***OFFICAL*** Left 4 Dead Thread!

[sharpygsxr]

wayhey just got my mic working with the game so rob et all wll be able to hear my lovely terry woganish tones next time

BTW for Tombo i have a nightmare with getting booted regularly too m8 so your not on your own.

Most of the time i get a error message saying conn timed out, i ussually restart steam but your right in that its something effecting a fair few people.

Even tonight in rob and neildo's game i was gettin booted out again for about the first 4 attemps to join the game, eventually i got in so i could be zombie food for the hordes

Whats the best way of playing with OcUKers? I've joined the group on steam but either the games in progress are full or I got a wierd error about not having a 3rd party mod.

Should I just add people to my friends list or is there a way of finding OcUK group games in the game itself?

It's best to go into Left 4 dead first, then bring up friends, and join that way....

I had the same error message as you, and this method normally works.

Thanks mate, is there any way to add all the OcUK L4D group members to my friends list at once?

 

[peetee]

if you scroll down your friends list you'll have a community list you can expand with everyone already in it, keeps your friends list reserved for actual friends, and then we're all classed as friends within the community

Bloody women left me to fend for myself! pfft

 

[peetee]

anyone fancy a bit o it now?
Im mclaughlin in the community list - red power ranger icon say here or join the community chat room?

[TheOtherOption]

Woop yea didn't notice that till just now - nice one am downloading now too

 

[ins0mn1ac]

Downloading because you know Steam will get utterly hammered for the next few days.

 

[Skeeter]

[-iceblade^]

yeah

Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (Steam and Source), today announced its upcoming zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead, has gone gold and is now pre-loading to those who pre-purchased the game via Steam.

it's at 24% for me...

 

[ins0mn1ac]

yeah

58%! dunno why I'm waiting for it to finish cant exactly play it.

 

[TheOtherOption]

At least we'll be in a position to just play it as soon as it's unlocked - not waiting for the game to install after it arrives

 

[-iceblade^]

lol true...

anyone know if it will unlock on the 18th, or on the 21st? hate how we tend to get games later than the US - CoD WaW only comes out today, and it's only friday by 18 mins so that's no help as we have to wait till shops open

On the 18th, but it'll be at stupid o'clock no doubt!

4.41gb is the dl folder size after the pre-load, pretty small, guess it will grow a chunk after its unlocked..

 

[-iceblade^]

deleted, have proof for that? i'll make sure to prep lots of coffee for that night and ditch lectures the next day rofl.

 

[Revolution6000]

On here; http://store.steampowered.com/news/1945/ it mentions US and Worldwide. And the counter on the actual page is for the 18th, and it's tied to your country.
