From the day of halloween update so some friends and I e have had the following problem when we try to go to multiplayer / Host game / profile and achievements we skip the message `` Steam must be running and you must have an active Internet connection to access this'' one of my friends just puts you download any map from the server to enter. e have tried to reinstall the game, check cache, restart both router as the pc delete all documents in the root folder of steam.
KF Connection issue
- Thread starter Demonio_666
- Start date
I'm getting this problem as well, whenever I try to host or play multiplayer it says I need an internet connection or need to be connected to steam, and when I go into solo I don't have any of my perks or anything.

Guys check inside your KF/System folder for KillingFloor.log. It is a .txt file and inside there, you hopefully will find this next part but with a different file name at the end
If you do, delete or move that file out of KF's folders. This stops your whitelisting from allowing your client to have any form of that. Not sure if that will help.

I get the same thing to lizza, also do not know if it happened to someone else but when I give cache check always tells me that 1 file failed to validate

Something must be blocking it from accessing your steam. Try closing and re-opening steam to see if that refreshes the connection.

I tried that but still does not work, what kind of programs could block the steam than the firewall or antivirus?

Anyone who validates KF even when it is 100% fully up-to-date should still get a '1 file failed to validate' message. It is not at all descriptive of a problem.

Good evening,
This is happening to me as well, after the rollback update. Checked game files.
Searched "Log: STEAMSTATS: SECURITY CHECK FAILED" in the killingfloor.log, there's no line like that.
On the first launch I've been able to see the Profile & Achievements menu, then I clicked on Multiplayer; Now, can't play online nor see the page above. Joining through Steam gives an error.
Edit: Changing the Steam download location from "France - Paris" to "Spain & Portugal" seems to have fixed it, as suggested there:

I am on a windows client and I too have the issue. the popup box isn't very descriptive and it doesn't throw an error other than;
steam must be running and you must have an active internet connection to access this
NOTE: Windows patching wasn't working on this box, so I did a refresh on the workstation and it ended up wiping out all games. I reloaded evry game back on same workstation and Steam thought this machine was an additional box, and had me do the code thing to verify and add this box to the list. I refreshed the box back in mid November....KF was working fine, until about 5-10 days ago.
I got it to stop for 1-2 game starts.
THEN, from the Profile and achievement submenu, I choose another character skin rather than the default one and I get the error once again. So, I can choose a new skin....I use the medic Alfred or whatever and save my selection.
I can then close the game out completely, so I am on the desktop.
I start up KF, and it goes into a windowed-mode, and I cannot do anything but click the "X" to close the game out to the top right. I close the game out, and I am on the desktop.
I restart the game once again, and it throws the error "steam must be running and you must have an active internet connection to access this".
I have repeated this issue several times using the steps above. I am on a fully patched win 8.1 machine.

Hummm not sure why the log cut off, unless posts have a maximum line limit. I am at a remote site right now, not at the workstation in question. If logs are needed, I will attach, or point to an alternate url for downloading later this evening.
