Left 4 Dead patch released, safe rooms are safe

by Dustin Burg on Jan 7th 2009 1:45PM

You'll be pleased to know that on top of the server-side patch, Valve has just released a title update for Left 4 Dead that's a client-side patch for stopping hackers and exploiters. You know, because nobody likes dealing with a dozen witches while in a safe room. Safe rooms are meant to be safe. Valve confirmed with Joystiq that patch not only fixes all the cheats from working online, but also prevents the L4D shenanigans from working on system link.

x x lb rb x x anyone?

you forgot the opening Y

True but thats only to get menu where you need to clear your cache :P not part of the command :)

the patch didn't work at all.. i still see ppl cheating on the elevator.. also you get more tanks..one on each level even if you move fast.. and whats up with allt he medpacks? they everywhere.. is bullshit..

They shouldn't have removed this, they should have just made it a separate type of game. I can see how this might be fun.

Man, that's an old pic. Francis with his luxurious full head of hair.

I was wondering about that. Is that what Francis looked like initially?

Yup, that's what he looked like in early builds of the game. He looks more badass and less leather clad biker now.

Is the generator in front of the elevator in No Mercy fixed?

No its not fixed, its is still very moveable. Oh, look a pun. /me kicks me in nards.

they shouldnt fix it either. they should just allow the survivors to be able to move objects by meleeing them. being able to set traps and block things off temporarily is still fun, but a stalemate or instant win is just cheap.

Is it me or did Francis get a hairpiece?

Fancy. I like patches.

Though.. not sure why they would fix those big people if it was only through system link. Maybe people wanted to play like that?

Over LIVE though, that's good.

great.. I may actually get around to playing this online now..

How's it any different? I never saw anyone cheating like that.

If only my xbox didnt die of the STD known as RRoD the other day.... uuuggghh... the elite only lasted me a year.. Guess I gotta hunt for a Jasper unit now.

RRoD is not contagious.

STD? What the hell were you doing to it?!

The STD was a joke lol, but the RRoD wasnt.... -_-.. Shouldve noticed I still had a launch elite unit.

nice pic!

the only sploit i've run into was when the piano gets moved in front of hte safehouse door...damnit.

Patching via XBL takes longer (and may cost) PC users have the advantage there...look on the steampowered.com forums at the update list. A LOT of things have been fixed on PC clients (for free) while XBL lusers play waiting game. I hate that game.

Yeah, Microsoft takes longer to release the patches. But you don't need to bash the 360 or anything.

ya the ms certification is a good idea but it takes a bit too long.

Either I was playing a glitched game last night, or I discovered something else the patch did. While playing last night, I noticed I couldn't shut the starting rooms safe door, once it had been opened. Before the patch, you couldn't shut the safe room door on Versuses, but you could on campaign.

DLC please - ms points ready to spend here

i dont care about this, all i care is NEW MAPS , MORE MAPS , MORE MAPS , MORE MAPS
im over playing those 2 maps over and overrrr..
valve is taking too much time to keep this game going on , im not even playing anymore ,paid 60 bucks for a game that only have 2 maps online.
SUX.

they really shouldnt have patched this. modding this game was fun for everyone not just the hacker i mean it adds fun to the game. its not like this game is ranked for gods sake

9zHi, men! today I found Britney Spears Nude video :) Enjoy..
