Tripwire Interactive has released Hotfix 4 for Killing Floor 3, focusing on stability, performance, and matchmaking improvements. The update addresses backend disconnects, reduces performance spikes during boss battles, and lowers wait times when closing skill videos.
Matchmaking has also been refined to better support large inventories of crafted mods and saved loadouts, now accommodating up to 2000 mods and 90 loadouts. In addition, issues with daily challenges and rewards have been resolved. A scheduled maintenance window accompanied the patch on September 30.
