Starbreeze insists it is “working hard” to keep servers online after Payday 3 players endured a second consecutive evening of disruption.

After a three-day early access period for some players, Payday 3 released on 21st September, but players have struggled to get online at peak times due to continuing server issues that have shutdown matchmaking, making it impossible to play the always-online heist shooter.

    I started getting into games this morning. It’s fun. I don’t like the online-only part of the game, but they support Linux straight from release, and I will always support that.

      This is an important take. I didn’t even know it was Linux native. I believe all of the payday games are. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

        IIRC payday 2 lost it’s native Linux build, however, I never played it, just used proton.

          Surprisingly, I have some games where proton actually runs better than native. Proton’s gotten really good at this point.

            Same! I have some games launch natively end up being super zoomed into one corner, can’t navigate around or anything. I have no idea what the fix is, but switching to proton works.

          I played a bit of payday 2 on my deck and it ran great, I’m not sure if it was using proton or what but I had no issues. I just wish the anti cheat companies would develop their stuff to work on Linux
