Patching A (New) Left 4 Dead  And Playing It On Garena Guide




Chapter 1: Starting Your Left 4 Dead

Once You Get The Left 4 Dead Downloaded Onto Your PC.
The now You need to do the following two Steps.

and Type Version in the Console's Commands Field.

as of now everyone is using Version 1.0.1.4



(1.0.1.4 is  Highly Reccommended Since The Server Browser with 1.0.1.5 And 1.0.1.6 Crashes The Game)

Make sure you Highlight "Left 4 Dead" Folder, then press Install Button

<>Correct Patch Installation. Once You Open The Patch Version .exe, Make sure you highlight the "Left 4 Dead".
Here is a Detailed Example To Installing it in the Correct Folder Directory

Install "PatchVersionName.exe to the Left 4 Dead Folder Directory,
Depending on how you have your left 4 Dead Folders, here's a Detailed Example.

Or Just Simply ---Left 4 Dead--- Main Folder.
Example Screenshot:




Okay, now if you have your first main Folder as Left 4 Dead, and as you open that folder and inside that folder
is also "Left 4 Dead", then as you open that folder there will be many other folders as well as left4dead,
and the "left4dead.exe" down in the middle.

Now This is to be installed in the Main Left 4 Dead Folder, that contains the left4dead folder. and the "left4dead.exe"
Such as Left 4 Dead >//Highlight "Left 4 Dead"\\ < Within that folder. and then install.

Some people just has left 4 Dead and as they open that, all the folders appears, along with left4dead.
