Payday 2: You're crashing with the new U153 and BLT 2.0?
Avatar

If you're crashing at the start of the game after updating Payday 2 Update 153 (Luajit changes)
And after updating BLT into BLT 2.0: https://github.com/JamesWilko/Payday-2-BLT/releases

It might be because of tons of mods you use.

Here's some mods that I've removed from mods folder, after the first attempt to launch PD2, ends up in CTD
Removing this mods, makes the game stable enough to go to main menu

  • BetterLightFX
  • Bodhi's War Repair
  • Poser
  • Safehouse-Plus
  • Sentry Contours
  • Update All mods
  • Melee Overhaul REvamped

BLT 2.1 update have been released and fixes the major issues of previous version.
3 CONFIRMED ISSUE WITH BLT 2.0, READ THIS FIRST:
<div class"spoiler">

Spoiler!
  • BLT 2.0 doesn't work with Windows 7 atm
    https://github.com/JamesWilko/Payday-2-BLT/issues/95

  • BLT 2.0 will crash the user when trying to join someone else's ongoing heist. (Joining on lobby is fine, but when on Heist Start screen, after everyone is ready-ing up, user will crash.
    https://github.com/JamesWilko/Payday-2-BLT/issues/89
    *Hosting the game seems to be fine, player can join you without crash. But player with BLT 2.0 will dc (crash on their end)

  • BLT 2.0 Auto-Update system currently doesn't work properly. BLT 2.0 will tell there's an update to some of your BLT mod, even though you already using the most recent and fixed version for BLT 2.0 format.
    https://github.com/JamesWilko/Payday-2-BLT/issues/90
    *Initiating the udpate, will just finishes it and telling there's an error and asking for a retry. Your mod files isnt touched at all.


This issues above doesn't have any fixes other than waiting the BLT dev on updating BLT itself, so have patience for a while.

BeardLib have recently got updated for the Luajit changes.. I suggest downloading the update manually on MWS.
The BLT update manager might ask to download BeardLib new update, but you already got the most recent one, so Ignore it..
There might be a problem on BLT update manager it seems.

All Custom Stuff (Weapon, Mask, Melee, etc) appear to have no problem in-game and doesn't cause crash (at least for me)
Not sure if it's the same case with Custom Heist asset files.

Also try purging your mod save files. Located on mods/saves.
This folder contains all the BLT mod settings data that you use. Delete all of the txt in the inside, just to be sure.
According to xtakku

Some user have found how to update old BLT mod.txt format into the new BLT 2.0 format, read more here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/paydaytheheistmods/comments/6xbpu9/tutorial_how_to_update_your_basic_lua_mods_to_blt/

If you're not using Win7, and somehow can't get Payday 2 started into main menu with BLT 2.0
Try this hook that once was used on LuaJIT beta: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dex612bkbqakisl/IPHLPAPI.dll?dl=0

You got other mod that solves the instant crash when you remove it from the mods folder?
Post it here, helps other heister!

Note: this thread will only help getting your Payday 2 stable enough to not CTD on start-up and reach main menu with a working BLT 2.0 (and it's new GUI)
Crashes in-heist, looking for mod options, and any other stuff beside crashing on Payday 2 startup isn't covered here (it's an issue with many BLT mod havent been updated to BLT 2.0 format)

All those mod that appears on BLT log is because BLT 2.0 uses a new mod.txt format or something..
So BLT thrown an error saying it can't read the mod.txt, but actually can read it with it's back-compatibility something.

The one that throws fatal error on BLT Log most likely isn't the one that causing crash, its just a case of BLT 2.0 doesn't like the old mod.txt format (BLT can still read the mod)

Thank you for the response, and sorry if I didn't make this clear, but EVERY time I have a crash, that is what my crashlog shows. When Bag Contour needed an update a week back and was causing CTDs, it was a pain in my ass to figure out what was causing the crash, because it listed a dozen mods as giving fatal errors.

Also thank you for such a detailed first post!
