• Fixed a case where it was not possible to join a game while it was in a finale

[diluted]

so this doesn't include the other 2 campaigns for versus?

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Haha, they've forgotten to include them in the changelist, but they are definitely in there!

 

[creepy_thing]

Yay can't wait to try out this new mode!

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Hectic Glenn: How comes the changlog doesn't show the two new vs campaigns?
Hectic Glenn: Lombardi's mistake?
Chet: yeah... oops, my bad. they are there!

 

[CyberPitz]

This is sweet. I'm stuck at work for another hour and a half, though!

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Played it on 360 earlier, shit is HARD.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

It's not all that great. I'd rather play campaign.

 

[Lizardizzle]

yay! but i'm entrenched with Oblivion at the moment. maybe in a few.... months

 

[DecayingMadness]

sooo... no SDK?

 

[hool10]

Yeah Survival mode, at least for me, was fun for a half an hour. I only played on the lighthouse map btw. I survived for 6min and I pretty much recorded it. The real gem of this update is Dead Air on Versus. The SDK was also never mentioned to be in this update as well.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

A further update...

• Fixed an incorrect DLL for windows dedicated servers
• Corrected players not receiving the Lighthouse achievement
• Added missing Survival only sounds
• Fixed issue with awarding medal achievements
• Corrected ghost icons appearing survival scoreboard

Spoiler

Anybody freaked out by that picture? I don't mean the setting, I mean the artists at Valve are high. $7 plus S&H http://store.valvesoftware.com/productshowcase/productshowcase_L4D-LastStandPoster.html Also this is the first shirt ever I want that is a gaming shirt and by Valve: http://store.valvesoftware.com/ The faces though are absurd!

I thought I read somewhere they were releasing the sdk with this patch. I don't understand why they don't make releasing it more of a priority.

Fixed a case where infected players would get a respawn time on their initial spawn into a map

YEAHHHH!

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Zoey has a mustache in that pic

 

[TwwIX]

I love it! It puts a lot more emphasis on teamwork than the other modes. Pure chaotic fun. Kudos to Valve! Now, all we need is the SDK so that mappers can start churning out some new campaigns.

 

[Steel.Inferno]

I had no idea you could buy the movie posters... Tempting, very tempting...

 

[G-Dub]

Updating now. Can't wait to try this.

Lolage @ changlog mistake

 

[Reflex]

Are the achievements on the 360 aswell?

 

[GonzoBabbleshit]

Are the achievements on the 360 aswell?

Nope. Anyone have any idea why?

 

[PimpinPenguin]

Nope. Anyone have any idea why?

I think it's because the DLC is free.

 

[Operational]

Nope. Anyone have any idea why?

Microsoft says, "No free DLC with Achievements".

They also say "No payed DLC without Achievements", it's got something to do with XBox rewards or something.

 

[bud7miker]

What are the 16 new maps?

 

[knut]

What are the 16 new maps?

Individual chapters from campaigns have been re-tooled for Survivor mode i.e. the Construction Site from Dead Air, the Boathouse Finale from Death Toll...

 

[Reflex]

Damn, not played this yet.

 

[Sheepo]

I thought all 20 had been adapted, although, that doesn't really work now that I think about it. Which ones are out?

I did too, but I think it's only maps with crescendos. Off the top of my head that means the train bridge from Blood Harvest is out (which is a shame), the Streets/Apartment and Subway Tunnel from No Mercy, the Turnpike from Death Toll and the Greenhouse from Dead Air.

I think anyway.

 

[Sheepo]

I just checked a second ago, and you're pretty much right, but the subway is on there (generator room) so one other must be lacking.

 

[knut]

Oh yeah, I forgot that Generator Room was part of Subway. Umm...

The Woods from Blood Harvest.

 

[knut]

Thats the one!
