Games definitely better in co-op. I found the bots in this version worse than the first.

Yeah, a couple of times I found myself hanging off an edge or getting scrapped by a Hunter while they all stood there loading their weapons. And they always seem to help out another bot in trouble before they'll help you. Thanks team players!

PC game is really quite buggy actually. So far, according to their forums it seems a plenty of people experience some or even all of the below. All 5 of our L4D group have had the below every time we've played at some point. Getting a little annoying now because these bugs often have the potential to trash a finale. Not too bad when it's early in the campaign, you just start again, but when it's during the final push and then you bug out, grrr.

* Randomly minimises to desktop
* Alters microphone settings so you hear the input down your speakers constantly (XP)
* Random bug with the charger, that after he grabs you and is then killed, you're stuck on the spot. Only fix is to restart the map, or kill the stuck player and revive them with the shock paddles, but even that is about a 50% chance of freeing them.
* Bots are generally just crap. They often bug out, freezing on the spot and getting hit by zombies until going down. Not firing any weapon until they're incapacitated. Also incapable of freeing you from a jockey or smoker sometimes and just melee against a wall metres away from you. FFS

Hopefully they will fix these over the next few months, but compared to how smooth the first one was, I can't help but feel the sequel was a little rushed and not properly tested in parts.

I have that in all steam games, it's caused by the new POS AVG update in most cases.

Ditch AVG and get the free antivirus Microsoft now offer (Microsoft Security Essentials), it's far less intrusive.

No AVG here.

Try closing out every program in the task bar and just running Left4Dead. I've seen even things like Windows Live Messenger cause odd games to minimise under odd circumstances.

Yeah I already do really, MSN, Netdrive, Rainalendar all get closed for gaming. Also, I don't get it with any other game but L4D2.
