If you've been waiting for the all-important Payday 3 patch to start rolling out, hopefully you won't have much longer to wait. While there's no release date for it just yet, the developer has at least tried to explain why it's taking so long.
In a post on the Payday website (https://www.paydaythegame.com/news/payday3/2023/10/payday-3-a-quick-update/), Starbreeze Studios has issued yet another apology, acknowledging that it's been a bit quiet recently. However, the message "lifts the curtain" a little to give some insight into what the developer is working on.

It turns out the reasons behind the patch being delayed are "long and complicated." As it transpires, the team has discovered "critical errors" which has lead to a "significant risk to player progression being wiped" if the problems aren't addressed.
There's light at the end of the tunnel
Fear not, though, as the update "has been sent off and is currently going through a testing and certification process." Keep an ear out for further details as it sounds like the patch could be ready to launch soon. We just don't know when yet.
Upon release, Payday 3 was met with largely negative feedback. For starters, unreliable matchmaking was causing headaches for many players. On top of that, the game requires a constant internet connection, even when playing solo. That alone was a thorn in many people's sides.
While the patch has been delayed a couple of times already (https://www.destructoid.com/payday-3-update-delayed-again/), many will be hopeful Starbreeze will be able to resolve the issues and get it sent out. The studio may also be considering an offline mode (https://twitter.com/PAYDAYGame/status/1712895449374290208).
