This is it! The Left 4 Dead 2 version of I Hate Mountains subtly dubbed I Hate Mountains 2! It certainly took time, almost 8 months... At the beginning, we honestly thought this port would be a piece of cake, but we just couldn’t figure how difficult it would be and how life would change for each of us following the release of the first version.
This is it! No, we ain’t speaking about the Michael Jackson post-mortem movie but about the Left 4 Dead 2 version of I Hate Mountains subtly dubbed I Hate Mountains 2! We are hereby releasing the 1.2 version of both Left 4 Dead 1 and Left 4 Dead 2 versions of the campaign.
It certainly took time, almost 8 months… At the beginning, we honestly thought this port would be a piece of cake, but we just couldn’t figure how difficult it would be and how life would change for each of us following the release of the first version. Between missing content, broken features, crashes and unexplainable issues, we were really this close to give up during these last months.

1. RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION
Any computer that can run Left 4 Dead 2 campaigns should be able to run I Hate Mountains 2 decently. We'd recommend that your computer specifications slightly exceed what's recommended for Left 4 Dead since our campaign is a bit greedier in some places.
Recommended configuration :
— Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
— Display Card: DirectX 9 compatible graphics card
— Memory: 1 GB
— Free Disk Space: 527 MB
— Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/Seven
2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
How do I install this campaign?
Before you install, please make sure you have the 'Steam Client' installed along with 'Left 4 Dead 2' and its 'Left 4 Dead 2 Add-on Support' (available under the 'Tools' tab in Steam). Also make sure the game has been launched at least once through Steam. Then, all you need to do is to extract and/or move the ihatemountains2.vpk here:
...\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons\
To successfully see our custom visual effects:
Valve definitely broke the custom particle engine in Left 4 Dead 2, there is no way to see our custom visual effects anymore.
To successfully hear our custom sound effects:
Everything should work straight out of the box, except a few missing sounds maybe.
To successfully see our hints:
Because it can be quite intimidating to survive the first tries, enable the game instructor in Options > Multiplayer > Game Instructor and then, type gameinstructor_reset_counts in the game console to reactivate all the help messages. To learn how to activate the game console, follow the following link:
Ihatemountains.com
How do I uninstall this campaign?
Simply delete the ihatemountains2.vpk located here:
...\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons\

4. KNOWN ISSUES
During the development, there's a few things we had to accept and among these is the fact that not everything is possible in a Left 4 Dead 2 campaign. Because of this, there's a few problems we are aware of but can't fix or didn't had the time to fix before release. Here's a little list just so you guys know what's going on.
