Game crash with message

[M.C.Darkness]

I've been playing Killing Floor since release and I've had no real problems until recently. Now almost everytime I play I get this message.

Build UT2004_Build_[2004-11-11_10.48]

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: AuthenticAMD Unknown processor @ 2213 MHz with 2047MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT (9745)

General protection fault!

History: UD3D9RenderDevice::Unlock <- UViewport::Unlock <- UWindowsViewport::Unlock <- UGameEngine:raw <- UWindowsViewport::Repaint <- UWindowsClient::Tick <- ClientTick <- UGameEngine::Tick <- Level KF-Farm <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Realloc <- 4C576C61 0 FArray <- FArray::Realloc <- 0*2 <- FMallocWindows::Free

Any help is much appreciated.

You could try deleting killingfloor.ini from your Killing Floor system folder.

Strange that you say almost every time.

 

[M.C.Darkness]

I've already tried that unfortunately. I wrote almost every time because it doesn't happen right off the bat, usually after about 5 mins of game time or more.

I thought you meant at the start of the game. You should have said that it happens after the match starts.

Well, did you try this?

Since you can get past the menu, go into Settings > Display and change the Render Device from Direct x 9 to just 'Direct x'

I have a verified way that I can cause this error. Maybe this may help you try to eliminate it althogh since u say you have reinstalled then exact reason has to be different than mine.

Anyways, under steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\system\

there is file called killingfloor.ini

Open this with notepad and look for section: [Engine.GameEngine]

Right under that line there is:
CacheSizeMegs=32 (default I believe), now on my older PC I used to use value as high as 512 or 256 and game ran fine, but on my new machine any value above 32 will cause that same crash and error you get few minutes after running game. So I end up leaving it at 32. Now in your case if its 32 and you get crash try rising that value to 128 or 256 and see if game still crashes after few min. My new PC is quite high end but I do run without page file in windows, whatever worth that info is for. Make sure you also dont use some weird paged file settings in windows.
