On Steam, click Play and it will show the Killing Floor splash screen for a few seconds then it exits back to the Steam window. Console log when attempting to launch game:

The first thing that looks weird is that it can't seem to connect to Steam. Well, I tried L4D2, HL2, TF2 ... those all run fine. I even went into the Steam client and changed the download region from San Diego to Los Angeles. No solution. I deleted the local game content, removed the system folder for the game, removed the NCF files... redownloaded the game. Same error and behavior.
 
I'll look into this when I am in front of my home Mac as this issue does not occur for me. It seems to denote issues with setting the trigger to the executable launch. That "deprecated call" warning has been around since Leopard and shouldn't cause issue. They still haven't removed the functions from the OS.

You may wish to check that you don't have "+mat_queue_mode" in your launch properties for this game on Steam (right-click on game, select Properties, clear any Launch Properties).

So I'm not the only one after all... except I never had any launch options set for it (minus forcing it to play DA2 on occasion). I also tried the usual suspects (validation, uninstall/reinstall, reinstall from different servers, etc.).

I didn't think of checking the console log till I saw this thread, but I do now notice the segment noting Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file

Any pointers in this case?
