Developers of the action-packed co-op shooter PAYDAY 2 have resolved a myriad of issues that plagued the newly released heist, Crude Awakening.
Crude Awakening is a new heist in PAYDAY 2 where players are contracted by Blaine Keegan to assassinate SERA's chief of security, Gabriel Santiago. Even though Crude Awakening is fun, it suffered from several issues on release. Fortunately, developers squashed a number of bugs in Update 238.1.
A major bug that caused interactions with the pipe puzzle to de-sync has been resolved. Furthermore, players who opt to "stealth trigger" the meltdown sequence will no longer encounter cops around catwalks.
Some fixes were applied to the base game as well. For instance, a crash that would occur when a player entered a driving state has been fixed. On top of that, using the High Value Target skill on SWAT turrets will no longer cause the game to crash.
