Left 4 Dead dev Chet Faliszek has confirmed to Shacknews that a PC patch is due for the fast-paced zombie shooter this week.

“The problem on the PC side was a few large bugs affected other systems that we were going to rewrite on the PC so we ended up waiting to fix a whole class of bugs instead of just individual bugs,” wrote Faliszek on the Steam forums before the aforementioned confirmation.

“Also for the patching, the real key is to patch more often and not wait for everything to accumulate,” added Faliszek. “Because of a perfect storm of events, this patch got larger than we would have liked and that really snowballed the time it is taking.”

A title update for Valve’s Left 4 Dead 360 was released last night that left many wondering exactly what it was supposed to do.

Well, Joystiq got the skinny as Valve told them that “the title update is the client-side fix meant to address the previously mentioned cheating.”

So there you have it. You’ll never prosper, you know.

Valve’s Chet Faliszek has told Kotaku in its video podcast that DLC for zombie shooter Left 4 Dead is in the works.

“We have the DLC coming, we’re going to do the 360 at the same time as the PC,” he said.

“If it wasn’t the holidays and people weren’t taking all these vacations here at Valve, you’d have seen that announcement already.”

No details of exactly what the DLC content would contain was forthcoming.

Thanks, EG.
