Amazing offer from steam and NVIDIA. 3 FREE games of you choise just go to: {LINK REMOVED} and claim your games.
SPYCBANANA 22 Dec, 2009 @ 1:34pm 
you dont even need the program, just go the the two text files(steam_appid.txt, steam.inf) and change the Appid from 550 to 510, easy as pie.

i got an error trying to start up the switch, though i'm not sure whether it's full version compatible thought it was worth a try: here is the rror code error 0xc000135
crumpeT 14 Dec, 2009 @ 4:47am 
Valve deleted the 2 threads regarding the Censor Switch (for both the demo and full version)
Master Exploder 13 Dec, 2009 @ 8:30pm 
i see, well i'm awaiting activation of a steam forums thingo so i can go to the thread in "Censor Switch is NOW OUT!", because i thought the download on the front of the page was for the demo, maybe i am activated and Valve is just saying "♥♥♥♥ YOU" to the people who don't want to play left 4 dead 2-preschool version
nicolenomicon 13 Dec, 2009 @ 8:25pm 
no achievements, only play with other people who have used the hack, and no dedicated servers.
Master Exploder 13 Dec, 2009 @ 7:58pm 
are there any cons or negative things that happen when using the app with the FULL version
nicolenomicon 11 Dec, 2009 @ 1:01am 
Yes, but that means other australians, who are the only people you'd want to play with anyway, otherwise you end up with terrible pings!
OriginalDan 9 Dec, 2009 @ 10:22pm 
yes but changing this to the 510 app makes it so you can only play it with others who have done the same crack .. right??
Shrike 8 Dec, 2009 @ 4:23am 
Okay, for the dills like me, Make sure you have the L4D2 Dedicated Server installed in the Tools tab on steam. Then you're all set. BTW it's looking for the left4dead2 folder, the one without the spaces in the name and 1 level deep in the left 4 dead 2 folder.
nicolenomicon 7 Dec, 2009 @ 9:18pm 
The app does work for the real game, of course you could just change the appid id manually to 510 anyway though.
Shrike 7 Dec, 2009 @ 8:07pm 
Okay, maybe I'm a spaz.. I cant get this to work when pointing to full version of the game, when I point it to the Demo folder, it enables the Disable Censor switch, but then the game fails wanting to be run via steam.

Is this method working for the full version of the game and Im doing it wrong? or do we have to wait a while.?
crumpeT 1 Dec, 2009 @ 1:20pm 
You just extract both files into the same location/folder and it will run fine :)
Chains@w 1 Dec, 2009 @ 5:21am 
hi Guys, the censor switch wont find the folder??? what is the correct folder i put in :steamapps/common/Left 4 Dead 2, i dont seem to have an extra folder just names l4d2 ???, thanks in advance, also where do i put the .dll file? i think would be good to have install notes added to switch
crumpeT 1 Dec, 2009 @ 4:26am 
The download link is right next to the profile picture for this group saying DOWNLOAD. :D
NikNok 1 Dec, 2009 @ 2:39am 
ok, SL33TBL1ND, could you give me a d/l link?
NikNok 1 Dec, 2009 @ 2:38am 
it means the folder l4d2 is installed to probs be something like c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2
Duzzies 30 Nov, 2009 @ 10:02pm 
THIS ISNT WORKING FRO ME. all it say is for me to locate l4d 2 folder. there is a folder called l4d2 uncencor in it but its empty
nicolenomicon 28 Nov, 2009 @ 10:27pm 
Yes and its been out for a while.
NikNok 28 Nov, 2009 @ 8:59pm 
is there a censor switch for the full version yet? Cuz the one above is for the demo.
NikNok 28 Nov, 2009 @ 8:27pm 
join the 3fl steam group, then itll show servers under steam group servers as 3fl hosts 510 servers.
Duzzies 25 Nov, 2009 @ 10:17pm 
should i download this before or after installation?
Talonus 25 Nov, 2009 @ 9:18pm 
Ya, i had the same problem. Gore works fine, and i can play with other players who have the censor disabled (510 trick), but no servers (have to host) and no censored players... severely limiting online capabilities
Leopard 24 Nov, 2009 @ 5:30pm 
Nargath, i can only join servers hosted by other poeple using the original version, i can host my own game but no one can join.
crumpeT 24 Nov, 2009 @ 3:57pm 
No. Sorry
Davo vs Capcom 24 Nov, 2009 @ 3:10pm 
Can we get achievements if the game is uncensored?
Nargath 23 Nov, 2009 @ 4:14am 
How are you guys connecting to MP games? I've opened the server browser, but nothing is showing up. Anything else we should know about?
Leopard 22 Nov, 2009 @ 5:34pm 
As long as i don't get banned from Steam by using this i will be happy :p
Leopard 22 Nov, 2009 @ 3:13am 
hmm, cause after the update it changed some of the files back to 550, so re-enabing the patch, puts it back to 510. So far it has worked for me, can play single and multi with full gore.
Leopard 22 Nov, 2009 @ 2:20am 
I got it to work by disabling the cencor patch then reenabling it, works fine now
Leopard 22 Nov, 2009 @ 1:49am 
Same problem here, i really hope we dont have to go through this every time there is an up date for this game
Gerofied 21 Nov, 2009 @ 6:21pm 
same problem as Arkanti, "serve unable to athenticate user with steam"
JJ杀手 20 Nov, 2009 @ 9:39am 
oh ♥♥♥♥ i am so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love you work....its awsome.

to the team that provided us with the switch tank you ever so much for doing so quickley, lets hope that steam turns a blind eye to this hack and lets you continue your work
crumpeT 18 Nov, 2009 @ 9:56pm 
But if you're really willing to donate. My PayPal address is Shane@newmile.net but I don't really expect anything. Maybe if I do make enough, I will set up a website based on game censorship removal/work-arounds for you guys and maybe I can try to develop more for other games, who knows? :)
crumpeT 18 Nov, 2009 @ 9:54pm 
Thankyou FunkyMunky and Lord Banshie. This program only changes the app-ids but makes it far easier to switch between both versions. No other methods of gore-enabling are "legal" and would result in a VAC ban which I do not want to risk (for myself or any of you guys).
Funkymunky 18 Nov, 2009 @ 1:23am 
you are a legend and should take micheal atkinsons job crumpet
Funkymunky 17 Nov, 2009 @ 4:16pm 
just find the l4d2 demo folder and find the exe file and hit start
Se_An22 17 Nov, 2009 @ 4:10pm 
Can i get some help, wenever i find the left 4 dead 2 folder it says enable censor which i dont want, soo what folder do we find first? any help wud be great
Funkymunky 17 Nov, 2009 @ 2:24pm 
i'm with lord banshie is there any thing we can do to help out with the censor switch for the full game
[MAS] Lord Banshie 17 Nov, 2009 @ 9:55am 
Is there anyway to help the progress of this for the full game? technical know how, donations etc?
Kezia 17 Nov, 2009 @ 9:54am 
Waiting eagerly for this to work with the full version, despite it being out for 12 horus now I haven't been able to play due to Steam having PMS >_>
The Midnight Burrito 16 Nov, 2009 @ 12:50am 
I was feeling terribly depressed about having the censored Australian version, but I could hardly care less now thanks to this terrific program!
Jimiester 15 Nov, 2009 @ 7:09pm 
Anyone know if this app or any new app will be made available for the full version?
scurfy576noun 12 Nov, 2009 @ 11:28pm 
This is awesome! I was playing the demo a bit before this, and I wasn't even thinking of buying the full version of L4D2 because of the censor, but now, when you release a version of this for the full version, I will buy it and use your program.
