Left 4 Dead patch

New patch is out. It adds more achievements, but the real goodness is in the increased ability to co-ordinate attacks as special infecteds.

"The most notable content addition is a timer in the Zombie HUD that counts down the special attack recharge of the other infecteds you’re playing with."

Nice.

Poor L4D connections - a solution?

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."
