Beta Map KF-Road to Perdition-Beta
- Thread starter S281
- Start date
man i love how when we have these mission maps, people think im spawning 100+ zombies at a time. Like i say on every mission map someone complains about this;
DO NOT TRUST THE ZOMBIE COUNTER
There are no more that 40 zombies in that map at a time (unless your soloing)
If your soling, you might get some fps drop because there is less firepower thus more zombies in the map at a time. So i recommend you play this map with a team.
besides this map gameplay was meant for 3+ Players.
Oh and in the final version i will be adding the run back spawn triggers, so if you decide to spawn the zombies and run back as a tactic, you wont be able to do that in the final version

Hey guys, the map keeps crashing on me whenever I try to load it. Solo, multiplayer, it's the same deal. One of the times it crashed I was met with an error message saying that I needed to free up some virtual memory for it to load. Another time it gave me an error message about a texture failing to load.
Now I don't think that there's a problem with the memory, I have 4gb of RAM and about 90gb left in the external KF is running from. As for the texture deal, everything was installed correctly and sequentially reinstalled correctly as well.
I was just wondering if you have heard anything about this problem or have any idea of what may be going on on my end.
Thanks, and the map looks great, I really can't wait to play it!

I believe this problem has something to do with certain graphics cards/drivers. Several other players have had this issue or ones similar too it. If anyone could figure out how to fix this problem that would be awesome as Fel and I want everyone to be able to play it.

everyone who keeps crashing please post your system spec (ram and vid card)
We have been having problems with people on low end comps crashing casue of the size of the MyLevel. Hence the packets.
BUT
We still need to packet up the StaticMeshes we are hoping taht will help. But that will be for final version.
If you tweak your Video Settings Under Virtual Memory, I have heard that this helps alot.
Whats happening is the comp is trying to load the MyLevel (during map load) Then there isnt enough Memory to load the lvl so your Comp will crash, and give you an error. (most common has been the virtual memory error, so we believe this is the issue)
AKA: No Virtual Memory left to load anything so comp crashes

NVIDIA Users (Potential crash fix)?
NVIDIA Users (Potential crash fix)?
My computer specs:
Operating System: Windows 7
Motherboard: Gigabyte EP45-UD3L
Processor: Intel Q8200 Quad-Core CPU @ 2.8Ghz
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 - Latest Driver Version: 258.96 WHQL
Memory: 4094MB RAM
When S281 invited me to play the other day to try the map out, I too had crashed twice before I managed to get my game crash-free.
I believe I had both errors as ZFDcorpz did, but I know for a fact I shouldn't be crashing from a lack of RAM or HDD space.
So, as for how I got my game to run on this map after crashing twice. (Nvidia Users)
Go to Start-> Control Panel-> NVIDIA Control Panel-> Manage 3D settings-> Program settings: Add Killing Floor to the list of games, if it isn't already-> Then turn on "Extension limit" from off to on.
I believe this is all I did to fix my crashing problem. I'd have to agree with S281 that this is a graphics card/driver related issue.

Great map Thx Fel and S281
So I install the map without problem on my servers and I also play with my friends without problem
But we've been quickly blocked from the beginning of the game here:
[url]http://nsa17.casimages.com/img/2010/08/14/100814022508374464.jpg[/URL]
So we're playing again and we remain stuck on the screenshot you see above and the meter is stuck at 15 as we had killed all the specimens I note that no specimens had landed at this spot screenshot, we had just to kill the wave before and we walked just seeing the counter down by itself and it is staying in block 15 and then nothing we've waited 10 minutes and still nothing and has simply the map again three times and always the same block in the same place with the stuck 15
You think that this is indeed a bug or a mistake on my part???
Just for information, although I took the link to the beginning of the post,and I had no problems installing on my server and also access the map either to another player or myself
Sorry for my bad english

No problem. The map isn't set up like a normal map and has some parts which require the player(s) to activate certain things in order to proceed through the level. There should be a text dialogue that pops up though every time a player reaches one of those areas/events.

Lol, oh ok. I have been playing with a few people who haven't beaten the map yet and can already see where some editing of game play needs to be. Although Fel is the one who alters the zeds spawning. Anyone else been able to beat the map yet? The ending is pretty cool and helps set up map 2.

Yes I am the one who creates the chaos in which i expect you to traverse.
Its actually not that difficult, we can normally beat it on normal in 1 shot with a team of 4-6.
Lol at least its not as difficult as Damnation

hehe i tried it solo on beginner. and i didnt realize i had to wait a certain amount of time in the beginning to be able to proceed i thught if i got away from a few of the zeds it wouldn't matter. but noo in the beggining i get to the end of the tunnel with unknown time left because the timer didn't work. and the gate was closed. and guess what flooded down the stairs? the continuesly spawning zeds!! oh joy... good map though

after the car alarm goes off, and you kill the zeds. wave ends, and you go down to the tunnel to the sewer.
there it will say you next objective at wave 2 down in the actual sewer area

THX for the vids BartBear, that was really cool of you
ps you need practice on the chaingun ^^
also noticed you missed the hidden key that unlocks an ammo/weapon room in wave5 area

Intel C2D
4GB RAM
nVidia GTX 260
Windows 7 64 bit
DX 9/10/11
Scenario 1
nVidia 197.45 drivers, KF render device "Direct 3D", paging file disabled, extension limit off:
out of virtual memory crash on map load
Scenario 2
nVidia 197.45 drivers, KF render device "Direct 3D", paging file enabled, extension limit on:
texture load crash on map load
Scenario 3
nVidia 258.96 drivers, KF render device "Direct 3D", paging file disabled, extension limit off:
CreateTexture failed(8007000E). crash on map load
Scenario 4
nVidia 258.96 drivers, KF render device "Direct 3D", paging file enabled, extension limit on:
CreateCubeTexture failed(8007000E) crash on map load
Scenario 5:
nVidia 258.96 drivers, KF render device "Direct 3D 9.0", paging file disabled, extension limit off:
successful map load and game play
Observation:
The paging file is a red herring. The virtual memory error is caused by the extension limit off setting in certain scenarios. Even with 32GB pagefile I would receive the virtual memory error. Secondly, extension limit on is definitely for compatibility, and maybe helps some people with certain versions of driver/D3D.
http://www.tweakguides.com/NVFORCE_6.html said:
Forcing render device "Direct 3D 9.0" from within KF display options probably solves these crashes for most people, without the need to adjust display drivers. For example, I didn't require extension limit on with Direct 3D 9.0 rendering and nVidia 258.96 drivers.
I hope this info helps. Thank you for the map!
