Left 4 Dead issues

[Leon]

I started to get back to playing L4D in singleplayer and it starts to lag/crash for 1-3 seconds and contiunes idk y that shouldnt take up any server at all.

 

In Campaign i could understand that but im not sure if its my grapics/video settings, i put it all on medium and it still causes that. PS it never did that before and everything is up to date.

Make sure no other windows are up. And close ohter programs like XFire and other "behind" programs. Check ur firewall and all that Jazz.

Its kinda weird, if your lagging/having lag spikes in singleplayer it must be something to do with a program open in the background or.. Your settings.. good luck

XFire is a terrible program... It causes a lot of problems. :/

If you DON'T have XFire, or you've ruled out it's not the problem, contact steam.

Try restarting your computer too.

Re-install if everything else has failed.

Still bad, contact steam.

You might need to update your graphics drivers.

Yeah you might have to UPDATE your drivers

 

Go to nvidea and look up update drivers

Go there and find your new drivers.

i would go to steam, right click on L4D->Verify Game Cache Files.

it could easily be a badly modified/corrupted file.

 

other than that, i would roll back your video drivers. if you just updated (which is the impression im getting) than its possible L4D may not like the latest drivers.
