Alien Swarm (Non-Steam) don't need steam to play

alien swarm, without the failure of steam. i know this game is already free as is and can be downloaded through steam, but to be honest i really hate steam and so do so many others, so why the hell should we only be able to play such a fun game on steam? there's no reason for this!!!! Mount Install play (no copying cracks, no serials needed, or any of that) GAME DESCRIPTION: control 1 of 4 characters and switch between them while lurking around in what looks like a factory or maybe an underground base of some-sort. shoot aliens, use your special skills to open doors, heal, or other. ALSO DON'T FORGET TO SNAG A COPY OF MY ONLINE PLAYABLE TORRENT OF Land of the Dead ENJOY AND SEED!!!!!

Hey when i go to offline practice it loads all the way and then closes swarm.

@AeonwOw perhaps your pc can't handle the game? other than that i have no idea. try looking it up on canirunit . com that site will tell you if your pc can or can't handle a certain game.

I run the game with the "Alien Swarm No-Steam" shortcut on desktop, then go to Offline play > Select Squad and Level 1 loads, and it plays ok. But is there a way that I can select other levels? Sorry if this seems like a noob question but I just can't seem to select other levels.

This release does not run for me with the provided nosteam shortcut.
It only gives me an errormessage stating that revLoader has crashed.
The regular game starts, but then ofc can't be played since it complains about Steam.
I tried lots of crap, googled the revLoader since I had no experience with it.
Eventually I just started looking all over the place and saw the rev.ini, modified it so that all paths were correct and with the right Big and small letters for filenames etc.
Then started the revLoader.exe only, without the .bat-files or shortcuts.
That worked.
Thanks for the upload, I just feel sorry for the less debugging kind of downloader. ;)
I'm using Win7 64bit if it matters.

Worked great for me (offline) with the "Alien Swarm.Bat" file in the game directory.

I get an engine error "couldnt allocate any server IP port, tried 2 adresses". Pretty sure this is something to do with my computers internet settings but I dont know how to fix it.
Any ideas?

Sploder (2011-11-07)

Ok never mind, I thought I'd told my firewall to let it through but I guess it had other ideas. Problem solved. Thanks to all who tried to help!

It works, if it freezes sometimes move your mouse and wait for few seconds. Haven't tried online, but offline works, too bad there is no campaign and storyline, only random missions.

@joel.westerlund
I am using win7 x64 as well and have the same problem as you did. not sure where to change the paths you suggested in the .ini file.
A detailed solution would be appriciated.
Thanks!
