Im wondering if my gfx card is on its way out. It's an ageing geforce 6800 ultra (4 years of lovely service!) After a few mins of gaming, the film grain effect turns to artifacts that are red or green. It's odd though as the more film grain effect I add the more of these square pixels appear which suggests it isn't an artifact generated by gfx card failure as such but the inability of the card to render the effect correctly.
Any ideas?

^^Try verifying the game cache and turning the grain off in the graphics options, also change settings to between medium and low and see if that helps (if you haven't already).

cheers- if I turn grain off it disappears totally but will verify and see what that does.
/edit- disabling grain does not get rid totally. Here is an example:

are they releasing any more campaigns?
Guys, a couple of quick easy questions 
1. how do you take a screen shot in-game? And where are the resulting pics stored (vista)?
2. correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to get the campaign survival achievements, you have to survive the entire campaign without being killed - correct? Just trying to settle a little argument with a pal
Cheers!

F5 to take a screenie, and its saved in screenshots folder in steam/steamapps/common/left4dead or something like that
i dont think you have to survive the entire campaign? i would very much doubt it

You can die as many times as you want, just not on the finale.
Got to escape for it to count.

^^ Yeah it was a good game, just a shame about the open space that infected can't attack from. Valve should have fixed that by now. It doesn't need too much done, just a couple of stacks of luggage or something nearer to it. That way infected can spawn behind it and both the smoker and boomer become useful again!
