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

Killing Floor 3 may have launched in an iffy state (check out our review for more details), but alongside new content, Tripwire Interactive is committed to improvements. Its latest hotfix goes live today and provides improved stability for servers and players in “a variety of scenarios.”

Issues with voice-over IP chat resulting from changes to privacy settings or players joining late have also been resolved. Gameplay-wise, late-joiners should now spawn in with the correct chosen weapon instead of a custom starter, and additional feedback has been added when crafting weapon mods.

Shadows should also no longer incorrectly appear around Zed limbs and chunks. Tripwire has confirmed another patch for next week, which will address performance spikes, matchmaking issues, incorrect ammo consumption, and much more.

Killing Floor 3 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Its first major content update, Rearmament, will arrive sometime this year and offers numerous quality-of-life changes, including decoupling Specialists from Perks. Head here for more details.
