Left For Dead 2

[nicr4wks]

Banning games and movies is just plain stupid.

Not too worried about servers being a problem, plenty of rackspace around for unnoficial ones , most adsl2 connections have enough bandwidth to host a l4d game too. Hopefully it turns out to be a good game, wonder how Valve feels about Australia wanting all of it's gaming citizens to pirate l4d2.

OFLC recommended an 18+ classification, all but one man approved it and has blocked it ever since. State election next year, get it right SA.

I'd be willing to bet that none of those charming japanese hentai games (which always seem to be centered on virtual rape lol) would have ever graced the OFLC's eyes

Where can I obtain these said games?

Try the torrent section of some anime forums

Virtual rape ftw.

Oh yeah.

As for LFD2 I hoping they will unban it like what they did with FEAR 2. Its one of the few games that I might actually consider buying, rather than just pirate.

Hopefully it gets pushed through, would love to play it legally through steam.

"online download of pirated versions of L4D2 increased by100% in AUS after it was officially released worldwide but due to it being banned in AUS, it isnt available here"

i so can see that happening Lol

[fairplay]

But pirated versions wouldnt allow you to play online.

[Sl!m]

can't find the link now, but this has now been approved for sale in Australia.. not sure if it's changed or what though./

[Kujotk]

yay

[Mayuri Krab]

Is it censored?

[DivHunter]

Yes, you can get the uncensored version by connecting steam through a proxy.

[bozodos]

I always use 7 proxies

demo is out now, jst played it and its great - not as good as the first but the weapons are mad and better sounds too; more special infected

download it, only one level though but a good 15 minutes of play

[Mayuri Krab]

Is it the censored one?

[Gazzilla]

I hear that NZ will be getting the uncut version.. if so think i will ebay one from over there. Also the UK also get the uncut version.

[Mayuri Krab]

Everyone is getting normal version except us

[Tangles]

played a little today, very sad to see zombies just disappear once shot

pretty gay to be honest

[Tangles]

woot

awesomness blood and gore trick

Ok, to actually do this, you need to look at 2 files, ..\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\steam.inf, and ..\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\steam_appid.txt. Open steam.inf with notepad or whatever, and change the line that says "appID=590" to "appID=510" and save the file. Go back one folder and open steam_appid.txt and change the number "590" to "510" and save. Now, you need to run the game from the .exe file located at ..\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2 AND NOT run it through steam. If you run through steam, it will still be censored (note that you can add the left4dead2.exe to steam as a non steam game and that will work to run it uncensored). When you run from the exe, all steam features will still work, the overlays and all that, it will just think you're playing the Left 4 Dead Dedicated Server.

So does that completely uncensor it? Is that all that was the difference?

yes. uncensored, full blood and gore.

wont load up from the Steam games list tho - you need to run from steamapps/common//left 4 dead 2/L4D2.exe

after changing the value from 590 (demo mode) or 550 (full censored Aust.version) to 510 as listed above, you get full gore mode

easy as 1,2,3
