Note #1: if Windows Notepad messes up the spaces and line endings, use any other editor of your choice, such as Sublime Text, Atom, Notepad++. Open kf2-guaranteed-startup.cmd with any text editor. If you download it as a ZIP archive, extract the contents to any directory. Where to get the batch script: ZIP archive direct link | GitHub repository In this case, let the user know that everything is OK and the crash-protection script can be closed. It starts KFgame.exe, waits until it's closed and makes the next decision based on the exit code:Ībnormal exit (issue, error, crash): close the BugSplat window, restart KFGame.exe.Ĭlean exit without any errors / problems: this would normally happen when a user closes the game via in-game menu. However, until the source of the issue is identified, something needs to be done to make launching Killing Floor 2 a less annoying process.Ī temporary solution I would like to offer is a crash-protection batch script, which guarantees a successful KF2 startup and needs to be executed only once. Unfortunately, I don't know what exactly causes this problem, and any information you can provide on that matter would be greatly appreciated. The whole pointing, clicking and tapping process gets old. Perform Step 1 - Step 4 for an unknown amount of times (usually, not less than 3).įinally proceed to playing the game after X retries. Point, click, point, click, click, tap, tap, tap (the amount of clicks and taps depending on whether you decide to send the bug report or not). Start the game (either point & click-click, or tap-tap-tap-tap-tap).
This, in turn, makes starting the game a tedious routine task: Some players, including me, still have to deal with the issue after trying all of the available fixes. Solutions posted in the Tripwire Interactive Support Knowledge base, as well as various answers found in the Steam Community and third-party websites, do not solve the problem for everyone. Many of you have probably experienced frequent crashes when trying to start Killing Floor 2. Hello, fellow Zed killers and Dosh grabbers!
