Splitscreen mode for the PC version of Left 4 Dead has been cracked.

Along with a good few bug fixes from Valve this morning, a member of the Steam community has managed to work out how to get splitscreen action going on your PC.

The guide to allowing multiple people to play on one screen can be found here on the Steam forums. User 'TheBusGuy' appears to have indeed cracked it, as the shouts of jubiliation from his fellow Steam forum users would imply! Just follow the step-by-step guide if you want to try it out.

As for the bug fixes, the majority concern fixing all the horrible server problems players were experiencing yesterday. Here's the list:

• Fixed several issues with matchmaking and password protected servers
• Tuned matchmaking to provide better search results
• Fixed bug where servers could stay reserved by matchmaking forever
• Performance optimizations and fixes to networking layer
• Fixed issue where game could cause Steam executable to use too much CPU
• Fixed music resetting when changing video settings
• Fixed some issues with not being able to chat and/or connect to other users
