Anyone else having problems with steam? Says my download will commence, but apart from creating an icon on my desktop, nothing happens.

You gonna play ASAP? We need one more.
Yea, I'll play. I really SHOULD be studying as I took off work for studying lol. But I have the rest of the day for that. And I guess I'll study while this is downloading.
 
Damn, Steam is annoying. It's frozen 3 times already and now it's decrypting the demo for about 10 minutes. I started downloading the 360 demo 15 minutes ago and I'm already watching the introduction scene on my TV as I wait for Steam to finish....

So who are the aussies still awake?
*raises hand*

Not much longer though, preloading went bust for me so I have half of it to download yet on top of the updates and stuff.
 
Played like 5 seconds of singleplayer and now I have to go =( Steam name is Ikuu if anyone wants a game in like an hour.
 
so if anyone of you guys has a spare key for the PC demo, you could make me very happy :D

oh god, somebody PLEASE send me a key!!
 
Anyone have an extra 360 code? Mine hasn't come for some reason yet but when it does I'll make it available to GAF. I'm just dying to play it now.

Sure, all you have to do is preorder the damn thing. :P
 
So all the people downloading and playing now pre-ordered it on Steam, yes? What about us guys who cheated our way into the Gamestop pre-order bonus? Why do we get screwed over???

It's really not that easy. I preordered it and still haven't received my 360 code. I really hope they begin sending them out again.

Same here. I pre-ordered and haven't got one, and used the additional thing through GameStop.Com and haven't received one for that either. Sucks major ass. If someone has an extra code to give me now, I'll make my codes available to GAF when they come in.
 
Everything went smoothly for me, and those in this chat. We need one more person though, if someone can volunteer themself.

I had the same problem. Had to uninstall and reinstall Steam and now it's finally downloading.

Anyone have a extra 360 code? I pre-ordered and even filled out that damn online thing a few days ago and still I got nothing. This sucks....:(
 
I walked into my I had a 9:00 class then a 10:30 right after that....I just walked right into my 10:30 and walked right out.....damn my roommate texting me all class saying how good L4d was.
 
shiiiit I accidentally cancelled the download and had to delete the content and then root around in Download History to get it going again, because the code had expired

NXE better have a 'Are you sure?' prompt on cancelling downloads to prevent future panic on my part

SOOOO bad, not the gameplay or anything just this whole online implementation is terrible

because theres no server list you don't know how many servers are available, when you try to start a game it says no dedicated servers available. so right now, people either don't have the right port open and can't host so no one connects through the lobby or they have and then the other 3 people get to play with 300ms+ AWESOME!!

fuck this console shite, bring back server lists and while your at it, quadruple the amount of servers

I'm in this boat too. Been dying to play L4D. Been looking forward to today. Got off from class and work and everything.

Sad to hear that. I'm eager to check it out for myself and see what my own opinions are of it. Good news though is that Valve are good with updates and will certainly patch away the bad aspects if there's enough noise about them.
 
No Valve Game thread is complete without Screenshots!!!

Wooooo.

My laptop can handle L4D after all! Looks ugly as hell, but it runs! (Now I have to figure out why TF2 runs so shitty.)

Of course I'm busy busy busy with school until Friday afternoon, so I can't really play until then. BUT. I CAN PLAY COME FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

Yeah I'm hoping they patch this before release. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me to force some sort of matchmaking on PC. Especially once custom content and mods come rolling in.

I'm getting the 360 demo now, will have to wait till Nov 11 to get the demo on PC and try it out!
