Startup the game faster without loading the video intro.
Right Click on your Left 4 Dead 2 Icon and select “Properties”
Select the “Shortcut” tab. You should see something like this:
Add the following to the end of the “Target” line -novid
Select “Ok” and close. Now startup the game and test.
This didnt work for me!
Some players may see this when you open properties:
This is a web shortcut and can not accept the -novid switch. You need to create a new shortcut.
Go to /Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/left 4 dead 2/ and find left4dead2.exe
Hold right click on it and drag it to your desktop and release. A small menu will appear. Select “Create Shortcut Here”. Follow the above directions using this new shortcut.
The novid works for me.
Works here too altho it wont let me play. It says i need to remove all plugins in order to get VAC working or something like that
