Im off all week except tuesday night! Anyone up for playing left4dead in the evenings?
-
I am sure Petch, Curse and I would be down. Shadow, zx2slow and rinso have played... We could get a full VS going.
-
I would, but I need to work out what the hell is going on with my vid card. L4D had a normal good framerate but ever since I updated my bios on my 8800gt it lags every so often for up to 5 seconds. Not sure if it's the bios or the new drivers. I'll roll back my driver tonight at some point. This ONLY happens in L4D.
-
this game can be downloaded from steam? i have not use steam for a long time. is it still 50? actually just answered my own question. it is 37. maybe i will download it tonight.
-
I'll finally be getting L4D this Friday (last day of the Steam Holiday Sale, BTW) so all you bastages can stop asking me to play and me having to say no again and again and again and again....Yeah, I'm talking about you Petch ;)

I'm still working on getting the server up and working Dave. I mean it works but when I set it up to only steam groups, tibs couldn't connect. That's why he asked u about the group id Mark (not sure if u knew I was working on it or not). I'm going to try to get it going tonight but its been tough since I don't have the game as well. Hopefully I can get the steamgroup setup right along with a reserve list to autokick ppl for fites players (that's the plan at least)

nice phone! yea let m eknow how it goes. I know some of the guys have been playing on public servers the past week or so.
-
Is there really a reason to run a ded serv for l4d? That is how I usually host a game. Steam sets up ded servs on their network for steam users (well l4d users) to host dedicated servers for either private or public servers.
EDIT: Unless you want it for the big lans, which after I read yer post twice I figured that's what you mean.
-
hmmm thats a good point maybe we should forget that dedicated server for now then. I didn't know how they did it on the steam servers.
-
Well, like I said, if we wanted to play at a LAN we may need a dedicated since we won't have internet...even if we did, having 8 people trying to log into a steam ded serv is enough to kill any cable connection let alone 150 people trying. But we could just host the server on the machine that we play from.

Try setting 'mat_queue_mode 0' in the console, mine was doing the same thing, its your proc not the video card causing that issue.
Also I'm off until Wednesday and am good to go if you guys wanna play.

how about tonight around 9pm. L4Dead

I am game.

we just played a quick round with me Kevin, Ogar and Zx2slow. it was cool but the built in voice chat sux. tonight we gonna use agents TS server instead.
-
Yeah the left4dead was mainly for lan not really internet. But still setting one up to work automatically with fites steam group is pretty cool idea I thought

I'll try that, but it just started happening after I updated my gfx card bios (and drivers).

I have other obligations I have to tend to, I can't buy every game that comes out. That's why my PC is 4+ years old!
-

-

-

I hate mic issues. I am down for tonight.
-
My damn TV tuner card was acting as the input device so no sound, I got that fixed up.
-
Well I guess you could of yelled at it loud enough and it might have worked. lol

Its impossible to get 4 people to go through a campaign in expert.

Yeah it seems impossible, unless you have awesome teamwork or move at a slow pace. You will die in a matter of minutes.

same thing happened to me last night. but i think i fixed it
-
Hey thanks Zx! That worked like a charm!
My comrade has the same prob and that fix works but where can I put that value to have it executed each time the game runs? As it stands, I need to run it each time he starts the game. I tried config.cfg but it was removed after the comp was restarted.
-
I have tried putting it into the steam link and cfg files to no avail. It still lags real bad if I forget to type it in at the beginning of my session. Any light shed would be appreciated.
-
Is there a way to add it as a command-line option to the shortcut that launches the game?

Hmm. I`ll give it a whirl.

That's what Mark told me to do and I did add it, but it seems like I still have to type it in the console when I start playing as I still get the bad lag if I don't.
