Damit 2 and Diescraper Redux updated

Both campaigns have been updated to their respective latest version. Please note that both have changed the name of their VPK-file, so you need to remove the old one and replace it with the new file.

I have not been able to test the updates yet, but the servers are up and ready to go.

Most custom l4d2 campaigns re-enabled

After a bit of input from Valve, and some trial and horror, it seems like survivor models from l4d1 is the culprit:

We corrected an issue with add-ons in Monday’s update that allows models to be overridden in coop mode (as we allowed before The Passing update). I’m wondering if there is some sort of conflict with add-ons that include models and how we load the L4D1 Survivor models in The Passing.

Does this precache error occur in Versus mode? We don’t allow model overrides from vpk add-ons in competitive game modes (versus/scavenge).

We’ve disabled No Mercy 2, but the other custom campaigns should work.

Left 4 Dead 2 update released – Valve screws up again

Updates to Left 4 Dead 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Left 4 Dead 2

• Fixed addons content not loading if coop was the first game mode loaded
• Fixed versus modes sometimes using incorrect game rule settings after server hibernation
• Fixed a crash in The Parish: The Park on Linux dedicated servers
• Updated dlc1 Russian UI text

Also Valve breaks the Passing – all custom campaigns (the .vpk files) must be removed from the server and clients in order to start the passing in co-op mode. This means all custom campaigns are temporarily disabled on the servers.

I expect a new patch soon. Way to go Valve.
