Killing Floor Update Released

[TW]schneidzekk — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:45:48 +0000

A small mandatory update for Killing Floor (Client and server) has been released.

Here are the changes:

Optimized game content to reduce memory usage and improve loading times.
Fixed acheivements that weren’t working, 3 Map Achievements for KF-Bedlam, Dot of Doom, and Mr. Perky. Mr. Perky was appearing as though it had been reset (it was working behind the scenes, but the menu functionality was not working).
Fixed an exploit related to weapon dropping/selling in the Perks system (that people used heavily with the Medic Gun). This exploit could be used to buy a weapon on a discount and give it to someone else that would sell the weapon for a huge profit.
Fixed errors in Perk Descriptions (such as the menu saying the level five Sharpshooter get Dual Handcannons, when he actually gets the Lever Action Rifle)
Fixed exploits in maps Wyre and Bedlam

“Heavy Metal” free content pack coming soon

[TW]schneidzekk — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:52:08 +0000

We are happy to announce details for the upcoming “Heavy Metal” free content pack – the first of many free updates planned for Killing Floor. This adds an all-new map, new weapons and new functionality and will be available to anyone that owns the game.

The new level, entitled “Foundry”, is set in an old iron works which the Horzine Corporation has converted to support their top secret military projects. Exactly what they have been up to here is a matter for conjecture - but before we can send in investigators, your squad has to get in there and clean out the infestation of specimens.

To assist in your task, there are now two new weapons. The first is an old favorite of armed forces the world over: the AK-47. In our case, it has the folding stock, for ease-of-use in close quarters. This one will fit in as a heavier weapon for the Commando Perk and provide extra stopping power over the base Bullpup. The second is a weapon that just about every special-forces soldier in every movie seems to know intimately, for no good reason other than personal interest: the Japanese Katana sword. Just where the squad got hold of it is a mystery, but this piece of Samurai history is just so fitting, such a thing of beauty and such a perfect melee weapon, that we aren’t going to ask too many questions.

In addition to this free update, Tripwire Interactive will be releasing our first paid DLC character pack for Killing Floor very soon. This character pack adds four new playable characters including a Horzine foundry worker and a soldier in prototype Horzine body armor.

[TW]schneidzekk — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:10:11 +0000

A non required update for Killing Floor has been released for both Windows and Linux dedicated servers. This update fixes an issue with perks sometimes not being accumulated on whitelisted maps, and sometimes accumulating on non-whitelisted maps. Additionally, the update adds many more custom maps to the whitelist of maps which will allow perk earning. This update is automatically applied for clients.
