KF2 Running With Insanely Low FPS

[Andriot]

Firstly, let me get the humble brag part out of the way, I can run GTAV on ultra. My laptop is up to scratch, details below:

Intel Core i7-4700HQ CPU @2.4GHz (8CPUs)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M
12 Gigs of RAM

I'm fairly sure it's not a system requirement issue. When I take a look at task manager CPU usage is at measly 20%. Apologies if there are already ways past this and I know the game is in early access so I expected some hiccups.

Any help getting the game running at a playable FPS would be much appreciated because at the moment it runs at around 10 even on the lowest settings in the lowest resolution I'm willing to go to.

Same here

Same here

I actually have the same GPU and CPU, just with 4 less Gb of RAM.

Having the same issue here, the fan doesen't make any noise, with other games like csgo it does (sorry for bad english)

I'm having the same issue, getting 6-10 FPS both in the menu and ingame. During the loading screen it goes up to like 30-40 FPS, and then goes back down again. Its completely unplayable

Hey guys! I've found the fix to my specific problem, atleast.

The problem I was having was the game was running off my integrated graphics instead of my actual GPU. Here's a step-by-step for Nvidia users:

1. Open Nvidia control panel from your start menu

2. Go into the "Manage 3D Settings" tab

3. Next to select "Select a program to customise", click Add

4. Find the killing floor 2 exe, it will either be in the recently opened tab or steamapps/common/killingfloor2/Binaries/Win64

5. Add the game, under the "preferred graphics processor" menu select "High-performance NVIDIA processor"

This should force the game to use your actual GPU rather than the integrated one!

Fixed! Go into the Nvidia control panel, add the Killing floor 2 exe under 3d management and force the game to use your nividia GPU instead of your integrated one.

Thats brilliant! From 6 fps, to 60 fps! Worked like a charm, thanks for sharing.
