Left 4 Dead 2 Update Released
January 12, 2010, 2:35 pm - Valve - Product Update

Updates to Left 4 Dead 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Gameplay

    * Fixed where last round of upgraded ammo didn't have upgrade effect
    * Jockeyed survivor now glows for infected team in all cases
    * Fixed exploit that allowed Jockey players to get instant recharge of their ability
    * Fixed Charger ability timer not resetting when killing a survivor with low health on their third strike
    * Charger now applies a small amount of damage when charging through physic props


Match Making

    * Changed how requests are made to master server for group servers
    * Fixed sorting on group servers UI
    * Reduced update work on group servers UI


Miscellaneous

    * Made the water shader support splitscreen on the PC
    * Miscellaneous fixes in the subtitles
    * Updated system tray icon
    * Fixed Survival timer issue caused when voting for round restart


SDK/L4D2-LD/Hammer changes

    * Added env_instructor_hint to fgd, as well as content/game icon images

    * Added missing vmt for env_instructor_hint

    * L4D Addon Support - restored missing shelves metal 3
    * L4D Addon Support - restored floodlight generator switch

The Addon Support is for install custom map on L4D2 and the Authoring Tools is for make some custom map so the choice is you want it or not

[BoB!!!]

Make sure that you install all the update first, then install Rev-Emu.

[snakeeater11112]

Make sure that you install all the update first, then install Rev-Emu.

you mean all the way from 2002 to 2008?

[KKHfai]

Hm, was it a dedicated server by means of SRCDS or someone hosting it thru console by 'map ...' ?
I haven't got that error with the steps given in the site.

[Hitokiri]

Hey guys, thanks for all the guides and easy links satannuts.

Can any of you guys help me im still having the Engine Error "Could not load library Client".

Ill explain what i did hehehe  

Installed Razor's L4D2.
Patched with the Razor patching thing inside.
Ran the full 2008 update i got from here.
Ran the L4D2_Rev_Emu_9.81R4_SN i got from here too.
Set Masterserver.vdf to Read-only.

And it didnt work, i read something here about the client.dll so i downloaded that and replaced the one i had with the one i downloaded and it still didnt work.

So im hoping you guys can help me figure out what i did wrong.  

Thanks!  

(I should have all the physics, .NET stuff good cuz i was playing 2007 fine)

I did use the search and found a lot of similar problems but i couldnt understand the solutions so i posted my own here

First, i dont know about Razor release but i will try to help. Which EXE that you use to launch the game ?

[Hitokiri]

Im launching the game with the left4dead2.exe and it launches fine i get the Valve, L4D2 intro but when it should bring up the menu it crashes back to desktop with the Error message that it couldnt load the client library.

[lockedout]

You probably shouldn't have patched Razor's L4D2 BEFORE running the full 2.0.0.8 update because the patch modifies files and then when you update to 2.0.0.8, it gets changed again. Then after you use Rev Emu 9.81R4, it really messes things up so you should delete the old files and then reinstall from Razor's L4D2. Update to 2.0.0.8 and THEN use Rev Emu 9.81R4. Run left4dead2.exe to play after.

[satannuts]

Correct...
Install game -> install Full update -> Install Crack -> play.

No need to install the razor patch...  it only brings game from pre-2.0.0.0 version to 2.0.0.2 [i believe]
Any and all files needed from razor-patch for razor release have been included in the Full Update.

[Hitokiri]

Awesome it works now, thanks a lot for the support KKHfai, lockedout and satannuts c ya guys in the game!  

Edit: i have another quick question, if i have to computers on the same network, can i play with both of them at the same time?

[KKHfai]

Edit: i have another quick question, if i have to computers on the same network, can i play with both of them at the same time?

You can do it bcause i have try this

[Hitokiri]

With 2 computers on the same network? i get some Steam validation error

[irogue]

With 2 computers on the same network? i get some Steam validation error

I have the TPG (the pirate gay) version installed fresh from default version 1.00 or such then i installed the patch 2.008 rev emu and then crack as others have posted above and can play from both PCs at home behind router on same ip adress only once did i run into an issue where i couldn't.

I believe this is a server side setting that the server host can modify by allowing ppl using same ip adress on a lan to connect without any client errors *shrugs*.  Maybe someone else can verify this??

[luizmp]

2.0.0.9 is out... will you post it ?   

[satannuts]

2.0.0.9 is out... will you post it ?

Hello.
I'm a new member 
I've this version of the game, I've follow the istructions to play online with cracked servers, but I've a problem.
When I try to join a server, the game takes me back to the menu screen and I get this message from the console

"Invalid protocol, expecting 2008, got 2010
BinkOpen( c:\documents and settings\tommaso\desktop\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\media\l4d2_background05.bik )"

What's the problem?
Thx.
