MAC
Library/Application Support/Killing Floor/System <-- where the .ini files are
LINUX
On Linux, it's in your home directory ~/.killingfloor/System
FIX #4
How to delete the Steam Client Registry Blob
Sometime the problem is Steam, not Killing Floor. If deleting and verifying the Systems folder did not work, try deleting the Steam ClientRegistry.blob and then verifying the game cache

FIX #7
Refresh Your Steam Files
Do you believe that Steam's files may have been modified, corrupted, missing, or misconfigured? How can you restore Steam to its original state without having to reinstall your games?
Why you may need to refresh your Steam files:
Refreshing your Steam files can resolve many issues that can be encountered in the Steam application, store, or games. Performing this operation will ensure that there are no issues that could be resolved with a new installation of Steam, and is a good place to start any troubleshooting process.
Note:
This process will not affect your currently installed games.
Windows XP/Vista/7/8
Completely exit the Steam client.
Open the run dialogue by pressing windows key + r (you can also navigate here from the start menu by typing run).
Type steam://flushconfig then press enter. (If asked to allow this website to open a program, please click Allow or OK).
Restart your computer.
Now, launch Steam directly from the installation folder, not from a pre-existing shortcut (~C: program files (x86) Steam).
The Steam application will either appear as Steam or Steam.exe depending on whether your settings show file extensions.
Mac OSX
Completely exit the Steam client.
Open Safari and type steam://flushconfig then press enter
Restart your computer.
Launch Steam and re-test the issue.
Linux
Open Terminal
Type steam --reset
You will see the following: Installing bootstrap /home/[username]/.steam/steam/bootstrap.tar.xz
Reset complete!
Restart your computer.
This should remove and download new Steam files for your Steam client.
Launch Steam and re-test the issue.

FIX #8
Some times the problem is:
- the server you were on is not updated. Try another server
- Down load from different region
If you just installed and its not working try deleting the game and downloading from a different region. Sometimes the downloads from one region might get temporarily corrupted.
First uninstall Killing Floor, then change the download server in Steam by going to > settings > downloads > download region. Next, download Killing Floor from this new region and install.
- it might be your computer. Check your firewall settings, check your antivirus, check your video drivers. If you read this and think its not the problem, it probably is. There are thousands of post of people with issues and they swear their computer works for other games, then they update their video driver or update their OS and magically it starts working. Sometimes the best way to find the problem is to eliminate everything else. Just update your video drivers , check you firewall setting, turn off your antivirus. Doing it will at least eliminate that as an issue.

No servers or few servers for multiplayer - SECTION 2
Fix #1
Go to killingfloor/System folder and delete steam_appid.txt.
Location of the file is C: Program Files Steam steamapps common killingfloor System steam_appid.txt
Restart Steam, it will automatically put in a fixed file.
Fix #2
Another common issue is the update list can become corrupt, this is solvable by deleting the AppUpdateStats.blob file and forcing Steam to download a new and fresh copy.
•Go to C: Program Files Steam (or the Steam directory that was specified during installation).
•Locate AppUpdateStats.blob and delete or rename the file to AppUpdateStatsOld.blob.
•Next time you start Steam, the file will be forced to download.
Fix #3
1: Turn off Steam.
2: http://media.steampowered.com/forums/MasterServer2.vdf download MasterServers2.vdf.
3: Put it into C: Program Files Steam config.
4: Rightclick MasterServers2.vdf and press properties, on the bottom of the window check the box for READ ONLY and press ok.

引用自 Agent Orange：
1) Refresh the server list
2) Alt-tab to desktop
3) Wait for 4 seconds, then alt-tab back into the game
4) You can now see plenty of servers
Alternate Method of Starting Killing Floor- SECTION 3
First thing you should do if you can't launch Killing Floor is try all the methods in the first section of this guide. If all those methods have been tried and did not work then try launching Killing Floor WITHOUT USING STEAM.
Windows
- Go to My Computer
- C: Program Files Steam steamapps common KillingFloor System KillingFloor.exe (application file)
- double click on KillingFloor.exe
- this should launch Killing Floor
MAC OSX
- Go to Library/Application Support/Killing Floor/System/ Killingfloor.exe
- double click on Killingfloor.exe
- this should launcch Killing Floor
These steps allow you to bypass going through Steam to help find the issue. If it works then the issue resides in launching through Steam. You won't be able to play multiplayer using the alternate start method, just single player, but we are using it as a test.
If Killng Floor does launch using the alternate start method, then there is an issue with Steam. The top fix for that would be deleting the Client Registry Blob which is listed in the first section/ Next would be to try to refresh your Steam files by doing a steam://flushconfig. Both deleting the client registry blob and flush config are detailed in the section above.
If those two fixes do now work, then you will need to delete Steam and reinstall steam and Killing Floor.

Error: to run Steam, you must first connect to the internet - SECTION 4
Fix #1 - run Killing Floor in administrator mode
Fix #2.The most common issues can be solved deleting the ClientRegistry.blob file and force Steam to download a new and fresh copy of it. See above / below for steps or go to https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7241-EYON-2343
The clientregistry.blob is a file for the program Steam. The file holds your registration data for your games. If you delete it the file will be restored and you will have all of your default settings on all games installed (like your name, spray, binds, etc)
•Go to C: Program Files Steam (or the Steam directory that was specified during installation).
•Locate ClientRegistry.blob and delete or rename the file to ClientRegistryOld.blob.
•Next time you start Steam, the file will be forced to download.
Fix #3. Turn off Steam. Turn off your computer. Unplug your modem and your router. Plug in your modem and wait 2 minutes. Plug in your rounter and wait 2 minutes. Start your computer. Log into Steam and see if the error is resolved.
Fix #4.Another common issue is the update list can become corrupt, this is solvable by deleting the AppUpdateStats.blob file and forcing Steam to download a new and fresh copy.
•Go to C: Program Files Steam (or the Steam directory that was specified during installation).
•Locate AppUpdateStats.blob and delete or rename the file to AppUpdateStatsOld.blob.
•Next time you start Steam, the file will be forced to download.
Fix #5.If none of the above work, you should try to start Steam on another computer on the same network, to check for router problems.
•If Steam doesn't start on another computer on the same network, it indicates that there is a problem with the router. •Your router might need port forwarding. http://portforward.com/ is a great site for tutorials on how to forward ports on a lot of routers.
•If Steam starts on another computer on the same network. It's something with your computer that's causing issue.
Fix #6. If you have a firewall, try disabling it and start Steam.
•If Steam starts your firewall might be blocking it. If you are using Windows Firewall, navigate to Control Panel All Control Panel Items Windows Firewall and press the "Advanced Settings" button on the left side. Then press the "Restore Default Policy" as this image shows. http://i.stack.imgur.com/6DVuz.jpg
If you are using another firewall, please consult the firewalls manual to figure out how to restore the default settings.
Fix #7. Another common issue is the steamappid.txt file is corrupted. To fix
- Go to killingfloor/System folder and delete steam_appid.txt.
Location of the file is C: Program Files Steam steamapps common killingfloor System steam_appid.txt
Restart Steam, it will automatically put in a fixed file.
Fix #8.Some programs may interfere with Steam and it's connectivity.
•Check your latest installed programs with Steam's list programs that might interfere.
https://support.steampowered.com
Fix #9.Some Spyware, Adware, and Viruses also interfere with Steam.
•Scan your computer for viruses, spyware and adware with an Anti-Virus program of your chose.
If would recommend the free version of AVG, if you are in need of a Anti-Virus program.

Laptop with HD integrated graphics won't run KF fix - SECTION 7
Go into the Intel control panel and change the 3d settings from performance to balanced
http://anurag2008.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Make-Games-Run-Faster-on-Your-Laptop#
To access 3D graphics settings, right-click on your windows desktop and choose graphic properties.
The Intel HD Graphics and Media Control Panel has preset options and custom settings. Click on 3D and under global settings, you will find a slider that lets you choose between Performance and Quality. Choosing performance will enhance gaming performance, but will lower 3D settings. Moving the slider toward Quality will improve 3D graphics, but may lead to slower frame rates and choppy performance. I always choose Performance over Quality to ensure a stutter-free gaming experience.

Black screen at launch - SECTION 8
First up some people are reporting flickering and a black screen on launch. Also if your system seems to be having graphical lag you will also want to try this.
To fix open up your killingfloor.ini file (located in steam/steamapps/common/killingfloor/system)
find
[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
and change it to
[Engine.Engine]
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
You will also want to change your resolution to your desired. In the same ini file look for:
[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
WindowedViewportX=800
WindowedViewportY=600
FullscreenViewportX=800
FullscreenViewportY=600
And change the Full Screen and windowed to your desired resolution for full screen and windowed mode.
Save the file and launch KF again.

Fix for "Querying Master Server" - SECTION 10
This issue has cropped up again recently. At the moment it looks like there may be problems on Steam's end. You may be able to find servers by using the Steam server browser instead of the in-game one - to do this right-click on the Steam tray icon and click Servers, and in the Servers tab make sure that you filter by Killing Floor and click Refresh. This should bring back a server list. If it doesn't then you can almost be sure that Steam is having more fundamental issues.
Also, Steam may have wiped the master server file for some people. Try hosting a listen server from the main menu, start playing and then disconnect, and then try finding servers again. Apparently this causes the file to be created.

Perks Reset to zero or Perks not progressing - SECTION 11
Your perk levels are stored at Tripwire Interactive, makers of Killing Floor. Even if you delete Killing Floor, you perks will always be saved. If your perks are suddenly reset to zero or get stuck, chances are there is a very temporary break in synching your computer to your Perks at TWI.
Here are three simple fixes:
Fix 1 - Restart Steam and Killing Floor
Most issues, like achievements not working , killing floor not starting, or perks not working can be fixed by doing these simple things
- turn off killing floor
- turn off steam
- turn steam back on
- verify the game cache for killing floor
- turn killing floor on and check now
Fix 2 - Verify your Killing Floor game cache
How to verify the game cache
Right click on Killing Floor in your steam library, then select properties. Navigate to the "local files" tab and choose verify integrity of game cache.
Fix 3 - After trying Fix 1 and 2 perks still not reset.
If you did 1 and 2, and are still at zero, start killing floor in solo and play for a couple of minutes. Then switch to multiplayer and play for a few minutes. Exit Killing Floor and restart, should be fixed.
Fix 4 - Delete the Killing Floor Systems folder then veryify your game cache
If you did steps 1, 2 and 3, then you can try this additional fix. After deleting KF systems folder and verifing, then follow step 3 again.
How to delete Killing Floor System Folder
If it still didnt work you might need to delete the killing floor.ini file and the user.ini . Just delete the entire Killing Floor System folder which has both of those files. Veryifying your game cache, after you have deleted the System folder will automatically rebuild your system folder with all the latest updates and synch.
Location of the system folder is C: Program Files Steam steamapps common killingfloor System
Fix 5 - Wait 24 to 48 hours
You are just out of synch with the Tripwire server. Should fix itself in 24 to 48 hours.
Fix 6 - Un-favorite non-whitelisted weapons
引用自 nightquaker：I had an issue with perks not progressing yesterday. Usual non-whitelisted mutators and stuff (weapon by IJC somehow wasn't whitelisted). Basically, even if you disable all mutators, but have the non-whitelisted weapons favorited in the shop, it'll not progress your perks. The weapons still stay in the favorites list even if you disable their corresponding mutators. The solution is to un-favorite the weapon
Fix 7 - Host an online game and set a password.
.
Can not play multiplayer / Can not host listen server / Killing Floor ports - SECTION 12
The following is a list of ports used by Killing Floor. Make sure they are open in your router/firewall. (You will need these to host a listen server)
7707 UDP/IP (Game Port)
7708 UDP/IP (Query Port)
7717 UDP/IP (GameSpy Query Port)
28852 TCP/IP and UDP (Allows your Server to Connect to the Master Server Browser)
8075 TCP/IP (Port set via ListenPort that your WebAdmin will run on)
20560 UDP/IP (Steam Port)
Another setting you might have to deal with when hosting a listen server in your killingfloor.ini is:
ServerBehindNAT=False Set it to True
Go to killingfloor/System folder and delete steam_appid.txt. (This file is createed if you use the UCC file at all for compiling or decompiling mutators or content. and will cause KF to hang at the black connecting screen)
Location of the file is C: Program Files Steam steamapps common killingfloor System steam_appid.txt

Killing Floor Slow loading / Game lag - SECTION 14
Option 1: Turn off "Reduce Mouse lag"
The option reduce mouselag reduces the mouse lag you get when you have vsync enabled, however it eats loads of cpu cycles. So if you get stuttering or bad performance or even mouselag, its worth trying to turn this off.
Option 2
turn of PreCaching
1) Find your KillingFloor.ini file located in the steam/steamapps/common/KillingFLoor/system folder (hint it looks like a notpad icon with a cog)
2) Change the values listed below:
under [ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem]
Change UsePrecache=True to UsePrecache=False
and under [Engine.LevelInfo]
Change bNeverPrecache=false to bNeverPrecache=true
and under [Engine.NullRenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=True to UsePrecaching=False
and under [D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=True to UsePrecaching=False
and under [D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=True to UsePrecaching=False
and under [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=True to UsePrecaching=False
and under [PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=True to UsePrecaching=False
Option 3: for windows 7/Vista users turn off Superfetch
Superfetch is generally used to load often used programs early into your memory so when you use it, that it can be started up quicker.
Finally if you use windows 7 or windows vista and make use of SuperFetch for your memory and encounter "stuttering" it might be worth turning that off.
To turn it off press the windows start button -> in the search field type "services"
From the result list press on Services or press enter.
Look in that screen for superfetch and and double click on it to open a window
Set startup type to "Disabled" and below that click the "Stop" button.
After that press OK or Apply and close all windows.
Option 4
Right-Click
"C: Program Files (x86) Steam steamapps common killingfloor System k illingfloor.exe"
Select Properties / Compatibility Tab
Tick "Run this program in Compatibility mode for:"
Select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" in the Drop-Down Menu
Tick "Run this program as an administrator"
Click Apply
Click OK

Option 5: Use the DX 9 renderer (recommended), or perhaps try the OpenGL renderer (not recommended)
On most computers the DX9 rederer performs faster and loads better than the dx8 renderer, and its only advised using the DX8 renderer if the DX9 one gives issues. The OpenGL renderer is officially not supported afaik, but on some computers it can actually give the best speeds and performance so if you have issues with performance and loading just try it out on your own risk.
If you had previously enabled the dx8 renderer you can do the opposite of this thread to put it back to dx9 or to the openGL one.

Option 6: Defragment your hard disc
Bad fragmentation of your harddisc can increase loading times and lower fps so keep your system drive and kf drive in good shape.
I personally recommend perfectdisk (their site got a free trial http://www.perfectdisk.com/). As they are the only company offering an offline defragmentation option with metadata defragmentation. Doing both a regular defragment as an offline defragment for the KF and Windows drives will definitely improve performance and loading speed.
If you dont wan't to try trial software you can of course use your favourite defragmentation software.

Achievement did not work / I did not get new weapon, skin, award - SECTION 17
If you did not get an achievement or Perk it might be because:
- the server was not running a long game (map). Must be 10 waves to be long. So for instance the Bedlam map must be Hard difficulty and on 10 wave long or it doesn't count. Some achievements DO NOT require a long map (most newer achievements don't). Read the description to see if that is problem.
- you may not have done the achievement correctly. READ THE ACHIEVEMENT CAREFULLY!! Try it again
- You may have turned on a mutator if you are playing solo. If you did, the achievement won't count.
- You can not play offline and get the achievement. Even in solo you must be connected.
- If you are playing multi player the server can not be running mutator. If it is the achievement won't count. Check for mutators before joining the server.

The following maps have had their map-completion achievement disabled only on Hell on Earth:Bedlam , Wyre, Foundry. Other difficulties should be unaffected.

2.Also users are reporting that unchecking Dynamic Net Speed in options has fixed a connection failed issue.-(No servers appear in MP also after unticking under options)
3.You've had your game update but you still don't see servers or have connection issues?
Try going to your killingfloor/system folder and deleting the entire system folder and letting steam regenerate it from the new build. Some configuration settings might not have been reset which are keeping you from receiving changes in the update-(No servers appear in MP after deleteing the system folder and reverifying the game cache under properties)
4.You might want to switch the following setting in your killingfloor.ini:
ServerBehindNAT=False

BT Home Hub Users problem Killing Floor - SECTION 22
We've been picking up on a small number of people having issues trying to play KF while using one version or another of the BT Home Hub in the UK. With a little (alright, rather a lot of) digging, we've discovered that BT does appear to have some issues with the Home Hub and multi-player/online gaming (their forums mention everything from L4D to WoW). It seems to be very intermittent and only affects "some" users. They also tend to point people at some internals for the hub to do with port forwarding. See this link:
http://bt.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/bt.cf...7&p_faqid=8790
Obviously there is no easy way for us to test this out... We aren't even sure if it is relevant, but it does seem to clear the problems for some people. For details of port forwarding for KF, see this thread on these forums: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.co...ad.php?t=30727
If someone would like to try it out and report back, that may help. Please follow the BT instructions carefully and do NOT screw up your Hub!
In general, if you have had issues with a BT Home Hub, we need YOU to contact BT Support, as we can't because we aren't customers.

Port Forwarding Killing Floor on the Netgear - SECTION 23
Original thread with directions and screen shots is at
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/WNDR3700/Killing_Floor.htm
What is Port Forwarding?[portforward.com]
To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for you.
Or you can take alook at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.
Do not skip this step!
192.168.1.
WNDR3700
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.1.1.
WNDR3700
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is password. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above did not work for you.

Version mismatch errors - SECTION 26
This is either because the server has a mod you don't have, you have a mod the server doesn't, the server is outdated or you are outdated. Verify your game cache. Remember that things such as Audio Mods and Trader Mods will not trigger Perks to stop working, but some of them will cause version mismatches if they replace certain files. Most of them will require you to download the original packages from the server you're connecting to. Let it do that once, and you should be able to keep your mods and still connect to servers. At least, until the Cache is cleared after 30 days. You can change the amount of days before the cache is cleared by changing PurgeCacheDays in KillingFloor.ini.

Unknown Steam Error is preventing access to the server! - SECTION 27
this is because of the way Unreal Engine works. Killing Floor will try to remember the password so you won't have to input it again next time. However, the perk system and Steam connectivity in KF is kind of a hackjob, which means that Steam can't initialize properly this way. To fix it temporarily, you can search for SavedPasswords in KillingFloor.ini and remove those lines, or the server in question can change passwords. For a permanent fix, you'll have to make your KillingFloor.ini Read-Only, which means that most of the options you change after that will not save.

Default character won't change / won't save change - SECTION 32
There is a known issue that this is a problem for DAR, Robot Chicken, and some others. There is no patch from Tripwire as of today. I will update as soon as there is a patch. Below are two fixes that have worked for many people, but not everyone:
Fix 1
The Unreal engine will not write to the ini file while in a multiplayer game. If you start Killing Floor, go into Profile and Achievements and select the default character you want (Robot Chicken, DAR, etc), save, then close Killing floor without ever going into multiplayr, close steam, then start steam, start Killing Floor it is supposed to work.
Its important not to go into multiplayer before changing the settings, and not to play Killing Floor after changing the settings. You have to turn off killing floor and steam, then restart.
Fix 2
Change the default character in your Killing Floor user ini file, First turn off Killing Floor and Steam. Then go to
C: Program Files Steam steamapps common killingfloor System User
File will open as a text file. It will start off like this
[DefaultPlayer]
Name=Bigguns_93
Class=Engine.Pawn
Character=DAR
team=1
Sex=M
Where it says Character= put the name of the skin you want to be your default skin. Close and save the file.
.
Nothing worked - what do I do now? - SECTION 33
Create a post asking for help in the Discussions as well as on the Tripwire Technical support area.
List your specific problem, computer specs, operating system, video card and driver. Copy and paste your killing floor log fille, its the only text file in the Killing Floor System folder (C: Program Files Steam steamapps common killingfloor System). List each of the fixes you have already tried to help eliminate certain issues and so you won't have people repeating fixes several times that you already tried.
Sometimes it is the little things like updating your video driver or unsubscribing from all the mods in the Workshop. Don't skip those steps, it may be the fix you need or it may just eliminate that as a possibility.

Mac OSX - - the client registry blob follow these direction
