PAYDAY 3: Update 1.4.3 Preview

Hello Heisters, 

We wanted to address a few of the issues that arose following Update 1.4.2.

While the update came with great things such as a new UI, a server browser and VoIP, they all came with new challenges to overcome.

Here, we’ll discuss the things we’re looking at resolving in the short-term and what will require a bit more of a time investment.

Let’s begin with what we’re going to manage to resolve in the short-term.

• Setting VoIP to off by default.  If you’ve already played after Update 1.4.2 – you’ll keep that same setting you have currently.
• There’s a tricky issue on Xbox causing very long load times, and we’re doing two things on that topic:
  • We’ve temporarily reenabled the quickfix some players were using to alleviate the loading time bug – you can manually uncheck DLCs, it may help reduce the load times for some players.
  • We’re adding telemetry to help us track down the issue and resolve the problem. If you are experiencing this issue, please consider turning telemetry on, even if temporarily.
• We’ve added a more descriptive error message for when you try to join a full lobby, so it doesn’t look like there’s an error when there isn’t.

We’ve also had a number of reports from community members, we appreciate everyone who takes the time to let us know.

The items mentioned above will be out in an update coming before the end of November. And the remaining issues are being worked on for a later update.
