Mouse invert. If I turn the character to the right, turn left and vice versa. Help!
Unfortunately the game server took me to someone who changed the game, erasing keyboard controls and inverting the mouse, but not up and down (as is applicable in the game options) but from left to right. Now move the mouse in one direction makes the character (survivor or infected) to move in the opposite direction. This only occurs when entering in any party. In all modes of play. :Lightning:

I have asked friends and I found the famous ZEN.CFG modifying the configuration. I disabled the StreamCloud and have verified files without result. The same uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I've looked everywhere but I did not find any similar case. Just mouse lag issues and sensitivity. :rshout::rshout:

I need urgent help and I appreciate the contributions. I can not play a video game that I love and I've been playing more than five years, almost every day. Thank you all. :eng::eng:

There is a certain server, maybe more that is spreading malicous file/s that mess with the mouse. I have seen a couple other people with the same mouse problem you desribed, but no one seems to have fixed it yet. So until someone figures out a workaround guess you are screwed.

I have the same issue and have no result yet, no one know anything?

There is a server that is distributing a file that modifies the game controls (keyboard and mouse) This file is copied to different folders, setting the game up this configuration StreamCloud, which makes it very difficult disposal, because if you have option enabled StreamCloud saved in the game, each time you delete that file, whose name is ZEN.CFG, will again be copied back to the same folders. A nightmare.

But there is a way to eradicate it once and for all. I've been searching google for a while and have found the solution. Although difficult, must be done step by step, checking each step, as the well-implemented method erased once and for all the ZEN.CFG of StreamCloud and folders Steam and Left4Dead.

Thanks for the help BT :)

That's the first thing my friends recommended me to do. And I did. But still the problem continued to appear and wondered why.

The point is that even disabling and deleting StreamCloud the CFG folder completely, to verify the integrity of the cache files, returns to the damn Zen.CFG file every time the game starts appearing.

This is because Steam has already loaded "default" that file. The Zen is very well designed to make your life miserable. Unless STEAMCLOUD fool to himself so that a synchronization conflict occurs and then download the basic game files.

Still, try the method is not bad. But I notice that the ZEN.CFG file is copied to multiple folders. That means the file is not only in Left4Dead / Left4Dead / CFG folder also found in other folders and hidden mode :(

yes if you do not disable the steam cloud sync both in-game and by right-clicking on l4d in your steam library, steam will reaquire the problem each time. When this happened to me i believe i deleted the cfg folder but forgot to disable the sync in one of the 2 locations i mentioned and the problem reoccured. Thinking i didn't delete something i went ahead and deleted my entire l4d directory and still had no success with only the mouse issue. Finally figured out it was the steam sync in 2 locations that mattered.

however if you've got it figured out all is well, if not let me know.


Try with the Direct Link Instructions (step2step):

Now I have all controls keyboard and mouse configured perfectly and I managed to remove all the locations ZEN.CFG. You must also eliminate "Remotechave.vdf" file "Remote" folder (that you can find in the link)

Thanks a lot, reporting hackers and add this server to BlackList

You have been "salsa'd" by the Salsa plugin designed by Archer.

Your settings and cfgs have all been wiped.

Here's what to do.

1. First IN-GAME click options - Steam Cloud - UNCHECK (don't sync)
2. Close l4d
3. go to this directory (if not in windows figure it out):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead"
4. Delete the directory named "cfg" entirely
5. Open Steam and go to your LIBRARY and right click on l4d.
6. Click Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.
7. Click Yes to all and it will re-download that directory.
8. Reconfigure your files as desired and play.

Note - If you somehow have steam sync enabled, you will not experience a change in your mouse settings or otherwise after deleting and restoring the cfg folder. You can also right click l4d in your steam library to disable the sync with the cloud. Otherwise you're simply restoring the culprit back onto your comp each time you log into l4d.

BONUS STEP - For extra protection now make config.cfg and autoexec.cfg (if you have it) READ ONLY.

Servers that use this plugin can target all or specific users. Try to remember the server and never visit again and warn others. The server that got me was...

The Shadowed Tombs - owned by Loki - currently @ 66.150.214.141

Nice copy pasta, ♥♥♥♥♥. If you're going to steal someone's fix (MY fix) then at least CREDIT me.

Note how the fix is typed with perfect grammar. Then note bk's later post how it is devoid of good grammar. I typed that, and he copy pasta'd it here forever ago. Plagiarism is most likely how you acquired that useless phD, no?

Also, everyone knows you're a DDoSing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, don't try to use my knowledge to make yourself seem more presentable.

I wrote that a year or so ago from scratch, no one is copying you.
Also, i could care less about my grammar it's not what got my a PhD, glad there are kids out there like you to spell-check so the rest of us can do important ♥♥♥♥.

Lastly, NFO has your ip on record for DDOSing my server,

ANYONE want proof message me for HIS IP AND ATTACK METHOD using the phrase "A Cat is Find Too"

Go ahead and lie to yourself. I remember telling you that fix, back before you decided to get hormonal and begin DDoSing me.

As for the IP, I have yours as well, and have a number of records of you attacking me personally, as well as my server, and even a NUMBER of other people's servers. Everyone knows you're a toxic pissboi.

My DDoS (SINGLE, as in ONE TIME) was merely in relation to your past track record as a raging DDoSing man-child, and you solidify your toxicity by posting an offer to such things on a public forum.

I could do the very same thing, but then I'd be stooping to your level of toxicity.

As for the salsa plugin, it is BUILT INTO zencfg, and its not an option, and can only be disabled with a command, not removed completely unless you decompile and recompile. This game is over 6 years old now, you think I'm about to go and write a form of rotoblin for 48 people to play on? LOL
I have the skills, but I also have more of a life than you do, bk.

ZSU servers like this kid's exist b.c no one else can do it but Zen so they swallow it whole...with the SALSA plugin bundled in as part of ZenServer.smx

So before you accuse others of stealing things, learn to run your own server and send DDOS floods that NFO doesn't detect and filter in seconds, lol, without a VPN, so thanks for your IP.

Yes, THE SERVER THIS KID RUNS HAS THE VERY SALSA PLUGIN RUNNING HE IS HELPING YOU GET RID OF.

ANYONE WANT TO SEE PROOF? I captured his flood with his IP and Attack method, message me for his info/details!!!!!

You're a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idiot if you think you're protected because of your VPN. 8)

I retaliate against DDoSers like you, and I have nothing to hide in doing so.

skils? any proof ?
Oh i mean other than you telling people you DDOS others?
I do not attack servers, insinuate all you want.
I do have a server you can continue to attack, however ....

I DO NOT KNOW YOU SON.
I DONT KNOW YOUR LIFE...YOU DO NOT KNOW MINE (or my ip for that matter as i'll change it now.......)

I do know i did not copy your guide, but if it's useful, great.
I have published things since you allude to my free time and degree, feel free to promote your l4d guide, i shall as well!

keep your ignorant opinion to yourself in private, unless you really like you continue admitting to crimes reported to me.

FEEL FREE TO POST ANY PROOF YOU HAVE OF ME ATTACKING A SERVER.
I like pastebin and will gladly trade you and anyone else.
and if you do, PM me b.c i wont be checking this thread and am astonded your attacks are relevant to this thread. [/quote]



I do what I please. Just like you do, toxic-piss-boi-san.


It would make no difference, as you have admitted to DDoSing before as well. :)

I will go ahead and change my ip too since you're doing it. Gotta stay hip!

Point is, you can't deny the truth, and that is that you attack people on a regular basis. The entire community can contest to this.
