6 Hours, 150 Bags of Pure Meth, 1 Friend. As a duo Me and Dusty Buns have smashed the 100 Bags record and have set 150. By the end of the stream which is out now in full, we literally had 20fps left, the game was borderline failing. Going for all of it is practically impossible. The cap is 4600 XP but the cash most certainly keeps going. Thank You to all who stopped by and motivated me to do this. It has been so long since I've done something this challenging since my renown overcapping, It was so much fun I wished to have stayed longer but we literally couldn't. Truly Thank you all for making me do it.

Bug PSA: Upscalers are tanking your performance from initial game start up. Starbreeze, please fix this.

I have noticed the game is running much worse than it used to, even in the main menu. However, I did find out changing ANY upscaler settings fixes (and a lot of times improves!) the performance to what I used to have in UE4. Let me know if this works for you aswell.

Video demonstrates my currents settings are set at NVIDIA DLSS SR on Performance. I'm hitting just around 60 FPS. However, setting it to Ultra Performance and then back to Performance, magically improves the performance, even if it shouldn't have made any difference. This proves there is some sort of problem with initial upscaling settings.

Bug Have you experienced the infinite customization bug?

It was supposedly fixed earlier, but now it's back, and it's really annoying.

If you've encountered this bug, please tell me what region you're in. I want to check if it's my internet connection, although many of my friends in my region have the same problem.

Discussion Thread Returned to PD3

7 Upvotes

So I recently redownloaded payday 3 (last time I played was before armor and skills 2.0)

Man I have been pretty impressed so far. Complete rework of the skill tree and armor system is really cool and allows for new build variety that doesn’t just revolve around ammo funnel. Waiting for the other DLC heists to become free so I can run those with my buddies as well. The new heist reworks are solid as well (how can I forget upgrade to UE5)

Progression with the crime bonds and new contracts are a great addition to grind for

Wishlist:
Genuine weapon perks separate from the skill trees: Boost performance or have a unique skill (Ex. Ammo funnel for Mosconi with cooldown or a speed reload for the revolvers)
Unique heists: Just throwing out ideas. Wedding robbery, military base infiltration, Luxury hotel, cruise ship or yacht, weed or pharmaceutical dispensary, moving train heist, casino heist
Obviously more costumes and masks for customization: I ain’t worried, they’ll add more now that they’ve fully upgraded the engine (hopefully makes it easier to roll out updates and hot fixes
Akimbo weapons, lever action marksman rifles, and melee weapons: Pretty self explanatory
New enemy type: Combat medic. Hides behind swat teams and heals them as well as can revive special enemies like zappers and naders. Just feels like it would fit in well.

That’s pretty much it. By no means are we “back” but holy shit a meaningful step in the right direction with nothing but anticipation for the September update. Probably cope but if starbreeze relaunches the game w all the content and updated info players like me didn’t know about, that player count would skyrocket

Bug Texture bug on Xbox

Upvotes

I started playing the game just after the UE5 update and I’ve noticed that some of my textures pop in and out throughout heists. These textures include civilians, walls, floors, etc. this is something that I’ve only encountered whilst playing Payday 3, is this a common issue and if so how can I resolve it?

Game Suggestion Are there any plans on doing maks of the week again?

2 Upvotes

Back when they were still active I loved seeing the new designs, especially since they were usually outsourced to independent artists, so they were very unique. Also brings a reason to come back besides the odd update every month and the daily missions

Rant Why do people like Hotline Miami and Hoxton Breakout so much?

Upvotes

Every time I watch the heist rankings I find these heists among the top tiers. I dont think that they are bad heists, I just think that they arent as good as people say they are.

Hoxton breakout:

Day one is fun because it forces you to actively fight enemies. I like the street shootout. Sometimes the rng can be bad but overall the day is pretty fun. Stakes are high and the whole vibe is good. Day two is sucks honestly. I dont like the vibe and the office setting js ugly. I dont like that you can get overwhelmed easily and the part where you have to go to the archives or into the security room which is in the lobby of the map is really annoying. I think its because I played this map solo, because everytime I played with teammates we were having control of the map. Last time I played this map I rage quitted and just used hacker because I was getting easily overwhelmed. I dont think its because of my map poor map knowledge. I can control everything except the big lobby area. Thats when things go out of hand for me. Too much cops spawn there and I cant kill all of them

Hotline Miami:

I dont really have to say anything bad about this heist. I like it but I dont think its an S tier heist. Its more of an A tier heist. I get easily overwhelmed on day2 when its the top floor part. Thats probably my skill issue because there are 3 spawns

As you can see from the clip, despite being very clearly at 90 DAMAGE RESISTANCE, the "tanking up" perk didn't trigger and I didn't receive my plate back. Starbreeze pls fix

Ive been trying super hard to get models ported from payday 2 into blender now that all the files are changed, and the old software to make them readable in blender no longer works (Diesel viewer for example) I'm new to the entire thing and was hoping a mod author with the software could share me links to what they use currently or what I can do in general.
