The PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 has been patched. Just fire up Steam and it’ll fix and update a slew of issues. Got a bug? Maybe it’s covered in this, check the jump for more.
Highlights of the fix include:
• Fixed performance problem when rendering lots of decals, notably when fighting tanks with shotguns
• Fixed rcon response not working on Linux dedicated servers
• Fixed matchmaking problem matching into Advanced and Expert games
• Fix bug that would cause other specials to try to pummel a player a Charger disconnects or reconnects
• Fixed versus mode results panel being cut off in transition stats screen in non-english
• Found games: fixed non-player entries drawing the wrong type of icon in the selected item name label
• Game mode selector on main menu now takes keyboard input
There’s more via Steam.

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 4:59 PMThere was a crack for that? Nice work.

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 5:31 PMNo, it hasn’t disabled the crack (which wasn’t a crack, you just changed a single number in two files). It just rewrote it. You can just open the files again and change it back.

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 9:57 PMHahaha. Just reading this it is quite plain to see that the “patched” version simply includes a couple of files that have “No_Blood_or_Gore=1″
Wasn’t it very similar to what Crysis did to prevent Very High graphics on Direct X 9?

Monday, November 23, 2009 at 12:20 PMI get that alot, by the way I’m still running uncensored glory (preordered with a US ip).
By the way the other day I ran into a witch that wouldn’t die, we played with it for a bit but then it killed two people and I barely made it to the saferoom alone.

Monday, November 23, 2009 at 1:04 AMThere’s a fix? Looks like I haven’t been looking hard enough.

Monday, November 23, 2009 at 9:02 AMThat’s all well and good, but could they see their way clear to patching the Crash Course DLC achievements on the 360 at all? Still glitched this long after release.

Monday, November 23, 2009 at 9:58 AMJust for those here who still dont know how to unlock it go to \steamapps\common\left4dead2\left4dead2\ and go into steam.inf and change 590 to 510. Then run the exe inside the first left4dead2 folder (if your on vista/win7 run as admin)
Khuntza
Monday, November 23, 2009 at 11:13 AMThats not how we’ve been doing it..
change 590 to 510 in \steamapps\common\left4dead2\steam_appid.txt… make read only and run from exe in same folder..
You have to host as you cant connect to dedicated servers and you dont get achievements..

Thursday, December 3, 2009 at 10:40 PMThere is no steam_appid.txt in the left2dead2 folder, it’s only the executable and the icon. And there’s only the steam.txt folder in the next folder down.
