Everything has changed for the Survivors: they have found a handy Italian vehicle, hence they go against their destiny and decide to settle down just outside Pesaro in a comfortable abandoned house which needs repairs to make it a safe place to dwell in.
DON'T PLAY THIS CAMPAIGN IF:
- you just want to run to the safehouse as quick as possible;
- you have 666 mods installed and it's too much to disable some of them;
- you can't stand custom events and you only want the ones like "press the button and wait 5 seconds";
- you need an arrow or other kind of hints for directions every 10 meters or else you'll get lost;
- you get bothered by looking for stuff needed to proceed in the maps, and at the first "hiccup" you wear the crybaby outfit and close the game;
- you prefer the standard way of playing Left 4 Dead 2 ---- 5 maps, tough weapons from the 2nd or 3rd map, cramped sewers, copy-paste of the same rooms and infinite corridors (if so, why bother playing the custom campaigns?
Extract the vpk files into Steam / Steamapps / common / Left 4 Dead 2 / left4dead2 / addons.
At least in the first run, enable the game instructor.
If you have crashes, disable some addons regarding the infected / special infected / witch / HD Textures and try again.
I also recommend setting the Shader Detail on Medium and the resolution to max 1920 x 1080. With the 2k / 4k resolutions you might have crashes.
Known issues:
- being the Ape Piaggio vehicle not really like the Gran Turismo cars, and being L4D2 not an arcade driving videogame, drive carefully and if you get stuck somewhere or something else goes wrong and even the "ESC >> Take a Break" won't fix it, the only choice is to restart the map;
- if you get incapped or killed while driving, the vehicle will be bugged, so if after some tries / tricks nobody can take back the control of the vehicle, as above >> restart the map;
- when grabbed by a Special Infected while you're on the vehicle, press the Jump key (meaning, exit the vehicle) or else you'll stay parented to the Ape Piaggio and you might end up in unreachable locations;
- when the vehicle is flipped and you are onboard as passenger, DO NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE AND WAIT FOR IT TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD PROPERLY
M0r0nic comments will be answered accordingly to their levels of m0r0nness.
The hints for how to carry out the events are there. Before writing stuff like "I don't know where to go / what to do", just make a small effort.
If you drive "well", hopefully you won't have many problems. Look at it as an Ape Piaggio Simulator.
