some of that is the source engine but if you have tf2 or another source game installed then it cuts down the download

Not for me, I have TF2, and its showing 11GB, and its very slow compared to usual steam speed, added to the fact that steam keeps crashing for me :/

Ill be taking my ipad to work tonight to keep an eye on download via LogMeIn.

Well, originally it said for me just under 8gb to download. Came in after a few hours last night to see it had started and had downloaded X amount of 11gb? :confused:

Meh, left it running anyway, be done by the time I get in tonight

Even online?

Single missions are boring because the AI's are retarded and leave you to die!

Whats getting to me is the low frame rate, 30fps at 800x600 (i think?) and no eye candy.

Yet I can play MW2 in Windows Bootcamp with a little better settings...

Go Mac Mini!

Logsi · 7 Oct 2010 at 19:22

L4D has always ran like a bit of a dog for me. Even when i played the first one via windows.

"This game does not support your current graphics processor"

Not amused by this, going to be contacting valve today for either a fix or a refund :mad:
