Left 4 Dead Pc Split Screen
So you want to play Left 4 Dead 2 in split screen mode but only have the PC version? No problem as long as your PC has some thunder under the hood.What you need:- 1 Xbox360 controller for WindowsWhat you should use:- 2 Xbox360 controllers for WindowsWhat to do:- update config- enable console- start playingUpdating the config:The current config only supports one controller.
When valve made Left 4 Dead, they didn't include split screen for the PC, but they did include the code for it. In this I will show you how to get the split screen code working. You will need an Xbox360 controller. Now got into your common/left 4 dead/ left4dead/cfg and find 360controller.cfg open it with notepad(or any other text editor) over write the current code with this one: - unbindall // Prevent mouse/keyboard control when gamepad is in use (to prevent autoaim exploit) joystick 1 joyadvanced '1' // use advanced joystick options (allows for multiple axes) joyname 'L4D Xbox360 Joystick Configuration' joyadvaxisx 3 // x-axis controls GAMEAXISSIDE (strafing left and right) joyadvaxisy 1.
To change this open the 360controller.cfg in your steamappscommonleft4dead2cfg folder (somewhere in the Steam directories).At the bottom there are some bind commands regarding the controller.

Then start the game.Start the game:Now start the game and in the console type:exec 360controller.cfg (or whatever you have called the file)sssplitmode 1/2 (1 = horizontal, 2 = vertical)ssenable 1 (enables splitscreen mode)Now create a SinglePlayer game and you should be set. Otherwise try the following:ssconnect to add the second player.Start a Splitscreen game by entering: ssmap MAPNAMETo get the map name simply check the auto completion feature of the console.When the game is loaded you still have only one screen, so enter:connectsplitscreen localhost 2 and after a bit of loading you will be ready to go.If the second player has no team, type:cmd2 jointeam 2That should be it.
There are some other ss commands if I remember correctly. Simply check the console, it should show them.It might be neccesary to enable Controller usage in the game menu.It is also possible to play other game modes.
Simply add the game modes name after the map-command: ssmap MAPNAME versus. Haven't really tested this but it should work. How to turn off incognito mode on chrome netflix. Perhaps further changes are needed. Actually i'm going to play with my girlfreind as soon as i get home.
