Introduction
There are some reasons why you are here, if you are looking for Left 4 Dead 2 full installation instruction to the latest version 2.0.0.1, or you have problems installing the latest l4d2 2.0.0.1 patch, or you need to download the patch, this is where you should be. Fyi, i have 5 copies of steam version of Left 4 Dead 2 which i have bought from steam.
I have had couple of successes installing various version of Left 4 Dead 2. This version is by madwiggly, however just to inform all of you that raz0r’s release are the same. All you need are the patches from Step 2-7. Thanks to CS.RIN.RU which is where i took most of my instructions from, and this is my method, and i hope it helps. (:
Since most of you dont have megaupload account, use jdownloader.org to get your files from rapidshare or megaupload.
Pre-requisites:
Change your System Date to 29 November 2009, actually all dates with sunday works
1. Get Left 4 Dead 2 by Madwiggly (this is version 1.0.0.1) from Torrent, Link #1
2. Double click on Install.reg inside the extracted files (Madwiggly) Left 4 Dead 2 folder or download it here, Link #1 or Link #2
3. Now install Left.4.Dead.2.v2.0.0.1.UNCUT.NON-STEAM.PATCH-NES.rar, Link #1 or Link #2
4. Then install Left 4 dead 2 Update_bugfix_allmode by MadwiggyNLD.rar, Link #1 or Link #2 or Link #3
5. Now you have to patch your existing game from 2.0.0.0 to 2.0.0.1 with this file, L4D2_Update_2.0.0.0_to_2.0.0.1.exe, Link #1 or Link #2
6. Point Garena Settings to launch revLoader.exe or (Left4Dead2.exe) whichever works for you.
7. Then click Start Game.
Good Luck!
I have revalidated my above post, and the filenames and instructions are correct. Ignore the incorrect filename at instruction 3, cause it is the step which i took to get a successful installation for Garena as of this time, November 23, 2009.
Additional information:
- if you want to skip the trailer at the start of the game, configure garena’s parameters with, “-novid” (without the double quotes).
- To change nickname open config.cfg in \left4daed2\cfg\ folder
- To change nickname in game, “setinfo name <yournickname>”
- To change language open rev.ini and set your language
