Guys, I tried this method, and game starts, however. occasionally I get windows error sound, and it closes. Then other times it just... well, closes in game. Any work arounds?

Does this works with Akella's release?

Yes.

Banshou with this method you only use original files directly from steam. So if you got problem it maybe game's fault.

Yes, I used original files. So perhaps we should wait for another new update?

I actually set my date to November 29th, and I got towards the end of the 2nd map (streets) of first campaign, and I gave him the Coke, but then the thing exploded big-time, and it crashed RIGHT then. Could it be my graphic settings?

Then you're missing a registry key.

Left 4 Dead 2 Proper (No Cracked Files Are Used)

New Method

I used a new method to crack properly Left 4 Dead 2 and with the help of many users from the forum it worked!
The advantages from my previous method is that you can use the .gcf files from the forum to update the game when a new version is out! (It works with the newest v2.0.0.1). Also with this method you won't use any cracked files or loaders. Only SteamUP to pass the Steam validation.

So here are the steps:

1. You must have:
a) Steam
b) SteamUP (Download it from http://www.mediafire.com/?axmzyyvvkmm and extract it to Steam directory)
c) CF Toolbox (Download it from http://www.mediafire.com/?t00zabzmmmi. Read the manual from http://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=49884 if you don't know how to use it)
d) A clean installation of L4D2 Razor1911 release without applying the included razor patch (Akella's release will also work).
e) The .ncf files (Download it from http://www.mediafire.com/?n2mm0nn3ydd and extract it to "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\")

2. Open CF Toolbox (Remember to configure the Accounts and Folders on the Preferences tab). On the first tab you will see the .ncf files. Right click on them, select Correct and wait for the correction to be done.

3. Move all the content from L4D2(Razor1911 release, except the 2 razor patches) to "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\".

4. Now, go back to CF Toolbox. If there is a new version of L4D2 the .ncf files will say outdated. To download the latest updates, go to this topic http://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=54118 and download the patches you need. For example, when I was writing those lines, my "left 4 dead 2 common.ncf" file was version 4 and "left 4 dead 2 client.ncf" was version 1, so I downloaded the "left 4 dead 2 common.4_to_6.update.gcf" and "left 4 dead 2 client.1_to_2.update.gcf" patches. To apply the update right click on .ncf files, Patches -> Apply update and select the patch. After that Correct the files again.

5. Right click on "left 4 dead 2 common.ncf" and select Download -> Resume until is 100% done.

6. Now, close the CF Toolbox and open "C:\Program Files\Steam\Launcher.exe" (This is SteamUP which is needed to be running everytime you want to play L4D2).

7. Create a desktop shorcut of "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2.exe".

8. Finally, right click on the shorcut and on the Target, after the ...\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2.exe" write +sv_lan 1 +sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 (example: "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2.exe" +sv_lan 1 +sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0). Launch the shorcut and you are DONE!

9. When a new L4D2 version is out just do the Step 4.

10. If you want to play on Garena, you just join a room, open settings, on the executable you put the C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2.exe
Below on the bootstrap you put +sv_lan 1 +sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0

And if you think that I'm lying and didn't test it, here's the proof



I hope it works and to you.




Old Method

I have also here the old method because lots of guys are using the old version to host games.

1. You must have installed on your PC the Steam and a clean installation of Left 4 Dead 2 by Razor1911 (Akella release also works) without applying the Razor Patch!!!

2. Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?ztmieyzzzym

3. There are 5 files inside. Extract the server.dll and the client.dll from the .zip to \Left 4 Dead 2(Razor Installation)\left4dead2\bin (No to \Left 4 Dead 2(Razor Installation\bin\!!!!).

4. Copy the other 3 files to Steam directory (\Program Files\Steam\).

5. Now, open launcher.exe from Steam directory and log in.

6. Create a desktop shorcut of left4dead2.exe from "Left 4 Dead 2(Razor Installation)" directory.

7. Finally, right click on the shorcut and on the Target, after the ...\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2.exe" write +sv_lan 1 +sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 (example: "C:\Program Files\Steam\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2.exe" +sv_lan 1 +sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0). Launch the shorcut and enjoy

8. If you want to play on Garena, you just join a room, open settings, on the executable you put the left4dead.exe, below on the bootstrap you put +sv_lan 1 +sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 and then you press Start Game.
