This is becoming an annoying fad... What am i talking about? the fad of having to figure out what's wrong with games and how to fix them.
bah humbug!
Since i got L4D2, i had never been able to set a spray for the damn thing, even sprays i used in L4D1. It seems to b a very random glitch seeing as my friends could use the exact same files i was trying to use.
I asked steam tech support, which only said the images i was trying to use were all corrupted (sure, blame the images). But with their silly advice of using infraview to save jpg sprays, i found out the reason for my bug:
Yes, the DPI setting. for some copies of L4D2 the game will assume an image is corrupt if the DPI isn't set to 300. I can't get over how random that is. Tested on BMP, JPG and TGA files, all seemed to work fine.
Hope it helps someone.

Why the bug happens:
On some copies of L4D2, the game will not accept your spray unless the DPI setting for it is 300.
How to fix it:
Set the DPI to 300, save, fixed. (depends on the software you're using obviously, google how if you don't know)
