I've seen it once. If you play in Expert Mode you notice one of the normal ways you can go is blocked off with a fience. I was laughing cause I though it would do it more naturally like a storm coming in and throwing objects to block your path but instead the game was like "I'm just going to put a wall there."

Its only the Demo and its missing a lot of stuff that the orginal game is going to have. The Demo isn't doing the Full game justice so of course its going to seem like an Add on at this point.

Demo has
Missing Weapons (Axe, Grenade Launcher, etc...)
Missing Ammo
Missing Weather AI
Missing more blocked Paths
Missing Versus Mode
Missing Maps/Story (Obviously)
Missing Fun, etc...
Missing Performance it should have

Thats what a demo is, they dangle the bare minimum at you so that when you play it makes you want to see those weather effects and other included weapons and maps. But then again if you say its ''missing fun'', i doubt the full game will hold your interest.

Of course I'm just pointing it out for those who doubt it. I was joking about the Missing Fun, it was meant as a joke. Of course ITS FUN! Lots of It!

Thats good to know, thanks fellas. . Did the trick, getting 200+ fps now.

Just to be clear there are in fact AI multiple paths in the demo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20QvHpwHb3s that video makes me giggle everytime i watch it

I'm sure there will be an easy way to "patch" the game to the full version or just get someone to gift you a full non-Aus copy if you havn't preordered.

lol I saw what its like on youtube. Totally wack. What difference is that going to make anyways? Is there no age rating system in Australia? So people of a mature audience can play it normally or is everyone in Australia under 17? Sounds to me like your government is run by children that or zombies.

Only way you can change it is if you start a revolution, riot and show them just how violent the real world can get and have them try to Censor that shit.

don't you think l4d 2 needs some more optimisation?

I've seen it a few times - they just stand next to you AFAIK but i normally don't let em get that close - arms or not. I like the effect where if you hit them just right in the gut they still run at you leaving a trail of intestines behind them

its definitely not your 4870X2... The game runs flawlessly on my two 4870 1GB cards.

Also The game is running @1920x1200 All max settings, x8 AA x16 AF. vertical sync off.

I think its an issue with the X2 not crossfire itself. In other words its a game problem I guess.

Changing the app id in a couple of the game files resulted in the demo being uncensored. If valve has any balls, they'll leave the current system in place.
