...didn't you say we shouldn't make DRs on demos?

;)

We shouldn't make them based on betas. This is not a beta - it's based on the full version of the game. We do DRs based on demos like this all the time.

But it was really a demo, the Beta name is misleading since it got the patch for the gold game.

It's a misnomer to make you feel "special"...

But to each his own...

I think that a big thing between this demo and that beta is that we basically have access to everything that we can test in this game.

Where with WaW the only actual thing that you could test was the muiltiplayer.

Hey cranky, just one small correction. The demo is content limited, not time limited. You can only play the first 2 maps of the game (there will be 20 on release), but you can take as long as you want to finish them :).

I think he meant time limited as in the demo is removed/stops working when Left 4 Dead is released on Nov 18.

Why is 2.75:1 called Ben Hur mode? I've never heard of that term...

Really? Well, get on that Netflix queue and put THIS at the top of your list.

Ben-Hur is one of THE biggest epics in the history of film. It holds the record (tied later by Titanic and LotR:Return of the King) for most Oscar wins: 11. It was filmed in ultra-widescreen, 2.76:1, hence the moniker "Ben-Hur mode".

It's not really an official term - I just use it in my DRs so I can demonstrate that super-wide ARs work while also giving a shout-out to the widest mainstream movie I know about. Ben-Hur is so wide and so epic that it makes modern 2.35:1 action movies look like 4:3 squarescreen TV shows.

I see... yeah, never saw Ben Hur, only clips from Cinemania '95 that came with my Win95 system :P

Now that this is released, can we get a confirmation for Certification?

I have noticed no Anomalies playing in 1280x800 windowed mode. The game performs exactly like the demo in every aspect.

Alright, we'll call it yet another certified Valve game.

Triple Monitor SS

Works :) All settings maxed takes up 400 mb ram.

IS there a way to change the FOV? Tried sv_cheats 1 and changed the fov value but doesnt work...
Triple monitor with this game wich has a base fov of 70°(rather than 90° for most fps) is obscenely distorted.

fov_desired

I changed both values but the fov remains the same.......i thought that was clear....

Has anyone figured out how to set a custom resolution? I want to set it up for a 1280x1024 next to a 1680x1050 so the resolution would be 2960x1024.

I tried editing the left4deadcfgvideo.txt and videodefaults.txt but both seem to be overwritten when you run the game.

I tried the launch options of -width 2960 and -sw to keep it in a window. Doesn't seem to do anything.

hobbes, probably you have to input also the height in the parameter. :wink:
