Important notes:
  • Users who have write protected their KFEngine.ini may run into issues joining servers after this update, and it is recommended that you delete that file and let the game generate a new one if this happens to you.
  • Some users may need to re-add the game to their security software, such as a firewall or antivirus if they have trouble joining or seeing servers after the update
  • Currently there is a known bug where adding a filter to the matchmaking or server browser can hide all valid servers. Please make sure to set filters to default for now
For users still having connection issues after allowing the game through security software, please help us investigate by participating in this thread: https://forums.tripwireinteractive....king-connection-investigation-thread.2336211/

Hi, I am a Steam KF2 player and I run KF2 servers. I have updated the servers and my game for this Epic Games release. I have found several problems starting with the extreme lag when turning in crates and connecting to the servers, the game minimizes at startup when the video is playing, multiple Bug Splats for whatever reason which closes out the game completely. I stopped trying to send in Bug Splats a long time ago because they never sent anything. Also when viewing the player list on the Server Details screen within the game it just lists everyone as "Other Platform Player" There are no real names on the list, but yet they do show up fine while in-game and on the webadmins. This also in turn does not list any of the "Other Platform Players" on GameTracker. Can you please fix these soon? Thanks!
