Killing Floor Mac Update Released

We’ve been hard at work since we released Killing Floor for the Mac last Wednesday to address the issues that have been discovered since the launch. We’re happy to report that an update has just been released that addresses many of these issues. Here are the changes:

• Fixed windowed mode rendering nothing on some GPUs.
• Fixed screen going blank when player takes damage on some GPUs (ATI X1600, etc).
• Fixed crossbow scope view not rendering on some maps on all GPUs.
• Fixed terrain rendering on systems without GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit (GMA950 GPUs).

 So now all Mac players can experience the Crossbow the way it was meant to be played – with the full 3d scope. Just go into your detail settings and set the scope to one of the 3d options. We will continue to address issues as we find them. Moving forward there are a couple of things we are already working on:

•  Bloom is not supported on the Mac build. Working to get this functionality enabled.
• Performance improvements

The game will automatically update through Steam. If you are in doubt that it has, just exit Steam and restart it.

Killing Floor is now available for the Mac, through Steam. Courtesy of Valve’s SteamPlay, if you buy the game on one platform, it will also be available to you on the other. Killing Floor is the first co-op game available allowing you to play with your friends cross-platform. So, if you are a PC Killing Floor player, with Mac friends – go and tell them to buy it, so they can finally play with you! Available at the Steam Store now…

And to encourage everyone to get the game, it is on sale at 33% off for a little while. What better time to grab a copy of our hit co-op survival-horror Zed-slaying title?
