PAYDAY 2: Update 248.1 Changelog

Hello heisters!

We saw performance issues for quite a few players since the engine upgrade and finally narrowed it down to faulty "Garbage Collection". These fixes should resolve the issue some players were having where the game would repeatedly stutter or freeze.

We also saw the reports that came in regarding our first heist Under the Hammer, and put together a list of fixes and changes based on the feedback. There are still a few known issues left along with general performance issues we'll keep looking into.

Updates may be incompatible with the mods you may have installed. Even seemingly unrelated mods may cause unexpected issues. If you are experiencing any problems with the game; try removing any mods you may have installed and try again.

If you are having issues with an unmodded game you can try to verify the integrity of the game files. In the Steam library; right-click on PAYDAY 2. Select "Properties" from the menu. Under the tab "LOCAL FILES" select "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES...". The process may take some time to finish.
