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.[/p][p]This streamlines the bug-reporting process, making mod development easier, while also helps to identify and document stability issues easier. [/p]

[p]The crash handler can be disabled with the -q launch argument[/p]
[p]Crash reports can be attached directly to bug reporting threads on the PAYDAY 2 Discord server.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Steam Inventory[/h2]

[p]Legendary weapon mods will now allow some level of customization that fits with the unique cosmetic kit[/p]
- [p]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.[/p]
- [p]Warning!: Pre-existing legendary skins must be re-applied before they can be modded![/p]
[p]When inspecting safe collections the associated legendary skins are now shown instead of a generic icon[/p]
[p]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)[/p]
[p]Changed how skin gui icons are obtained to better support custom weapon skin mods that were broken from the last update[/p]
- [p]Sorry for everyone who already updated their skins, you might need to do it again :/[/p]
[p]Fixed a memory leak relating to inventory items that were previously accepted by the player[/p]
[p]Fixed the newly acquired weapon skins popup not showing the skin icons[/p][p][/p]

[h2]General[/h2]

[p]"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[/p]
- [p]Your list of achievements can be rerolled by playing the piano with the correct notes again.[/p]
[p]Increased the volume on several of Wolf's voicelines[/p]
- [p]If you had a mod that affected these lines, it is recommend you uninstall them to avoid issues[/p]
[p]Fixed titan shutters not playing opening and closing sounds[/p]
[p]Fixed the "Global Warming" achievement not awarding when using a secondary flamethrower[/p]
[p]Fixed the generic loot bags using incorrect textures[/p]
[p]Fixed some potential network crashes relating to ingame characters[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Gameplay[/h2]

[p]Adjusted sniper laser distances on some maps to not cut off early from far away[/p]
[p]Added a very short delay for the invincibility effect of Shield Marshal's[/p]
- [p]They should no longer survive when killed through the shield with an AP weapon or explosion[/p]
[p]Added range falloff to the Shield Marshals stun shotgun[/p]
[p]Slightly increased the size of the Shield Marshal's flash device hitbox[/p]
[p]Shortened the invincibility effect duration on Marshal shields to better match the animation[/p]
[p]Increased bulldozer explosion damage multiplier from 1.1x to 2x[/p]
- [p]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[/p]
[p]The "Trigger Happy" skill can now refreshed by hitting an enemy while it's active[/p]
[p]Reduced the rate civilians will scream when scared[/p]
[p]Reduced the opacity on the Sicario perk deck's smoke screen effects.[/p]
[p]Changed the Maniac perk deck stack gain to now account for stacks decaying[/p]
[p]Fixed Hysteria stacks from the Maniac perk deck getting desynced when granted to co-op players[/p]
[p]Fixed a few cases of inconsistent health values for female cops[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Enemy Spawns[/h3][p]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.[/p][p]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.[/p]

[p][/p]

[p]Low Drama[/p]

[p]Regular Spawns[/p]

[p]1 Player[/p]

[p]* Team AI count as half players (rounded down, we may switch to rounding up based on feedback)[/p][p][/p][p]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.[/p][p][/p][h2]UI[/h2]

[p]Added a numeric display to the Field of View slider[/p]
[p]Field of View can now be increased up to 100[/p]

If you have DLC issues still please make a bug report forum post so we can fix it.[/p][p]On-top of all that we got you a few holiday presents as well, so lets start with those![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr]

PAYDAY 2: Update 242 Changelog

[h2]Update Size: 150 MB[/h2][p][/p][h2]Wolf has been released from custody[/h2][p]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.[/p][p]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.[/p]

[p]Added new Wolf voicelines for marking and killing Medics, and also marking Turrets and Captain units[/p]

[p]Fixed Epic Game Store players not being awarded items from the Official Soundtrack, the Tijuana Music Pack, and the Xmas Soundtrack[/p]

- [p]They were mistakenly set to 5 seconds in a patch, which caused enemy groups to respawn extremely fast.[/p]
[p]Adjusted Captain Winters’ logic to prevent him from getting stuck[/p]
[p]Captain Winters will now announce he sees a heister once he considers the area unsafe[/p]
[p]Reworked civilian hostage path finding to be able to follow heisters more accurately[/p]
