[-]March 25, 2009 - Left 4 Dead Update Released


Updates to Left 4 Dead have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Game and client changes

• Introduced fatigue to the melee attack in versus mode. You will see a HUD display when your melee swing is cooling down
• Boomer vomit will now pass through common infected
• Addressed some surround sound detection issues
• Fixed a rare crash when exiting Left4Dead on Windows Vista
• Fixed a case where the complete all expert campaigns achievement was not being rewarded

Dedicated server changes

• Corrected an issue where Windows based dedicated were sending spurious shutdown notifications to the master causing them to delist temporarily
• Fixed dedicated servers not resetting the versus team swap correctly--you could join a dedicated server that had a previous game that was swapped and arrive on the other team than what was selected in the lobby
• Renamed the tags for sv_search_key to use "key:" in the server tags instead of "sv_search_key." This should help with issues of the 63 character limit of server tags
• Fixed an occasional server crash related to voting

seems only the fatgue thing will make much difference. a good difference tho
good tho that they are still pushing forward with stuff...

the games evolved a bit since its release, but i still wish theyd return the random tanks/witches back to how it was

couldn't agree more. still makes me angry

i thought the boomer vomit already went through the common infected. hmmm, may be why i didn't get no zombies when i thought i hit em!!!

Looks like a fairly good update.

i have to say ive found L4D to be very boring. KInda annoyed i paid so much for it,. Cant say this upddate adds any excitement to it for me

sucks to be you ;p

never played with you so i can see why you find it so boring.............

I think its one of those games where it will suck if the games goes badly for your team
its been aroun dlong enough to mean that teams can be quite rehearsed and lethal at the game
i think if you stick with it you'd see the subtle qualities it has, but if you just play the odd casual game then it would be a big fat suckfest

the game can suck really bad if you are on a very bad team, but after you get as good as me, and maybe some others, it starts to be rather enjoyable

I would have stopped playing the game long ago if I was only playing with randoms I didn't know. I'm not sure if that's the case with you Lawp, but if you are mostly playing with randoms, I don't blame you for hating it.

or even worse than randoms... =SM= players

true i hate you all and i think it shows...........

its ok to be jealous, most people are.

we only tolerate railes presence here because he's like a clan pet.

Admittedly some sort of mentally retarded gibbering poodle type pet that shits all over the carpets but would make everyone feel bad if we put him down.

and yet i'm not even the worst on the site!
take that website!

dis'greed.

of course the one i was referring to would respond that way.............. 0.o

vista = fail
