Killing Floor Critical Error HELP!

Would help if you could post your system specs. Specifically your cpu and gfx card.

Also you say your heat is fine, would be helpful if you could post resting / working rates for your cpu and gpu temp, just to clarify.

Overheating *generally* just causes graphical anomalys and severe framerate slowdowns, but it could be causing the crash. It's always worth checking your fan and heatsyncs on your cpu and gfx card for dust etc, also your case fans if you have any.

Starting today, whenever I try to open Killing Floor, I ge tht efollowing error message:

"InPos>Size in FFileManagerWindows. this error is probably due to either your computer overheating, or a corrupted installation of the game. If this error continues, please try reinstalling the game."

My computer's heat is fine. I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling on steam, but same thing.

Help desperately needed please.

I just tried that link, but yeah it needs a login.

I assume from his post it's in re: of virus blockers, try disabling whatever you have one when you run KF, Norton for example and all the rest.

I am getting Malloc error everytime I try to launch the game. This happened after the update was installed. I have tried installing and and reinstalling the game, deleting the ini file as mentioned and I have updated my video drivers. I get this error when I launch the game.

the crosshair moves freely,

What?

When I said the crosshair moves freely, I meant that when I moved my mouse around after it freezes, a light-blue crosshair appears. I didn't realise there wasn't a crosshair in KF, only when that happens. Sorry if I didn't really explain what happened well. =/

"crosshair moves freely"

Oh, I also forgot to mention that when this happens, the screen stays still, while I can move the crosshair. Hope that bit helps, although I honestly highly doubt it will.

I have this exact same error, any chance someone can tell me what log file he was referring to so I can find out what addition has fecked my game? I recently installed a feckton of maps and meshes.

Bump

killingfloor.log located in your killingfloor\system directory.

Cheers, Morello. Fixed it, it was a duff copy of TheHiveV2 map. Doh.

Old thread, but in case anyone hits it in google like I did; the error:

"InPos>Size in FFileManagerWindows. this error is probably due to either your computer overheating, or a corrupted installation of the game. If this error continues, please try reinstalling the game."

Is generally because one or more files are invalid/corrupted. I downloaded some custom maps to the kf/Maps directory of a dedicated server and this error started showing during startup. After removing the map files, the error went away and the server started normally.

Whoever wrote this error needs to seriously reconsider their career in programming though. How about providing the full path to the file that was being read when the error occurred instead of postulating wild hypotheses like "your computer is overheating"... This error may as well read "Random Error: Possibly the laws of physics have changed today or God just doesn't like you." because that would be about as useful as the information it provides at the moment.

On error => provide as much debugging information as possible and/or full stack trace. Thank you. (Probably Epic that are at fault here within Unreal Engine not Tripwire.)
