Since the game is running with the steam backend if you are running more than 1 server per ip you will need to make sure that you have some additional ports open beyond the default kf ports.
How to host killing floor server steam.
Unlike other killing floor 2 server hosting providers we make sure not to overburden our servers that means we maintain an average of only 12 customers per device.
Good news is that you don t have to do it every time.
Save the file into the same directory you extracted steamcmd to before and be sure to save it with a bat extension.
Ok so im trying to host my own kf server but i have no idea which to choose.
With low ms as your killing floor 2 server hosting provider you can play with your friends and fellow community members.
There are 3 maybe 4 ports to open.
You can save the ports once you ve made em.
You can still login with your real steam account but be careful to only enter your steam credentials into a machine that you trust.
You don t actually need to make new rules on windows however i strongly advise you check as they are usually already mad.
Listen or dedicated what im looking to do is host a serever and play on it too.
Double click the batch file and steamcmd should pop up and update itself and then begin downloading the files from the steam servers.
When i try to play dedicated it exits the game and repeats the same messages over and over.
I can see port 7777 is listening and open in the firewall.
To download the killing floor 2 server you do not need to be logged into a steam account that owns killing floor 2.
Should i choose listen instead and try getting my friends to join.
Problem is i can t run both the dedicated server and the regular killing floor a the same time unless i start the dedicated server and then manually kill steam and then start killing floor after that but then the server crashes after 1 full game.
This allows your server to access more cpu cores disk ios and ram.
Where possible we try and work closely with the developers tripwire interactive to provide stable and up to date killing floor 2 servers.
Just login to your router and follow the instructions that pop up when you click host server in killing floor.
It is recommended that you login anonymously.
Steam has returned as have the official servers but i still cant see the server on the lan tab with the default configuration.
Replace the c killingfloor with the directory for the game you created earlier.
