HLDJ starts up game normally, no message in Console

[InManiCorp]

1) Does HLDJ launch the game correctly for you?

Yep. You don't get any extra splash screens or anything do you?

2) Does "HLDJ Loaded Successfully" appear in console on starting the game (with no errors)?

Nope. None of the HLDJ commands (la, HLDJ and so forth) don't do anything either.

5) Does voice normally work for you?

Yes.

- check your game path, if you have multiple steam accounts, make sure it's referencing the right account
- search for hldj in our steam directory to see where the hldj cfg files are being created

Just did a quick experiment, apparently the message comes up in Team Fortress 2 and the commands work fine, but not in Left for Dead 2 where I intended to use it. I have quite a lot of add-on maps for L4D2 and a soundmod or two, could that be the reason it's not working? I think I also needed to re-build my sound cache in L4D2 a month or so ago.

The filepath seems ok (Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\leftfordead2), only one Steam account.

The .cfg files are created in Steam\userdata\85193340\440\remote\cfg.

L4D2 specifically has problems, see the sticky in this forum and try the L4D2 workaround version.
