Left 4 Dead Server

Let’s open a campaign server in addition to a vs server. I would assume we have more than ample resources to do so. And put it on expert mode.

If anyone wants to play L4D with 3 other skilled shooters and smart team players, add Scrappa to your steam friends. We have 3 players and are in need of a solid 4th for expert runs.

Excellent… Guess nominations don’t have to happen now lol…

I win!

I’ll definitely have to check into this when I get a chance. Get another guy from campus to play as well.

I turned the L4D2 servers off because Steam matchmaking wasn’t using them much and CSS was having issues. It didn’t really fix the CSS issues so I’ll go turn them back on.

Below are the L4D/L4D2 servers we are currently hosting:

L4D #1 – gaming.wcu.edu:27031

L4D #2 – gaming.wcu.edu:27032

L4D #3 – gaming.wcu.edu:27033

L4D #4 – gaming.wcu.edu:27034

L4D #5 – gaming.wcu.edu:27035

L4D2 #1 – gaming.wcu.edu:27036

L4D2 #2 – gaming.wcu.edu:27037

L4D2 #3 – gaming.wcu.edu:27038

L4D2 #4 – gaming.wcu.edu:27039

L4D2 #5 – gaming.wcu.edu:27040

L4D2 #6 – gaming.wcu.edu:27041

L4D2 #7 – gaming.wcu.edu:27042

L4D2 #8 – gaming.wcu.edu:27043

L4D2 #9 – gaming.wcu.edu:27044

L4D2 #10 – gaming.wcu.edu:27045

L4D2 #11 – gaming.wcu.edu:27046

L4D2 #12 – gaming.wcu.edu:27047

L4D2 #13 – gaming.wcu.edu:27048

L4D2 #14 – gaming.wcu.edu:27049

I’ve put them in the OP for convenience. Also, if you join our steamgroup you’ll get them on the main menu.

They are completely unmodded, stock servers which is becoming increasingly hard to find these days.

well thats no good.

There’s nothing we can do about that, they’re set up correctly. Valve made significant changes to the matchmaking system a couple months ago which basically did two things: make it incredibly hard to get a non-friends game going and make it almost impossible to get a server in your region. I’ve complained to Valve several times and they’ve done everything from reinstalling the game to reinstalling Steam and (of course) none of that worked. What’s happened is they’ve coded out sv_region and are doing the region selection on their servers, poorly. If you type sv_region in console you’ll likely find that it’s set to -1. If you set it to east coast (0) or global (255) it will autoreset it back to -1. I think they partition regions according to ISPs, which is defeats the purpose of actually having a matchmaking system.

I might be wrong on that, idk, but that’s what it looks like IMO.
