I have not played killing floor for a long time about a year and realize there have been updates and patches since then.
How to join a listen server killing floor.
If your friend is playing on a dedicated server all you need to do is click the view game info menu item on your friends list and copy the ip for the server.
If you were to double click on the kf2 custom file we just made it should spin up your server with the pretty much the default setup.
2 go to your system folder and create a bat file with the following code.
Should pop up as killing floor 2 server or something generic like that.
1 download a custom map and place it in the maps folder.
Make sure they are open in your router firewall.
The following is a list of ports used by killing floor.
If that doesnt work and it fails to join a friend steam will say server is no responding.
Ever tried joining a killing floor server your friend was on but server was not responding and you could not join at all.
And directed at the host machine s local network ip 7707 udp ip game port 7708 udp ip query port 7717 udp ip gamespy query port 28852 tcp ip and udp allows your server to connect to the master server browser.
This is how i get around it.
Using the killing floor sdk the community can create custom maps for admins to host on their servers.
Admins looking to made changes from the default settings will find most options available in the killingfloor ini or in webadmin once enabled in the killingfloor ini.
Technically we are done.
If this is not done the server will crash when starting.
First you can simply find a server remember the name and tell your friends to join that server by finding the name.
Then in the killing floor game click multiplayer internet games tab right click on background open ip then paste the ip address your friend is on.
Second if you have steam which i think steam is mandatory for kf you can join on your friend via steam s friends list.
Games killing floor killingfloor servers search by server name or ip server current map server variable server tags online player name online offline player name team name or tag profile username profile last name profile email.
These maps can be automatically downloaded by users joining your server with a few easy steps as follows.
From i am finding it s virtually a pain in the ass to host a listen server so your friends can join.
