Tripwire is looking for Killing Floor 2 servers to be turned on “as soon as possible.” Whether they were successful or not will be determined later today as more players jump back on the game. 2) Type in your start menu search 'task scheduler' and Create a new Task. Making it standalone: 1) Type in your start menu search 'lusrmgr.msc', go under 'Users' and create a new user, i called it 'Steam' for example. If it works, it's fine and you may proceed to the next part. Tripwire estimates that by today they will have 50,000 players online, which is almost ten times the original capacity. 4) Now test if your server works by launching the BAT file. The email, which looks to have come from an employee at one of the server companies, is seeking additional servers to be turned up for Killing Floor 2. Unfortunately, servers were only setup to handle around 7,000 players, which has led to some frustration as players are unable to join games due to the strain.
This has led to about 17,000 players jumping onto the game, with more joining them every few hours. The game has sold so well that it bumped the venerable GTA IV off the Steam Top Sellers charts within 15 minutes of becoming available. According to a leaked email from Tripwire Interactive President John Gibson, Killing Floor 2 is selling “like crazy” causing strain on the servers that the team had prepared for launch.
