Repeated intro
Hey Heisters!
Extracted changes
- Gameplay
- Compatibility
We are kicking off a Steam playtest from Thursday to Monday to test some fresh under-the-hood improvements to the Peer-2-Peer matchmaking!
Feel free to jump into the Open Beta Branch on Steam!
How to access the playtest
The playtest will be running on a separate branch on Steam. To switch branch, you need to right click on PAYDAY 3 in your Steam Library and select "Properties".
In the window that pops up, navigate to the "Game Versions & Beta" tab. Select the Open Beta in the list you see here.
Then launch the game as normal!
Additional information
As this Playtest runs on a different backend than the regular live version of PAYDAY 3, your progress WILL NOT CARRY OVER. You will be starting from the beginning in terms of progression in the playtest build. We recommend playing the Crowd Control Tutorial before you start playtesting, to quickly gain 150 levels and millions in cash.
Your progression in PAYDAY 3 will not be affected by what happens on the playtest branch. You'll have your regular level and weapons/loadouts once you're back to the normal version.
