Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Here is how to play Left 4 Dead in a LAN with one or more Steam Accounts: 1) Download and install Left 4 Dead, either from Steam or a DVD, on all of the PCs you are going to use. 2) Download the Left 4 Dead Left 4 Dead Dedicated Server on one of the PCs. 3) Run the Left 4 Dead Dedicated Server and enter your settings (I would run it in LAN mode but it works either way). 4) Switch every Steam account to its "offline" status, providing you are going to re-use it/them. 5) Run Left 4 Dead on all of the PCs. 6) Go into the game menu and then the keyboard configuration - enable the console. 7) Go back to the main menu and press the Tilde ("~") key to open the console. Type "openserverbrowser" to open the "classic" server browser. 9) Select the "LAN" tab. 10) Click "Connect." 11) Enjoy the game! Edited February 16, 2009 by Deadly_Nightshade "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
