Fixing Crashes and Increasing Performance

[[}{]xProvidence*]

If you suffer crashes on the KFL server, then try this out:

Your killingfloor.exe is generally found here:
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\System
It might be different depending on your letter drive and steam folders are.

Here's a easy to setup guide: www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112556

Locate the KillingFloor.exe with that program above and apply it

Make sure to apply the crash fix every offical Tripwire update as it might need re applying

Hello there chaps!

It's your friendly neighbourhood McBlackjack here with a public service announcement.

So you suffer from periodic crashing? Then read on!

Since Killing Floor was based on the Unreal 2004 engine, it was only designed to be able to use a maximum of 2 gigs of ram as per the restrictions of windows XP and the 32 bit operating system therein.

With our highly modified and substantially more taxing use of custom scripts and spawns on the KFL server, it uses a lot more ram. As a consequence, once we go over the 2 gig threshold... BAM. Crash.

The answer is to make Killing Floor "Large Address Aware".

This is what is required...

1. DL CFF Explorer from here www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php and install it.

2. Locate your killingfloor.exe executable in your steam folder.

My path is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\System\killingfloor.exe"

3. Right click on your killingfloor.exe file and select "Open with CFF Explorer" in the drop down box.

4. You should now be faced a screen with a selection of expandable headings down the left hand side and an info tab on the right.

5. From the left hand side of the expandable headings you need to select "File Header" under "Nt Headers"

6. You should now see a table with "Member, Machine, NumberOfSections" etc in the left hand column. What you want is "Characteristics"

7. On the very right hand side highlighted in blue will be a "click here"

8. Click it.

9. It will bring up a list of tick boxes. Look down the list until you find "App can handle >2gb address space"

10. Tick it. Press Okay and then go to File, save and exit.




Enjoy playing KF without crashing.

Like a BOSS.


Cheers.

McBlackjack.
