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

Experts modes insanely hard. Myself and 3 others were having trouble on it last night and had to restart from a save room at least 5 or 6 times, then my game crashed with repeating audio (again). :mad:

Seen a few weird glitches in it, a smoker using its tongue to grab me through a part of the trains wall, also a tank tossing a rock and it somehow hit me when i was on the other side of a concrete wall, even though it never actually came through.
 
Why is it the tanks sometimes just disappear? We were being chased by one last night , it took out three of us, one person got to a safe room and it just hovered round outside for a couple of mins then disappeared.

I'd rather have that happen than whats happened to me twice now; running along minding my own business then a boss character just magically appears out of thin air around 1" from my face.

Tried updating drivers? Or back dating for that matter.

If it's audio have you updated that? Have you tried the processor core affinity thing? posted above somewhere.
 
Far as im aware this suppports quad cpu's. Didn't think messing with cpu affinity would make any difference. Might try updating my sound drivers.

Dunno matey, but you may as well give the below a shot...if it don't work, change it back:

Just incase anyones crashing randomly this works, just slap it in the console it sets the game to single core affinity.

How does the hosting work with this game? You can start a game without needing your own dedicated host running it seems. I've seen it saying "searching for dedicated host" a lot, so does it just look for a third-party server which is empty for the 4 of you to take over?

Pretty much that's it yeah.
 
Meh, I just host it locally...lol.

Normally it goes "sorry, can't find a dedicated server", then asks if I want to do it locally, although I normally just change the setting if I'm hosting it myself.
 
Gerard I posted the fix for your problem in the previous page, as quoted above! :) It doesnt write into the config either afaik so if it doesnt work its no loss.

Edit: it doesnt save gotta type it everytime ;/

People who pre-order on Steam will get a pre-load soon I imagine like we did with Orange Box etc. So it'll be ready downloaded for the release.
 
Only people having some issues have to turn it off....Mine hasen't had any yet.

Mine is only dual core as well, if that makes a difference.
