My girlfriend's getting this same issue. She was able to play yesterday but ever since today's update she's been unable to launch.

I have the exact same messages , have tried everything i can think of and to no avail can no longer play the game !

Every other game i have loads and plays fine settings up high as well including
Crysis , Cysis warhead and crysis 2 which are hogs on video.

have checked/verified files (and deleted system folder)
have reinstalled
have checked DirectX
have installed lastest video drivers
have done all windows updates

so whats the answer ?

Please try deleting KillingFloor.ini out of the following folder: .../Steam/steamapps/common/killingfloor/System/

Have tried everything i can find through the forums and nothing works ,
It was playing fine until the update so there must be something in that
which has caused these problems

I can't find an ini folder in there, the closest thing to that is a killing floor int folder... what else is there to do? D:

Guys, please recognize that all of these crash reports are different...for these guys, their crash was due to setting the game to use the Software Renderer, which gets you this crash:

Build UT2004_Build_[2004-11-11_10.48]
OS: Windows NT 6.1 (Build: 7601)
CPU: GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 2660 MHz with 3956MB RAM
Video: No Video

General protection fault!

History: UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <-  UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine  <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Free

This is the part that identifies which kind of crash this is:

 General protection fault!

 History: UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <-  UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine  <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Free

This tells us that it was a generic crash("General protection fault!") that happened in UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice.

If the error you are seeing is not a "General protection fault!" or you do not see "UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice" in the error, then you have a different crash and need to create your own thread with the error message that you are seeing.

There is NO ini folder but there are *.ini files (in the System folder), which can be deleted.
