Mods
DorHUD provides HUD improvements, fixes for many issues, cheat prevention measures, a mod framework and controller support. It comes in two variants, with the main version having a collection of other mods included.
Modern minimal HUD Designed to reduce visual pollution on screen and have a tactical modern touch to it, increases the immersive feeling while still maintaining useful features like mission markers and ammo.
The Fixes Fixes a lot of base game bugs and crashes. It is a must have.
Streamlined Heisting Makes a lot of the gameplay mechanics more consistent, a lot of features that the vanilla game had at some point were broken or disabled with game updates and have been fixed or re-enabled.

Issues unresolved
Crash just before level starts
- Happens simultaneously to all connected players with an access violation in
AK::MemoryMgr::SetMonitoring
- Can possibly be worked around by waiting some seconds before pressing ready, after loading has finished for everyone[5]
Issues fixed
Black screen on start up or random crashes during the game
- Don't run PAYDAY with Teamspeak 3 or Ventrilo - both will likely cause the game to fail to load.
- ALIENWARE users make sure you have AlienFX installed.
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode only runs at 60 Hz by default.
Override refresh rate set by game[6]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
renderer_settings.xml with a text editor.
- If the resolution doesn't look right despite setting screen native one, find
resolution= and make sure it's followed by your resolution, e.g. "1920 1080" .
- Find
refresh_rate= and make sure it's followed by your refresh rate, e.g. "120" .
