Left 4 dead 2 is not responding

**marcusrenfro774** · 05-30-10, 04:14 PM

Okay. While I'm playing versus, playing offline, scavenge, (idk about campaign or realism), gamebooster helps stop the freezing.

But on the loading screen, the loading bar (or the thing around the 4) stops and moves constantly. And I want to know how to fix that. And btw, when the game starts, everyone has already left the safe room or has made it half-way through the safe room.

can someone help me, thanks.

If I recall, you have a computer that is below minimum specs, but you managed to get it to work by using the Gamebooster, correct?

If this is true, then your PC is probably taking longer than usual to load the game, which is most likely why you get into the game last when your buddies have already started.

Oh, IT's fine with gamebooster.

But I need to know how to fix it.

OK, look. There is only so much we can do to help you. You said that when you did a scan with Can You Run It, it said your system was not up to minimum specs.

I don't know what your machine specs are because I asked you twice to post your dxdiag information and you didn't do it, you just posted a little blurb that said nothing about your CPU speed, and had no information about your graphics card. I even posted a link in my signature to tell people how to post their dxdiag information, but you evidently did not see it, or chose to ignore it.

To top it all off, you got snippy when somebody didn't respond fast enough for you!

I and other staff members went to a lot of trouble to put together over a dozen sticky threads with information specifically designed to help gamers such as yourself. One thread in particular deals with the issue of minimum specs.

Have you read this one yet

It appears that you purchased a game that your computer is not powerful enough to run. If your machine does not meet at LEAST the minimum specs, you will always have performance issues with lag, slow loading, graphics displays, or other problems that detract from your gaming experience.

okay, fine ill tell you my dxdiag but i am not posting it again after this post:

Current Date: May 31, 2010
Computer name: User-Pc
Language: English
System manufacturer: Dell
Sytem model: Dimension C521
BIOS: )Phoenix - Award WorkstationBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ (2 cPU), ~2.0GHz
Memory: 1022MB RAM
Page file: 966MB used, 3018MB available
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

And my sound (or video) card is: Radeon X13000 Series

Now, thats my last time posting my dxdiag.

Edit: And also, Gamebooster clean some RAM (if you didnt know) and helps stop the freezing (it also makes the loading faster, except after playing a chapter in versus). I'm just asking to see if I can fix it without Gamebooster.

**marcusrenfro774** · 06-05-10, 03:17 PM

Okay, it sort of worked when I ran the game as administrator but it kind of worked and I can't garentee you that it worked.

again, my dxdiag is above this post if you have not read it.

Gamebooster isnt magic. If your computer is below minimum specs, it isnt gonna run properly, as Iggy is saying.

**imported_Target Practice** · 06-05-10, 08:13 PM

Gamebooster or not, you try running L4D2 with only 1GB of RAM, and you're going to run into issues. Your computer either just barely scrapes or doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Sorry, but I think you're going to need a slightly better machine - those freezes are likely caused because your computer just isn't fast enough to process the amount of information L4D2 is kicking out in one go.

**marcusrenfro774** · 06-18-10, 12:11 PM

Okay, it seems that I have cured the freezing by turning off the Developer console and changed all settings to low. Now when I play the game, it does not freeze that much (like 1 or 2 times a round) gameplay is much more smoother, and I don't need Gamebooster. The loading is a LITTLE faster in Campaign and when start a Versus or scavenge game. But it is still slow after loading a new versus level after the previous one.

I'll let you know when something change.
