Solo Game Utils (Pause, Restart, Security/Difficulty Fix, Background Fix)
Features
- Adds a Toggle Pause option to your menu when doing a SOLO game. (v1 and v2-manual only) (A solo game is not the same as private game. Solo game is done using a feature that is hidden in the game.)
- Automatically Pause the game in solo when you open the menu / hit the esc keyboard button. (v2-automatic and v3+)
- Fixes the background for debug menu (v3+) credits to: HW12Dev
- Fix restart button in solo (v2+) require binary patching for now. (a UE4SS mod is being developed to fix that)
- Fix security rotation on higher difficulty.
Requires Game Patching to get restart working.
It can be done probably using a UE4SS mod but that is for next update or for anyone to contribute if someone is willing to do it.
Steam / Epic
- Open the game binary in any hex editor (HxD is the recommend tool).

.
XBox
- You need to decrypt the game first using UWPDumper.

Notes and Credits
- If the byte doesn't match, it means you have a variant exe, don't attempt to modify it. See next item.
- Truman is building a generic patcher that would handle this as a UE4SS mod, which would be just a new mod without the need to modify the exe or do any of the above. It will also be update-proof so it would work whenever a new release is out.
- Credits to Florens @florpcorp, @spel0 and @HandSonic for providing the exe to analyise.
- Credits to @Truman for his signature matching and the address for this patch and soon for his help with the UE4SS mod.
- Credits to @spel0 for testing the update and providing this step by step guide.
Dependency:
- Requires enabling OLD HEIST SELECTION, you will need a UE4SS mod for that or patching the exe yourself.
You can find that mod on the ModWorkshop Discord server.They just uploaded it DebugMenuMod.
What is next:
- Now you can do everything in solo other than assets purchase.
Instructions:
- Put this pak file into
PAYDAY3\PAYDAY3\Content\Paks\~mods\
. Placing on Paks directly won't work since it starts with the letter A and this will load it before it should be loaded.
