2- In game, go to options and enable "Developer console".
3- Add -console to your Left 4 Dead 2 shortcut. Right click L4D2 shortcut -> select properties -> look for the "Target" line and add -console to the end:
"C:\ProgramFiles\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2.exe" -console
4- Add -console to your Garena bootstrap parameters
Check version info: In game, type version in console to see your game version information.
Disable Intro Videos: Add -novid to your Garena Settings bootstrap parameters or Left 4 Dead 2 launch options.Right click L4D2 shortcut, select properties, and at the "Target" line and add -novid:"C:\ProgramFiles\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2.exe" -console -novid

[Problem] "Invalid PROTOCOL_VERSION, expecting 2002, got 2001" [Solution] "Expecting 2002" = your game version. "got 2001" = server version.The invalid protocol error occurs when you connect to a server that is running a different version than yours. Make sure you are connecting to an updated server that matches your version.
[Problem] Your string table differs from the server's / Server uses different class table. [Solution] This error is caused when you try to connect to a server that is running a custom map or campaign that you do not have. It can also be caused by games with different versions.
[Problem] After updating the game, the sound has a lot of static and noise especially if someone uses a moltov. [Solution]The problem is caused by a bad soundcache.To fix it go here: Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/maps/soundcacheDelete "_master.cache" - the game will rebuild it with newer files.OR you can fix it in-game with by typing: snd_rebuildaudiocache in console.
[Problem] How to change ingame name? Change name in left 4 dead 2/rev or run console command name followed by your name.
