reinstalling kf

[trooper714]

how do i uninstall and reinstall killing floor?

when i play any map it takes too long to load or it wont load at all; it didnt take so long to load before..so im trying to reinstall killing floor to see if that fixes it.

?? if i reinstall will i keep my perks??

you can uninstall by right clicking the game in the steam games list and then clicking 'delete local content'

You will keep your perks, but i would not do this yet as many people are having the same issues with the new update and a patch is expected soon to resolve it. So my advice is just wait a little while.

but how long till this patch comes out, i want to play now

You can't start KF at all?
Did you install a custom map or something by yourself?

A while ago I had the problem that KF crashed everytime after I installed a custom map and copyed files into a wrong directory.
In the directory
\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\System
is the file "KillingFloor.log".
If there is something causing a crash, it will be showing up there.

Post your "KillingFloor.log" and we take a look together

Try That

) Find your KillingFloor.ini file located in the steam/steamapps/common/KillingFloor/system folder (hint it looks like a notepad icon with a cog)
2) Change the cache size to better match your ram size
Listed under [Engine.GameEngine].

256 Megabytes of RAM or less
CacheSizeMegs=32

512 Megabytes of RAM
CacheSizeMegs=64

768 Megabytes of RAM
CacheSizeMegs=128

1 Gigabyte of RAM or more
CacheSizeMegs=256

EDIT BY Zetsumei: NEVER make CacheSizeMegs bigger than 256mb unless you like crashes!

Fix2: Turn of PreCaching
Also in your redorchestra.ini 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

Btw thanks Yoshiro for this trick ive copy/paste from steam forum

There is no "redorchestra.ini" on my PC, but insteed I found all the entrys in my "KillingFloor.ini".

I'll see if it fixes some "issues" for me
