How to Launch a Left 4 Dead 2 Server on Windows

Left 4 Dead 2 is a popular zombie survival game that can be played online with your friends. However, if you want to host your own server and customize it to your liking, you will need to use a tool called SteamCMD to download and update the server files. In this article, we will show you how to install and launch a Left 4 Dead 2 server on Windows using SteamCMD.

Step 1: Download and Install SteamCMD

SteamCMD is a command-line tool that allows you to download and update various Steam applications, including game servers. You can download SteamCMD from here. Extract the steamcmd.exe file to a folder on your hard drive, such as C:\\SteamCMD. Run the steamcmd.exe file as administrator to install the tool's files.

Step 2: Download and Install Left 4 Dead 2 Server Files

After installing SteamCMD, you will need to create a folder for your Left 4 Dead 2 server files. You can create a folder anywhere on your hard drive, except within the SteamCMD folder. For example, you can create a folder called C:\\L4D2. Then, open SteamCMD and enter the following commands:

login anonymous

force_install_dir C:\\L4D2

app_update 222860 validate

quit

This will download and install the Left 4 Dead 2 server files to the C:\\L4D2 folder. The process may take some time depending on your internet speed and disk space.

Step 3: Configure and Launch Your Server

Before launching your server, you will need to configure some settings, such as the server name, map, game mode, and password. You can do this by creating a text file called server.cfg in the C:\\L4D2\\left4dead2\\cfg folder. You can use any text editor, such as Notepad, to edit this file. Here is an example of a server.cfg file:

// Server name

hostname \"My L4D2 Server\"

// RCON password

rcon_password \"mypassword\"

// Server password

sv_password \"\"

// Game mode (coop, versus, survival, scavenge)

sv_gametypes \"coop\"

// Map cycle

mapcyclefile \"mapcycle.txt\"

// Execute config files

exec banned_user.cfg

exec banned_ip.cfg

You can customize these settings according to your preferences. You can also add more commands to tweak other aspects of the game, such as difficulty, friendly fire, voting, etc. You can find a list of available commands here.

After saving your server.cfg file, you can launch your server by creating a batch file called start_L4D2.bat in the C:\\L4D2 folder. You can use any text editor to create this file. Here is an example of a start_L4D2.bat file:

@echo off

cd C:\\L4D2

srcds.exe -console -game left4dead2 +ip 0.0.0.0 +port 27015 +exec server.cfg +map c1m1_hotel

This will launch your server in console mode with the specified settings and map. You can change the ip and port values if you want to use a different address or port for your server. You can also change the map value to any map name from the game.

Step 4: Connect to Your Server

To connect to your server, you will need to know its IP address and port number. You can find these by typing status in the server console. Alternatively, you can use a tool like What Is My IP to find your public IP address.
