Updated pak01_dir.vpk renaming "scripts hudlayout" to "scripts mudlayout" as described here.

This fixes the problem since the "The Passing" update.

Hmm estardey playd L4D2 with no problems. Today tried to fix my HUD.
Downloaded pak01_dir.vpk and scripts. Put it in Steamsteamappscommonleft 4 dead 2left4dead2 and next time I ran the game first I saw loading screen at only one monitor, than start menu (at only one monitor too), one sec and I am on the Desktop... Game is still runng, but I am at the Desktop. If I'm trying to "Alt+TAB" it I again saw start menu at one sec and again throwing away on the Desktop :evil:
Guys help PLZ! :(

So you had L4D2 wokring across 3 monitors before, and only had to fix the HUD, but when you did, the game no longer loads correctly?

I am not experincing any issues using the files provided, so can you just confirm for me which setup you are using, Eyefinity, Matrox, MView, SoftTH?
Also that the following files are in the correct locations?

SteamSteamAppscommonleft 4 dead 2left4dead2pak01_dir.vpk
SteamSteamAppscommonleft 4 dead 2left4dead2scriptshudlayout.res
SteamSteamAppscommonleft 4 dead 2left4dead2resourceuibasechat.res (if you are moving the chat interface)

IIRC L4D2 just had an update in the past couple of days. Occasionally patch changes to the pak01_dir.vpk file will cause the game to fail if you attempt to use an older version hud-modded .vpk. In this case the newest official .vpk must be edited for the hud mod in order for the game to run correctly.

Yes! Tis happand just after last update! I think it was yesterday!
But the thing is that I tried to re-install it with no luck...
OK I'll try to uninstall it now and use CD (not Steam) to re-install it.

P.S.: I am Matrox user :cheers

I don't quite understand. Are you going to reinstall l4d2? That is not necessary. What you need to do is follow the instructions here to edit the new .vpk:

Hmm... guys! I reinstall L4D2 first from Steam, than from my CD... it just keep throwing me on the desktop just after loading screen!
I tried to run it on single screen - that's OK! But if using Matrox and 3x22" it keep throwing me on desktop!!! :x

Sorry, but could you please confirm if this before or after you make any moddifications to the games files?

By the sounds, it seems the game fails to run on 3 screens at all ???
Failing before even adding the HUD mod?

Yes u'r wright! Failing before even adding the HUD mod!
But just two days ago I was playing it with no problem on 3x monitors!

I really don't know what to do and what is the core of the problem... :( May be after I add HUD fix something change in register? And now when I'm trying to re-install the game register stays wrong?

(Sorry for my english. Hope you'll understand)

May be there somewhere in game data .ini file where I can change resolution? I think so because of loading screen - it showing on one monitor instead of 3x...
