Portal 2 lowest possible settings? - Games

I have a laptop that doesn't work well with Portal 2, and was wondering if there are any console command or such to reduce the settings lower?

What kind of laptop is that? I could run it on highest with Pentium 4, ati hd3650 and 1gb ram.

Try these that I found in the lowend.cfg for L4D1. mat_local_contrast_enable 0 mat_disable_bloom 1 r_flashlightdepthtexture 0 mat_vignette_enable 0 r_shadowfromanyworldlight 0 r_shadowrendertotexture 0 r_shadows 1 mat_phong 0 r_shadowfromworldlights 0 r_rainparticledensity 0.35 cl_particle_fallback_multiplier 2 Cl_particle_fallback_base 3

Put them in the autoexec.cfg file, or make one yourself if you don't have one. Lot's of lines Please pay attention to the mat_clipz 1 command, if it would case the game to not work properly. If that is the case, set it to 0.[/quote] Thanks I will do this when i'm home.

Holy crap, I used that autoexec.cfg file and now I have no lag whatsoever, thanks a bunch.

mat_showlowresimage 1 improves performance AND keeps the game looking good!

Can someone post pictures? I could do with a good laugh.

I didn't think that Portal 2 required much to perform well...

Have you tried changing the game resolution? That can really help, if not then you must have a really really bad laptop.

I've got a Pentium 4 with 2 GB of RAM and an NVidia GeForce 8400GS running XP 32bit - Would it even be worth getting Portal 2 on this monster?

Anyone know what command is doing this?

[QUOTE=ItazukiShi;31904840]I cant see any of the gels. Anyone know what command is doing this?[/QUOTE] I had that problem too. Look at is as a memory challenge. They show up in some places for me though.

[QUOTE=Wormy;31916460]Oh, so you meant you have no lag whatsoever. So it works pretty good now?[/QUOTE] Yes, but all of the gel's are invisible.

[QUOTE=ItazukiShi;31917611]Yes, but all of the gel's are invisible.[/QUOTE] beggars cant be choosers.

[QUOTE=ItazukiShi;31917611]Yes, but all of the gel's are invisible.[/QUOTE] I've heard that mat_fullbright makes gels invisible.

[QUOTE=Wormy;31919669]The weird thing is that mat_fullbright is not listed in the code that i posted. It seems like there is some code(s) that removes the lightning and does so you have to use mat_fullbright 1. I tried to set it to 0, but to no avail.[/QUOTE] I know this post is from 2011, but its the dynamic lighting. gels require them. i had the same issue when i used the code but i got it fixed when i messed around with the dynamic commands. P.S. i mean when gels are on a surface, they are props when in the air.

This gives me an idea, we should make a thread seeing how far down we can push the settings of FPS games. [url=http://www.hwsetup.it/images/screenshots/3dfx/voodoo2/doom3/2004115193533_35.jpg]Like this[/url]

I don't know why you had to bump a 3 year old thread to say that however
