    Left For Dead 2 "-insecure" Error


    Every time i try play L4d2 i get an error saying "You have -insecure in the launch options which will prevent you from connecting to VAC secured servers". How could i remove the -insecure from launch options without steam please?

    Check if "-insecure" parameter is present in the launcher. You can do this by going into your steam library > click on Left 4 Dead 2 > Right Click > Choose Properties > In the General Tab, click "Set Launch Options..." > Find "-insecure" parameter and remove it.

    You sure you didn't download the game off from somewhere?

    I hope I'm not out of place but I do have a question.

    Does it matter that the operating system is W-10?

    Computer type PC/Desktop
    OS Windows 10 64Bit
    I'm also not a gamer and I'm not a W-10 user.
    Just a thought.

    Nah. Insecure mode was made for testing out mods that has the possibility of giving advantage against other players.
