Left 4 Gore

About

The international version of Left 4 Dead 2 is banned in Australia and Germany, so games purchased in those countries are censored. Dismemberment, blood spatter, corpses, burning and more are all disabled in both versions. Left 4 Gore is a memory patcher which adds the gore back into these crippled versions of Left 4 Dead 2.

Left 4 Gore is an up-to-date and cross-platform replacement for Left 4 UNCUT. The original Left 4 Dead is no longer supported, but can be readded if there's demand.

Download

Left 4 Gore doesn't permanently alter the game files, so you'll need to run it each time you start the game. The way you run it depends on the platform; see the README file in the corresponding download for details.
