Oh good! I thought the no tanks after 15 minutes was a feature to make the latter stages tank free but swarming with infected. Technically survival mode just got harder...ha!

 

[Sheepo]

Not sure I understand the first thing...

Not sure I understand the first thing...

It's to do with the game menu and the new lighthouse background. People were complaining they couldn't see the menu options when the light shone on it so apparently they've increased the contrast.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Some people dislike it so much they've disabled it. If you are one of those people read this.

 

[FishBulb]

IMO, it's not that bad. I read that thread before I could get home and update L4D so I was expecting to be completely blinded but it's nothing more than a minor discomfort, especially since I spend ~3 seconds in the game menu before choosing something.

Glenn, if I had already disabled it, what use would viewing a thread about how to disable it be?

Silly kid.

 

[Marler]
