After update upon update upon update (wot 3 in 3 days or so server side?) breaking and fixing and adding and removing serverbrowserydoodoo I've implemented the new but still buggy-as-fuck steam community settings

In theory - you start the game and if you are a member of the Festers Place steam group (if not, why the fuck not?) you get the servers listed on the bottom of the menu screen, or if you go into 'Play campaign' and select the 'Steam Community Group' option, you get the servers listed

In theory - Only members of the group get to see and/or join games

In practice - The servers seem to show in the list when they feel like it, and once a person from the group connects, any public person can connect to the game server

These are known bugs and Valve are working on it...

l4d; great game, absolutely god-awful server management

LOL

just looking at the l4d achievements -

ZOMBIE GENOCIDEST
Kill 53,595 Infected.

Why 53595 ?

Google told me that in Dead Rising there was an achievement "Zombie Genocider" in which you had to kill 53,594 Infected(why 53,594? population of the town it's set in)

Valve went one better, those wacky and zany cats !!

Steam Release @ 6 am, we will see.. *g* But now sleep.. nn

I'M CONFUSED!!!

Ok, two 4 player campaign servers up and running...

But I dunno what the startup map should be

The game intro implies that it's the demo level (hospital)
The mapcycle implies it's the farm
The mission cycle implies it is the airport
Documentation, as always, is non-existent

So for now, it's set to the hospital
Shout if you know it to be otherwise

No vs mode as yet. Play through the campaign first!
Server 1 is on advanced
Server 2 is on expert

Well trying to think logically ( ) the hospital sounds the most likely start location, esp after seeing 28 days later. No doubt it will crop up soon on the internet pipes

A bit marketing....
