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[5]
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] |

Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode only runs at 60 Hz by default.
