Left 4 Dead 2 Update Fixes Jockey Glitch

May 24, 2013 by Ian Miles Cheong

Jockeys are no longer annoying thanks to the latest patch for Left 4 Dead 2.

Left 4 Dead Zoey

Anyone who's played hundreds of hours of the Left 4 Dead games may have nothing left for them in terms of vanilla content. To that end, Valve has opened up the floodgates to allow modders to create their own original content for the game, all of which is freely shared over the Steamworks database on Steam.

That being said, much of the content players still enjoy and experience is the vanilla content. With the vanilla content in mind, Valve has released a new patch that updates both Windows and Linux versions of the game with fixes for some previously existing exploits and bug fixes for the game's many maps. 

Here are the patch notes in full, via PCGamesN.
