No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: They tried to imitate PAYDAY 2, but ended up creating something that falls awkwardly between two stools, not quite being one thing or the other.
Nebula Error Again!
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: but for one, they definitely need to get rid of that failed connection screen, cuz I can't do anything, won't load up the play online options or settings, or loadout or anything unless that nebula works.
The Servers Have Been Fixed!
lets just wait for how long! but serious now, technical issues like this (no rewards yesterday, no login today, progression resets back to Level 1 after hours of playing) 3 years after release while doing a free weekend to bring in new players, is all you need to know about this game.
Stutters
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Play each map at least once in order to load the shaders so stutters are less noticeable on subsequent playthroughs.
