I just played my second game of Mac portal today, and before the game started, Steam downloaded an update.
It didn't fix any visible bugs for me, but it looks like it introduced a new one. Now when I look into the portals, all I see is black instead of the room on the other side. Yesterday when I played, I could see through portals fine.
It is just a glitch on my specific hardware, or did any other Portal Mac player get this too? I figure that if all of us are getting this bug, it'll probably be fixed soon. But if it's just me, I might be outta luck.
- endlessvoid94 16y agoadd '-windowed' to the launch options.
- MikeCapone 16y agoHow do I do that? I'm not very familiar with Steam.
- thunk 16y agoJust took a look and: Yup, same here.
- mveldthuis 16y agoYep, me too.
- alanstorm 16y agoI'm seeing the same bug here on a pretty recent (November '09) Mac Pro.
- JeremyBanks 16y agoThis isn't a bug, it's a graphics setting. You can control how many iterations go into drawing the contents of each portal. The lowest setting is 0, which doesn't draw any. I don't have it installed so I can't tell you exactly how to change it, but the option's in there somewhere.
- alanstorm 16y agoI found the setting you're talking about, and if doesn't fix this bug. The portals still render as big black holes no matter the setting (well, if you set it to 0, the portals are obscured by blue/orange flame energy)
- joezydeco 16y agoI played last night on iterations=2 (default) and I got black portals as well.
