Killing Floor 3 Hotfix Goes Live Today, Improves Voice Chat, Server Stability, and More

Initially, Killing Floor 3 appeared to have some issues at launch (for a comprehensive look, see our review), but Tripwire Interactive is dedicated to enhancing the game. Today, they are releasing a new hotfix that promises better server and player stability across multiple scenarios.

The problems with voice-over IP chats that occurred due to adjustments in privacy settings or players joining after the game had started have been fixed. In terms of gameplay, latecomers will now spawn with their chosen weapon instead of a default one, and there’s more feedback provided when crafting weapon modifications.

It’s important that shadows don’t erroneously show up around Zed’s limbs and sections anymore. Tripwire has verified that they’ll release another update next week, fixing performance surges, matchmaking problems, incorrect ammo usage, and numerous other issues.

The action-packed game “Killing Floor 3” can now be played on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and personal computers. The first significant content update, named Rearmament, is scheduled to release this year. It brings a host of improvements, such as separating Specialists from Perks for a more seamless gaming experience. For further information, please click here.
