I have been trying to host a server to play with only a few of my friends. I clicked on dedicated server and it took me outta da game and showed a text box saying loading server blah blah. Anyone know how to host a server?

Try clicking on "Listen" instead of "Dedicated". You should also set a custom name for your server under "Server Rules" so your friends can find it better.

I hope you read the warning that gets displayed when you click "Host game", though.

That is a server, you're starting a dedicated server and that is the console. Open Killing Floor and connect to it.

If you want to start a normal server start a "Listen" server, not a Dedicated.
