How to play Left 4 Dead Co-op mode with Hamachi

  • One person needs to create a hamachi server and allow the other 3 players to join it before you continue to the next steps.


  • For the Host (1 person)
    1. Go to the folder that you have installed Left 4 Dead.
    2. Create a new text file in this folder
    left4dead.exe -game left4dead -console -novid +sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 +z_difficulty Impossible +map l4d_hospital01_apartment

  • Save this file as Launch.bat (it is very important that you save it as a ".bat" file). This will be the file that launches your game.
  • Run Launch.bat
  • Go to the next time and tell your friends to join you.
  • For the Clients (1-3 people)
    1. Launch Left 4 Dead
    2. Press the button "`" (top left corner of your keyboard) to get into the Console
    3. Type in connect HAMACHI-IP-ADDRESS (For example: connect 5.111.216.175)
    4. You will now be connecting to the host

    5. Enjoy!
