Mac Killing Floor won't start at all

[sooyoo]

Okay, so i downloaded killing floow, and am currently supposed to be playing it on a guest pass... I thought I'd give it a try to check it works on my system (standard macbook 13"), and a friend bought it and offered me the pass. I got one game in on singleplayer, just to check it ran, so later on the same day i fire it up to try out the multiplayer.
The icon came up in the dock as always, and the splash screen came up, then disappeared, and the game wouldn't run. I tried a few more times, checked the 'launch options', but that was fine. after a lot of googling, i've found people on PC's who've had this issue, and apparently they overcame it by deleting "killing floor.ini"
I searched, but all i have is "killing floor.int" and a couple of other files that end in .ini, i tried deleting some of these seperately, but it didnt help, so i've replaced them.
But i now have NO idea what to do

the error in the log file I think is important is : "Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file"

But i'm no expert, so the whole log file:

Cheers for ANY help possible.

Go to the main killingfloor folder, and delete the system folder of KF.

When that is done verify the integrity of the game cache within steam.

 

[sooyoo]

The whole folder? okaay, just verifying now, cheers...

...Ahhh, did it all, reaquired 134 files, and it still crashes!

 

[Yoshiro]

Your .ini files are located under application support/killingfloor/system. Take out that folder and verify cache.

 

[sooyoo]

I don't have a "Support" folder... maybe cos im on a mac? I don't know, but i have Steam Content>Common>Killingfloor>system
I deleted them and verified, but it still doesnt work

 

[Zetsumei]

delete your ini file as well. Redorchestra.ini in the folder yoshi specified the files are not in your system folder anymore apparantly.

 

[sooyoo]

I don't have redorchestra.ini... maybe this could be the problem? but steam hasnt registered it as missing when i've validated the files...
I installed just killing floor on steam, i dont have red orchestra. When i searched for "redorchestra.ini" it came up with "setup.int", so it must have something to do with redorchestra.ini, but this was in the system folder, and was deleted before...

 

[Zetsumei]

can you search your computer for killingfloor.ini it should be somewhere its probably just hidden on the mac deleting that file should probably fix the issue.

As engine.engine.gameEngine doesn't exist it should be engine.gameengine.

Beside that there is another thing you could try out, open steam go to library right click killingfloor go to properties and click on "set launch options" make sure that its completely empty. And doesn't accidently say engine.engine.gameengine

 

[sooyoo]

This is what comes up when i search for "killingfloor"

Not sure what to delete...

And yep, i've checked that, theres definitely nothing under the launch options.. :/
cheers for the help

 

[Yoshiro]

You shouldn't have a redorchestra.ini file, you don't have red orchestra. In the location I pointed out earlier should be a killingfloor.ini file. Delete it or alternativly the entire system folder at that location and verify cache in steam.

I'll post it again:

Username/library/applicationsupport/killingfloor/system

 

[sooyoo]

ohh i see!
I was in the wrong place, i have another location with Killing floor > system, and it has .int files.
I've found killingfloor.ini, not sure why it didnt come up in spotlight when i searched for it, but i've deleted it, only the Guest Pass has run out now :/
Cheers for the help, i'll have to decide whether i'm going to buy it now, having only played one round on singleplayer :/
Thanks though
