for some reason after they downloaded, i cant have both activated cause it says it has conflicting files. first time i tried loading it, it said map wasnt available for part 1. then when i did load it after a second attempt, no textures loaded. a sea of nothing but purple and black boxes

I dont know why but im facing a major issue with the last map Cortex.

Im using Sourcemod with some vscript addons from this collection: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2356945467

If i have Sourcemod with just 1 plugin loaded, my game crashes, it will only work if i get rid of all Sourcemod plugins.
However, if i disable all of the addons from the collection i mentioned before, it makes my game load in the last map, but this was like happening randomly, i think it depended when i had all of them disabled when i launched L4D2.

I just dont know what's the cause of that, this is what i was only thinking and i got.

This might be happening if the mods you have installed are adding more entities to the maps. Map 6 - Cortex, is a complex map that has greatly exceeded the amount of entities supported by L4D2. It could be crashing because the mods you have make the map reach the entity limit, and this will crash the game.

In the upcoming Definitive Edition, I have changed the way in which the many entities are handled, spawned in and removed. It's possible that your mods will not be a problem when I release the update.

Ahh... so the problem was that i was hitting the entity limit.. it makes sence now.
Thanks for telling me, i'll be waiting for the new update.

I'm playing the part 1 on the first level and the fps drops to insane low amounts to the point where everything is laggy, is this normal?

The Pinstripe Potaroo door that contains the Red Gem never opens for us. We go back and press the button after fighting N Gin, but that door refuses to open every time. We can't get the good ending because of this.

I have not encountered that bug before, but thank you for reporting it. I am testing that scene currently for the update and it seems to work every time for me.

Are you aware that there are 2 buttons that need to be pressed in the backtrack section? The far house, and then return to the house by the water and go underground.

You need to fix the design of the map. On a dedicated server, 3 to 5 clients got kicked with this message: 'Kicked by Console : CBaseEntity::InputKill()'. Second time, we replayed this map again just now, and we use this plugin as a preventive measure to the issue ([L4D2] InputKill Kick Prevention - AlliedModders[forums.alliedmods.net]), and the issue was not happening again.

Interesting, I have not heard of this being an issue before. From reading the linked thread, I can theorise that players are getting kicked due to entities on my map using the name "Francis", "Louis", which in theory could cause issues for people on servers modded to use all 8 survivors.

Although it is unlikely I will fix the 2020 or 2013 releases now, I can change the entity names for the upcoming 2024 release and hopefully this bug will not occur when I release that.

Yea it's a really rare issue, only happened twice for me before.

One map was this map, the other map was Steam Workshop::Lord Of The Rings Campaign (Part 1/2) on Finale map (the castle defending).

For a bit more info, have a look at my chatting with the author of the plugin about the issue, you can see it here: https://imgur.com/vyJYKxC

Edit: Another map was Steam Workshop::Welcome to Hell on Finale map. I myself as the host got kicked, the map seems to use L4D1 survivors as NPCs too on the Finale map.
