"How to make sure that your game is Installed Right"

If you do these simple steps shown in the picture underneath. steam will check your killingfloor (or other games) if they have missing files. This usually help fixing random crashes.

____________________________

Sometimes when you joined a odd server. or if you made a wrong selection in the setting in game and the game would start. or anything simiular it would help deleting this file shown in the picture below. (called the Killingfloor.ini) and then do the step above before starting the game!

Root directory for XP:
{drive}:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\system

for Vista:
