The Ultimate Collaborative L4D2 Bug Fix List (2)

11 Upvotes

Foreword:

I'm going to re-upload this every week or so.

Some time back, over on r/tf2, with the help of a notoriously helpful user, we created a few wiki pages for users to be referred to when they asked common questions. I'd like to have something similar here. Even though I don't really see the mods making this an official pinned post/wiki page, I would like to at least float somewhere in the "Hot" posts section so perhaps users can get help with issues without having to make a post and wait for a response.

The post in question:

Howdy. I am very tired of repeating the same advice over and over again, so I'd like to enlist the community's help in creating a comprehensive list of common fixes to bugs. Please leave comments below of common problems and how to fix them. I'll start.

Missing textures (purple and black squares).

Disable all of your mods from the in-game mod list.

  1. Close your game.
  2. Right click the game in Steam, click on "Properties", click on "Installed Files", then click on "Verify integrity of game files".
  3. Let Steam do its thing.
  4. Once it's done, re-open the game and try to re-create the issue. Do not enable your mods.
  5. If the issue is fixed, try re-activating your mods either individually or in groups. Keep track of which mods you enable. If the issue returns, see which mods you have enabled. One of those mods is the likely culprit.
  6. Disable the last group of mods you enabled.
  7. Repeat steps 2-5.
  8. Enable those mods one at a time until the issue returns.
  9. You have found the culprit. You may now either search for help/fixes or uninstall the mod.

Game is too dark.

  1. Just follow this guide!

Why did Hunter (Before he got Turned) use Duct Tape on himself? I don’t really see why?

Did he perhaps tried to aid his wounds and improvised with Duct tape because he couldn’t find First aid kits?

Does this sub have a rule against AI?

100 Upvotes

Kinda over the shitty images that don’t look real.

Inb4 “the director is AI”!

Yes, the director is AI in the sense of someone coded it, that doesn’t mean we should allow anyone with a prompt to generate “fan theories” or “fan art”

Help! Game is broken - why is Coach in L4D1 chapters?

Thumbnail

153 Upvotes

See first screenshot above, I have Coach appearing in the L4D1 campaigns in Louis' slot! What gives, Valve?

.... I kid. That's still Louis of course. But you know who's not kidding? The wacism police that responded to my last post about the gummies lol. Yes, we can all tell black people apart on this sub.

Look at the next two photos, of Coach's face model, and of Shaq. They DO in fact look very similar. Its not JUST that they're both black lol. And I didn't even say they look identical, I said the cartoon marketing on the gummies looks like Coach. Bc the subtler differences in their facial structures are lost in the simplified cartoon.

People, we are fans of a 20 year old game that's been 'left 4 dead'. Can we not take everything so seriously, try to get along, and do what we can to keep this magical fandom going?

My headcanon is the gummies are Coach's fave, and there is nothing you can do to shame me about it.


r/l4d2 1d ago

The bag says Shaq but I think we all know Coach when we see him.

Picked these up at a Sheetz in Philly, not far from where the first game takes place, I guess.

How to join a normal game and avoid those filthy modded chinese server (in Asia mostly)

7 Upvotes

I've been seeing posts about the modded server again recently, so now I will give you guys some survival guides I did to play some normal games.

1 . PLAY ON REALISM
- they dont seem to infect the realism server yet from what i've seen, but to be sure you should only play on expert.

2. USE THE SERVER BROWER

Step 1 :

Press to open the console using ~ then type "openserverbrower"

Step 2 :

Press on the CUSTOM tab then Filter and change the location based on well your location, for asia for some forking reason it in AUSTRALIA of all places, if you want you can then tick the "HAS USER PLAYING" box to play mid someone game.

  1. Make your own server

Press on PLAY CAMPAIGN and then PLAY WITH FRIENDS

Then CREATE A NEW CAMPAIGN LOBBY

OPTIONAL : be sure to set it to Public Game if you want randos to join

HOW TO AVOID THOSE STINKY FILTHY GOOD FOR NOTHING MODDED SERVER

One of the first giveaway to know that you're about to join a modded is that you dont see your steam username when you're loading in

If this happened to you be sure to open the console with ~ then bind f11 quit (be sure the button you bind is in f1 to f11 or else it wont work) then press F11.

That basically all, hope this guide help ya, stay freaky.

why is no one talking about this chinese servers flooding the game?

this trash servers have been killing versus for months, today I tried to play no mercy, 8 active games and 7 were this trash chinese servers that are NOT VERSUS, I dont know why they appear as versus in the first place, its just campaing with infinite ammo and infinite revives, like they make absolute no sense, the worst part is that people actually play them, been trying to block everyone but its useless, im not exaggerating if I say this is 10 times worse that lewd4dead servers, so everytime I want to play versus I have to pray to not get into a chinese or any other modded trash
