Tripwire Interactive has pushed out the first hotfix for Killing Floor 3. While not a massive overhaul, it tackles a bunch of bugs that were dragging down the shooter’s smoothness. Console and PC players will get a small download to patch up stability and gameplay quirks.
Hotfix 1 dropped on August 6 and is available across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms. If you’ve been running into crashes, voice chat troubles, or weird weapon issues, this patch might help clear things up.
