It didn't, however, spoil our fun too much because since that early hiccup the game has been running much more smoothly. Single player issues still persist, Payday 2 simply doesn't have the same appeal when viewed from that perspective, but when played with a group of friends (or even like-minded strangers), the thrill of the score is simply intoxicating, and covers over any of the game's shortcomings."
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."
Payday 2 launched 10 years ago today, and a constant stream of updates still makes it worth playing ahead of Payday 3.
Starting today, Payday 2 is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until June 15. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
Dunno about their crashes, but playing on the beta for over a month now, the game felt polished.
Only "major" bug I encounter, the game reset my resolution twice for no reason -but not my other graphic settings.
In any case, can't wait to get off work and start playing it properly!
They need to fix the fact that you're progress isn't saved until you exit out of the game. Twice I've lost levels worth of progress because of a crash.
