Hey guys,
Ii don't know about you, but I suffer from crashes in game while playing the Left 4 Dead Demo. Sometimes they are frequent and sometimes they are not. I searched the internet to find this is not an uncommon problem. Anyway I found a LEFT 4 DEAD DEMO CRASH FIX! It is as follows.
1) Enable the Console in options. Open the console and type:
mat_queue_mode 0
This tells the game to only use a single core of the processor, there is a bug in the demo that doesn't like dual core.
2) In the Video Options change "Fullscreen" to "Windowed (No Borders)"
If you run at full resolution this will look exactly the same as fullscreen, no worries.
I honestly don't know how number 2 helps the issue, but it does. I've tested every combination of these two fixes and they BOTH need to be done in order to get consistent non crashing.
PLEASE let me know if you have even ran into the crashing issue and if this helps, good luck.
