Payday 2 compatible with Windows 11?

[DF Meowcah]

Has anyone upgraded to Windows 11 and had issues with Payday? Thinking of doing so, but I play too much payday to upgrade and lose the ability to do so.

Edit: After reading some of the replies here and other research online, would not recommend for the time being. Seems to still be a lot of stability issues for a lot of games and apps.

There is literally no point to upgrade to windows 11 if you are on windows 10 at the moment unless you are using the newest intel 12th gen CPUs.

Cool, thanks for not at all answering my actual question. lmao

windows 11 is just windows 10 with silly bloatware and new UI, nothing changes and even the latest AMD performance issue got patched
but as 1st responder said, y tho

So upgrading to Windows 11 cut my performance literally in half. Maybe I screwed something up but it went from 240 to like 120.

If you're nuts enough to "upgrade" to Win 11 for no reason then go for it and then try PD2 and let everyone else know if it works. You may as well be the guinea pig.

That seems to be the general consensus. A friend of mine went to 11 and went from 350 fps on Valorant down to a consistent 75-90.

If I wanted to be a guinea pig, I would've just done it already, but I'm not NEARLY tech savvy enough for that, so I was hoping to get some more insightful replies, but here we are. Oh well, guess Ill be waiting for someone else to bite that bullet lmao.

take this with a grain of salt as I am not using windows anyway.
But from a technical standpoint: Payday uses DX9 (or 10, cant really remember) which was released over a decade ago.
As the optimization for general hardware is made through the driver (most of the time), you will get the most performance due to good drivers. And said drivers are the same for both versions (win10, win11). Therefor they will perform similarly "good". But now you have to concider:
As stated before, win11 is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ piece of ♥♥♥♥ when it comes to bloatware and unnecessary stuff running in the background. AND as the DirectX version is extremely old, you may even get less compatibility with some core features in general, which will result in unpredictable performance problems.
So. My educated guess will be: You will loose a lot of performance, especially when you (as you already said you are) are no tech-kinda-person are, as you will probably not know how to revoke some of windows' ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in regards of "efficiency improvements".

My bad I was directly referencing Payday 2 performance everything else seems fine.

I know you were, there just seems to be general stability issues with a TON of games and apps.
