Frequently Asked Questions – Left 4 Dead 2 (Build 23990068)

Is Left 4 Dead 2 completely free?

Yes, this pre-installed build is free to download and play. However, the game is a paid title on Steam, so consider purchasing it there if you want to support the developers.

How do I install Left 4 Dead 2?

Download the 15.4 GB archive, extract it to a folder excluded from antivirus scanning, run the Redist installers if needed, then launch the game via Launcher.bat.exe as administrator. Full details are in the included Installation Guide.txt.

Can I play multiplayer with this version?

LAN and offline co-op work out of the box. For online play with Steam friends, you'll need a community-made online fix, which is not officially supported. We recommend testing with a friend before relying on it.

How do I change the language to English?

Open the in-game options, go to the Audio tab, and select English from the language dropdown. This fixed the Russian dialogue issue on our test machine.

The game lists Windows 7/Vista/XP, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 2 GB RAM, NVIDIA 7600 or ATI X1600 graphics, DirectX 9.0c, and 13 GB storage. In practice, it runs smoothly on most modern PCs.
