No. This mod is not whitelisted and will de-rank your server. Any XP earned will not be saved.

But I hope that it will be whitelisted - I submitted whitelist request here:

Note: If this is unclear, first read: Dedicated Server Guide (KF2 wiki)[wiki.killingfloor2.com]

1. Open PCServer-KFEngine.ini / LinuxServer-KFEngine.ini.
   
2. Find [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] section and ensure line exists (add if missing):
   
   DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.SteamWorkshopDownload
   (If there are several DownloadManagers then the line above should be the first)
   
3. Add the following string to the [OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.KFWorkshopSteamworks] section (create one if it doesn't exist):
   
   ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=2847465899
4. Start server and wait for mutator download.
   
5. When the download is complete, stop the server.
   
6. Create a file:
   <kf2-server>\KFGame\Config\KFCVC.ini
   with content:
   
   [CVC.CVC] Version=0
7. Add mutator to server start parameters:
   ?Mutator=CVC.Mut
   and start the server.
   
8. Stop the server and configure the mutator (see ⚙️ Setup (KFCVC.ini) below).
   
9. Start the server.

[CVC.StartWaveKickProtection]

• Waves - The number of waves during which a new player has kick protection and cannot start kick vote.
  
• MinLevel - The minimum level that a player needs to have in order to receive protection from a kick after joining the server.

How start wave kick protection works:
When a player joins a server, he is protected from a kick for the specified number of Waves. This keeps the server from being taken over by players, and it also forces current players to play with the new player for at least a little bit before they can kick him. This solves most of the unfair kicks in the game.

Along with receiving the kick protection, the new player loses the ability to start kick vote. This eliminates the ability for new players to remove existing players using kick protection for impunity.

When the player has played the specified number of Waves, he loses the kick protection and gets the opportunity to start kick vote.

The MinLevel parameter specifies an exception to these rules, giving kick protection only to players above or equal the specified level. All players can vote to exclude players with an unsuitable level, regardless of whether they have played enough Waves or not. This allows to remove low-level players without waiting for them to screw up in the game.

✔️ The mutator works with the current version of the game (v1150) and I have implemented everything I planned.
⛔️ Development has stopped: I no longer have the time or motivation to maintain this mod. No further updates or bug fixes are planned.
