When does Payday 3 usually open more slots for Xbox beta?

you would have to ask the developer

Hi,! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Yes

"Limited space is available and offered first-come first-served. We plan to open more space through the beta weekend so if you are unable to join, please check back later to join."

So I tried a number of additional troubleshooting steps from various sources. SFC scan, some command line instructions that I think were uninstalling/reinstalling services, making sure certain Xbox gaming services were set to automatic and not manual. None of it worked.

However, from some of these steps I thought it might be some sort of issue with the gaming services. What I did was start one of the games that works and leave it running. I would then start up Payday 3 and I would make it past the menu into the game. From here the results are mixed. I haven't tried this often enough or long enough to get great data, but closing the first, working game seemed to cause Payday 3 to crash shortly after. I tried keeping the first game open and was able to play for a bit. However, Payday 3 crashed when a "big" event occurred. I'm not sure if that was coincidence or not. I tried relaunching Payday 3 after this, with the other game still open, and it did not work. Again, I haven't tried enough to verify this suspicion, but I may need to launch Payday 3 shortly after launching another game for it to be successful.

I know some of this data is circumstantial, but hopefully it's a bit more helpful to diagnose the problem. I'll update this after trying to play it a little more and see if I can make it longer into a match.

EDIT: I had the game sitting on the menu while I typed this up. When I clicked matchmaking it instantly crashed. I tried to launch Payday 3 three times after this and ran into the original problem. After closing and re-launching the working game I was able to get into Payday 3. I suspect this will only last so long, as usual.

Another note: I sometimes get Error code: (0x8007139f). This error usually only shows once and then without any special action by myself, it does not show up when I try to launch again.

I know it is a sequel but I'm loving Payday 2 at the moment, simply because it is something slightly different from the usual humdrum on the Xbox. Originality is lacking in a lot of games these days. I'll be checking out Deep Down for sure!

Payday 2 is probably my favourite game in the last year. I think it's great at what it does and like you said because it's something different, never played a game like this before.

Nothing confirmed yet but I've seen talk that the developers would love to do Payday 3 for the next gen consoles!

@bowski477, Public betas ARE usually open to everyone. The BF3 Beta, Halo 3 and Reach Betas, or Steam Betas for example.

Microsoft is one of the very few who even limit public betas.
