Killing Floor 2 wont load

[Donut417]

I have Killing Floor 2 installed. This is a fresh install because it refused to load before, plus I moved it to my SSD. For some reason it wont load. Steam shows it as launching then...... nothing happens. The game worked before. The only thing I did after I played last was upgrade my CPU and BIOS.

Verified game cache in steam properties?

 

Updated drivers?

 

Hardware specs?

This steam link had a user who had experienced the same problem as you. Some fixes were provided that might help you. The post is old though. For the first fix,  find the KF.exe file in your steam folder where your games are. Right click, properties,  and check box "run as admin".  Some apps and games might not run without admin privileges. It varies. You can run the game via steam or through the exe file while steam is running.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction with that thread. One of the suggestions was to delete the config file in the My Documents folder for KF2. In the end that worked but for some reason I couldnt delete it because it was linked to one drive. So for any one who find this thread I had to go in to one drive settings and remove that folder from being backed up. I deleted it and it finally ran.
