I'll be playing on Steam tonight if people want some preliminary Versus :)

A well timed jockey/smoke on the last survivor to try go cross one of these is basically an instant kill. It's quite irritating really.

Well, if you were really good, you could use a molotov or pipe bomb to free them before they get incapped. The larger pipe bomb radius compared to L4D 1 makes it a little easier, too. Not as straightforward with a Jockey, though.

Sorry for barely being on tonight - Steam took a strop followed by another and then another...

Well I think I identified and solved the problem. Had a lengthy Versus session afterwards and didn't get chucked off once. So fingers crossed for tomorrow.

I think how we'll do this is the first eight in the chatroom from 19:45 onwards are in the first group and anyone else on top of that can form another group if there's enough people. It was Scavenge today, so it'll be Versus tomorrow!

On another note, Valve has finally addressed the 360 dedicated server issue and as suspected, the problems were due to overwhelming demand, which is a bit short-sighted from Valve given how it frequently touted strong pre-orders on the console. They've added loads of new servers and increased the infrastructure, as announced on the blog here. I haven't tried it out for myself yet, but the response on the Steam forums of doom seems reassuringly positive.

So those interested on the 360 Versus/Scavenge night, put you're name down here. Starting from 19:30 this week!!! (Note that this is on Sundays)

[EDIT - Also, if you've declared an interest in playing in the weekly games, please make sure your Steam ID is either in the forum spreadsheet and correct (and make sure it's your actual Steam ID and not your screen name or user name - it'll be an ID you set yourself or a long number!) OR your ID is part of your signature. If your ID is just in a post body, it'll eventually get lost in the shuffle and the RLLMUK group is fairly big to sort through manually.]

Yeah I had that problem over the weekend. I think they borked it with the full release, like they did the stats. I kept on verifying my files but it didn't do anything. I tried moving the local content, then verifying and it still wouldn't have it. In the end I bit the bullet, deleted and reinstalled. Even then it wouldn't load as it was missing 71 files. So I downloaded them and *touch wood* all seems well. On Saturday I had a problem connecting to the steam clound, which made the game unplayable, as it wouldn't find any servers. It's a pretty poor show to be honest. I didn't encounter one problem with the original.

Tried this and still no joy. Exactly the same thing happens! Has anyone heard if this is an offical problem and if Valve are getting off their backside to fix it? It's pretty outrageous really. Bought the game, ran fine then all of a sudden, broken after a update!

Good game earlier, I just remember the closing moments watching the sole survivor giant_frying_pan desperately trying to clamber atop of a little kiosk to retrieve a lost fuel can, being pursued by a tank and a hunter, only to be smashed away enroute to the car and hideously killed. Then it crashed on the 'YOUR TEAM LOST' screen. Good times.

Got a few videos of tonight's game up. Would have more, but I got called in for another versus match elsewhere. More videos to come!

(was a constant barrage of attack from the lift to the saferoom!)

Again, I'll put more up from the other three levels tomorrow night.

Arghhhhhh I come back from eating my dinner and it's full. Ffffffffffffffffff

You can have priority next time.

I got on the kiosk all right, but it was a standoff - the tank was between me and...well...the car's tank! I think if I had adrenaline I could have pulled it off. Video of this will be forthcoming!
