There´s many things that could be causing lag, two most important things we need to examine are your PC´s specs and internet connection.

You are running Windows 7 with only 2GB of RAM. That´s already a big no-no, as even the 32-bit W7 eats alone that 1GB of RAM. Killing Floor is left with what is left, which ain´t much with Steam and other programs running.

Your specs in general appear a bit low, especially your videocard. Are you playing on a laptop perhaps? That would explain a lot.

Try reducing your ingame settings, trying better servers and Soloing. If nothing helps, you gotta upgrade your machine.

I HAVE FOUND A FIX FOR THIS!!!


If you have turned off PreCaching, like me, then you need to enable it. By doing the following:


1) Find your KillingFloor.ini file located in the steam/steamapps/common/KillingFLoor/system folder (hint it looks like a notpad icon with a cog)
2) Change the values listed below:

under [ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem]
Change UsePrecache=False to UsePrecache=True

and under [Engine.LevelInfo]
Change bNeverPrecache=True to bNeverPrecache=False

and under [Engine.NullRenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=False to UsePrecaching=True

and under [D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=False to UsePrecaching=True

and under [D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=False to UsePrecaching=True

and under [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=False to UsePrecaching=True

and under [PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice]
Change UsePrecaching=False to UsePrecaching=True


And you should run smoothly on that map. Glad I could help anyone!

P.S. I registered only to post this. That's why it's my first post KILLING FLOOR IS DA BEAST!
