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.
