Server Config Information

Default LinuxGSM installs have configSubDir=servername set in the command line which will set your priority config files to be in /home/user/serverfiles/KFGame/Config/kf2server directory, use these files to change settings on your server.

Workshop Content

Killing Floor 2 supports Steam Workshop.

High disk IO using Steam Workshop

As of March 2020 Killing Floor 2 will check workshop files at server start and when map changes occur.

There is a potential problem with Killing Floor 2 servers using the steam workshop that causes server disk usage to constantly read/write at 100% and could damage hardware.

To avoid this problem keep the amount of workshop content as low as possible. It is possible to convert workshop files to fastdl by downloading them off of the steam workshop and putting them on your own server. However, fastdl is not officially supported by Tripwire and files are not compressed, which increases download times.

Disk IO can be monitored with the ioptop command.
