So, i installed Steam on my mac. I allready purchased l4d2 at the steam site, so i only had to go back on my mail and accept. After this i started the download, but now when i try to start it, i get a error saying something like:''Uncomplete installation of Left 4 Dead 2 (2)''. What can i do to make it run?

Are you on a version prior to 8.1.4? If so, possibly this:

Anyone who can help me?

Try Jack's suggestion here of deleting the bottle and reinstalling the bottle.

This isn't an official support system so people will respond when they see it if they can.

Cool, ill check out if that works. Thanks for your help

No problem, post back if you're still having problems with your Mac hardware and which version of MAC OS X and whatever other information might help.

I'm now reinstalling L4D2 i hope this might work. My OSX version = 10.6.2

If that doesn't work do what's been suggested: install it to a new new bottle. I also have 10.6.2 and cxgames 8.1.4 and my l4d2 works (relatively) perfectly (relatively meaning my graphics card sucks and therefore i'm saving money for a enw imac...)

good luck

Yeah i'll do that if it doesnt work.

Thanks everyone :)

If you're still having problems after this, post back with the machine and graphics card you're running it on. ie, MacBook Pro with Nvidia 9400/9600M.

well, i reinstalled L4D2, tried to start it up and it still gave the error message. I deleted the old bottle, how can i put l4d2 in a new bottle?

Someone? It'll probably take another 10 hours to download..

I don't know about mac, but in linux I can run cxbottlemanager, tell it to create a new bottle, and then let it install steam into it. Then start steam and download l4d2. In mac you probably do something similar.

Create a new bottle using the Steam (Download) install option in Crossover Games 8.1.4 then when it finishes, open up Steam and tell it to install L4D2.

Okay, ill see if it works :)

Thanks everyone, it runs! :)

can i suggest right clicking the game, going into properties, then click set launch options and add the following

-lv -novid

then play in fullscreen and it should be way better (lv = low violence)

it basically means low violence, which is better performance etc, and novid is just so it doesn't show the intro

Oh, and on youtube i saw video's where body parts etc. were shot off, when i played i didnt see this, did l4d2 do this because i would lagg? And why would u not show the intro? Does the intro lagg the rest of your gameplay, because i didnt have any problems running the intro, maybe i had with the rest of the game because the intro played.. :P

yeah, he must of been running it without -lv.
and the intro is just annoying. lol+

So how do i actually enable this 'flying bodyparts'? :P I just wanna know for in the future, if ive got a windows.

it most likely won't have the -lv command automatically
and if it does, you just do the same thing, except remove -lv.
