reload animations not working

since trying out the beta, my reload animations randomly stop working. The guns in question are the caulk gun and the AA-12. I can't figure out what's triggering it, but the drum remains in the AA-12 when reloading, while the characters hand goes through the motions of reloading. Same issue with the caulk gun. I was not using tactical reload or any reloading perk for the firebug so these are the standard animations.

Caulk N Burn continuous effect

Category: emitter

Reproducibility: Unable to reproduce

Summary: Screenshot below

Description: Coming from a different room than where my teammates were, I noticed a constant bugged emitter coming from where our Firebug was. It might have been the flame thrower, but it seemed more likely the caulk N burn (wave 3/10). Player was Firebug. Map was Catacombs.

Hans' gas grenades not damaging me

This was on Evacuation, standard full online game.

Reproducibility: Possible, likely in the same area.

Hans' gas grenades were not causing any damage or poison effect on me in this area, same area as the blasted door:


I was at the bottom of the stairs when it went off and walked through without a scratch.

I have also avoided gas damage at least 2 other times in this area, not necessarily on the stairs but on the upper level.

Cannot launch game in build 1009, Radeon HD 4800

Launching error; always occurs (can't run game at all)

When attempting to launch game, get pre-startup game logo, then screen cuts to black, plays the "charging up" sound effect for maybe a second, and then immediately crashes to desktop, prompting the BugSplat window to come up twice along with a windows error about my display driver crashing and recovering.

After submitting BugSplat report, it directs me to a webpage indicating the error is most likely due to incomplete install and recommending I verify game cache. I do so, but still get the same error.

Running Windows 10 64-bit, AMD Phenom II X4 840 Processor with Radeon HD 4800 graphics card.

Tried to confirm that my drivers are up-to-date and it doesn't look like AMD has any new drivers for the HD 4xxx series on Windows 10. Likely relation to issue?

EDIT: Going to uninstall the beta update and make sure I can still run the game in the stable version..

Character Voice, in game audio, and sli

to start mr fosters voice is way muffled compared to the other characters voices. i can understand it since he has the gas mask but so does one of the others and his is way clearer and louder. kinda annoying since i like mr fosters comments.

second the head splatter noises, melee impact noises, m79, rpg,and overall zed noise volume doesn't seem right. the head pop noise goes from deafeningly loud point blank to inaudible at range. and the melee impacts sound far to loud to the point they drown out all the others. the m79 also sounds as if the explosion goes off just a few yards away even shooting at a building across the map. this is the same for the rpg. for the last point some of the zeds (slashers and gorefasts ive noticed the most) sound like theyre right on top of you when there quite far away.

i have dual gtx670s in sli on the menu they run fine at 85-99% usage but when i actually join or start a game the second card just quits. then only starts to work again if i minimize and maximize the game only to have it stop a short time later or only spike a few times but stay under about 50% usage..

all of these issue happen in offline and online games.

ive included screenshots on being on menu and in game from msi after burner

Missing Spectator Functionality

Title of the forum Thread:
Missing Spectator Functionality

Category:
User Interface, Keybinding, Customization

Reproducibility:
Always.

Summary:
Cannot reassign spectator controls that are inadvertently hardware specific.

Description:
When in spectator mode, there are a few controls that are available to the player such as:

Mouse 1 (Next Camera)
Mouse 2 (Previous Camera)
Middle Mouse Button (Change Perspective)

Again, TripWire has overlooked the fact that some people use a mouse that does not have a middle mouse button. Such as my Logitech TrackMan Marble mouse. As a developer, I like to take the moments before of after my active play time to appreciate the hard work of the level designers. So, I sometimes like to free float the camera in spectator mode and look at the various textures and meshes of the maps. It's difficult to do when spectator mode gets locked following on this player or another. It would be such a simple fix by implementing a dual keybinding to something like the 'F' key for those of us without a scroll wheel/middle mouse button. It's particularly frustrating because the Logitech driver calls the scroll buttons on this mouse as "ThumbMouseButton" instead of Middle Mouse Button. Please dual bind this spectator function OR allow us to customize the spectator controls. Included here is a picture of my type of mouse that should also be considered for users as it's still a considerably well-selling mouse.

Highlighted are the scroll buttons

KF Killing Floor 2 Minor animation bugs

The caulk n' burn sometimes doesn't show the proper animation when reloading, the arm moves but the canister isn't removed or replaced, the gun is just tilted down until it has been reloaded.

I also came across this in a game, *see attachments* I have no idea how or why, but i thought i might as well report it if I'm doing this. All I know is, clearly they are from the flamethrower, it has all the flame animation including the little exhausted flame drip at the side, and it appeared that only I was able to see it, even though I had not used a flamethrower.

KF Killing Floor 2 Minor animation bugs

Killing Floor won`t start

So basically I`ve been having this issue on KF for a while now, it won`t start at all, I`ve tried to delete the .ini files like many people suggested, but to no avail. I have tried basically every possible fix on the internet but nothing works, I`ve even deleted and re-downloaded the game a couple of times but nothing works, I am aware that this is a wide spread problem on Killing Floor so i`m sitting here wondering why there is no patch to fix this problem, anyways below is the error I recieve, sometimes I get a C++ error and other times i get a critical error.

Demolition review (From my point of view)

The demo is not that good when u compare it to the other perks.

1:Grenade handgun need to be changed to either tighter grouping on the shoots and more aoe, or make it one projectile with less dmg and good size aoe. alternatively a explosive dart that explode after 1-2 sec after it hits. the reason is there's no mid weapon between Grenade handgun and m79. you got no range on the handgun and it has no accuracy. i missed a clot 5 meters away from me with more then half the projectiles. It does no damage. On a group of zeds u need to shoot at least 2-3 times to kill the group and this is on normal/hard difficulty!!!! You only have 24 ammo at lvl1 and 29 at lvl 25 so can only kill 10 good groups if u are lucky. But on HOE it is just dead weight and the cost to get the m79 is to much. it's better to just use it the first round then sell it and use the m9.

2: M79 don't need much, save for more ammo. Ammo on lvl 1 is 16 and lvl 25 it is 21. On a wave of 400+ zeds u can't do much

3: c4 is a joke. if you've put up c4 somewhere and u die, u can't detonate it. even if u shoot at it!! And if u stack it it'll still wont detonate the whole stack. It'll just detonate one at a time so it is a bit annoying. Because u are always too late to detonate it. I'd rather have my pipe bombs from KF1. You could make it into proximity mines if there are more then 4-5 zeds it could explode, and if a big one comes it could also trigger it. alternatively u could have both and be able to switch between the modes.

4: RPG-7 need's more ammo (won't happen), or up the damage. Cause it has the same damage as m79 but with less ammo. it also takes up more space so it's really not worth it.

[How Do I?] Disable Texture-Streaming once and for all

Hello Guys,

i tried to disable Texture-Streaming because i can`t stand these popins/low LoD textures that you get sometimes.

Followed some Posts/Guides on how to do it but something seems to have changed.If i set all the allow.Texturestreaming entries to no,the game crashes on start.

Rising the Buffer does not seem to have an effect at all.

Can somebody please tell me how it is done or if it is impossible?

AMD Radeon R9 270X build 1009 driver crash

Category: Code(?)

Reproducibility: Sometimes

Summary: Killing Floor 2 causes my GPUs drivers to crash

Description: After installing and playing the new beta build for Killing Floor 2, I encountered an issue where textures would begin flashing rapidly, changing different colours. The intensity of the effect varies, from being playable and merely annoying, to causing the game to crash, at which point I'll be told my drivers had crashed but recovered. When this happens and to what intensity it happens seem to me completely random. I've played three or four games of Evacuation Point, and it happened every time. One out of one games on Biotics Lab, it happened without warning when fighting Hans, and out of two or three games on Catacombs, it never happened.

I don't believe my local settings play a significant role, as I've a friend with the exact same GPU who has the exact same issue. We both use Windows 7 64bit, and beyond that have no other duplicate hardware or software that, as far as I know, might be causing this. I have no issues with any other games, nor does my friend, and prior to using this build, I've never had any issues with Killing Floor 2. Thus it seemed to me reasonable something in the new build is causing it, though I've yet to opt out and see if it still occurs.

Online/Offline: Occurs both online and offline, and once it happens, assuming the game doesn't crash, even persists in the main menu.

To help visualize the issue, which I figured would be useful, I recorded a video of it happening with Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). Note that the random freezes do not happen in-game, and were a result of OBS for whatever reason.

Ideas, Suggestions & Game Issues

Hello, the people of Tripwire Interactive and forum users.

Within this thread lies all of my ideas, suggestions and things I note as issues. I may or may not feel like updating this but I will think of more things to display here on this thread.

Issues...

When the voice commands prompt is open while the cursor is hovering over the left side, the voice commands on that side appear to cut-off.

Suggestions...

More lighting, which includes indestructable lightning in KF_Catacombs because of how dark the entire map is.

Ideas...

Rising skills that are available at levels 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 19, 21 and 24. These skills are like rewards you get to choose before and after gaining a level where you get to choose a regular perk. These skills should not give much of an advantage as compared to the regular skills.

Automatic zed time when someone levels up one of their perks.

The ability to choose which skills you want before you gain the required level to choose them to prevent having to change them after the required level is met.

Is there a way to disable the controller?

Ok, let me explain something. I used a controller for the original Killing Floor using Xpadder it gave me great control and i could set up the keys anyway i liked. However, now that KF 2 is here it supports the controller but this puts me in a bad situation. Now i can not use Xpadder and i am stuck with the controls that are there and i don't like the auto aiming. Can i somehow disable the controller support so i can use Xpadder again? Thanks in advance.

Pathfinding bug in Burning Paris

I can't tell if this is a new problem with the latest patch or not (I'm playing the preview of the firebug demo patch) but if you sit in the window in the cafe, crawlers, stalkers, and all forms of clots are generally unable to get at you. They spawn in the doorway downstairs. I wish I knew how to take video to explain this better. These enemies will walk up the stairs a bit, then try to jump over the railing, but they miss the jump every single time and end up stuck in a loop. Stalkers are able to get past this however, and sometimes bloats spawn individually on the far side of the room and can get at you, but the bulk of enemies are stuck. I've noticed gorefasts can make the jump if they are charging, but otherwise they are stuck. Tested this a couple of times in solo and it happens every time.

What do you guys think about raged zeds after zed count is low?

I think who ever came up with idea is genius. This is just what was needed so players cannot run around forever easily after most of dudes are gone.

Catacombs Map glitch

I'm not really sure what you would call this, but I'm sure it was a map glitch.

Anyways when you spawn on catacombs theres these 2 downwards uneven stairway areas directly ahead of you. Now this only happened once for me but I walked uphill on that uneven ground and I took fall damage :confused:

Bugs I've encountered with C4

Okay I'm gonna quickly list down 3 bizarre bugs that occur with C4.

1.) When you enter 3rd person (defeating the boss) and you're selecting C4 but you have none left, it still displays the C4 in your hand, even though you have none.

2.) When Hans grabs me when i am holding C4, my arms bug out.

3.) Okay when you have zero C4 in your hand and you run over an ammo drop, you will get a new C4 right? No, it says you have C4 (ammo indicator) but it doesn't display it or use it (pressing reload doesn't fix), the way you fix this is by changing to another weapon then back to C4 and then you should have your C4 charge.

Thanks for reading and I hope you guys(TripWire) don't have too much trouble fixing this! :)

Lower Hans HP

I know a lot of people had issues with Hans right from the start, and I don't know if the new (beta) update has buffed him but I feel like he has way too much HP.

I've played three games today, and all three times we've won but the final battle came down to three or four of us running around the map for ten solid minutes trying to scrounge ammo enough to kill Hans. It's not like we're poorly balancing ammo, everyone hits the mark 90% of the time with Hans, it's hard not to. It just feels like a serious anti-climax when the final show of force comes down to a dull cat and mouse game where you hope you can find ammo.

Lower Hans HP

Are levels full of bodies no longer a thing?

I opted in the beta today to try out the new maps and perks and noticed my settings getting reset.



I went back to the gore section in KFEngine.ini to make the body count 250 again instead of the default 15 and make a bigger count for wound decals (which is bloody 5 by default).


Launched the game again only to keep seeing bodies vanish and the gore settings reset once again.


Is anyone else having this issue? Is there any way to stop the game from resetting the config file? Levels full of bodies was one of my favorite things about the game, I'd really hate to see it go away especially when it's so easily configurable.

Display owner's name on weapons

Don't know if this has been mentioned before out of the 78 other pages in the suggestions but I think having the owner of a weapon's name appear on a dropped weapon after they die or somehow drop it would be a good idea, similar to CSGO's mechanism. Something like "Archa_Tech's AA12" in the inventory.

I can't count how many times I've seen people ask "whose gun is this?". It's also good as a guilt factor for deterring players who pick up guns and decide to sell it. I mean it wouldn't ever prevent it from happening from it'd help in some circumstances say for example when people who just don't want to bother with the hassle of asking everyone take the easy way out and sell. With names, they can just effortlessly toss the weapon back to their respective owners after a round.

Little volume adjustments could do wonders

I love that tripwire make the guns have such a great feeling, and a big part of that is in the sound. The problem is that the volume of the weapons shooting are way, WAY too low. Even if you disable the music completely, the sound of your shots get lost in the enviroment sounds.

Nothing makes you feel like you are shooting a powerful weapon like the sound.

The speciments could also be a bit louder too. The general audio is already great in this game, its just too low...

Complete Review of update 1009

Well as almost all of you know update 1009 came out and i wanted to share some views of my own and the communities here. There is alot of random threads on it, but i figured i would go for one consolidated overlook/review.

So ill start off by looking down the changelog and going down it with general areas of review. (http://forums.tripwireinteractive.co...d.php?t=111627)

1) Maps:
The maps were honestly a side addition to this update, and from my short time with the new maps they seem like nothing game changing is presented. They are by no means bad maps, but i dont see them becoming anyone's favorite. To be honest with maps its a hard thing to hit really. I mean what makes West London so special? When asked this question a lot of people might not be able to put their finger on it, but there is no doubt it was a fan favorite nonetheless. When it comes to these maps i can say that there good additions, but like i said dont see them becoming fan favorites.

Catacombs is the highlight of this addition as it presents an interesting atmosphere and the idea and light sources being completely destroyed. Like i said though this is seemingly an idea because through my adventures in the catacombs i find that there is alot of light sources (of which some are indeed indestructible). Most of them however are destructible, but in order for some to be destroyed it almost seems like you would have to go out of your way in order to get a room pitch black. There doesnt seem to be this sense of fragile balance of light that i was hoping there would be. Seemingly i find that there is enough sources of light that you could always find a well lit area to stay throughout a 10 wave game, even if careless with grenades.

I wasnt sure exactly what i was expecting but i guess it would be something along the lines of in some rooms you would have 1 light illuminating the room with he possibility for it to get destroyed. This would challenge players as they would do a lot in their power to keep that thing going or they would have to move. To be fair though ill have to play this more to verify my findings here, but for not the conclusion stays as it is.

Rest of the sections of analysis will be in comments below.

Pre-match music leaks over into first wave

This has happened on various maps, mostly solo I think but it's happened quite a bit either way.

The ambient music playing when you choose your perk and such doesn't stop playing when you start the first wave. No fighting tracks play, just the pre-match one. Caught me off guard a couple times and it makes for a strange atmosphere during the first wave.

Pre-match music leaks over into first wave

Music and SFX get muffled

When you're low on health the music and SFX get muffled (which is normal). Although when you die and keep spectating the music stays muffled until you will respawn again.

C4 explosions glitches the doors

When the demolitionist puts a few C4's next to a welded door and detonates them, the door will blow up. But the door will still get displayed, although it's not solid anymore, you can walk through it, and so can the zeds. The mesh itself just doesn't disappear.

[beta] Sedate Darts while raged FP attacks glitched

Version: v1009 beta preview 8.15

Category: Animation, Code

Reproducibility: Could not reproduce

Description: When playing 6 player Catacombs Hard a raged FP attacked me in zed time. At the same time I fired my sedate darts and incapacitated it. I moved away but the FP stayed close to me while being stunned, just hovering. When it got out stun it immediately damaged me, so it wasn't just client side, the FP was close to me on server too it seems.

Reproduction:
Not sure but that's what I did the last time:
1.) Join a server with KF-Catacombs map
2.) Find a raging FP
3.) Sedate the FP in zed time while it does an attack (not sure which animation it was)
4.) Move away and the FP will follow you around like a pet until stun ends

Commando damage

Quote:

Commando Passive Changes Weapon damage now increases 1% every level

Wasn't it like that before? Anyway, commando definitely requires less bullets to kill any ZED so this stat has probably been fiddled with. The question is in what way? And what was it like before the beta if I'm wrong?

Joystick input issue

This has been an issue since the release of Killing Floor 2 in Early Access and decided to wait to say anything about it until after the preview build of "Incinerate 'N Detonate" to see if it would changed. However, it remains.

Anyways, my current joystick is a Logitech Extreme 3D pro and this seems to be a joystick that the Unreal 3 engine just does not like very much. While simply plugged into my computer it issues a constant input into Killing Floor 2, in this case constantly turning the camera.

This isn't an issue just related to Killing Floor 2, I've also had this problem(with the same input issued, perpetual turning) in Bioshock Infinite and Hawken. Both of which also use Unreal 3 which leads me to my previous conclusion that this engine isn't a fan of my joystick.
Oddly, Red Orchestra 2 suffers no such problem so I can only assume this is fixable, and is just a case of dedicating time to fixing the issue and it taking priority over other issues.
Also, I don't believe it to be an issue with my joystick and it is in perfect working order and works fine for the games I use it for it doesn't interfere with the vast majority of games I've played, only seemingly a problem with the few games I've mentioned. The Joystick is also calibrated correctly and even wiggling it to ensure it isn't "stuck" doesn't fix the issue.

Granted this is not a game breaking issue for me(well.. technically it is but you know what I mean), as all I do is disable the USB port to the joystick before running KF2, and just enable it again after since its kind of a pain to physically remove the cord since it's in the back of my tower. But I figured I should just make note of it in the hope that it will eventually be on the to-do list to be looked out and hopefully fixed.

I should also note I have a Logitech gamepad also plugged into the computer that suffers no problems, however I use neither for KF2 using solely mouse and keyboard.

Joystick input issue

Something wrong with connecting.

I have a serious issue that pretty much renders the game unplayable, when I try to search for servers it gives me about.. 0 - 5 results, and if I somehow manage to find a game through friend or sheer luck, everytime a map changes it disconnects me from the game.

This has happened in every single game I have tried to play in.

I have had issues with browsing servers for years with Tripwire games, but this new beta has broken even the gameplay.

Something wrong with connecting.

Which Companies have the Preview hosted?

I have a GameServer account and they do not seem to have the preview build at this time (have sent them a note), but I was told that only certain hosting companies have the Preview build available.

Would anyone from TWI have a list or if anyone in general knows a company, please post it here.

I would love to get one going in a DC myself, but I prefer to wait for a linux version to setup and have private for friends 24/7.

Thanks for any help.

Unable to buy anything (Preview 8.15)

Currently we're in a game with six players and it's impossible to select weapons in the trader menu. When you escape out it's also impossible to select any options in the menu. Every player in the session suffered from it.

Flamethrower visual effects

Perhaps this is old news because obviously the flamethrower has been out since EA launch (but I didn't pick it up until now) but, is it just me or are the flames underwhelming compared to KF1?

Full disclosure: I'm playing on the Low-Default settings. But I just remember KF1 flamethrower feel like I was pouring flames. Here it kinda feels like it's just going...whoosh. Like a single stream that goes poof instead of engulfing everything.

Is this just due to the poorer graphics in KF1? Am I just imagining this? lol A lot of topics I see in the forums are about like visceral experience of the firearms. I usually can't relate to those, but this really jumped out at me so I'm thinking I can't be the only one.

Exp and Achievements in opt in beta

Will Exp and Achievements gained in opt in beta carry over to main client. I read through the posts in steam community and main site but most i was able to find is one thread about this with an uncertain confirmation. I don't want to waste time leveling perks in optin beta if they are not going to carry over.

Crashing on splash screen

I opted in for the build preview, was able to play about 3 games before the game crashed. Since then I have been either crashing at the main menu or flash screen. I reverted back to the old Killing Floor 2 version but the problem still persists. I've verified, reinstalled, deleted my games folder, ran common distributables, uninstalled and installed phsyx, and tried launching option -dx10. Safe to say I'm at a loss and any help would be appreciated.

Anyone already tested how much can dedicated PhysX-card help with fps?

I got huge fps drops when they are massive explosions with a lots of guts.

Normally 80-120fps (Ultra -Realtime Reflections, 3440x1440) and when Flex is doing hes tricks and guts+fluids are flying around a screen, fps drops 30-50fps.

Misc. Berserker issues

I'm sure it's already known, but a lot of the descriptions of the passives and skills are written incorrectly, such as swing speed increase rate, damage resistance increase rate, the Block skill says 75% when it's (I think) supposed to be 50%, and so on.

Aside from that, a handful of the skills perform improperly here and there.
The Lifesteal skill seems to work only when it wants to, sometimes not working for a small chunk of time once in a while. It also says it works with any weapon, not just Berserker weapons, but a lot of times my off-perk kills don't grant health.
There's also the previously-mentioned issue of my level 15 skills not functioning when playing online, yet they work perfectly on solo.

RS Where is the option to upgrade my RO2 to RS?

Hello there!

I have bought RO2 retail days after it was released and I never could be bothered to upgrade to Rising Storm. Lately I was thinking about doing so, but I do not see the option.

Buying RS with RO2 included anyway for 17.99 EUR is too much for me considering I already paid 39.99$ for RO2 back in 2011.

Flashlights

So now that the commando and berserker have an innate night vision feature and the release of catacombs, hopefully the first of many tripewire and custom made dark maps, can we get more light sources for the perks that don't have flashlights mounted onto their good guns? Mainly talking about the support. Since they excel at close range, wouldn't it be nice to have a flashlight on the m4 and aa12?

A reasoning on economy and magazine count

As some of you have noticed from the changelog and playing the preview several weapon prices were changes and magazine count has been reduced on several weapons.

To give some perspective, this isn't the first pass on changes in this area and it won't be the last.

Now to give some background:

Ammo, Ammo and Dosh Everywhere. That is what the data was telling us. Players had little motivation to move beyond their tier 1 weapons (they hold up well until the big guys start coming), or use their pistols, and head right for their Tier 4 (the better than average player by wave 3, some by wave 2).

On top of that players were not using weapon pickups to fire them, they were collecting them to sell (not their intended purpose). And the ammo early on saved considerable fill up expense for players. More DOSH in the economy!

This all has a downside of making the game less exciting (and fun over the long term), especially in early waves.

So how can we address this? Well we have several levers we can pull. Cost, ammo, damage, speeds, etc. But experience has shown players don't like you "nerfing" weapons themselves. So we decided to experiment with the cost and magazine size (keeping the weapons feeling as they did before), and reducing ammo/weapon pickups in early waves (they scale back up as the game progresses).

Our early testing has shown that players are now using their pistols more often (much like KF 1) and they are exploring the tier 2 and 3 weapons. Some even opting for the tier 3 over the 4.

Now is what we have done perfect? Unlikely. We will continue to track the numbers and see how players are playing. If the changes pan out like intended we may roll out similar changes to some other weapons, if not, we will try something else.

exp in beta here to stay?

sorry if this has been addressed in one of the many posts by devs that i might have missed but will the exp we get in the beta carry into the regular game.

just curious

Ammo too scarce?

So like pretty much everyone here, I dove headfirst into the beta with glee. Most of it's pretty good I'd say, though a couple of the weapons for the new perks feel like they could use a small bump in damage. However, that's not what concerns me the most.

So if you have read the patch notes, you should know that Commando and Support had their ammo pools trimmed. This already seems like a poor idea, but it gets worse. Also mentioned is that ammo crates found on the map now only restore a partial magazine's worth of ammo. From what I've seen, it's about 1/5-1/4 of a mag, which is ludicrously low.

But wait, there's more! It seems like the spawn rates for ammo crates, armor, and weapons that drop randomly on the map has been massively reduced.

So to recap: Everyone carries less ammo now, ammo crates are significantly harder to find, and when you do manage to find one, you're awarded with a pittance of ammunition. Even on Hard I find myself running out of ammo quite easily, especially with the new perks.

I feel like this three-pronged attack on our ammo stores was simply too much. I can't see how HoE would even be possible without at least three supports running the ammo backpack skill now.

Ammo too scarce?

Support ammo nerf?

So I'm kind of curious as to why the pump and the boomstick as well as some commando weapons had their ammo reduced. It was already rough saving shotgun shells on hoe but now oh man. Anyone have any thoughts? Price increases etc dont bother me at all just the ammo reduction.

Support ammo nerf?

the moon in the burning paris level looks like garbage

I should create a master list of tiny nitpicks.
but yeah, if you look at the sky in burning paris, the moon looks like a pale grey sphere with soft edges, as though it's shining through a thick fog, except there is no fog. probably should add something that looks like complete cloud cover or just give the moon some detail.

rpg shots dont explode at close range when hitting enemies

which is fine, I've known of a lot of games that do this, realism and all that.

but I just noticed if you fire an rpg directly at the ground by your feet it will explode, which is a little inconsistent. maybe this should be changed.

rpg shots dont explode at close range when hitting enemies

is the firebug way overpowered?

Just testing this a bit and it seems like I can do waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more damage with the microwave gun than a support class with a fully loaded AA12 could ever hope to achieve

playing on normal with both the demo and firebug classes. they don't really compare, demo seems to be more geared towards aoe damage obviously so it's hard to compare, but a full RPG, hitting hans directly with a rocket, and having that rocket explode every time, can't kill hans, really only takes him into the yellow health, while a full microwave gun can take hans all the way into the red, deep into the red, (probably can kill him, I missed a little)

It's ridiculously fun, but like,

Just playing with it for a few seconds you can tell its one of those guns that's bound to get nerfed

Nvidia FleX Thoughts

This is not a complaint thread. It's a thoughts, feedback and experience thread.

Well, this feature is beautiful, disgusting and rather heavy on my poor GTX 970. I ran a test earlier and the frame drop, while not considerable, is certainly noticeable.

With both FleX fluid and gore enabled. I ran the FPS counter and shot some heads off, immediate loss of around 3 or 4 frames, it's strangely noticeable too. I am running on Windows 10 but I suspect it's just FleX that's heavy.

Next, I upped the ante a little; I used the C4 and M79 'nade launcher. Although still a noticeable performance loss (say around 10-12 FPS) the game is still playable. Whether i'll continue to use FleX though... i'm not sure.

However, it is a nice addition and makes the game feel a lot more visceral. The head popping is glorious as are the showers of goo and intestines that erupt from a well place nade.

Anyone had similar experiences? I also appreciate that the recommended GPU is a GTX 980. I filmed some footage with the FPS counter, let me know if you want me to upload it.

Trench gun is underwhelming

I feel like we should start singling out the various problems with the beta build now. I'd like to start with the new trench gun. Man does this thing feel weak in terms of power and sound. I loved the trench gun last game and it was my favorite firebug weapon, but now it just feels like an overrated fireworks shooter. From my experience on hard difficulty with 6 people, the damage seems a bit lacking. I can't quite one shot gorefasts in the upperbody as easily as last game. The stumble power seems to be pretty good with it though, for I can stumble sirens in one hit. The sound is just extremely underwhelming. No real sense of power coming from it. Feels like a fiery confetti cannon at most. Also the pump sound is pretty quiet too. It seems like the SG500 has a really quiet pump too. Might be an audio bug.

Trench gun is underwhelming

why are none of these vehicles damaged

so this car crashed through a brick wall and there is no front end damage. a lot of the vehicles in this map are like that. one has a bus on top of it but is completely undamaged. I know this is a tiny environmental detail that doesn't affect gameplay, but it's my first impression of the map. there are a lot of cars which appear to have been in wrecks but none of them are showing any damage at all. maybe they should be a little more crumpled?


(edit: removed image, because I don't know what I'm doing when uploading images and it turned into a big, long block of text somehow, sorry about that. was talking about the new evacuation zone map, and all the vehicles seen therein)

Evacuation Point recommends death

Being on top of the building after killing the last zed leads the map to recommend you jump off the building to get to the trader.

Mag and Slide stop moving on AK-12

After emptying the mag on the last few zeds, I reloaded normally with the AK-12, bought the Scar, then when I switched back to my AK-12, the mag read 0, and it also stopped cooperating with the animations. I had elite reload, if that matters at all.

The only thing that fixed it was selling the weapon and buying it again.

KF1 Music Mod, and general KF2 Audio Modding

Hi, I reverse engineered a bit of the sound files used for KF2 and managed to make a KF1 Music Mod a while ago (like on May, I held on releasing because SDK, but still no SDK :P)

Made a few videos explaining how to install, and how to make your own audio mods in case you are interested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPSS...3Qiuta&index=7

My mod removes all KF2 songs and replaces them with KF1 ones, also adds per-map playlists, and boss music that changes as the boss moves through damage phases.


EDIT: Maybe this could be on Finished Mods as a soundtrack mod too, I leave it to the mods to decide.

FLeX creates invisible wall

Category: Code, level design, other (don't know what exactly)

Summary: Invisible wall in front of Dosh Bling on Evacuation Point if FleX is activated

Description: If you go from the spawn directly ahead then you will eventually come to a few yellow emergency tents on the right. In one of them is a Dosh bling. If FLeX is activated it is impossible to shoot it. It is like an invisible wall in front of it. You can even see the bullets hitting the "wall".
turned FleX off and left the others settings untouched and i could shoot the dosh without a problem. I turned FleX back on and it was impossible again.

I tried that a few times more with all perks, always with the same result.
I also tried it offline and online on the TWI Servers... the same.

Sound/Interface issues (Build 1009)

Figured I should post this here rather than in the update thread. These are just a couple of bugs I found whilst playing the beta build 1009.

• Music is oddly loud on title screen but quiet in-game
• Downtime music plays even when the wave has started
• All pop-up based interfaces are warped and to the right (like the WAVE INCOMING, WAVE COMPLETED, and the vocalization wheel)
• New RO2 character uses DJ Scully's voice (though I reckon that's just for the beta)
• Firebug's starting weapon has no firing sound (or maybe it's just really quiet)
• Reload sounds in first-person are quieter and mostly in the right channel, except for the pistol (may have been intentional, but I kinda liked it better when they were louder)

Sound/Interface issues (Build 1009)

What are your feelings on the beta update? (here are mine)

-Catacombs map is wayyy too dark, but I have a feeling it was intended to be that way, considering the name, but still... Unreasonably hard to see, imo, and it just makes me not want to play it because it literally feels like taking shots in the dark

-The microwave gun is the best thing I've ever seen but I do miss the husk gun and the MAC10 very much </3 it would be nice to have an automatic firebug weapon

-The ammo reduction on certain weapons is confusing to me; what was the reason, exactly? because if you play suicidal or HOE, it already felt like weapons could use MORE if anything

-What's with the glowing Scrake chainsaw thing? and the glow-y Fleshpound... thing? What is that? Lol

One last thing: While I was playing earlier, there was one last person alive on our team during the boss fight, and he had a LAW, and he fired about... 20 rockets into the boss, but he never died, and he was on the final stage the entire time, and it was incredibly frustrating; I'm worried that either A) that was a bug or B) the boss doesn't take ANY explosive damage, which is silly...

Berserker bonus not working

Playing as level 25 Berserker on Hard, I notice all but my level 15 skill attributes are working, though only online. Playing offline, everything checks out fine, but I go online and the Furious Defender and Block skills don't work.

Tested the +75% damage after blocking against against a Clot with the crovel, didn't kill it in two hits.

Furious Defender wasn't speeding up my swing speed when I had it activated, thus I swung slower than the original swing speed prior to the beta release.

Berserker swinging super fast after Zed-Time

Bug is animation, other

I'm sorry, I do not have any pictures of this one as it's instant.

My berserker has the zed-time skill for full movespeed and faster swinging. I don't know if this is even connected.

I was swinging the pulverizer when I noticed this.

When zed-time stops, if the berserker is beginning or in the middle of a swing it will speed up at the same rate as zed-time for a split second. So the next swing comes through at mega speed or even 2 mega speed attacks at once have happened to me.

This was a 5-6 player online game on Burning Paris that I noticed this.

Berserker swinging super fast after Zed-Time

No Random drops and increased Zed speed

Minor gameplay issue. Playing the beta on steam, Windows 7, Playing as a Perk level 0 Demolitions on Burning Paris, normal difficulty. I have searched the entire map and can find 2 ammo boxes at max, no weapons, no armor, opposed to the traditional 10 or so along with armor and weapon drops.
Along with this, the attack speed of the zeds seem to have increased by half. Clots, Bloats, slashers and others are charging me at a far faster speed than they usually do on normal difficulty.

Destroyed door stays standing visually - No gameplay effect

Bug is animation I think.

I welded this door on Evacuation on one of the upper levels, it only has 1 narrow ledge connecting to it which leads to outside. I welded it to 100% and left it to be destroyed as I played the wave. It was broken, zeds came through as usual but the doors were still up.

After the fight I went up to it and saw this:



It looks like the door has been knocked down but only played the very first part of the animation.

I'm not sure how to replicate it but if it helps I was using both the flamethrowers all around that area quite a lot.

This was an offline/solo game.

The bug I think is 3d art and/or emitter.

Unable to reproduce it, don't know how it happened, sorry!

Was playing in Evacuation online when I ran past this:



It was the full flamethrower firing animation but just floating in the air. It interacted with clots walking through it but only visually, didn't set them on fire.

I wasn't the one firing there so I didn't see this bug trigger, I'll post again if I see it more!

Are there no beta Servers for South Korea, Japan and China?

If I am correct, there are currently no beta servers (preview 8.15) for South Korea, Japan and China so I have no choice but to connect to servers that have 200+ ping, and I know it will be unplayable due to severe lag. Playing Killing Floor 2 alone isn't fun either, so players from East Asia actually cannot fully experience the entire beta.


Tripwire, are you going to add beta servers for South Korea, Japan and China? If not then East Asians may have to wait until the actual update release, and even then we don't know the date of the update release either. It is somewhat disappointing after the long wait for an fresh update.

Caulk gun reload animation bug and potential pathfinding error

The new update is GREAT but I got this bug and another potential bug;

Category: animation
Reproducibility: Unattempted - might re-occur when reload cancelling
Online bug.

Description: Halfway through this video you see me reload cancel from the caulk gun to the pistol, after this point and for the rest of the game the animation for my caulk gun wouldn't play properly (the cans not leaving their housing)

Caulk animation bug

The other one may or may not be an error so I decided to just throw it in this post. I noticed zeds falling straight past the broken window of the ferry instead of getting into the room like one or two managed to do. When we were downstairs they fell onto the bus and walked off just fine, but in that room they consistently fell past. Just seemed unintended to me

How do we update dedicated server to match beta?

Can anyone please explain with basic steps on how to update our dedicated servers so we can host the new maps?

I did the following within steamcmd.

app_update 232130

app_update 232130 validate

It told me the the server was up to date in steamcmd, however when i try to host any kind of map it tells me otherwise, when i try to join my own server it says something among the lines of "the server you are trying to join is out of date, please update server".

Please advise.

Many thanks!

Whats with all the PW servers?

So, I'm trying to play some of the Beta and it seems like every damn server available that is under 200ms ping is freaking password protected.

It's incredibly annoying, and rather selfish if I say so myself. At this point it's basically unplayable for me, I get very little enjoyment from playing solo and I'm not about to deal with insane ping rates.


If you operate a server, can you please make it public so players like me can actually play the Beta?
Will TWI themselves operate any dedicated servers?

Whats with all the PW servers?

KF-NantesMadness Beta01

Hi all,

This card is an adaptation of my native city. I fully all modeled and textured by me. But there's a problem. Knowing that KF2 SDK , can not accept the "Custom texture" .

I had to use the tutorial a player ( http://ift.tt/1hrNcQr ).

Which removes light textures and some bumps ... I add assets KF2 for garnish a bit more, but that does not satisfy me. The record I had in the SDK satisfy me much , but I can not offer you the unfortunately. I hope you like it.

Good game

new Berserker passives incorrect

The new Berserker passives (or their description) seem to be wrong.
In the description of the resistance it says (0%/level).
In the description of the melee attack speed it says (5%+.4/level) and I have 10%, but with 25 level it should be 5%+.4%*25=15%.

Old-school medic dart solution

Why not make the auto lock-on .5 - 1 seconds longer, and make manual darts still hit like they used to in the previous game?
That way could adapt to a certain playstyle, if you know you're gonna hit your darts, you're going to dispense them more often.
vice versa if you're uncertain in your abilities you can just wait for a few milliseconds longer and hit them, making sure you don't miss any.

Thoughts?

Will there be a physical copy brought out?

Not sure if this has been asked (i checked - briefly) but...

Will KF2 have physical copies distributed through retailers like Amazon or Game? (For PC)

And will there be a collectors ed.? (with a miniature of Hans, mug or T-shirt etc)

- Yeah I know if there is likely to be after proper release.

Just asking.

Will there be a physical copy brought out?

just reminding that the kf2 website needs to be updated with new perks

Door damage idea

We have weld health and door health as two separate things...

so why have weld health depleting destroy the door? Just pop it open, and have the door health running out be the only way to destroy it for real. Then add something so the zeds attack a closed door once to throw it open, rather than just opening it, so if you're spamming closing doors without welding they still get destroyed eventually.

Other good things are teleportation fixes and making door hp visible in some way, perhaps by introducing damage states for doors... but I think both of those have been talked about to death.

So, what do y'all think?

A Message for Tripwire (xpost from reddit)

i'm kinda angry at the moment so i'm just gonna keep this short and preferably free of the taint of my agitation. SO! people who have never played kf2 before have gotten to playtest the next update before those that have experience with kf2. these people have, apparently, also had say in what things should be changed in the game. well, i've got some news for you, tripwire! that's the build you should have given to us, your playerbase. you want us to have a say in how content comes out in the end? you need to give it to us a little bit raw. you don't cook a steak to well done for a customer before they've even told you how rare they want their meat. the things we would have you change are best changed while you've not yet cooked it to completion. it doesn't do you any good if you're serving a well done steak to a customer that wanted it bloody, what happens in the end is you have to throw the steak away and start over again. that should never have to happen, throwing away your work. so, while you may only want to give us completed content, please remember that we can't convey what we want if you're acting in anticipation of it rather then as a reaction to it.

Paid for DLC in Killing Floor 2

Tripwire should stop handing out free playable characters in KF2.

Sounds CrAzY but let me explain my thinking.

For years to come I hope to see Killing Floor 2 grow, improve, and evolve to the games peak potential. This is only possible if Tripwire Interactive has sufficient funds to continue work on the game. That is not new information to any of us, but let me remind everyone of this unfortunate example - Unknown Worlds Natural Selection 2, a promising game that died quickly. After the games release Unknown World realized there was not enough money to continue NS2 development so they started a fundraising campaign to donate to them. Seriously. In short, the team did not reach the end goal thus handing the responsibility of the games future development over to the community.

Admittedly, I HATE paid for weapons and maps! Fortunately there is strong evidence to support that TW will not be doing such in KF2 (except the cross promotional loophole). As KF2 stands now there are enough (quality) playable characters to satisfy new players, but as time goes on they may want to branch out and find "their character". Team Fortress 2 and Chivalry are great examples of that principle, and it works, People Pay For Cosmetics. The advantages here are that seeing double characters in game is less likely, higher quality characters, continued support for KF2, potential for tons of new characters, and no need for other paid content!

This scenario is a win win for Tripwire and fans and I would bet TW already knows this. What are your thoughts on paid for DLC? Tell Tripwire here, if you can, offer real solutions because great games are not made off of good will alone. To wrap this up, No more free characters we have a good selection now. Characters and characters alone ought to be the only paid for DLC of KF2.

What would I be coming back to?

Hey all - just checking in..

I haven't played (or even been on steam) in 4 or 5 months.

With the migration some have begun taking to KF2 what type of server population should I expect when I boot this game back up? Summer is almost over so it's time to start gaming again. :D

What would I be coming back to?

Phosphate plant in multiplayer campaign?

Just played the game for the first time in a long time, hopped into the 40-1 Rising Storm multiplayer campaign server running the Phosphate plant map.

There clearly is some big balancing fault in that map, because the attacking japanese team got only two light mortars while the defending american team got FOUR flamethrowers. The flamethrowers alone racked up over a hundred kills in the A and B objectives. Needless to say, the attacking team ran out of tickets and time as early as the C objective, while the defenders still had hundreds of tickets left.

Now, I get it that some maps are definitely harder to attack as japanese, because of the asymmetrical gameplay. But seriously - four flamethrowers on a defending team? I think that's a bit overkill

Redirecting servers - question to the devs and ppl who know this stuff

"Redirects" as most of us know work as follow - you join a server running a map you dont have. Download starts and if you have decent broadband and are not far from server location you have game on your machine in 15-60 seconds. Instead of taking file from game server directly you fetch it from a super fast redirecting server.
Now map file goes to C:\Users\UserName\Documents\My Games\RedOrchestra2\ROGame\Cache and may look like this (example) FB7769184C5E77D6C363C58EC9AECDC3.uxx
Next time you play this map you dont need to download again and your game knows where is a map file located. I assume that this file must have some informations that that tells the game where is should be used.

To the point - there is no problem with the maps but there is a massive problem with the mods that contain more different files.
Basicly even if you put all required files on redirect and your client downloads it still you are not able to play your mod on game server.
You will crash or some content wont be displayed properly (weapons , skins for example.)

So we have all the files in mentioned before cache folder but when you connect to the server your game doesn`t know where to look for them.

I see this problem as the biggest blockage to all comunity created mods.
Only few percent know what to do - where to subscribe, what file edit etc.

My question is - how does it all work? Why player game knows where to find map files but doesn`t know where to find mod files?
Can it be fixed or corrected or maybe it`s not so simple as it seems?

Mods please dont move this thread as it will get more attention in here :)

KF-DistrictOne (Day Version)

Beta trial of the Map made by the community member of our Server,who is to shy to post it somewhere lol.

About the Map :

A District industrial area,with overgrown feeling of foliage as the apocalypse of zeds went on,there was nobody left to take care of this area.

The member who made this wanted to go abit towards the post-apocalypse looking map like KF1,as she disliked the ''Present Day'' looking maps of KF2.

The map will also come out as Night Version at some point !

Map Info :

- Offers In-Door and Out-Door gameplay
- Medium Size
- Works good for Custom Servers
- Challenge in Solo
