ːpd3ː The Peer-to-Peer Open Playtest begins Thursday, 1PM CET. ːpd3ː
[/th][/tr][/table]Hello heisters,
We know the connection to our servers has been a frequent topic, and our team will always strive for providing you the best possible experience. As a result, we have been working on developing a Peer-to-Peer connection for a while now, and we're finally ready to let you all get hands on with it and see how it works.
We hope to see as many of you as possible hop in and play during the Open Playtest, and let us know how you get on. Please make sure to have your telemetry enabled as well, so our data team can get a full picture of how your connectivity performs on this build. We also have a survey available to capture even more data on your experiences: https://forms.gle/8fmw4kk6GKXGbagv6
The playtest will be running from tomorrow, Thursday, 1PM CET until Monday, 2nd of February, 12PM CET. Details on how to switch to the playtest branch are listed below.
How to access the playtest
The playtest will be running on a separate branch on Steam. To switch branch, you need to right click on PAYDAY 3 in your Steam Library and select "Properties".
In the window that pops up, navigate to the "Game Versions & Beta" tab. Select the Open Beta in the list you see here.
When you go to launch the game you may get met by the following pop-up. Make sure to once again select Open Beta, and you should be set!
Additional information
As this Playtest runs on a different backend than the regular live version of PAYDAY 3, your progress WILL NOT CARRY OVER. You will be starting from the beginning in terms of progression in the playtest build. We recommend playing the Crowd Control Tutorial before you start playtesting, to quickly gain 150 levels and millions in cash.
Your progression in PAYDAY 3 will not be affected by what happens on the playtest branch. You'll have your regular level and weapons/loadouts once you're back to the normal version.
