KF 1017: Hotfix Available

[-0-A2ra3L-0-]

Thanks for the update. I won't get to test it until after work, but one question, my client update was only ~250Mb but my server update is a gigabyte.

Are most of the changes server side?

Will be good to finish the farmhouse map. My wifes game crashes constantly on that map, but mine hasn't yet, we have the same specs too so it's very strange that one has trouble and not the other

So just to clarify, the drop rate is meant to be extremely low? Or is it based on calendar time rather than play time?

I would like to know this info as well. One drop in over 20+ games over a several day period. If this is how it is, fine, whatever... but it seems ridiculously low and more of a gimmick than a fully fleshed out "core component" that's supposedly been worked on since conception like one dev pointed out

Damn, I'd update this and try it to see if my game is un-nuked but my window was yesterday!

Yes this issue, quite a dampener on the spirit of the thing old boy!

Fix/change these please!

-You can still doortank with zerkers
-FPs and Scrakes still stay in front of the zerkers not hitting but looking just around.
-Teammates' flashlights are useless and annoying, since the right arm of the player blocks the flashlights
-Husk is still ghost shooting (he fires but there is no projectile and does no damage)
-Husk still cant aim right (in KF1 he could snipe you from 50m, in KF2 he cant even hit from 10m)

-Siren spam
-Some Perk skills are useless
-Bullet sponges (FP!)
-No skill needed in KF2 (no dodge or teamwork needed to win)
-Bosses are too weak and unbalanced (some attacks do like 2 damage (Hans gas) some do like 90 damage ( Hans melee)
-You can dodge all attacks from Scrake ( Gunslinger can just walk backwards, shoot and reload without getting hit)
-Scrake has no range ( misses every hit, if you sprint)
-Nuke still op

-Perks have ammo issues for no reason ( support needs like 60 shots on 6man HoE for a Scrake)
-Some weapons are too weak, some too strong (Microwave gun!)
-worse sound mix than KF1( weapons, zeds, voice)
-fps drops ( when multiple zeds die, the fps drops from 100 to 50)
-blood looks bad on ground (blood pools look same just different size)
-Block/Parry is useless and dont work (I would rather hit the zed one time and stumble him than trying to block/parry)

Also besides this, I just got a crash on Farmhouse with the new hotfix.

From my log:


It cuts off I guess because the game froze up.

****ty Woodpile_M. I'm switching to iWoodstack.

 

[VertigoShutter]

I've been getting a lot of frame drop issues since 1015 came out. Will these issues be fixed for this patch?

 

[®omano]

I just got two item drops of an item I already had in my first single player game (headband - red pattern), so I should have this item three time, but I only have it once in my inventory.

By far the most common startup crash is caused by a bad install which can often be fixed by using the "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" in Steam. If you PM me your ip or the email you used to report the crash I can verify that.

Without modding and external programs throwing weapons and quick heal is not available, thus making using a controller detrimental to the team and survival.

Using a controller in FPS games is always detrimental to the team and survival

These I agree with. There are still a decent handful of perks where 1 is clearly better than the other. All comments on enemies being too weak are probably due to playing on a low difficulty. I think the amount of damage that the zeds do are fine on hoe aside from the husk doing like 70 damage with no armor and Hans melee being OP on all difficulties after berserker came out. Like seriously, I tried a few games of normal just to see if I could get some crate drops fast, and Hans was like 2 shotting people on normal....yet his guns nades and gas all do no damage(as they should because normal is essentially beginner from kf1).

Related to this post, did the Farmhouse door welding thing get fixed? I kept seeing doors welded in the open position, but you couldnt walk through it (doorway was still blocked as if the door was there), but you could shoot through it. So the door was welded open, blocked players and zeds still, but didn't block bullets.

Thanks Tripwire, now onto playing farmhouse finally
Though I would also like to know if the item drops are actually working at all, and if so, what about the drop rates?

Btw, I haven't had a single crash on Farm house map. But my graphics settings are on medium, no FLEX, and I reduced ragdolls and decals in game's ini files to improve frame rate. It still drops to around 40 fps in heavy action on that map and most official maps.
Try reducing graphics settings, may be it will prevent crashes

The updates and hotfixes are greatly appreciated, TWI. Looking forward to helping out with the game.

 

[imnrk]

love the new 1911 sound, but farmhouse still crashes :/

 

[LiquidArrow]

Loving the quick updates. Keep them coming!

I do have a question about this update though.

Did it address the issues that all the level designer were having with the new light builds crashing the SDK? Did it fix the packaging issue with SDK as well?

Sorry to hear that. We know of at least one reproducible farmhouse crash that is verified as fixed with this latest update but if you're still crashing make sure that you're sending off any bugsplat errors that you get to help us fix any new crashes that haven't yet been fixed.

I've verified it but no change - I'd do a full reinstall but I don't have my pc with me nor a connection I could download on. A bit useless for helping a bugfix I know, but just chiming in as another person who has it.

• Fixed commando perks adding bonuses to non-commando weapons

Ouch, was that really necessary?
