OK, I finally got my hands on portal. :dance: It better be worth the money. Anyways, I started it, and everything goes fine, I get great FPS's, And it's all fine. But as soon as the first portal is opened. After i go through it. It crashes. The little <insert shit>program has encountered a problem and needed to close etc etc. So... what gives? Everything else i have(gmod,hl2) runs fine. Except this.:crying: Edit: Screenie screenie (portal just out of view after i walked through it) [img]http://recreate.upurload.com/temp/10163capture_1265505066.png[/img]

Update your drivers

Computer Specs?
Well, I have this cardboard box, and in it is a slice of bologna for the processor, hardrive in a bottle of whiskey, and the graphics card is a holorgraphic Charzard.

You'd think... but I don't know. I kind of left the box out in the rain one night, now it's kind of soggy, the bologna is moldy, the whiskey bottle is filled with water, but the graphics card is fine... but for some odd reason it's now a holographic Blastoise :raise:

Now explain everything else. AKA Why everything exept right after i walk through a portal works.
Portal requires a minimum 32-64MB of VRAM, so your just meeting the minimum requirements for it. I don't know much of anything about video rendering, but I'm guessing whenever you go through a portal, it has to render both areas you're in for a split second or more. This could cause you to run out of resources.
[QUOTE=Captain Obvious;20073387]Now explain everything else. AKA Why everything exept right after i walk through a portal works.[/QUOTE] I don't know, just that Valve said that Intel cards are incompatible with Orange Box games.

It meets those too. Video ram. I have 92. Minimum is 32-64 according to you.
Use noclip.
Noclip? How do i activate it within portal?(not to mention cheating means boring as fuck, it defeats the whole point of portals. )
Turn off Windowed Mode? Try reinstalling.

But, as stated above, it sounds like either your card is not compatible or is having trouble running it, or it just runs out of resources while rendering 2 areas at once.
[QUOTE=Zedo Mann;20073685]Turn off Windowed Mode? Try reinstalling.[/QUOTE] Tried both already.

Portals just appear as coloured circles. And it still fucks up.

Fuck you valve. Creating all this buggy shit. :argh: edit: who rated me boxes
Just because you meet the minimum requirements doesn't mean it's actually playable...
