How to Uncensor L4D2 Demo

StevieBro · **Joined:** 10 Jun 07, 8:51 am **Posts:** 6

I used the UK trick mentioned in this thread yesterday and when I play the demo it is censored. Is that supposed to happen because I just got it after the public demo was released.

This is what it said I have purchased

Hopefully the full release will be uncensored because it doesn't mention AU in full version.

Your demo still should be uncensored, and 1atromm1 already confirmed from steam support that you'll get the uncensored full game

Here's my screenie for my account, in terms of Left 4 Dead 2 our's looks the same (apart from being a 4-pack)

My Left 4 Dead 2 Demo is currently Uncensored

Some people said that it was only uncensored if you downloaded it before it went to public download. But, your full L4D2 game will be uncensored 100%. Steam support mentioned the demo has the possibility of being censored but not the full game.
(assuming you bought it using that UK trick, which you did)

Did you get the 4-pack before the demo became public?

Here's the easy version:

1. Go to: http://store.steampowered.com/app/550/?cc=uk
2. Buy as normal (ie, log in), but on the visa/mastercard page set your country to United Kingdom, all other details must match your credit card. (fill it in as Australia first, then change to UK)- also tick "I live in this country".

Steam will show you paid in GBP and the game will show up in your game list without "AU" on the end. As a side effect, you'll start complaining that the beer's too cold, that the weather is nothing like it looked on "Neighbours", and you'll start to avoid showering.

If you already have the AU version you need to get a refund, ensuring you bag Michael Atkinson in the process before you commence Step 1.

ok ive read on forums today that this method has become problematic due to Ip logging now from place of purchase ? can anyone confirm , several people seemed to have tried and had their transaction fail apparently ?

Purchased it about 10 Minutes ago. My licence and subscription page looks the same as the above. The first time I tried it failed, there was an error at the top that said try again later. I unchecked the box that remembers payment info and logged out. Closed the page and clicked the link again, logged in and Payment info was blank. Filled it in and the transaction went through fine. Lets hope it works come release day.

I think it did work, Looking at what I brought (And Got Refunded)
it had Left 4 Dead 2 (AU Preorder) while now it just has (Preorder)

I'm assuming that it has worked.

oh and about 1 working day...US time though....was 3 days for me i got something with it, which made things a little harder.

Is it still censored when you run the left4dead2.exe directly from its folder and not by launching via Steam?

I believe that I did, therefore I would have it uncensored, I think I'm lucky to have it uncensored tho as I believe that if you get your Left 4 Dead 2 pre-order cancelled they only remove the actual full game that says "not released yet" from your list of games in Steam, they do not remove the Demo.

So I still had my old demo from my (AU) pre-order even after I got my (AU) version refunded and got the UK one

Did you use the http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=uk method without a VPN or proxy?

I also have compared my screenie to yours and I have noticed that in mine that the L4D2 game is listed after the demo and on yours it is listed before the demo.

Geez I hope I don't have the censored version of the full game. The censored demo is crap and im using the app id trick at the moment to make it uncensored.
