-Okay, so I started Hammer (L4D2 Authoring Tools), and the a "Hammer Configuration" menu pops up. I decide to cancel, and then I get two error messages, 1 from Hammer itself, and 1 from VConfig.
-*Hammer: Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory ''. Check your -game paramater or VCONFIG setting.
-*VConfig: Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory 'c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\bin\vconfig'. Check your -game paramater or VCONFIG setting.
-Upon further investigation, while there is a GameConfig.txt file in the bin directory of left 4 dead 2, there is no vconfig folder, and GameConfig.txt is only just 3 lines of text:
-"Configs"
-{
-}
-Could somebody please help me with this?{{unsigned|BlackRaven117}}
