- Despite not being listed as such, The Linux port supports all DLCs released for Payday 2, the sole exception is the VR DLC.

- All DLC maps up to The White House can be played without DLC for 1 time in Career mode. Career mode also does not require offshore fee.
- Career mode does not support One Down difficulty so it's impossible to get achievements related to it.
- Australian players can email Overkill with proof of Australian residency to receive the Jacket Character Pack as Hotline Miami 2 is banned from sale there.
Essential improvements
Skip intro videos
Improving Graphics
There are multiple ways to improve the way Payday 2 looks, using an injector such as SweetFX will also help. ReShade can also prove useful.
Mods
Libraries
- SuperBLT, the successor to BLT-Hook and BLT4Linux, is essential for having multiple mods in Payday 2, and is designed to be both Windows and Linux-compatible. Precompiled Loader for Linux can be found here.
- BeardLib, a large library that assists in mod creation, and is essential for a lot of mods to work in Payday 2.
- Simple Mod Updater enables auto updating of mods using its' system.
Bugfixes
- The Fixes and Tweakdata Fixed are collections of fixes for a lot of base game bugs and crashes. Some of these fixes have been officially implemented within the game in the past and the mods were later updated to remove those said fixes, both are still recommended.
Optimization
- Celer and Map-Based Optimizations Improves frame rate by optimising various maps using portals and occluders to de-render models if the player isn't within a certain area, no textures are changed. Additionally, Celer also features an improved occlusion manager and faster portals processing.
- Clear Texture Cache Frees memory resources once a heist is loaded.
- Iter Improves navigation of all NPCs and fixes various map issues.
- Full Speed Swarm This mod allows all NPCs to stay as active as the game specs require. It also adds a large amount of fixes and code optimizations. It does NOT increase spawn rate or amount.
Quality of life
- Closed Captions and Subtitles implements Closed Captions and Subtitles for character dialogue, such as players calling to each other. Or enemies talking and shouting.
- Slider Values re-enables the slider GUI values in the options that were hidden since Update 79.
- Drag and Drop Inventory is a mod that lets you move items, such as weapons and masks, in your inventory via drag and drop. You can even move them to a different page.
- Inspect Weapon for Controllers adds weapon inspect support to controllers by pressing and holding down Y for 0.2 seconds.
HUDs
- Pocohud and Additional PocoHud Trackers is an incredibly popular fan made HUD mod. While not essential, it can dramatically improve your experience.
- VanillaHUD Plus is cited as a "Compilation HUD" mod, which collects popular standalone HUD mods together into one package. Because of this, It's extremely configurable, and features can be tuned to personal preferences, or turned off outright.
- VoidUI redesigns the entire HUD with a white and black angled aesthetic. VoidUI Infoboxes adds customisable info-boxes to your screen.
Gameplay
- Keepers This mod lets you issue various types of order to your NPC teammates, including jokers.
- Monkeepers This mod makes NPC teammates carry bags like players show them.
- Saw Helper Show actual sawing hitboxes on objects which the game developer usually misplaces saw icons.

Issues fixed
Game crashes with memory issue in crash log
Try lowering the graphics settings as Payday 2 is in 32 bit only[8]
|
- Lower Graphics settings in Payday 2.
|
Main Menu gets excessively brighter upon launching the game
Ensure that your videocard driver's application settings are set to default[9]
|
- For AMD cards, open Catalyst Control Center and ensure System Settings under Gaming are set to "Use application settings".
|
Do not use third-party program SMAA[citation needed]
|
- If you are using a third-party program such as RadeonPro in the case of AMD, ensure that SMAA is set to Off. Also opening and closing the Steam overlay may help to rectify this problem.
|
Not fitting fullscreen despite running at 1080p/Black screen when selecting 1080p
- Sometimes Payday 2 does not fit entirely to the user's screen even though the resolution is set to 1920x1080.
Change renderer settings file[citation needed]
|
- Open
renderer_settings.xml .
- There are two lines of text. On the bottom line, find where it says
resolution= and make sure that's followed by 1920 1080 .
- Finally look for
refresh_rate= and make sure that's followed by 60/120/144
- The game should be running entirely in full screen now.
|
Issues with mouse movement near the top of the screen in fullscreen mode
- On some resolutions the game will not properly lock the mouse to the window, causing issues with in-game overlays and unfocusing the game when clicking the top of the screen
Install a program to lock the mouse cursor inside the window[citation needed]
|
- Download Borderless Gaming.
|
Mouse input delay
Disable multi-threading[10]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>
- Open
context.xml .
- Find
multithreaded="true"
- Replace with
multithreaded="false"
|
Change flip queue size to 0 or 1[11]
|
- AMD users should try RadeonPro
- Nvidia users can look in the "Manage 3D Settings" section of the graphics card control panel
|
Play on Intel HD3000 & HD4000
Double mouse cursor after Alt+Tab
- Needs verification; option not present on Windows Vista.
Disable allowing themes to change mouse pointers[13]
|
- Go to Control Panel, Mouse, Pointers tab
- Uncheck "Allow themes to change mouse properties".
|
Refocus window workaround[citation needed]
|
- Press Alt+Tab ↹ and navigate to game to bring it forward/'focused', if you are focused on another window in front (such as a browsers). Then cycle through Alt+Tab ↹ again once you have brough the game forward and continue to hold when the selection is poised over the game.
- Position cursor inside game window and click repeatedly immediately after you release Alt+Tab ↹.
- This will allow the game to refocus.
|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
