Game crashes, wont start...

Hello Aurelio,

I understand that you have trouble in playing Left 4 Dead 2.

Please answer the below questions:

• Since when are you facing this issue?
• Did you make any recent changes prior to this issue?
• Do you get any error message after the game automatically closes?
• Were you able to play the game before? Or since you installed the game, you have this issue?

I request you to try the methods below:

Method 1:

I request you to place the computer in Clean boot and check if it helps.



A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.
You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.



Follow the link to place your computer in Clean boot:

How to perform a clean boot in Windows



Disclaimer: To start the computer in normal mode refer the section,
"How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
from the link above.

Method 2:

I understand that the graphics of the game is fine as you mentioned, but still I would request you to try uninstalling and reinstalling the Graphics Card Drivers and check if that makes any difference.

Step 1: Uninstall the Graphics Card
Drivers

• 
  Right click on the Start menu.
  
• 
  Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
  
• 
  Search for the Graphics Card
  from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers
  from the computer.
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.
  

After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.



Step 2: Go to the Computer or Graphics Card
manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the
Graphics Card model and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.



You may also try reinstalling the game.

I hope this helps you. If you have any further query in future, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.



Thank you.
