    I was just wondering what are everyones settings for l4d2? i usually play online versus and the thing is i cant max everything out... i have the newest driver.. and if i try to max somethings out like shader detail or get 2x antitopic the game crashes after load... and for some reason.. while playing the first map and 2nd map of l4d2 the back ground is very foggy usually around the open areas ie sky like you cant see far (view distance) this didnt happen with the older driver that i had... any suggestions on why this is? thank you!

    Most of the drivers make l4d2 crash with shaders higher than the "low" setting, the only driver that is known to work is 260.99

    yea it used to crash for me too, just lower the shaders to medium and you should be fine. It was happening to me too and I was getting super frustrated.
