PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME! Pak chunk signature check failed

[Lesi]

Im getting this error ever since the game launched, I havent done 1 freaking heist.
Does someone knows whats this about? None of my friends have this problem. I verified the files, reinstalled the game, windows, updated gpu drivers, changed start up parameters (dx11 not working dx12 also not working) I have no idea whats wrong, it drives me insane

I am on AMD card. I tried everything. Thanks

might be an issue tied to AMD cards? a friend of mind has an AMD also, and the same exact issue

Maybe this will help you.

I have Also a AMD card ( Asus 6900 XT) with and AMD CPU (5950X) and did everything ther is to try in different forums.
problem keeps returning,

Go to your library > Right click Payday 3 > Browse Local Files > Payday 3/Content/Paks > delete all the files in this folder > Verify integrity of files > wait for it to redownload all of those files

This was the only way I was able to get it to stop even though verifying integrity said there was nothing wrong with the files

I also have that problem.
I also have AMD card (RX 7900 XT)

...and what does Event Viewer in Windows say?
It's not normal to get a kernel & nt errors - without just cause.

Restoring Files by deleting them or reïnstalling the game, does nothing.

Error:
LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 31] Pak chunk signature check failed!
keeps showing up.

i renamed ..\\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\4.27 (payday's version of unreal engine) i read that some game updates corrupt this folder. by rename/remove this map the game is forced to rebuild those (corrupted folders)

but it gived me 1 hour of playing the game before the error came back.



(for those who are reading this first time)

* my pc isn't suffering of low power, proper cable management where 2 cabels come from my PSU (850W) to my GPU) i have read that people with 1000W PSU getting the same error.

* GPU and Chipset drivers are up to date
*power management in Windows are set to peform. (even in regedit changed priorities)

My thougts are getting towards the game, in the week of release i didn't get the error at all.

Try lowering your video resolution and setting all your graphics options to their lowest setting, and then start a game with just bots (friends only) just to test if it will run without crashing that way. If it does, then test increasing your settings one at a time to try to figure out witch one is messing it all up.

It makes no sense, and takes time, but it worked for me.
