Here you'll learn how to connect to your Killing Floor 2 server and set it up.
Connecting
- Start the server on the server page with Start.
- Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
- Search for your server name in the in-game server browser, or connect directly using the address (IP:Port) at the top of your server page.
Important settings
- Server name (
SERVER_NAME) – the name in the server browser. - Map (
MAP_NAME) – the map on start, e.g. kf-bioticslab. - Difficulty (
DIFFICULTY) – 0 = Normal, 1 = Hard, 2 = Suicidal, 3 = Hell on Earth. - Admin password (
ADMIN_PASS) – for admin rights.
You'll find further settings in the Files tab in KFGame/Config/LinuxServer-KFGame.ini, and the web admin settings in KFGame/Config/KFWeb.ini.
Changes to the Startup variables take effect on the next restart.
Good to know
- The admin password (
ADMIN_PASS) is generated automatically by the portal during setup. It is shown once at the top of the server page – please make a note of it. You can change it in the Startup variables tab. - On first start, the server downloads the game files. This can take a few minutes – please don't interrupt it.
