Description

Collection of mods to enhance the graphics and audio of Left 4 Dead 2, as well as several gameplay tweaks for higher difficulty gameplay for single player and local hosts. Made primarily for co-op and realism modes.

The collection is a work in progress. More mods will be added as they are discovered, tried, tested, and developed.

➤ It is safe to "subscribe to all" as all mods work together. Any flagged conflicts will not be an issue and the message will be resolved in future.


■ Improved textures & lighting
■ Audio tweaks & additions
■ Minimal HUD display
■ Survivor models
■ Weapons overhaul
■ Local server tweaks
■ Vocalizer for voice lines


Basic Install
If using GeForce Now, just wait for all the mods to install and type "snd_updateaudiocache" into the in-game console. It will take a few moments and will let you know when it is complete. Then play the game like normal. The rest of the steps here do not apply to GeForce now users and can be skipped.

On a local machine, wait for all the mods to finish installing and run the command "snd_rebuildaudiocache" in the in-game console. It will take a few minutes and should let you know when it is compete. If unsure then check the in-game console. Once done, type "quit" into the console and re-launch the game.

Fixes & Patches
For those interested in custom fonts then "gameinfo" section in this guide can help, although no font is currently included in the modlist.

The game crashes on some systems when setting shader details to high. If you have this issue then right click on Left 4 Dead 2 in your steam library, select properties, and paste the following into launch options:
-force_vendor_id 0x10DE -force_device_id 0x0191

Some systems have a weird "dark bug" where the game is really dark. Follow this short guide here for more info. If using the shader details fix mentioned above, then the dark bug fix must be performed last or it will not work.

Extras
➤ Check the additional map collection linked at the bottom for tried and tested, quality, hand-picked maps for Left 4 Dead 2.

➤ Consider swapping out the weapon mods from here with individually picked, high quality weapon mods linked at the bottom.

➤ Find many additional HD textures to install alongside this list using the HD Texture mod list linked right at the bottom.
