L4D bugs thread - Read first posts before adding - Report exploits privately

[fakiyo]

I don't have the time and energy left to support this thread, as I have lots of private stuff to do, so in my free time I won't sit here collecting further data.

Also, seeing that L4D 2 comes out before L4D even got it's promised support... Meh. Feel free to make your own new thread about all the bugs still ingame. Thanks for the great support guys


I thought it would be helpful for Valve if we had a thread just like in the TF2 forums to keep track of actual problems. After only 2 hours it got stickied, thanks for the help to our hard working mods and forumites here.
Special thanks to TygerTyger; Nodrak; Subatomic and -ph- for their intense help.

I also started to give +5rep for some of you proving or posting important issues with screenshots or explanations. Thanks to everyone for the great help and giving +rep to me so far as this is really a hard task to keep the thread up to date.

This thread is for L4D - PC VERSION ONLY!


How can YOU help? Must reed leetle text!

- READ the first 4 posts before posting or at least search for key words if this bug is already added.
- Please post hardcore exploits ONLY via /PM directly to a MOD.
- Please do not post bugs that are in the console version as they're already fixed or on Valves list.
- Validate posted bugs tagged as [*patched?] or [*unconfirmed!].
- No off topic discussions ("I don't like this game mechanic").
- Link threads to bugs here.
- Report issues you encountered.
- Second other peoples posted bugs to validate them.
- Post screenshots or videos to show what bug you're talking about.
- Report outdated, fixed or wrong bugs so I can remove them.
- Correct false described issues.
- Deliver descriptions of what causes the glitches and issues.
- Please describe your bugs as good as possible, that you know what you mean doesn't help everyone else knowing what you mean as some bugs may not affect everyones games.
- If you already posted a bug here and I missed listing it (I'm not perfect) PLEASE post it again or /PM me so I can add it if it's definatly a bug.
- If you reported a specific bug which got listed thanks to your post, please try to confirm it again after official L4D updates are released.
- Feedback: Improve readability or grouping? False grammar or typos? Points in the wrong section? Possible new section? I'm open for any useful improvements! Remember that this thread dies with the lack of your helping hands.
- Vote this thread with 5 stars and give me +rep or I have to close it the moment it drops to 4 stars. [just kidding ]
- Note: Extreme useful posts or posters may get +5 rep from me (max 2 times each day).

This way we can keep the quality up and ensure that Valve doesn't have to hunt non existing issues.

Please be aware that I might be unable to give credits to all the helping hands here.
New bugs and glitches or updated points will be posted in the first position of every section, pushing older bugs down the section.
Bugs here have 3 states:
[*unconfirmed!] These points are not described very good, appear doubtable or totally new and need more people, information or proves to get confirmed.
[*patched?] These issues may be patched and need reports for confirmation or deletion.
[check] These points are validated and correct. Rare points with this stamp may be fixed with a recent patch which will get them removed as soon as they're reported.

-------------------------
Major or huge issues, exploits and bugs from any section:


- Huge ping and FPS performance breakdowns and performance decrease since the January 14, 2009 patch for many people. [check]

- Often after closing L4D, L4D.exe doesn't end. [check]

- Since the new update (January 23, 2009), some graphic cards can cause crashes. [check]

- Seldom, after reaching a saferoom and completing a chapter the game will enter the loading screen and load indefinitely. [check]

- Pre-patch recorded demos won't work. [check]

- Hunter leap exploit. [check and reported]

- It is sometimes possible to see the outlines of infected and their names even if you are survivor. Screenshot 1/////Screenshot 2 [check]

- NM1+3 shortcut exploit. [check and reported]

- Respawn exploits (2). [check and reported]

- Several never ending finales. [check]

- Being hit by a boss infected darkens the screen for some people. Screenshot at max brightness [*patched?]

- Reviving a teammate makes you immune to boomer explosion, Hunter and Tank pushback. [check]

- Tank exploit. [check and reported]

- Gamemode or map changeing to another movie. [check]

- Witches and tanks spawning ontop of players. [check]

- The difficulty set in the Lobby may still change ingame after the patch. [check]

- For many people L4D updates everytime they start up steam. This is often the case when your ingame language is NOT set to english. Original thread/////> SOLUTION? [*patched?]

- Doll like infected, zero animations, floating and blocking door ways, not killable and making it impossible to pass. Maybe caused from nb_stop 1.Screenshot 1/////Screenshot 2/////Screenshot 3 [*patched?]

- The game takes a long time to establish a stable connection to servers. Even after the map is loaded, there is a significant delay before the game becomes smooth enough to be playable. Then, it runs smoothly until the next map change. [check]

- When an update is downloaded, the game localization reverts back to english automatically. [*patched?]

- In game: Disconnection error: "no steam logon" [check]

- Several "Disconnected: client timed out" errors. [check]

- Missing textures / graphics "all black" problem. >OFFICIAL SOLUTION! [check]

- Ninja-lobby-game-starts: Sometimes you join a lobby only to get directly to the loading screen, resulting in forced connections. There is no "New player joined, you have to wait X seconds to start game" message for the lobby leader. [check]

- If a full versus lobby of people cannot find a relevant server it will force into a normal game. I.e. it will kick the 4 infected players and the game with become a standard game... thus NOT A VERSUS. [check]

- Sometimes dropping down a height will get you hanging from the ledge where it should not. Screenshot 1/////Screenshot 2 [check]

- Sometimes you cannot close the chat window and your view is locked, you get the mousecursor, but you cannot click on anything (not even on the chat window). The ESC-button doesn't work, but if you have bound "toggleconsole" and use it you are able to write in the chat again, by pressing enter the chat window closes and you can use your mouse again. This also happens on MOTD windows. [check]

- Matchmaking pushes you into laggy, customised games and is unable to be edited so you can choose what you want to play. (and yes, according to the name MATCHMAKING, this IS a bug ) [*patched?]

- "You must be signed into steam to do that." Error even if you are signed in, making it unable to join internet games. [check]

- Error: "the nv4_disp display driver has stopped working normally"-crash after looping sound. [*patched?]

- Huge issues with people not being able to join local servers hosted by people in their friends list or get kicked out of the lobby. ("Connection Failed After 10 Retries" issue). Screenshot [check]

- Many people experience that sometimes in the subway of No Mercy the shiny surfaces such as walls and the tiled pillars (red ones) will give off a pink and black square reflection. This is a known bug with all source games: For some reason the cubemaps are no longer used, most often after adjusting graphics settings or using alt-tab while playing in full screen. I doubt it will be fixed anytime soon. Turning L4D on and off, joining a new game or alt tabbing will fix it. [check]

- Sound loop crashes for several people. Original thread [check]

- Some players lose sound after they load up a level. [check]

- Sporadically crashes to desktop for a few people. [*patched?]

- If you play with v-sync on (triple or double buffered), the game stutters in a very irritating fashion when turning the mouse left or right. Fix: set mouse filter (keyboard/mouse options) to DISABLED [check]

- Bot survivors may try to free you from a smoker instead of helping you up the ledge. Screenshot [check]

- If the Tank hits you while you are pinned near certain obstacles, you can get stuck in the "reeling" phase of the hit (where you lose control of your survivor and can do nothing) permanently. You cannot be rescued because you are not incapacitated. [check]

- Sometimes when hit by a tank or car, the impact can get you stuck to the side of a wall. When stuck in such a way, you are only able to slide along the edges of it, but you cannot move away from the wall. Getting incapacitated and then being revived solved the problem. [check]

- Punching or shooting props (such as televisions, toasters, coffee makers ect) in safe rooms or anywhere may cause them to collide against the player and do damage. Some instances have caused massive damage (standing on the object against a corner then shooting). [check]

- Jumping and running while carrying one of the destroyable props, will cause a leg to get into the players sight, so that you can see through the half part of it. The problem is with all of the props and is sometimes quite heavy and ugly. Screenshot [check]

- Firing weapons may not react properly sometimes. [check]

- Infinite Molotovs: If you stand next to a colletion of moltovs (Just 1 on the ground will suffice), you can throw a moltov and quickly look to the ground and pick it up. The one you threw will explode, and an "extra" one will drop when you pick up the one on the ground. You can do this as many times as you want and it'll just keep making more and more for you to throw. [check]

- Med pack exploit in saferooms: "Grab a med pack, close the door, while it's closing I start to heal myself. I'm instantly given the health, level load starts, next map there's 4 med packs." Original thread [check]

Longthread is long!

-------------------------
Infected, boss and versus issues:


- This wall in NM seems to be unbreakable where it should be. (Only tank?) Screenshot [check]

- Common infected behind breakable walls try to run through them even if they're still intact instead of running around. Screenshot [check]

- Often the game loads up normal campaigns as versus maps. Screenshot [check]

- Blood Harvest map 1, there is an unclimbable ladder for infected. Screenshot [check]

- It seems like if you join a game when your character is dead you'll be able to hear the opposing team even when that match is over. [*unconfirmed!]

- When you join a game in progress you enter as survivor even thought the infected are outnumbered. [check]

- It may be possible to block vomit if you melee in the very right moment, making the puke disappear. [*unconfirmed!]

- Since the first big patch, "spawn infected right onto survivors" is a lot more common. [check]

- Sometimes, Hunters (and maybe all infected) don't appear to report changes in the direction they're facing unless they move: f.i. Hunters leaping at you while crouching facing away from you. [*unconfirmed!]

- In versus mode, you will change the survior every time. [check]

- After the according patch, it is *STILL* possible to block the vomit or tongue as ghost spawning infected. [*unconfirmed!]

- Meleeing breaks and infected's strafe; if you're strafing either direction and then melee your character will stop moving. You can still move forward and backwards while meleeing but you can't strafe. [check]

- Spawning ghost infected can block the outlines of survivors and teammates. Screenshot 1/////Screenshot 2 [check]

- You can't see votes made by the other team, only that it failed or passed. [check]

- No Mercy Apartments, you can be spawned as tank here but is unable to get out of this room. Screenshot [*unconfirmed!]

- In tight narrow spaces, melee has no effect. [check]

- On NM 4, after the elevator, an explosion can stun the Tank off the building. He will fall but won't die, walking around in a glitchy area of the map unable to do anything. Eventually his patience meter will run out and some other infected player will take his spot, "removing" a player from the game. Screenshot [check]

- In respawn mode as infected you can get pushed away when you get hit by doors being opened or closed. [*unconfirmed!]

- After a versus game ends, no new players can join that lobby because it is "still in finale". [check]

- If you are playing Infected and you duck inside a crate while in Spawn-Mode, you keep stuck in the crouch animation. [check]

- When you vote for a new campaign on versus, it may load the coop-version of that map. [*unconfirmed!]

- Playing as infected, the handrails at the top of the escalator on subway are invisible (but still there). [check]

- Blood and gore decal shows through walls and doors. [check]

- Infected in their climbing-over-obstacle animations have inconsistent hit boxes. [check]

- People with slower pcs (that are still within the minimum requirements) many times have the problem that when they start as infected in a versus server that they have to wait 30 seconds before they respawn while it says ready to respawn all the time (this isnt only at the moment the map starts, its also when the teams change). And sometimes it also happens in the middle when you need to respawn normaly cousing 60 seconds waiting. [check]

- On No Mercy you may die in spawnmode if you fall down the elevator shaft. [check]

- Joining a game in progress instantly pushes you into one survivor even if you haven't loaded yet which may cause you to die, unable to defend yourself. [check]

- Minimising the game will make some boss infected invisible. [check]

- Kills awarded either to the wrong person or when a kill hasn't been made at all. [check]

- You can hurt other infected during versus mode and even kill them easily as a tank. [check]

- If you are on the last stage of a versus session, and you get incapacitated while on the helicopter/in the tank, if the other living survivors get on the escape vehicle, the session ends. Although you are technically on the escape vehicle, it marks you as deceased. [check]

- Infected leaning against a wall are visible on the other side of the wall and can be shot. Screenshot [check]

- Quite often after the respawn timer is done you get stuck in "entering spawn mode" and are not given a ghost. Original thread [check]

- Infected sometimes get spawned "behind" the level and are unable to rush to the survivor as they're blocked from the clipping. (Seen in noclip, they still can be heard) [check]

- Opening doors pushes survivors and infected which stand in front of it away. If a infected gets between a door and a wall in tight spaces (f.i. Apartment bathrooms), he won't go AROUND the door, but will start to beat the door to pieces. [check]

- Infected spawned ontop of wooden boxes often have path finding issues and keep raging against the box. [check]

- In Versus mode, if someone is hanging from a ledge you can be auto-spawned next to them as an Infected in mid-air and promptly plummet to your death, resulting in a wasted spawn. [check]

- If there is an object nearby, sometimes it acts as an invisible wall, and blocks some parts of the infected from being shot. [check]


-Tank-

- Switch control of tank when in death animation causes the tank to get health back. [*unconfirmed!]

- If a player has control of the Tank and dies right before they lose control, a new Tank is spawned. [*unconfirmed!]

- Tank can hit survivors through walls if his punch can reach them. [check]

- Often the game chooses a player with low points to become tank even if the highest rated player wasn't tank before. [check]

- Path finding issues: Especially tanks climb the same obstacle again and again only to climb down and repeat. Often occurs on cars, vans and rooms full of props (f.i. Blood Harvest Finale living room downstairs). Screenshot [check]

- Rarely the tank may spawn in fire. [check]

- Sometimes tanks spawn without music in versus mode. [check]

- Tanks thrown projectiles seem to travel through several obstacles and the saferoom door window. [check]

- Tank can throw rocks through windows without actually breaking them. [check]

- Taking over the control of a tank may get you stuck until you jump. [check]

- Placeholder bots for tanks may cause the finale to never start or end. [check]

- Leaving the game as tank may cause the tank to become uncontrolled. [check]

- Concrete pieces from tanks may "follow" a survivor even if he breaks out of his previous movement direction. [check]

- "Everyone gets a chance to be the tank before anyone gets to do it a second time." doesn't work. Sometimes the same player gets tank again and again. [check]

- Tank can get stuck in the closed doors of the subway cars and in the ceiling ontop of them. [check]

- Tanks often run backwards. [check]


-Witch-

- If the witch spawns in the doorway of an usable door and it is opened/closed into her it will instantly break and she will run away as if she has killed someone. [check]

- The witch can still be exploited and triggered from other boss infected. [check]

- Witches spawn in weird unreachable places or cars since the first big patch. Screenshot 1/////Screenshot 2 [check]

- After the recent big patch, the AI Director sometimes spawns more than one witch. (NO sv_cheats 1 issue!) Screenshot [check]

- Witches may attack and kill infected players. [check]

- Strangled survivors may be pushed back from the hunters pounce impact. Screenshot [check]

- Seldom hunters being meleed off a target still glide over the ground in their ripping animation. This seems to be caused when the hunter still presses crouch. [check]

- If you catch fire as a hunter and are able to get on a survivor, you suddenly stop burning. If you get knocked off, you'll catch fire again. [check]

- In No Mercy Hospital you can jump out of the roof windows and out of the level. Screenshot

- When standind on a handrail and being pounced by a hunter, friends cannot free you by melee. [check]

- On No Mercy 4 in the elevator hunters may be invincible to bullets. [check]

- Hunters may be able to glitch leap through closed saferoom doors when a survivor stands behind it. [check]

- AI hunters seem to be able to melee and pounce at the same time. [check]

- Occasionally, teammates will be completely unable to shoot hunters off of teammates. [check]

- Director spawns bosses incorrectly. It is obvious in Versus mode when sometimes you can have up to 3 or 4 hunters simultaneously. [check]


-Smoker-

- NM3, there's a rooftop with a small ledge. If you stand in this area as a Smoker, you can't shoot your tongue. You don't actually stand on the white ledge itself. Screenshot 1/////Screenshot 2 [check]

- High damage pounces as a hunter on a smoked victim does not grant the high damage. [check]

- Smokers may tongue survivors through the saferoom door. Screenshot [check]

- Smokers cannot pull people to the witch, because the tongue mysteriously breaks if your even NEAR the witch. [check]

- Smokers tongue often failing to hit after the recent big patch. [check]

- Smokers aim at one target, but may grab a separate target slightly to the left or right of the intended target. [*patched?]

- If you are constricted by a smoker and hit by a tank during, you will take no damage from the tank but will be launched flying as usual. [check]

- If you claw attack the SMOKER, he will release his prey. But if you claw attack the human being strangled, he will not get released. [check]

- As a smoker, after somebody freed your victim, you will stand stunned 1 second without being able to run away before you gain the control over the smoker back. [check]

- Occasionally smokers will drag a survivor and will get them caught on an object and 'strangle' them, but this does not seem to actually cause damage even if it should. [check]

- When a smoker drags a player at the same time he closes a door, he will be dragged and the door will close this results in the players model being visible from the smokers side of the door while he is actually still on the other side. [check]

- Rarely, smokers may pull players through INTACT CLOSED doors. [check]


-Boomer-

- Vomitting on survivors anew often won't trigger another panic event. [check]

- Irregular hordes attracted from vomit attacks as boomer. Sometimes one covered player spawns a huge horde, sometimes four covered survivors won't trigger more than 10 infected. [check]

- Boomers can't vomit through infected or players. If survivors stand PARTLY in front of another, you can't cover the one behind properly even if you see and hit him. This way survivors become shielded from bile even if you clearly see and "hit" them with vomit. [check]

- Exploding bile showers won't affect survivors directly ontop or under you. [check]

- AI boomers having problems to find to survivors and going to jump off buildings without survivors underneath them. [check]

- Boomers explosion may push survivors out of the elevator in No Mercy and get them stuck, unable to reach the top floor. [*unconfirmed!]

- As a boomer, sometimes you won't explode when you die. Screenshot [check]

- Boomers are visible behind doors as their belly sticks out. [check]

- As boomer, puking on already covered players does NOT lenghten their vomit effect nor the panic event. [check]

- Boomer sometimes can't vomit over and through some objects properly. Such as over the pipes in No Mercy in the room with the huge gas tanks before the sewer. [check]

- When using your vomit attack on survivors, being meleed or killed forces the bile to magically disappear while in mid-air. If the survivor kills you before the vomit lands on the survivors, it simply magically disappears. [check]

- Some breakable walls in No Mercy hospital won't break. [check]

- In single player No Mercy, if you drop through the window into the bedroom instead of taking the stairs, the bots will take the stairs instead of jumping in with you. [check]

- In level 3 (Sewers) of No Mercy: After blowing up the gas station and after the initial fire dies down, the remaining fire is not visible on lower graphics settings. Players may not even know there is fire there. [check]

- In level 4 of No Mercy (inside the hospital, especially in versus) players inside the elevator will not attract a swarm/infected if vomited on or boomer-explode-biled. [check]

- Quote: "I was playing versus on the 3rd No Mercy map[Sewers] and we were almost at the top of the lift when a hunter pounced the person closest to the awning you get on. We all stumbled back and fell off of the lift, right as we fell off the ladder was coming down and it went right through us freezing us in midair, we couldn't use our weapons or do anything. The horde on the ground where attacking us as if we were on the ground but we were far out of their reach." [check]

- In No Mercy part 3, you can get stuck in the scissor elevator. If you get incapacitated on it while its moving up, you just sink into it unreachable for any infected. Screenshot [check]

- Survivors can end up in places unreachable by other players. Quote: "In Farm003 we had just blown up the bridge and cleared most infected. I was standing on one of the train wagons with a hunter just below me. Jumped down to kick his ___ but somehow he pounced me and we both flew/slided up into the woods, while in the mounted attack position. My teammates killed the hunter but I was incapped and there was no way for them to get up there. Had to wait until I bled to death and couldn't recover med kit, weapon and pipe bomb. Screenshot [check]


-Death Toll-

- DT4 at the crescendo event, you can die if you crouchjump between the car and the obstacle. Video [check]

- Inside the safehouse of DT1, there is a hand-drawn map of the sewers right next to the entrance door. Once the map changes to DT2, the same map becomes a grid, and the map is nowhere in the safehouse. [check]

- DT2: Sewers lamp not attached to the wall. Screenshot [check]

- You can't climb this ladder after the trainyard. Screenshot [check]

- Unreachable place in the Church crescendo event here: Screenshot [check]

- In Death Toll finale in the water behind the house, if you have say 30hp and you drown and get revived, you will gain about 50hp with some solid hp as well as some limited hp. [check]

- On Death Toll final stage, you can't jump onto the boat until it is stationary. Trying to do so will launch you into the water or back the dock into the horde. [check]

- Death Toll part 4: Grab yourself a sniper rifle, get to the offices and try sniping infected down the alley with the forklift, through the windows. Be sure to zoom in. You will notice that as soon as you shoot through the glass the sniper rifle will get out of the zoomed mode. It should stay zoomed. [check]


-Dead Air-

-DA2, it is possible to jump from the roofs, onto the tree located behind the semi (in front of the safehouse/pawn shop) and then onto the trailer and skip the offices entirely. Screenshot please! [check]

- Dead Air Stage 4 Safe Room: the hanging light bulb is not in contact with the light entity and as a result if you use the ladder and look at the bulb from above you can see the bulb and the light entity are separated. [check]

I encountered a tank at single player advance, and the tank pummeled Louis to death on the side with the health box. There's this plank connecting 2 office building. I retreat back to the other building, AI Francis is at the room that has the plank, while I and AI Bill ducked into the room adjacent, and Bill shut the door. I presumed that the Tank would pummel Francis to death, then I hear that the music stops. I opened the door, and Francis is alive and well. There was no tank corpse to be seen. Perhaps he fell off the plank?" [check]

These NATted servers can be connected via the normal matchmaking lobby. Checking the console after a failed connect reveals the cause: [L4DMM] CMatchmaking::ResolveDedicatedAddress(192.168.0.12 :27015).
L4D matchmaker somehow digs up the internal IP address, instead of the external one, even if the game does connect to the correct external IP initially (console shows the external IP as well, before resolving it again to the internal one).

Achievement bugs:


- Lambs 2 slaughter community Achievement will NOT register for anyone. FIX[check]

- Steamcommunity achievement stats don't update. FIX [check]

- Quote: "Played the first 4 levels of Death Toll (and the team used health or disturbed a witch at least once), and we experienced lag caused by the server. To fix this, i switched to a local server, had all the same people join in on the game, and played the last level of Death Toll (only). None of us used health packs or disturbed a witch, but only in the 5th level... on the first 4, we all used health, and we disturbed at least one witch... but we got the two achievements according to the stated above." [*unconfirmed!]

- Description typo: "Survive a campaign without being incapacitated.C" [check]

- You can cheat achievements with an exploit. [check]

- "UNBREAKABLE Finish a campaign without ever using a first aid kit on yourself." is wrong described: It should mean "... without being healed by others or yourself". [check]

- The "achievement updated" sound plays every time if you protect a survivor even though you already have the body guard achievement. [check]

- In the german version, if someone on the server earns an achievement, the game shows the following message: " hat folgende Errungenschaft erhalten ?ACHIEVEMENTNAME", (" has earned the following achievement: ?ACHIEVEMENTNAME"). Without showing the name. [*patched?]

- If you melee a boomer away from you before he spews on you, but after you melee him he spews on you, killing him will still give you the clean kill achievement. [*unconfirmed!]

- Often, completing a campaign and surviving does not unlock the achievement (survive the No Mercy campaign and other 3 campaigns). Sometimes a few people earn it and others don't. Original thread Reason: If your on a slower computer that doesn't load the game fast enough, the openeing cinematic will play without you and the game starts. Once you're done loading you join the game but the system doesn't count you as being in the game 100% of the time, therefore at the end of campaign you lose the achievement. [check]

- Just as three of my teammates (single player) hit the chopper on No Mercy I was struck by a tank and incapacitated. The credits rolled...I was listed as "In memorium" but also as surviving...and I got my achievement. [check]

[greenday5493]

add a matchmaking section. that thing is buggy as hell

[Kamer]

Switching weapons after every melee lets you melee at a faster rate.

[fakiyo]

So please post your bugs and found issues here, I'll try to keep this up even when the full game releases. Screenshots and confirms are appreciated.

[UmNomNomOmNom]

ULTRA MAJOR SERVER JOIN GLITCH: Using the "OpenServerBrowser" standard join window to join any game will result in an instant "Connection Failed" window, the same result if you use the console command "connect 68.177.101.98:27015" (checked, recheck, verified, reverified, & absolutly frustrating)... This RUNIS any potential for custom servers & maps! OMGWT#RUDoing Valve?!!!!

M-A-J-O-R zombie horde glitch: Survivor can stop on ladder (1~5 feet from top) and block a boomer vomit horde from pouring in and recieve no damage from zombies standing on head. Zombies will just stand, stuck in 'dropping' pose until shot by rest of team. Falling zombies should at least bump survivors down (or off) ladder, if not even beating them down it...or mabey pull them up

MAJOR Boomer Pop glitch: If killed while standing on survivors head, they receive no spray. (drop out of vent or down ladder and are shot till exploded while on head)(FIXED)

Boobmer vomit aim glitch: Vomit does not hit target when shot up stairways unless you aim twice the height over survivor head. (i.e. have to shoot somewere other than at target)

Boomber explosion spray glitch: Explosion Radious is almost perfectly horizontal. (Is this a glitch or is he a U.S. military claymore directional mine?)

Tank Glitch #1: durring expert mode in subway, have tank chase you back to subway starting spawn, 25~50% of time he will fail to follow you up to that level and will die without a shot fired at the foot of the rocks.

Tank Glitch #2: if he does follow you up, run in and close door and stay right in front of door, he will swipe at you instead of hitting down door, but door will not break and you will not get dammaged.. fire away!!!

NOTE - if you back away from the door, your toast. he will smash down the door and pound you into dust.

[Popsicle]

When i try to reload, sometimes ive had time where the weapon has jammed - ive had to melee once for it to reload.

Don't know if its done on purpose, though.

[GuyP]

Someone please sticky this thread! Can't believe there hasn't been a stickied bug reportin' thread so far.

Anyway, connection issue:

Extreme lag (2000+ pings) in the saferoom at the beginning of No Mercy Pt 2: The Subway. Problem resolves once character is out of saferoom and onto stairs facing into turnstile hall - curiously, you can "Take a break" and spectate smoothly, lag only happens when you're controlling the survivor. Several threads on this, most recently:

http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...d.php?t=750793

Graphics issue:

General missing textures / graphics "all black" problem, several threads on it, most recently here:

http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...d.php?t=744896

[jaytheham]

- Some death animations / ragdolls behave so strange/ don't get affected from gravity soon enough, which makes them seem as if they're still alive, resulting in ammo waste.

This doesn't seem like a bug at all but an intended effect. Not everyone is going to drop stone dead to the ground once you kill them. The way some infected continue to run a few steps or very slowly slide/slump to the ground is imo a very realistic and immersive feature of the game.
If a player is so twitchy that they continue to shoot such infected then that's their problem, it's quite possible to very quickly learn how many hits it takes to kill one.
I thoroughly enjoy this feature.

[Ultimoose]

Shooting the hunter out of the air is as intended. It's mentioned in one or two of the dev commentary videos where... I forget his name is grouped with people at a demo showing and they're dong the finale of no mercy.

[Metroid48]

I can't agree with all of these as some are incorrect:

1. It is intended that you can knock hunters out of the air with melee - it's an achievement after all.
2. The tank is not intended to break down saferoom doors on difficulties below Expert.
3. The witch is supposed to run away after it kills its first victim or loses the target - it's a one-victim deal. Its vanishing out of sight is intended to the best of my knowledge.
4. The console has never worked on non-american keyboards. This applies to previous source games as well.
5. While there are a few cases where the lower gravity produces odd ragdolls, for all intents and purposes it is an intended feature.
6. Here is a better screenshot of a hunter attacking a witch: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/2...subway0ge8.jpg

Sometimes in the second level the shiny surfaces such as walls and the tiled pillars (red ones) will give off a pink and black square reflection kinda thing. Many people have experienced this. Turning left4dead on and off fixes it for me and sometimes joining a new game will fix it.

this has also happened to me on garrysmod. I was running a different graphics card but same problem.
