KF startup problems (yep another)

[damianpl]

I'm aware of many threads on this issue, I read many of them over here and on Steam forums, but really nothing helped, I can't play my game it's just crashing at start

I changed KillingFloor.ini in many ways posted here and there, delete it, delete whole catalogs (System and Maps) re upload game/catalogs from different locations on Steam, try to start the game as an administrator or with WinXP compatibility, nothing helped.

Through changes many errors appeared, right now it is

just one question first. have you reinstalled killing floor? I bet that would be the smartest thing to do if you have been kidding around in the folders and stuff.


Lol, Could not load Circus_flespound. sounds like you haven't updated ur game. since we do not have circus event anymore.

I would recommend to reinstall your game and check its up to date version.

Version is now: 1025



Or if you not feeling for reinstalling, try updating the game and do the "next thing"

Spoiler!

Note to myself:

Critical: Could not spawn a GUI Controller!
Critical: Windows GetLastError: Operacja ukoczona pomylnie. (0)

Critical: UGameEngine::Init
Critical: InitEngine
Critical: FMallocWindows::Free

_________________________________________________________
"Next thing"

Could not spawn GUI controller

The fix would be:

Open your killingfloor.ini and find:



[Engine.Engine]


then, make sure that RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice does NOT have a ; before it.

The section should look like


RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice

Yes, I tried to reinstall it, didn't help.

I guess my game is up to date, I purchased it just recently and no upgrades occurred since then (my Steam is checking for updates).

My killingfloor.ini part is just like your proposition, still doesn't work

Now I will try to reinstall Steam and game once more, I have no more ideas

 

[Blockbot]

NOTE, if u reinstall steam you it deletes all ur games!!

 

[damianpl]

I reinstalled Steam (into another location), reinstalled the game, had some issues with servers not wanting to load (but managed to deal with it on my own) and it works now

P.S. Strange thing, now after reinstalling Steam, the game's package during downloading was smaller (about 400MB).

 

[Blockbot]

maybe because you first downloaded the game in the summer event?

Good to hear that it works
