PAYDAY 2 Update 247.2 Targets Crashes, Audio, and Heist Bugs
The 282.6 MB patch also changes the LuaJIT version for a performance test, which may disrupt mod loaders.
PAYDAY 2 Update 247.2 is a 282.6 MB patch focused on crash fixes, audio problems, interface improvements, and a pair of heist issues. The latest Steam changelog also warns that a LuaJIT version change is being tested to investigate performance problems.
Players who use mods should be careful with this update. Mod loaders may stop working until their creators release compatible updates, and unrelated mods may also cause unexpected problems.
