is there any way to get this work over LAN? this could be alot of fun, but theres no way all my friends would buy it.

maybe Hamachi

I completed singleplayer 3 times.
Offical demo release date is 11th november.. so it's good to preload and you can play when it's offically released ;).

cant get this 1 to work..

Nikoza (2008-11-08)

Here is proof that it works for me..

Nikoza (2008-11-08)

Did you click left4dead.exe in that demo folder?
\Steam\.SteamApps\.*user*\.left 4 dead demo

In the installing procedure, NOD32 finds 2 Win32 Trojans!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nikoza (2008-11-08)

Hmm weird.. i haven't found anything with Avast!

Darkshiv (2008-11-08)

I've extracted to my steam\steamapps\*user*.
I go into the demo folder, click the exe and all it does is send me to the Left 4 Dead pre-order page.
Any help?

Nikoza (2008-11-08)

In steam it says "Pre-load complete" but it still should work (with .exe), i have same files what i uploaded and they work :o.

dbgtrgr (2008-11-09)

Just copying the files of steam games doesn't work, steam validates every steam game that is run. I'ma try it with pacsteam and see how it works

dbgtrgr (2008-11-09)

Nope, can't even load it in pacsteam without the GCF. Don't download this torrent, it's useless ;\

zobertson (2008-11-09)

I concur, I cannot get this shite to run either. LAME!

zobertson (2008-11-09)

Perhaps I am being a noob, but after unzipping (to a random directory) and opening the left4dead.exe, I get an Application load error and that's it.

zobertson (2008-11-09)

So if someone who has gotten the demo to work could post EXACTLY how they did so, a lot of us would really appreciate it.

start hl2.exe with -game left4dead

SrU Claytonian (2008-11-09)

Don't use PacSteam. PacSteam is shit. If you're going to use cracked Steam, at least register at cs.rin.ru and get a good cracked Steam from there. I recommend d4steam.

create a shortcut and add -applaunch 530 in property or whatever it's called, dunno if it is 530 for everyone but it is to me, i got a textfile which told me what it was
SteamApps\*username*\left 4 dead demo\left4dead.exe" -applaunch 530

zobertson (2008-11-09)

ok i did as told. Didn't work. When I click the shortcut with the added property it takes me to a steam page to purchase left 4 dead but will not let me play it. When I use HL2.exe with the added
"-game left4dead" property it doesn't work at all (I get a windows error saying HL2.exe has stopped working). Any advice?

PistolKid (2008-11-09)

I did everything suggested, nothing worked.
I did the "left4dead" -applaunch 530, but it takes me to the Left 4 Dead demo page. Help would be appreciated.

monster91 (2008-11-09)

coop online??

Gooden (2008-11-09)

i think u must be logged in to steam before you do launch it and as i said not sure if 530 will work for everyone
this torrent is not broken though

aziel666 (2008-11-09)

USE THE LEFT 4 DEAD .bat file NOT the .exe you noobs... that will atleast let you run/play the game

aziel666 (2008-11-09)

GREAT game by the way .... just a tip, SHOOT the car that has its car alarm on ;).......10,000 zombies show up !!!

Gooden (2008-11-09)

i didn't get a .bat file but my way worked anyway so i don't care

pen04 (2008-11-09)

Guys, its really simple. I just created a SteamApps folder outside of steam, for fear of getting banned for this.
Then I created a FAKE user folder in the SteamApps folder,
and then i just copied the hl2.exe from another game into the Left 4 dead demo folder, and put -game left4dead a space away from the last quotation in the target box.
Then just click the short cut, and wallah.'
great game by the way.

pen04 (2008-11-09)

ACH i made an error. Make a SHORTCUT of the hl2.exe and put the whole -game left4dead thing.
:D
