With the recent privacy changes to Steam, it's no longer possible to check the game ownership, playtime and statistics for games unless the privacy setting is manually changed to be publicly visible. The consequence is that the profile checker mod becomes pretty much useless. Since I haven't investigated the changes in detail, the submod may very well crash if you try to use it. So it's probably best to disable it for now by either removing the whole profile_checker folder or disabling it via the options (options -> mods -> enabled -> profile checker).

With that said, an update is coming as soon as I have figured out some rare crashes. This updates adds rich presence support for Discord, improves BLT support and adds some new things to the the 193+ difficulty. And fixes some bugs, of course.

It was under development for quite some time, but it has taken long enough and version 1.4 has (finally!) been released. This version brings (XBOX) controller support to PAYDAY: The Heist.

Other common requests were to include more options in the menu (instead of editing a file), to have (virtual) reputation levels that go beyond level 193 and more level changes for the overkill 193+ difficulty. These and other changes are included in this version.

Unfortunately since the modding support for this game isn't as advanced as PD2s, so all of the graphics are for a playstation controller, you can't use both a controller and mouse/keyboard at the same time (same story as in PD2) and remapping keys can only be done via the provided controller_settings.xml file. And no, there will be no full "PS3" mode (i.e. lower hitpoints for 145+, fewer enemies, etc.) because this is and stays a PC game when played on the PC.

You can click the update notification to confirm the install and the rest should be automatic. If there are any issues, please report them to the bug reporting forum available here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/dahm4pd/discussions/2/

In the Netherlands we celebrate Sinterklaas (it's what santa is based on), so this is a good time for an update. I really don't like to post these announcements for every small update, but there are too many players around that are still using an old pre 1.0 final version of this mod and should really install an update.

If you're using an older version that doesn't support the ingame update function, you can download the new version right here:

For those that have a more recent version, you can click the update notification to confirm the install and the rest should be automatic.

You can leave your party hats and balloons at home, because all we have here are helmets and bullets. These are a lot more functional than that other crap anyway, you just need some tools to make the balloons bullets "pop". And no, there is no cake. (or is there?). You should ask the party people over here

We've been delaying the release of version 1 of this mod for too long now to a point where it got ridiculous with the version numbers. I can say that this rc nonsense is over now with the release of version 1.0.0. While there are still some small issues, I do consider this to be a huge leap from the previous versions. If you find any issues, please report them to the bug reporting forums on this group.

As always, keep heisting.

Even though I don't like posting announcements, in this case I feel like I really have to. Many of you are using and older version of this mod. I can understand that, since there was no way of knowing a new version was out and sometimes they came out too fast.

The latest version at the time of writing this is 0.8.24. This version has update notifications, but more importantly is the most stable version so far and definitely a lot more stable than those early 0.8.x versions. I'm not planning on making many more updates, so this is it for a while... unless there's a cool feature you want me to add or when I come across another bug in either the game or this mod.

Updating is the same as installing: download the zip and extract it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PAYDAY The Heist or wherever you've installed the game. Just replace the existing ones. You may have one or two extra files, but they do not conflict. You can also choose to remove the old files (simply remove the dorhud folder), but remember to save (and restore) the user.lua file if you've made any modifications to it.

Remember that you can always make a post on the forums of this group if you have any problems whatsoever. But make sure you read the readme and the sticky topics. :)
