Split-screen without bezels

Split-screen mode was meant to be played on a single 4:3 or 16:9 screen. The image may not entirely fit the monitor with different aspect ratios.

Edit split-screen aspect-ratio^[9]
Go to `<path-to-game>\left4dead`. Open `splitscreen_config.txt`. Look for the paragraph describing the split methods ("nonwidescreen", "widescreen_horizontal_split", "widescreen_vertical_split"). Change the split method according to the desired aspect ratio multiplied or divided by 2. Save the changes.

Field of view (FOV)

FOV when playing in splitscreen is easily customizable inside <path-to-game>\left4dead\splitscreen_config.txt.

By default field of view cannot be changed. The only changeable option is viewmodel FOV.

Change camera and viewmodel FOV^[10]
Download the FoV addon. Extract the files in `<path-to-game>\left4dead\addons`. Bring up the in-game console. Type in console (or .cfg) `"fov_override XX"` to change the camera FOV and `"viewmodel_fov_override XX"` to change the viewmodel FOV (replace "XX" with the desired value).

LAN play

You can play Left 4 Dead over a local area network (LAN) connection.

Start LAN game^{[citation needed]}

Open the developer console and type in: sv_lan 1.
After that, type in: map %mapname%, %mapname% is the name of the map (for example, to play on "No Mercy", write "map l4d_hospital01_apartment")

Maplist:

No Mercy: l4d_hospital01_apartment
Crash Course: l4d_garage01_alleys
Death Toll: l4d_smalltown01_caves
Dead Air: l4d_airport01_greenhouse
Blood Harvest: l4d_farm01_hilltop
The Sacrifice: l4d_river01_docks

To clients to join a server, use: connect <ip>:<port> (for example, connect 192.168.1.1).

Notes

The player's IP address can be checked by typing net_start.

Local play

A list of useful commands for split-screen is available below

Playing with 2 controllers^[11]

If you want to play with only a controller and a mouse+keyboard, check Mouse + Keyboard in split-screen

Download custom split.cfg
Extract it inside <path-to-game>\left4dead\cfg-
Launch the game and join or create a match in the desired mode
When in-game, open the console and type ss_connect
Add second player to survivor team with cmd2 jointeam 2 command
Load second player keys bindings by typing exec split (all previous bindings are reseted)
Enjoy

Notes

If loading bar gets stuck quickly pause and unpause game

To play a private versus match, open console and use ss_map l4d_vs_#rest-of-map-name#

If playing in split-screen without a single 4:3 or 16:9 monitor, look above

Purple and black broken textures

A generic fix for this issue can be found on our Source engine page.

Can't unlock Lamb 2 Slaughter achievement

Enabling the console in Source games^[12]
Open console Type `sv_cheats 1; achievement_reset L4D_ACHIEVEMENT_INCAP_AFTER_SAFEROOM; sv_cheats 0`

Console commands

Games running on the Source engine can utilize Source Engine Console Commands for various tasks.^[13]

Enabling the console in Source games^{[citation needed]}

Launch the game
From the main menu select Options
Select the Keyboard tab
Click the Advanced button
Check the box next to Enable developer console (~)
Click Apply

Notes

Press ~ to open the console.

Some commands may first require you enabling sv_cheats. You can do so with sv_cheats 1.

Many servers will not allow you to play with cheats enabled, or will disable them upon entering the server.

Users without a US keyboard could experience some problems.

Creating your own CFG (to run multiple console commands together)

A CFG is a file that contains a list of commands that when run will attempt to execute them all

Open a text editor such as Notepad and type in all the commands you want separating each with a ;

When done save the file as filename.cfg in <path-to-game>\left4dead\cfg. To run the cfg file, open the console during the game and type in exec filename.cfg If you want the CFG file to run automatically, name it autoexec.cfg.

Useful split-screen commands

Since Split-screen mode in Left 4 Dead isn't officially supported, there are multiple important key settings which aren't immediately available.

Command	Description
connect_splitscreen localhost [ip-address] 2	Join a LAN or Internet server in splitscreen mode.
[cmd/cmd2] jointeam [2/3]	Assign selected player (cmd) to either survivor or infected team
mp_gamemode [coop/survival/versus]	Change gamemode. If adjusted while in-game it's advised to `changelevel`
ss_splitmode [0/1/2]	Toggle horizontal and vertical screen split (0 is auto selection)
z_difficulty [Easy/Normal/Hard/Impossible]	Change game difficulty
setinfo name Max	Change player 1 name
name2 Tony	Change player 2 name

Command line arguments

See command line arguments on how to use the following options.

Parameter	Description
-w X -h Y	Sets screen resolution (or window resolution if using -window). Example: `-w 1920 -h 1080`.
-refresh X	Sets your screen refresh-rate (Hz). Example: `-refresh 60`.
-noborder -window	Launches the game in a borderless fullscreen window (i.e. very `Alt`+`Tab ↹` friendly). This may result in a minor performance loss. If you experience stuttering, disable Windows Aero.^{[citation needed]}
-novid	Skip intro videos
-autoconfig	Restores video and performance settings to default for the current hardware detected. Ignores settings inside any .cfg files until this parameter is removed.
