To start your server it is easier to use a shortcut. You can also set the max players you want next to sv_maxplayers.
You should give your server a name in this file next to hostname. There is a lot of extra stuff in there since I grabbed someone else's file as a base online but it doesn't hurt and gives you an idea of what you can do. Create a new plain text file named "server.cfg" without the quotes in the C:\L4D2DS\left4dead2\cfg folder.
222860 is the ID for L4D2.Īfter it has finished downloading your server will need a server.cfg file to run. Next type "app_update 222860 validate" without the quotes which will download the Dedicated Server files. You can change L4D2DS to whatever you want. Some of the below text came from this guide: prompt.Īt the Steam> prompt, type "login anonymous" without the quotesĪt the Steam> prompt, type "force_install_dir c:\L4D2DS" without the quotes which will tell SteamCMd where to download the files. Please note, I only tested this with all friends on my physical LAN so I cant promise it will work the same if everyone is connecting over the web. I tried to give credit where I took information but if I forgot anything just let me know. Some was copy/paste since I was not going to re-write just to claim it as my own. I took the time to bother writing this up and am open to suggestions so please be nice in the comments. I will fix it and try my best to keep this updated as any software versions change. There may be typos, some stuff may be unclear, or I may have forgot something since I did this a month ago now but please comment and let me know. After finally getting this to work and having 20+ tabs open I thought I would make it easier for those who want to do the same.
Any "complete" threads I found either had techniques that no longer worked or did not give enough details to begin with. When searching the internet for a complete guide all I found were multiple support threads with details hidden within.
I created this guide because my friends & I wanted to do some 5 player campaign co-op.
