As you now know, we released Killing Floor 2 across officially across PC and PS4 this past weekend. It has been a very exciting time for both returning players and new fans who are just joining us to fight back the waves of Zeds! First of all, we would like to thank all of you for joining us on this journey of what is only one major milestone of hopefully a long trip together.
We've been spending a good chunk of our time since Friday monitoring stats, looking at crash reports, and reading player feedback. Today I want to let you know how that is turning into direct action from us.
First up, PS4. We are prioritizing parties being split apart during matchmaking as well as infinite load time reports (we currently believe this issue is isolated to one map for the Versus Survival gametype, which we are going to remove from the server rotation as we work on a fix). We are also keeping an eye out for any reports of matches that can not be found (however, keep in mind if you run into this, a full power cycle of your PS4 will most likely clear up this issue - not a reset, the PS4 must be powered down). We are also investigating a few cases where Trophies are not triggering properly as well as key prices being incorrect in some EU regions of the PSN.
Globally we are looking at feedback on the Firebug and, new with the launch of the game, the Survivalist. While I don't have any information to share just yet; we are looking into some changes for both of these perks based on player feedback. We should have more on these over the coming days/weeks. Remember you can keep an eye on the top issues we are tracking here on our Trello board: https://trello.com/b/ZOwMRlcW/killing-floor-2-community-issue-roadmap
Beyond these issues, we have been reproducing community reported bugs and are starting to work on addressing them in our next update. Our content teams are also hard at work; for those of you just joining us with the launch of the game we are working towards a new weapon for the Berserker (the mace and shield), a new Zed (double bladed Gorefast), and a new map!
Looking ahead into next year, our production team is sorting out the roadmap for our intended content goals which includes: New Maps (both our own and community created ones taken official), New Weapons (for many if not all of the perks including some old favorites), New Zeds, New Boss (or potentially more) and New Game Modes, along with the return of the Seasonal Events from Killing Floor 1. Many of these items are in some sort of prototype or production already (one old favorite weapon and one soon to be new favorite are in early testing), so it is shaping up to be an exciting year ahead!
As an additional note for PC players who participated in our Early Access, we believe we have found a way to retroactively grant players the reward items. This will likely be part of our next update, but we will keep players informed via the support site and KB article on the subject.
