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

Okay, thanks for the quick reply. I wondered if that were the case. Its weird because we used to both play the Battle Grounds 2 Mod at the same time on our 2 PC LAN but using the same Steam account. I figured we may be able to do the same with Left4Dead but maybe its because this is a full retail game?

You could possibly play it in a LAN using offline mode. I'm really not sure though.

This 'might' work.....Not sure how the co-op mode works in L4D though...

Unless you made a game and somehow join it over the LAN, and play that way.....You'll have to search for it on google or something, I'm sure someones tried it :p
 
Fine now, it seems that an update was trying to install as when I restarted Steam it started downloading the update. Just read back through the last few pages; sounds good!
 
First experience of the new update.. baaaaad..

Couldnt find a server for bloody ages..
Found some dodgy server..
Played a few levels (awesomely close games too, and the gameplay updates work great)..
Complete lock up.. hard reset..
Cant rejoin the server..

Probably just a bad string of events. On the plus side, joined OcUK Private 5 at one point and my ping was fine! :eek: Dont want to jinx it though!
 
Steam master servers are borked tonight or something. I couldn't sync my game at start up so I couldn't play it online, then when it finally worked it told me either every game was full or that I lost connection to it before I got in. Earlier we had issues getting 4 people into the same lobby.

Took me about 20 mins to get into a game.
 
Frostednipple is the best bot I ever seen.

Either we played the worst game ever or this update screwed the game up. The score was like 1000 to 800. Both teams only finished first 2 maps and then only half the teams made it. Didn't feel the same to be honest. I've gotten use to 2 hour marathons not 30 minutes of Benny Hill moments.

That sounds better to me to be honest. Part of the reason I've pretty much stopped playing is that it's rare for me to have enough time to finish a game and I don't particularly like leaving half way through.

Just to let you know we tried off-line mode and it wouldn't work. It kept saying session lost. So we tried online mode, created a lobby for local games. The 2nd PC was in off-line mode and found the game in the local lobby, but when connecting it failed with the same session lost message. Oh well, we'll buy a second copy of the game. Thanks for the help anyway, appreciated.
 
OcUK 5 had very long level load times last night, the sort where you expect a 'Session terminated' message. Eventually got there, but was stupidly slow between each level.

Good close game though.
