Seems that the dedicated server thing is a known problem for L4D players outside of the States.
I did a bit of digging around, and XboxConnect kept springing up as a solution. It is compelling. I just need someone like Leigh to tell me why it won't work, or better yet, install it and make it work.
"XBConnect is software that runs on your PC and will let you play Microsoft Xbox/360 games and Sony PSP games with players from around the world. Imagine plugging your Xbox/360 or PSP into a LAN that went around the planet. Load up Halo, Halo 2, Rainbow Six 3 or any other compatible game and you can play with people all over the world. Thats what we do for you. You dont have to pay for expensive online gaming services anymore. Gone are the days of being stuck with career modes. If you got a PC, broad band internet and a game console, then all you need is XBConnect."

ReplyDeleteFirst things first: L4D + lots of people + versus mode = fuck yeah.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I used a similar system (xlink kai) on my XBox 1 to get online. I had thought that Microsoft had blocked that as an option for 360 by checking ping times for LAN games and stopping the LAN session if it was too slow to be on a real local network.
Anyway, some people have found a glitchy hacky way to force L4D to run locally, so I think we'll be all good next time we jump on.
