Players can now be invited to play co-op on controller. Improved resolution of player avatars throughout the game. Improved advanced video settings descriptions. Improved compile time for Perpetual Training Initiative puzzles. For the Linux version it's especially great, as there's a few very specific fixes done for us including: it actually has an icon now, a Linux startup crash was solved, they fixed a credits corruption on Linux, a few intro videos weren't playing on Linux, BEEMod should work better on Linux and the game should no longer appear in the top left corner of the screen for some Linux players.Īpart from that, here's what else has changed: That's not all though, there's a lot more included in this update. It might give you better performance depending on your setup, although the OpenGL build already performed quite well overall. With this update it now includes a special native build of DXVK along with some extra dedicated Source tweaks, which allows you to run Portal 2 with "-vulkan" as a launch option to switch it over to Vulkan. For the Linux version, original Source engine games like this used a translation layer called ToGL to translate D3D9 to OpenGL. Portal 2 by default uses Direct3D 9 on Windows and OpenGL on Linux. To stop any rumours: no, this is not Source 2 or anything of the sort.

Massive sequel: The original Portal was named 2007's Game of the Year by over 30 publications worldwide.Advanced physics: Allows for the creation of a whole new range of interesting challenges, producing a much larger but not harder game.Complete two-person co-op: Multiplayer game featuring its own dedicated story, characters, and gameplay.

Extensive single player: Featuring next generation gameplay and a wildly-engrossing story.

Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. The game’s two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game. The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers.

Portal 2 draws from the award-winning formula of innovative gameplay, story, and music that earned the original Portal over 70 industry accolades and created a cult following.
