There's a tutorial somewhere in the Steam Discussions for L4D2 that teaches users how to revert their game to the Pre-Last Stand version, mainly for people who dislike the update. That's probably what he is using.

Must be visual only. Last I checked the data tables would need to be modified to revert back to old server engine.

A hell of a late reply, but since I'm still running Left for Dead 2.1.5.5 in 2022, I'll answer the question. I run the old version first and foremost because TLS broke a number of key mods I use in singleplayer that I consider base game by this point. Secondly, I hated every exploit "fix" in the update - it ruined the fun for me and the boys on both local multiplayer and versus servers that we were having for a damn decade.

And, yeah, always back up whole directories before updating stuff, kids - saves you a lot of tears.

Hi, after checking cache integrity I'm having the following log problems:

Update the gamedata file, and maybe the plugin too.

I use Plugin_Handled and return players back to safe area, but survivors can not trigger this function second time.

I guess it breaks too much when blocking, nothing I can do to fix that function.

Seems like that's something with the game logic not triggering the function, nothing can be done. This is something triggered in Versus when the a player tank is losing control.

I can checck if the gamedata is using the wrong signature which maybe the reason it's not triggering.

Have you verified it works? I can open this up to L4D1 then.

I use Plugin_Handled and return players back to safe area, but survivors can not trigger this function second time.

Investigated and found that in Director::Update a boolean is always set before Director::OnFirstSurvivorLeftSafeArea is called, which also decides whether director should keep checking survivors' positions.

Partial pseudocode:

PHP Code:

if ( !*((_BYTE *)this + 356) || !*((_BYTE *)this + 357) )
  {
    v43 = 0;
    v44 = 0;
    v45 = 0;
    v46 = 0;
    v47 = 0;
    ptr = 0;
    v49 = 0;
    v50 = 0;
    v51 = 0;
    v52 = 0;
    *(float *)&v41 = 0.0;
    v42 = 0;
    ForEachPlayer<SurvivorsInSafeArea>(&v41);
    if ( v42 > 0 )
    {
      if ( !*((_BYTE *)this + 356) )
      {
        *((_BYTE *)this + 356) = 1;
        Director::OnFirstSurvivorLeftSafeArea(this, *(CTerrorPlayer **)ptr);
      }
      if ( *(float *)&v41 == 0.0 && !*((_BYTE *)this + 357) )
      {
        if ( (*((_BYTE *)this + 357) = 1, !*((_BYTE *)this + 639)) && !Director::m_isTransitioning
          || Director::m_isScenarioRestart )
        {
          *((_DWORD *)this + 386) = *((_DWORD *)this + 385);
          ForEachSurvivor<DispatchPlayerMissionStarted>();
        }
      }
    } 


While in L4D2 the boolean check and assignment is completed inside Director::OnFirstSurvivorLeftSafeArea, therefore I think this is the reason why blocking the function results differently on both games.

Offsets for both Linux and Windows on L4D1, hope it would be helpful:

Director->m_bFirstSurvivorLeftStartArea
Linux: 356, Windows: 360

// additionally found
Director->m_bLastSurvivorLeftStartArea
Linux: 357, Windows: 361
