PAYDAY 2: Invitation to open beta focusing on general fixes and synchronization improvements

Hey guys,

The following is information regarding a voluntary beta test. Continue reading if you’re interested in volunteering.

The following is an invitation to an open beta focusing on synchronization improvements and general bug fixes. By testing this with us, we hope to add these changes to the live game as soon as possible.

If it crashes while you play, you can find your crash dumps (file extension .mdmp) in this folder: SteamsteamappscommonPAYDAY 2. Please share this with us by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. As subject, type "Open Beta Crash dump"

The open beta update size: 157.9 MB

1) Right click on PAYDAY 2 in your Steam library

2) Go to properties

3) Go to the "BETAS" tab

4) Switch to open_beta (there is no password)

5) Press "CLOSE"

Do this at your own risk. You might lose your save file so please back it up before you start. This is a beta so the game might crash during play.

If you choose to participate, please uninstall any mods you use. We can’t use your feedback if you have any mods installed, as that feedback won’t reflect the unmodified experience.

When you play the open_beta, please note that you can only play with other open_beta participants.

You keep any progress you get in the open_beta to the live, public version of the game.
