Sea of Thieves is a PC and Xbox One action/adventure game that allows cross play between the two where you form a crew of up to 4 and sail around looking for treasure and having other adventures. If we have more than 4, we will split into several crews. It is tough to play together with multiple crews with the current game design, but we will make a few attempts to get on the same server together with multiple ships at the start, so try to be there on time for this purpose. In order to maximize our odds of getting more than one ship on the same server, please download the Windscribe VPN client, sign up for a free account, and have it installed and ready to use for these nights. It is easy to use and gives you 10 GBs of free data each month.

Make sure to check the game on the Microsoft store app prior to community night to see if there is an update that needs to be downloaded/installed by the store app! Also, if you buy the game through the Microsoft store on either the PC or Xbox, you can install and play it on both the PC and Xbox One simultaneously. You can try it for a month for $1. See below.

Prepare for summer LAN party: Left 4 Dead 2
Posted on Thursday July 16, 2020

The last scheduled game to show up in our schedule of events for our summer LAN party taking place next Friday July 17 through Monday July 20 is Left 4 Dead 2.

If all goes according to plan, we will have a LAN server (called [OSF] LAN party) that players from the internet are able to join. There is in-game chat for this game to use for team-oriented coordination, but we will use the Discord lobby and STEAM friends to coordinate and socialize.

However, if you would rather not invest that much in the game, you could invest in the basic level of Origin Access for $5/month for August only and then cancel it. This gives you unlimited access to the full game while you are a member as well as other games (such as Star Wars Battlefront if you do not own that game).

https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/origin-access

We will be playing a private match, so we will start by meeting in a private match lobby. You do need to be on the Origin friends list of the host, so if you have never played the game with us, please post your Origin name here (or make sure to add Kramerika to your Origin friends list at the least). There is in-game chat for this game, but we will use the Discord lobby and Origin friends to coordinate and socialize.

New Left 4 Dead 2 survival map: Helm's Deep
Posted on Tuesday July 14, 2020

You can download the map at the link below. It contains the left4dead2 folder and all folders/files within it. This is the same left4dead2 folder that is in your STEAM/steamapps/common/Left 4 Dead 2 folder, so that folder should be copied there or all files in that folder copies within the same folder there overwriting all files. You should also download the sound cache file and copy that over the file in your STEAM/steamapps/common/Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/sound folder as it has been updated for this map. We will be playing this map at our summer LAN this weekend.
