Hi nosTEAM games! I am trying to play Left 4 Dead 2 but I am running into an issue. Whenever I try to run "play-l4d2.exe" or the windowed version I get this error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I can successfully run it from left4dead2.exe though, but when I do that I get a warning that I am running with the '-insecure' flag set so I am not able to play online.
Steps I did:
Installed Left 4 Dead 2 repack v_2.1.4.6
Installed DirectX update patch
Installed Framework for-Games (I get an error for Framework 3.5, it says I have to use turn on/off features because I am using Windows 7, so I installed 3.5 through that means instead)
Installed Visual C++ 2005-2022 pack (I also get an error here for the 2017 redist, you just mispelled the .exe names in your script I supposed, so I ran them manually)
Launch L4D2 (this is when I get the runtime closed in an unusual way error)
Can you help me with this issue? If not, could you share the source for play-l4d2.exe so I can debug it? Thank you for this game and for your help!
