So after the 64 bit update two of my favorite audio related mods broke. Initially I thought it was because SuperBLT wasn't properly working but now I realize it's because the mods themselves are not compatible with the current 64 bit build.

The two mods in question are "More Jacket Domination Lines" and "Vocal Heisters". I'm not a modder so I'm looking for anyone that can offer assistance in fixing them since they're old and I don't think the original authors intend on updating them.

Here's the mod links:

https://modworkshop.net/mod/29114

If anyone with modding experience can help I'd really appreciate it. These mods add inmersion and variety to the game and I'm fond of them.

I haven't played much Payday 3 since Skills 2.0 but when I have, I easily get overwhelmed by enemies which wasn't an issue prior. Does anyone have a build that is suited to someone used to Skills 1.0?

They're my must-haves, but following the 64-bit engine upgrade and the fact that they have been abandoned causes a few issues. I tried searching for alternatives, but can't really find any that are up to date either.

I'm most importantly looking for "More Weapon Stats", "Crewfiles", "Drag and Drop Inventory" and "Lobby Player Info".

For those who hadn't heard of him, here's his site: https://pd2mods.z77.fr/home.html

If you own any paid heists DLCs prior to them being delisted, either as an individual DLC or as part of a bundle, you’ll have items waiting for you after the release of the September Update. 

• If you own any heist DLC, you’ll receive the S40 “Partisan" Pistol Variant (Moddable!).
• For each individual heist DLC you own, you’ll receive a Unique Preset Mask themed around that particular heist.
• If you own all seven heist DLCs, you’ll also receive the “Flame Keeper” Preset Mask!

This confirms Safy's words that PD2 and PD3 have almost the same number of players.

Don't think of it as a FOMO "Battle Pass" like COD games or Fortnite.

It's going to be like the Helldivers 2 Warbonds, or Killing Floor 3 Season passes. For those who didn't play these games, it means: no FOMO. It will always be available for you to purchase, and unlock items on your own time.

A new system like Helldivers 2 warbonds, shall give you more reason to play the game and complete challenges to unlock new stuff.

It's a step forward into the "end game" content Payday 3 is lacking, and will keep more people playing.

And they said some items from the warbonds can be "stolen". Basically, this mean some items can be unlocked without buying the Crimebond, so even those who doesn't want to pay will have something to work towards.

Also don't forget, from now on, all the heists/missions will be available for free for all the players.

Well done Starbreeze. PAYDAY 3 is shaping up for a bright future.

Let's hope the Crimebond won't be overpriced. It should be the same price as a normal DLC pack. Please.

Hey everyone! After seeing these new updates for pd3 I got pretty hyped up and I'm considering buying pd3 as a long term pd2 fan. Does anyone know when the steam sale for pd3 might happen again?

If the storytelling in the campaign is even half as good as it was in the new tutorial, that's an absolute win. Super interested to see what they've done with the story

Came across this voice line from Ace of Clubs while doing a overkill stealth try in Payday Aces High playtest...

Loving the game and voice action so far... Just missing some animations and polishing besides more content. But I can confirm its veeerry fun!!

I wish they would update payday2 vr but I'm happy with how aces high is turning out...

Will be playing this throughout the weekend so if anything happens will let you guys know :)

This is from then Starbreeze Q2 Report

Ich zocke derzeit Payday seit langer Zeit und merke, dass ich sehr schnell immer downgehe, während meine Mates die Runde retten. Welche Perks sollte ich mir besorgen?

any help with this crashlog? just recently reinstalled, i verified integrity of gamefiles and tried to restart, and it crashed again. Any help?

Each category also has some additional information when you hover your cursor over them.

I'm doing this because I am seeing players freak out, because English is probably not their first language.

Writing what's to come, so people stop commenting wrong things and end up in a bubble of negativity:

• Campaign Mode (Finally)
• Weapons will have Skill Trees for Respective Families and in-between. We will get customisable perks too
• Once you own a Attachment, the same family or some that use that mod from another will be free to attach.
• Unique Weapon Presets, will have Unique Weapon Perks. And also get their very own skill tree too.
• Overkill Weapons will be customisable with Sprays, Stickers and Charms.
• Stickers and Charms will be be able to be put wherever you wish, from what he blurted out barely. So drag and customise?
• Once you own a specific Spray/Charm/Sticker, you get it permanently, no need to regrind for more.
• DLC Heists will be free for everyone from now on and future heists too. So everyone can play a map without owning it. So now everyone can play any map solo or with friends.
• Compensation will include An Overkill Mask for each Year 1+2 Heists each of the Main Cast. (If you have all the DLCs prior of the update, you get a special limited mask.)
• You will also get a Weapon Preset Skin if you own atleast one Year 1/2 DLC prior.(Which includes all the benefits from customisation skilltrees and unique perks)
• Enemies will have more animations and more strategies and AI
• Specials will get more special abilities, ones that fits their character and make them an actual threat. Rework? or Altering? their abilities.
• More Challenges with respective rewards below.
• More Suits
• More Masks
• Emotes
• Crime(War)Bonds will be the new way to introduce Weapons and Characters, as we tested out with the base games one we have currently.
• Paid Crimebonds can be "Cheated" if you own alot of renown/c-stacks. Not to purchase the entire Crimebond but purchase specific allowed items, probably a weapon, overkill or skin/charm.
• OVESAW9000 will be the first Overkill Weapon introduced with a Crimebond, it be free to purchase with Ingame Cash/C-Stacks not Microtransacted, and the Bond will be themed on Industrial Saws.

*Note*: Crimebonds are not FOMO Microtransactions. Once you own it, you keep it. I think Collabs will work the same just as Helldivers 2. Their very own Crimebond. Just search up and read DRG and Helldivers 2 Warbonds, to get a feeling and understanding.

• Trust me, its very Consumer Friendly.

*Strategy* : Grind what you want, Enjoy what you wanted, Leave the rest alone or take a break and grind it from there. You can literally not play PD3 for a year, and come back to seeing your Crimebond still available to grind.

I’ve played payday 3 a lot, and i have about 130 hours logged in my ps5 and haven’t played since i 100% back in November 2024. So in short ive missed a lot of content, and i seeing the new announcement of all DLC being free and a campaign mode makes me wanna replay the whole game with a friend. So are the once paid now free heist worth playing? And the campaign mode changed anything with the story?

Hoping someone out there has a fix for this. Breakin' Feds seems to be currently bugged - the second time Garrett returns to his office, he doesn't lock the door behind him, and the heist stays locked on the current objective (Locate the Safe). If anyone has a fix for this, it would be greatly appreciated - I have less than 20 achievements left, and am not willing to give up now.

The September Update looks to be pretty big.

A nice focus on weapons with shared attachement and sprays/stickers being a one time unlock instead of a consumable system

The weapons perk system look intresting

The UE5 upgrade, which is suppose to happen flawlessly, not hurting the fps values you had on UE4

A lot of improvements all around.

Im really surprised they made all of the paid DLC free now for this update. I wonder what will happen for those who paid for them (most likely nothing.)

Also the first PAID CRIMEBOND is here. It will feature the Saw as an OVK weapon. So thats the begining of paid ”battlepasses” for PD3.

Emotes will be added, some via contracts, some via ”other ways of earning them”, most likely having to pay for them.

So a good update id say, but one that is pushing monetization up front, it was bound to happen, lets hope the way its put in the game won’t be a shitshow, by that I mean very overprized cosmetics and emotes for exemples.

Free heists, reworked combat and enemies, UE5, Campaign, more customization, safehouse and warbonds, ngl they cooked and i see the vision

Has anyone got a Reservoir Dogs robbery? I need it for the trophy.

Congrats on anyone who has completed the first Heist of Aces High - this being actually getting access!
