Ya I fixed the issues with this map in the fixed version. It has to do with all the rain etc. It's one of several problems with this campaign. All of which were fixed in the fixed version.

well, i've try this map few time and yes, it did crash with me but not my friends. I think the crashing issue on chapter 2 was a small prob that happened to some people, maybe the pc/laptop is not strong enough to playing game like laptop gaming or PC. Only chapter 2, the other chapters were fine without any problem.

It crashed for me and my friend at chapter 2

i'm not saying I don't believe you or your friends / team mates
just that it sounds familiar as far as it was something we already fixed
and it's still only just a few users saying anything
like i said, make sure you've got our latest versions as these are official
could be possible you're not playing the proper fixed versions
Time Lord will most likely eventually see these comments, though
so when there's some time, we'll do some more investigating
might also help us if you (or anyone else) goes into more detail
where specifically were you (not just what chapter) and what happened
did you interact with anything, trigger anything, is it consistent/persistent?

well idk maybe it doesnt happen for everyone but it does happen for a number of people for example me, and another friend of ours so its not something that is only happening to me, to GRIMM for example it doesnt crash idk why or how

we did have them fixed
and oddly enough, no one else is saying anything...
so, we're led to believe maybe conflicts with other addons
or something changed in a game update

Same as the other one that is supposed to be "fixed" game crashes with no error or anything in chapter 2

Crashed just outside the second or third saferoom, the one after the sewer ladder event.

we have another version of this which should have that end crash fixed
you'll also see it on my account so it's completely safe and legit.

It's a shame about the crash at the end otherwise a great campaign.

Notice: We're aware of an unauthorized attempt of a supposed "fix" uploaded. We are rightfully filing against it as we were already granted rights and permission long ago. If those sounds are missing, we'll add them back in. The problem is even if they are added most of them aren't playing because of the way they were added. For instance, 2 of the sounds are added while there is an alarm playing so you never hear them. Trying to figure out how to get them play before the alarm goes off. We play tested through and most of those sounds aren't working. They were left out of the original port or just not pointed correctly to the original sound folder. soundcache might be why they aren't working but we doubt it. We have the original helicopter sound working as the game starts on map 1.

Played with two players + two ai on expert. Honestly, this was a really great map that I had a lot of fun on. Parts 3/4 was challenging, but the weapon spawns and health kits were enough to get through it with a few resets. The finale section in the town was really fun and you added a lot of buildings and roofing for kiting using the available molotovs/gas. Great campaign, definitely one of the better custom ones out of the 50+ I've completed.

A few critiques would be that part 1 and 2 are pretty short and not really memorable. Getting to the finale town is a bit long and hard to navigate. There's also an exploit by jumping on the tank to get to the house roof which makes it easy, but triple tanks does stop the survivors from camping up there.

Okay, I played from after the first map before when I said it was fair, the first map gauntlet, which I've gotten through somehow on advanced is broken as hell. On Advanced it must have taken over ten tries to even get to the "one" pipebomb while ridiculous hordes with specials and sometimes double special infected assault you. On one playthrough it was twin smokers, another it was twin hunters I even got a twin jockeys and melee doesn't help. thankfully with left 4 bots I can warp the bots to me when they get tied up on the ridiculous amount of zombies. And not even an adrenaline to help if you are not a melee player

Yeah, this has always been a campaign I loved, but the finale always had a problem with bots not getting into the APC and the funny problem with the outro. left 4 bots solves this be allowing me to warp the bots to me, but this was a weird problem that was never fixed in L4D1.

well, i'm glad you still approve.
i still remember you from earlier around the beginning of this year.
thanks for being so persistent and dedicated.
had a feeling i recognized your name, and not just form on the other version.

Played this version and it was very fair, the hordes are manageable on Advanced and the tanks too

A message from one of the original creators from June 2011.

Hi.

Finding information and help for L4D authoring tools is close to impossible, where most of your questions are never answered and you spend most of your time discussing off topic on L4D authoring forums and mailing lists. Now I can design and map pretty good for my own standards, but I'm not a programmer and not an investigator. if one needs to be those in order to make maps for L4D then I guess I'll have to call it quits. :)

If you know how to solve the problems you see in the campaign then by all means, contact me and I'll give you the VMFs and assets and you're more than welcome to finish/fix Dead Echo.
