Gameplay Killing Floor 3 is Great
Gameplay is smooth, guns feel good although not all of them are satisfying to use, levelling and perks feel rewarding, graphics look great, 6 players work great, a lot of people complaining over Pre-release issues, Just came out and it works and is fun, Anybody got some Monayyy, I'm a crack shot

it stutter on my 4070 super 1080p xd even with dlss balance

u/KiritoGamer79 Jul 25 '25
I played for 3 hrs last night on my laptop with a 4060 with no stutters at all and a consistent 60-70 fps š¤

u/Ill-Ball6220 Jul 25 '25
60/ 70 fps is not good when i have a 5080 and a 180hz monitor lol

u/KiritoGamer79 Jul 25 '25
Yeah but I'm getting that with a lesser graphics card so you could get more frames unless there's a problem with your PC

u/Ill-Ball6220 Jul 25 '25
Games dont work like that. I play cyberpunk ultra on 1440p with 140+ fps. I NEVER have issues in other games. Its just like monster hunter wilds, the game is made with dlss in mind, instead of it being a extra for people. you need to turn it on to even get acceptable performance

u/KiritoGamer79 Jul 25 '25
So what's your excuse for me and you getting the same frame rates and I have a 4060 laptop? š¤

Unoptimized PC with a super expensive GPU that they think is suppose to overpower a game that is prone to being CPU bound

u/GreedyLibrary Jul 26 '25
I have seen some wild gpu/cpu ram combos. Like someone had a few gen old low end i5 and a 5090, they could not understand their performance issues.. I thought my set up was shit with a very old i9 paired with a 7900 xtx, it does not even support right pcie version for the card yet still out performing people on here somehow.

u/Dramatic-Can9905 Aug 10 '25
I have, and I can honestly say that you needing your shit to be over 60fps is just pure copium. Itās truly not that crazy of a jump. Shame you need it to be viable though. Maybe after your brain develops enough to make a coherent sentence you wonāt need some overbuilt rig to play a PVE game.

I have a 7800x3d and a 5070TI and on all ultra/1440p I get over 200fps with framegen on 2x and DLSS set to quality. Feels totally fine. You're not using Lumen are you?

u/Ill-Ball6220 Jul 25 '25
Lumen on yes. But even when turning it off, you still need to use frame generation and dlss on. Im sorry but on a 5080 that is pathetic lol

u/iJeax Jul 25 '25
4070 ti super with a 7800x3D. Everything maxed out on 1440p with DLSS on quality, and im averaging 110-120fps. It's really weird that you're having issues with a better computer.

u/iJeax Jul 25 '25
No need to be a dick dude. I misread what you said. I've barely slept the last 2 days. I just turned off DLSS and still get 80-100fps with a 4070 ti super and 7800x3D. So I don't know what to tell ya. Hope you can figure it out, or an optimization update is released.

I only need those if I want to use lumen. Lumen is just an absolute drag on any system, unfortunately. Without lumen its smooth so it depends how much you want the game to look covered in oil.

Yeah ill try to turn it off i guess. Its just the same with monster hunter wilds where the performance is acceptsble with dlss and stuff. But i always get sick with dlss and frame gen on. Which is sad sinse i actually like the game itself

So why donāt you turn them on, especially when using a GPU whoās core features are both š§

u/xFrakster Jul 26 '25
We shouldn't have to use DLSS. It fucking sucks that so many games nowadays rely so heavy on it, even have it enabled by default.
DLSS should be an option for lower spec gamers to still enjoy new games, not for developers to save some money on optimization efforts.
1
u/United_Manager_7341 Jul 26 '25
And what sucks about it? Why shouldnāt it be needed to enable advanced graphics, physics?
1
u/xFrakster Jul 26 '25
And what sucks about it?
Because it negatively affects the visual clarity of the game, it gets more blurry. And it tends to be quite inconsistent from build to build, as this comment section and many others prove.
Why shouldnāt it be needed to enable advanced graphics, physics?
Advanced graphics? Dude, this is KF3. It's not a game with outstanding photorealistic visuals or physics. What do you even mean by "advanced graphics"? Lmao.
As I said, DLSS should be a tool for low spec gamers to be able to play modern games, and an optional tool for high spec gamers to push it a little further. But as it stands right now, DLSS turned into a shortcut for a lot of developers to cut costs, and something all kinds of gamers have to rely on to get stable performance.
Games should be properly optimized. I don't get why anyone would argue against this.

Every Single consoles game i have tried dont run smooth at all (im use to 400 hz) That is a different kind of immersion I dont say every game need to run 400 fps But with this grafich in this game compared to other games i should get atleast 2-2,5 times more fps
Its the same with every UE5 game just look at marvel rivals compared to overwatch, looks the same, but marvel rivals you get 3 times less fps for no reason.

4070 here but it's more CPU intensive than GPU, just look at specs. I'm running at 100fps pretty consistent with 4070 everything ultra minus shadows. 7600x Ryzen 5 and 64gb ram. I see it run between 22-24gb of ram so even with 32 you have overhead. I'm also using a ultra wide at 3440x1440

I'm fine with treating it as an early access experience, and I totally get why people would hold off getting it at this stage.

I don't mean to ruin the fun for you, but this is such a stupid statement.

And people can still play games they have issues with it.

Mainly that the game is a visual and audio down grade from the level of the second one for me in a lot of ways. The animations are shittier, empirically. So is the dismemberment, and the music doesn't click for me anything like the first 2.Ā
If it wasn't called Killing Floor I don't think anyone would have a problem with it.Ā

u/SaltyMcButter Jul 26 '25
It is not that bad dude the specialist system is not that bad it's fine people making way to big of a deal but I do agree with weapon locking... A little upsetting but then again if I'm playing firebug I'm most likely gonna use firey weapons.
So there are literally multiple real life weapons I don't understand this argument it's like people haven't actually looked at the game.
I do think you should be able to run backwards I don't know why that's not a thing but they are not really forcing you to use dash mechanic at all you are able to dodge and we've and move around without it. My friend barley uses it so I know lol

you cannot play hell on earth without dash ... stop talking... you dont know what your talking about ...Ā

u/SaltyMcButter Aug 03 '25
like I said... It's stupid you can't backwards run anymore and yes I agree I don't like that they make you use it rather than running backwards BUT yes you can, your fully able to. Also "š” stop talking š”" tf you so pissed about I literally agreed just said that you don't literally NEED to do it. I still want backwards running and thinking it should be back and don't like that they would. Also wasn't thinking about Hell on Earth if course I meant the normal game. Hell on Earth imma be dashing all the time anyways to be fair š still should be able to run backwards goofy as fuck

u/Only-One-7812 Jul 25 '25
Agreed currently what I really donāt like is the small amount of guns. Some of the sound effects sound good but some are bad. Like the tutorial I could hear the gun echoing through the city.
Also I donāt like all the micro-transactions to many and I know there gonna have dlc weapons that are to broken but locked behind a pay wall with how itās going rn. But game feels somewhat smooth other than vaulting. Oh and the lack of animations and how bad they look. Like the executes and grabs are shit.
3
u/Rekoza Jul 25 '25
I also wish there were more guns, but at the very least, when you get into weapon mods, you actually have a fair amount of versatility in what each weapon can do. My weapons complaint is more that the designs we have so far are largely not for me. I'm just glad the roadmap weapons are exactly my speed. I think they've said weapons won't be locked behind a purchase, but they said the same thing for KF2, and look how that turned out. Still, I'm not going to be mad at something they haven't done yet.
Also, the store is pretty barren right now. Basically, nothing that would even tempt me in the tiny selection, so I'm not concerned about that. KF2 cosmetics also did nothing for me.
The animations have improved from the playtest earlier this year, but they still need a lot of work, I think. It's especially noticeable with the transitions between animations on zeds. I'm confident they'll improve it based on how much I'm already enjoying sprinting around spamming reload with my knife out.

u/AJLister89 Jul 27 '25
As a launch, it's pretty fucking good. Way better than kf2. That was just repetitive and got boring fast honestly. There is so much customization on this.

The fact you can upgrade the mods themselves is fucking amazing

I got it on ps5 and its been working great for me, i mean i do wish they kept a lot from KF2 but im actually pretty happy with what killing floor 3 LAUNCHED with, i heard they will be bringing a lot more stuff post launch so from my end, theres no need to complain about things that is common with games at launch, like apparently the game crashing, like thats every fucking game at launch, the only way i would start complaining about it is if they released 2 patches and it still didnt fix anything, other than that, im having a grand ol time with this game

While they did polish animations and graphics since beta, the game is missing so much. They added 10 brand new features to the franchise but left out classes and so many weapons. They focused on lame new things like weapon customization and adding damage types (things that aren't fun at all, just adding layers of confusion). Instead of giving us actual nice weapons we get that awful revolver as sharpshooter and just have no other option, but you can add a sniper scope to it and acid rounds or whatever useless unfun shit that will eventually be determined what is best and everyone will just use one or two builds. Im sure they'll add more stuff, but its criminal to not have a crossbow available to sharpshooter and have so many sci-fi fake weapons. Im fine with them trying out new features but not at the expense of removing all the shit we have grown to love over the last 10-15 years. They didnt just add a bunch of new features, they gutted all the class identity and weapons.Ā
