Searching for survivors.
This is what happens when I try to start the game. It gets suck on the KF Logo and a minimized box of the game pops up. My CPU also goes up to 100% useage.

These processes show up in my taskmanager. The UE3ShaderCompileWorker.exe keeps running after I close KFGame.exe

I have an i5 2500k and a GTX 970 running windows 7 64-bit and I've never experienced this issue until I downloaded the latest hotfix. My drivers are up to date.

How do I fix.

This is the compile shader error and we are looking into it still. For now we recommend you try the items here as workarounds:

http://support.tripwireinteractive.com/KB/View/55-killingfloor-crash--game-exe-has-stopped-working

1) Delete your documents/my games/Killing Floor 2/ folder directory completely
2) Verify Steam cache. Right-click on KF2 in Steam Library > Properties > Local Files > [Verify Integrity]
2.1) For a deeper verification try deleting your steamapps/common/killingfloor2/binaries folder as well as the /KFGame/BrewedPC/ GlobalShaderCache and LocalShaderCache .bin and .upk files before you verify integrity before you verify integrity
