Same Menu Screen Every Time
The main menu is supposed to have a different background every time, right? With different scenes of the various campaigns. But I only ever get the Dead Center scene. It's minor and pointless, but is there any reason I don't get the others/any way to get the others to appear?

I think how it works is if you play that campaign last then it sets to that, not too sure though.

Head over to Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\media in your files, check if l4d2_background01 through 05 are there. If not, you can probably download them from somewhere.

You could aslo Verify you game cache and see if that helps anything.

What is there to not understand? Main Menu should have a different background scene every time you load the game, but it only has the Dead Center scene.

Small variety is nice. Maybe the same reason why people want cosmetics that are available ingame.

Well... I've never had the Dead Center scene. I have hard Rain, Dark Carnival, Parish and Swamp Fever. I do not think I've ever seen Dead Center.

But as others mention ... does it matter? I never look at it at all.

Yeah, you're right.. but I still want it for some reason. Like if you had the same wall colour/wallpaper for your whole life and now you want something different. It doesn't matter, but you would still like it anyways.
I'm afraid to ask, but are you on a mac platform or somethin'?
This is a serious question.

Well, then we pretty much found the problem. not really
I also seemed to have come into the same "problem" when I used to play games on an OS X platform. But as in recent months I bootcamped into a Windows partition and all those menu themes simply apeared as they were suposed to.
Either it's faulty programing in the game code itself or it's one of those functions a mac just can't accomplish.

Makes sense to me. Why a Mac is stupid enough to be unable to handle it is beyond my understanding, but there we go.
