'Left 4 Dead' Cheats Fixed on Dedicated Servers, Peer Servers Will be Patched Soon

Posted by Brian Leahy - Wednesday, December 10, 2008 3:40 PM

Valve has made "a server-side fix to deny the recently reported cheats on all dedicated Left 4 Dead Xbox 360 servers." This should help stomp most of the cheating that has been going on in the Versus mode in the Xbox 360 version, but a title update will be required to patch user-hosted and system link servers.

However, if you're cheating over system link, you're probably close enough to the people you're playing against to risk being kicked.

According to Valve, "the majority of co-op and Versus" games take place on their dedicated servers so rest easy.

Cheats allowing players to spawn enemies like Witches were discovered recently and were ruining many games of Left 4 Dead.

Did you experience any cheating?

Damn, that was quick.

Hrm, that explains my team's difficulty last night against several tanks.

Epic needs to take notes from Valve. Valve is already working on a fix to stop cheating. I wish Epic would get their sh#t together and fix Gears 2. There are so many glithces in that game its ridiculous. Its even more lame when a lot of the glitches were also in Gears 1.

No, never noticed this. I'm happy they fixed, but I'll be really happy when THEY RELEASE SOME NEW FREAKIN' MAPS.

AI Direcetor or not, random hordes or not, 4 maps are getting boring really damn fast. My friends and I have already stopped playing. We're holding onto it waiting for the DLC, but I'm not gonna wait forever (or even another month for that matter).

DLC has to start coming faster.

People probably think we cheat since we hand people their asses in that game consistently! But spawning witches and tanks? Thats just lame...

People take note: Thats what a good game developer is.

Valve rocks



BLACK MESA.............Still great fun for family vacations

I hate being tank in vs. On 1-player they're unstoppable, but as soon as I pick up a peice of rubble to throw, I flap apart the instant I rip it out of the ground.

Admittedly, though, the witch is pretty easy to kill if you have one of the better weapons. Take the auto shotgun and walk up behind her, step two- unleash hell. I haven't gotten even hurt by a witch in the last 2 or 3 dozens meetings.

@ RROD

Calling someone an imposter is name calling. Please report to the principals office immediately! -----{} lol just kidding!

I hope the fixed the cheat at the end of the first campaign, I was getting sick of people rotating the tank and keeping it away from the action so their team had unlimited special zombies on their side and would just wear us down. I haven't played the game since.

this game is just horrible first off the ai is retarded all they do is run at you wow so smart. second the shooting is crap, it doesn't come close to most valve shooters. graphics are ok but not great. the story is just dumb no point to it and multiplay is just ok. sry but this game is just a 7/10

@emk2008: I suppose you'd rather them drink tea and slap you with a glove before having your gentleman's duel eh? AI doesn't need to be that complex for this type of game. :\

This Game sounds awesome i cant wait to go to the gamestop nd buy it for my PS3!!!
Ooohh wait its only on xbox360 and pc??
score XBOX360-1 PS3-0

Posted by petjapel12 - Thursday, December 11, 2008 6:54 AM

Yeah this is a great game, it tends to get a little boring because of the maps but the zombies change place everytime you play (thats good). And RROD sorry this great game did not come out for ps3. But some of the ps3 games are good like LBP and Metal Gear Solid 4, those are great games do not get me wrong its just that i like the 360 a little better than the ps3.

@stopCOPnROLLit

I can't wait to get home and play L4D. Oh wait, my xbox is getting repaired.
PS3-1 xbox360-1

Posted by Victoryismine52 - Thursday, December 11, 2008 9:09 AM

@Al_Coholic
Well when I get my 360 back from being repaired I'm going to play some L4D!!! Then I'll play LBP.... Oh wait... Damn... It seems like there is a benefit to having both systems... You mean I Can't just say that all the games for another system suck to make me feel better?

Posted by stopCOPnROLLit - Thursday, December 11, 2008 9:25 AM

I love these fanboys i personally own both a xbox360 and PS3 so while my xbox is getting repaired ill be playing resistance 2. Thats how a grown man handles fanboys. Just buy both systems or tell your mommy and daddy to get you both

Posted by Al_Coholic - Thursday, December 11, 2008 9:27 AM

@Victoryismine52

I have a PS3 and a 360. Having both is the only way to roll. I only made that comment because he took an uneccessary jab at the PS3.

@stopCOPnROLLit

Having both consoles- 1
Fanboys- 0

Posted by stopCOPnROLLit - Friday, December 12, 2008 5:48 AM

@Al_Coholic
