Only if you have preordered it though. And I'll bet it's highly encrypted. Anyone who can provide the files and/or crack them would be great. Can someone confirm if you can preload it with cracked STEAM?
Bara om du har förbeställt det dock. Och jag tror det är krypterat. Om någon kunde ge mig filerna och/eller cracka dem skulle det varit bra. Kan någon bekräfta om du kan preloada det med ett crackat STEAM?

No, gcf files contain all the data. NCF files have a common folder.
Normally Valve used gcf files for all source engine based games.

Tried to pre-load the game, but "The Steam servers are currently too busy blah blah blah..."The only 2 possible reasons I can think of why they quitted using .gcf is maybe because of possible compatibility problems with XBOX 360's players or because they just wanted to change everything with the new launch. Let's just wait and find why they changed this.

How I tab this thread with the "[INFO]" heading like the double thread? ON-TOPIC: I used the SMD 2.0 patcher when I tried to Pre-load. I'll try with the Undead patcher now.

Let's just wait and find why they changed this. The Orangebox was on XBOX360 too  I think maintaining & updating GCF´s may became too much work & since GCF´s aren´t really safe from cracking anymore it makes sense to store the files "blank". Also it´ll boost up performance since steam doesn´t need to "stream" (encrypt) the files on the fly anymore. that leeched alot of actuall needed processor power, since VALVE obviously never tried to tweak this. _________________ -> The::Devs <-

Oh, you're right. Well, I hope this change is for good, and not for the opposite. Diablo wrote: Downloading with Cafe account is working. How did you get that Cafe account? Please, upload the .ncf of the L4D files so we can try to download it too.  -- Today, 05:48 -- Ok, good news. I'm downloading the file "left 4 dead base.ncf" (2.61 GB) with CFToolbox 1.0.9. I hope I can download the rest of the files with the cracked Steam when this one finishes. I'll let you know as soon as I try it.
