Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support status is unknown.

Issues unresolved

Crash just before level starts

Happens simultaneously to all connected players with an access violation in AK::MemoryMgr::SetMonitoring
Can possibly be worked around by waiting some seconds before pressing ready, after loading has finished for everyone[3]

Issues fixed

Black screen on start up or random crashes during the game

Don't run PAYDAY with Teamspeak 3 or Ventrilo - both will likely cause the game to fail to load.
ALIENWARE users make sure you have AlienFX installed.
Update DirectX and PhysX[citation needed]

Game resolution doesn't look right despite setting screen native one

Change renderer settings file[citation needed]
  1. Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\PAYDAY\
  2. Edit renderer_settings.xml with a text editor
  3. There are two lines of text. On the bottom line, find resolution= and make sure that's followed by e.g. 1920 1080.
  4. Finally, then look for refresh_rate= and make sure that's followed by e.g. "60".

PhysX redistributable installation aborts

Fix everlasting first time setup[citation needed]
  1. Open a command prompt
  2. Run reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\Apps\24240 /v PhysXNew /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
