I guess I can call this one an Easter Special update for the Spring Event in Killing Floor 2. Updated some of the existing features to be even better and adding few extra goodies that will make gameplay as well as fiddling with INI files more convenient. Happy Easter! đ
Another day, another huge update for the Killing Floor 2 Tweaker. Spend nearly 2 days testing parameters for shadows and finally managed to figure out correct ones (darn you Only Stream-In Textures setting invalidating all other settings when disabled!). Long hours in the early morning paid off after all đ
New features in version 2.1 (2018-02-08)
Dramatically improved Ultra High Quality Shadows feature (smoother shadows edges, higher shadows resolution and higher shadows draw distance)
Removed old âSmooth Framerateâ setting under âPerformanceâ section and replaced it with full separate controls for it
Redesigned RESTORE DEFAULTS once again, making it faster to use and more granular on a single settings page
RESTORE DEFAULTS doesnât touch INI files that are not in any way manipulated by KF2 Tweaker (except RESET ALL option)
Improved 3D Audio settings
Updated settings descriptions
Minor bug fixes
Recommended to reset âEngine Settingsâ and âGame System Settingsâ and re-apply tweaks again due to significant changes in KF2 Tweaker. Not doing so may leave certain tweaks unchanged âin the backgroundâ without controls to change them back.
Ultra High Quality Shadows showcase
When Ultra High Quality Shadows feature is enabled, Killing Floor 2 Tweaker sets shadows parameters beyond normal Ultra preset selectable within game settings, making shadow edges dramatically smoother, shadows are more detailed and are rendered significantly further away from player’s point of view. Not only that, distant lower quality shadows now have more details which makes transition between distant lower quality shadows and closer detailed shadows less visible. Performance difference in my tests on GTX 1080Ti are insignificant, but may affect lower end graphic cards slightly.

It has been a while since my last update. Have dropped a small update yesterday and decided to dig into Killing Floor 2 settings files again. And found quite few new gems. So many of them in fact that I’ve decided to skip few minor versions and release 2.0 because there are so many new things. A lot of them performance related, some of them visual quality related. I’ve also entirely redesigned the “Restore Defaults” feature which is now more reliable and easy to use since it properly resets the game settings and gives you the control to keep or also reset keybinds (game controls).
New features in version 2.0 (2018-01-23)
Removed both of old âRestore Defaultsâ features because many settings donât have absolute defaults, but depend on system youâre running KF2 on.
Added separate âRestore Keybinds Defaultsâ option to only reset keybinds to game default.
Added new âRestore Defaultsâ which resets all settings back to your system defaults except keybinds.
Added âSmooth Framerateâ toggle
Added âInstanced Renderingâ toggle
Added âCompute Bloom and SSAOâ toggle
Added âCombine Similar Mappingsâ toggle
Added âSystem Memory Usage (RAM)â allowing you to dedicate more system memory (RAM) to KF2.
Updated many settings descriptions
Minor bug fixes

That day has finally arrived! Killing Floor 2 was released minutes ago on PC and PS4 platforms. I’ve been playing it on PC since its inception through Early Access on Steam and it has been an exciting experience since day one. You can read more about my impressions back then here. And I can assure you, despite quite a lot of changes that happened since then, they are majorly for the better. The game looks amazing, can run well even on more basic systems and most of all, it’s so exciting and fun, servers are well populated through entire day and things will get even better now that it’s officially released. During release time, there is also a 25% launch discount, so grab it while it’s still hot đ
I’ve also created a tweak tool called Killing Floor 2 Tweaker for this game that allows you to fiddle with few otherwise hidden settings and parameters like adjusting amount of permanent gore (how much corpses and gibs are hanging around as you lay death upon Zeds), adjust sound settings, texture streaming, mouse behavior like mouse acceleration and scaling etc.
What are you still waiting? Grab the game and see you on the battlefield! Lets show those Zeds what’s what!
