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

Multi-core royally borked the demo for me, but the full game works perfectly.

Unusual for Valve to leave something so broken.
 
Bought L4D over the weekend to take advantage of the offer but having a problem with it. Every now and then everything in game just freezes, graphics and sound and this can last anywhere from a second to 3 or 4 seconds. Its also quite intermittent.

I've just upgraded Gfx drivers to 181.22. I'm running at 1680 x 1050 on the spec in sig. I tried knocking some of the Gfx settings down such as AA, AF and shaders but no difference either.

Any ideas?

See above posts buddy...may help.

I had an issue with the game locking up for about 5 seconds at the begining of the round about 3 times or so.
 
Completed that hunter city map over the weekend, then did again in a fraction of the time, it really does improve your multi-pounce skils! And gives great insight into what the huntor can do. I've achieved some great damage pounces since, getting up to much higher areas!

Where is the map out of interest? I wouldn't mind trying it.

EDIT: Just found the link in the thread :)

How do you actually play that map without the survivors starting? I've got the spversus.cfg as well if it of any relation....I can get myself to spawn as a hunter, but where the hells the start? :p

I disabled that, and it fixed one of my issues...but i didnt like the fact i had to disable that option.

So, I put it in borderless window mode, and it worked just the same :) So hey.

Try both options, see which works the best.

Cool, I didn't know that also fixed it.

I didn't like the idea of disabling it either, but the performance drop was either zero or unnoticeable, so I couldn't lose. Doesn't running in windowed drive you nuts?

Definitely is the multi core issue, either disable it in options or try sticking it in window mode.

Nope....because it's borderless....and full screen :p Looks exactly the same as a normal full screen res :)

Cheers. Windowed mode helped a little, but didn't fix it entirely. Disabling multi-core did the trick.
 
Valve needs to sort out L4D's matchmaking process BIG TIME. It is utter **** and almost all my mates can't create lobbys or they get disconnected. Actually just managed to get in a lobby with some friends and I get the crash bug - SO FRUSTRATING AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Could some give a step by step guide on the whole console, typing, lobby thing please?
Maybe have it in the first post of the thread as well?

I just had a random go to test it out, but need to set up my mic and such.

Is voice over steam decent?
 
I have disabled multi processor support in-game and it now runs superbly. The mouse aiming is as smooth, well smoother than most other shooters. All I have to do now is beat that little bugger nephew of mine :D
 
Just starting to get the hang of versus mode, although i suck at it big time :p Been having quite a few good games with fellow ocuk'ers recently. One thing i can't work out though.....how do you start a lobby? I can only seem to either find a game in progress, or join a current lobby, often with an idler in it? It's not causing massive problem but would be nice if i could start my own lobby?

Same here - not sure how to even bring the console up
 
Console:

Go to options and select "enable developer console"

Press tilde (tilde = ` - the key to the left of the "1" key)

Type in "sv_search_key ocuk" (without the quotation marks). Press return.

Make a lobby, invite friends, family, countrymen.

Click "search for server". The lobby will now search for a free ocuk server, rather than a free completely random server.
