L4D2 Demo Windows srcds files available

Lob (UK · **Author**

Just in case any of you guys are waiting to build a l4d2 demo server, the Windows Dedicated Server files are now available.

Code:

 
hldsupdatetool -command update -game "left4dead2_demo" -dir C:\whatever

The game itself client side has been delayed a few hours but at least we can start getting servers ready in the meantime.

I am downloading mine now as i post this (58% done)

Not sure if the Linux version is available yet though.

an important thing to note..
while you need to use left4dead2_demo to get the files
you need to use left4dead2 in the launch execution commandline or else your server won't start

Yep, spot on.

Your start up command-line should look something like this guys.

Code:

\left4dead2_demo\srcds.exe -console -game left4dead2 +ip whatever +port 27015 +map c5m1_waterfront

FYI everyone, there was an update released for the L4D2 demo DS about an hour ago.

Yep, just checked and there was a small update to the engine.dll
