[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60860, member: 1"] After [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/payday-3-dev-looking-into-adding-offline-mode-blames-third-party-for-matchmaking-woes']a disastrous launch that saw Payday 3 unplayable for many[/URL], developer Starbreeze has declared the matchmaking issues over, opening the door to a big update for October. Starbreeze said the scheduled maintenance carried out last week fixed the matchmaking issues that occurred during Payday 3’s first week after launch. Matchmaking is now stable, Starbreeze said, and has had “good performance”. The developer bigged up the popularity of Payday 3 since it came out, saying over the past five days it had a peak concurrent players (CCU) of 124,254, and during September saw 3,167,938 unique players (MAU). Starbreeze said it will now “intensify” commercial activities around Payday 3 after an initial pause. This starts early October with the game’s first update, which will focus on improving the game experience. Further updates will target quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and new functionality.
