Any ideas? I could not find anything else on google about this error.

Delete the local content and re-download it.

Thanks for letting me know it worked for you

Didn't work for me.

Probably because I bought it at the store.

If you have the disc from the store, then I would try stopping Steam, and then deleting the left 4 dead folder and all it's contents, then reinstall off the disc.

Sorry didn't work.
Thanks anyway.

Do you have that file in your left 4 dead/bin folder?

**francoisc91** · 02-08-10, 12:46 PM

Yes it is there.

Hmmm...what OS do you have? When you installed the game, did you install it under an Administrator account? I am wondering if it may be a Windows permissions issue with the file.

Try going to the Properties of the unicode file and click on the Security tab and see what permissions you have under the account you logged onto Windows with.
