     ALRIGHT. SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS WORTH WHILE.

     I have my regular steam directory on the F: drive. This leaves me with F:\Program Files\steam ~~~~ yada yada yada.

     I copied the .gcf files from the rar file into that steam directory. That steam directory being the one on my F: drive.

     Once I have all the .gcf copied there, I extracted the portal file from the download to my desktop, which is on the C: drive. Anything obvious I have done wrong so far?

     you gotta have everything in the same directory like cs or dod. inside the steamapps folder you put your portal folder there

     i don’t get it, why are you trying to get an answer to make your hl2 epi2 working in the portal post?

     the solutions to make the game working are everywhere, and when i say game i mean PORTAL not HALF-LIFE 2 EPISODE 2… stop asking and answering here for episode 2, even if the solution is similar doesn’t mean it’s going to work for episode 2

     now, just in case you are still trying to get your portal game to work, here it is the guide to make your PORTAL game work (NOT hl2 epi 2):
     1. find the unl-prtl.rar file and extract all its content to a new folder anywhere in your pc (example C:\portaldir)
     2. extract the content of the fix (unl-prtlf.rar) to the “C:\portaldir\portal” directory and replace the file when asked
     3. still in the same directory right-click the “hl2.exe” file and chose “create shortcut”
     4. right-click the shortcut and chose properties, and in the target field just add “-steam -game portal” (without quotes), in the end, it should look like this: “C:\portaldir\portal\hl2.exe -steam -game portal” (without the quotes)
     5. click ok and try running the game by double-clicking the shortcut you’ve just created

     I have a problem when starting.. i have done all the crap u say.. but when i double click the shortcut it opens and plays the movie then shows a “not responding” message that says: “Hl2.exe is not responding bla bla. AppName: hl2.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: vguimatsurface.dll
     ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000114a1″ i really need help

     why did you move them to the steam directory?? Read the NFO file. All you need to do is extract the files, it will create a “Portal” folder. In that folder will be a Half-Life icon. Make a shortcut to your desktop. Right click the shortcut go to properties and change the properties like mentionned above, then run it, that’s it, don’t forget to put the fixed files in the portal folder, that’s what i did and it works great

     I’m having the same problem as TWOY. I extracted the files, copied the fix, and created the shortcut. When I double click the shortcut it shows me the Valve opening video then it goes to the Portal Loading screen. It sits there for a bit then it crashes saying hl2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. I don’t have a copy of steam installed on my laptop (which is what I’m currently trying to get this installed on). Any suggestions?

     OK, i’m sorry to post problems for episode 2 here. It’s not the right place. Well, where is the right place? Is there a forum for episode2? Thank you.

     For those of you on Windows Vista Having problems with the game crashing after Valve loading screen.

     Right click on your shortcut and go to properties
     go to the “Compatibility” shortcut
     click “Run this program in compatibility mode for:
     make sure “Windows XP(Service Pack 2)” is selected

     and now it works.

     WAIT A SECOND, I CANT BELIVE IM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY EDIT YOUR SHORTCUT SO IT DOESNT FAIL?

111. CEEH
     October 12th, 2007 | 22:36

     I have the same problem as unclesamar, when I add “-steam -game portal to the target line, it doesnt let me hit okay, it says the target is not valid. any help would be greatly appreciated.

112. soulcrew
     October 12th, 2007 | 22:40

     it works its nothing to do with halflife 2 install i have 2 hard drives and portal is on 2nd hard drive so not even close to steam the fix only changes a line of text , if your getting the load screen then you have done it right if your pc crashes /hangs consider if you have a gcard that can handle the game

113. soulcrew
     October 12th, 2007 | 22:43

     or like mentioned above vista? right click and change compatability this works but….game is toss as fook

114. soulcrew
     October 12th, 2007 | 22:50

     the whole orange box thing is a rip off consider most people who are waitting for tf2 already fooking playing hl2 or css so have them .so why we have to pay for games we already have? portal is total crap graphics on par with tfc. the biggest selling point for hl2 was css ? anyone who ever owned it can tell you that , you had to buy a single player game what was good , but not jaw dropping , to get counter strike source , now hl2 comes top of nearly all polls as best game of all time,it wouldnt if you didnt have access to the online mods for the game. same with orangebox i only want tf2 not the rest of the shyte that comes with it

     I’ll try it

116. kebrus
     October 12th, 2007 | 23:06

     for those who are having problem edit the shortcut, try one of the following combinations in the target field, try to not copy/paste, type it instead:

     C:\portaldir\portal\hl2.exe -steam -game portal

     “C:\portaldir\portal\hl2.exe” -steam -game portal

     “C:\portaldir\portal\hl2.exe -steam -game portal”

     Have tried everything can’t get “mountappfilesystem() failed:” error to work please help please!

118. Drakmyth
     October 12th, 2007 | 23:20

     It seems that there are a couple recurring problems.

     1.) problems with the shortcut
     – the target should read
     “C:\portaldir\portal\hl2.exe” -steam -game portal
     INCLUDING quotes where the path is the location of your hl2.exe.

     2.) Error saying “Mount AppFileSystem() failed:”
     – Make sure you extract the files from unl-prtl.rar, NOT any other rar file. Also, inside the SteamEmu.ini file make sure the MountCacheManual is set to 405. If this doesn’t work, try setting it to 428.

     3.) hl2.exe crashes at loading screen.
     – Not a clue. Anyone have a solution for this? This is where I’m at

119. Phrame
     October 12th, 2007 | 23:21

     I’m trying this Portal on laptop (XP SP2, Ati Mobility Radeon X1600, 1GB memory) and I’ve done so far: Unrar files to from , copied the fix to and made shortcut for with necessary adds.
     When I start the shortcut, I got the Valve logo and then my screen shows some weird, static colors for some time. Then I got to the main game screen, only I don’t see the selections at all. I can see the animation about security camera panning around showing cubic room. I can hear sounds when I move mouse over invisible selections and click on them, but I can’t see them.
     Sorry for the long post.

     Help or any info would be very much appreciated =)

120. Drakmyth
     October 12th, 2007 | 23:23

     Oh, a note on the 3rd problem, it seems that on Vista it helps to set compatability for the shortcut to Win XP SP2. I don’t currently know any way to help with those on XP, such as myself.

121. Drakmyth
     October 12th, 2007 | 23:24

     @Phrame
     That sounds like a video problem, make sure you have the latest drivers for your video.

122. Phrame
     October 12th, 2007 | 23:25

     Sorry for the unclear start. I meant to say: “I’ve done so far: Unrar files to E:\Portal from unl-prtl.rar, copied the SteamEmu.ini fix to E:\Portal\portal and made shortcut for hl2.exe with necessary adds.

     October 13th, 2007 | 03:10

     Well, I’ve read everything here, but I’m getting a different problem. I did the whole -steam -game portal thing but whenever I click on the shortcut, I get this error:

     The procedure entry point D3DPERF_SetOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library d3d9.dll.

     I get that error twice then an “Bla has encountered a problem” window.

     Anyone know what’s wrong?

     Hmmm…Right after the Valve loading screen, I get some funky green/yellow colors on my screen which then proceeds into a blue screen of death…could anyone provide some help?

129. happy!

     if anyone else is having BSOD problems this solved it for me: -steam -game portal -window -dxlevel 81 +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 -dev
     plsvr all of this after the path to the exe

131. h0l0cau5to
     October 13th, 2007 | 05:21

     i dont know if they are all necessary, the two first are, but the others i dont know, try and mess around with it, maybe you can play fullscreen and with dx9. hope it helps, good luck

     October 13th, 2007 | 07:00

     Well I still haven’t gotten it working on my laptop, but I followed the same method of installing it on my desktop and it works perfectly. The vguimatsurface.dll error I’m pretty sure has to do with the video card. My laptop uses onboard video which evidently isn’t good enough.

     Follow This For Portal Installation

     (1) Important You Can Only Extract Into “C” Drive Where Windows Is Installed

     (2) Then Create A Folder Called “Portal” So It Will Look Like This C:\Portal

     (3) After You Extracted The Unleashed Rar Files Into C:\Portal ,Then Get The

     Portal Fixed-Unleashed rar File And Extract Into C:\Portal\portal And It Should
     OverWrite The “SteamEmu” Original Press Yes To OverWrite The File..

     (4) Then In Folder Where The Halflife 2 Exe Is Which Is Called “hl2″ And Is A Orange Icon

     Right Click The Icon And Create ShortCut AnyWhere On The Computer

     (5) Then Right Click The Shortcut Go Properties And Where It Says “Target” Copy And Paste

     This Information In C:\Portal\portal\hl2.exe -steam -game portal Press Apply

     (6) And Thats It Have Fun

     *******But Remember You Have To Extract********
     *The Game First To C:\Portal By Creating The Folder Portal First*

136. Smoothtony@Vader
     October 13th, 2007 | 16:50

     Vader thanks for your explanation on how to get this to work, however it is a bit incorrect regarding it must be extracted to C drive (or drive with windows installed).

     If you use the Unleashed SteamEmu.ini fix http://www.newtorrents.info/torrent/28452/Portal.FIX-Unleashed.html

     You can put it on any drive and folder of your choosing. Once the fix is downloaded backup the original SteamEmu.ini then copy fixed Unleashed SteamEmu.ini over the original.

     You should now be able to run it no matter where you extracted it.

     By the way good call on the Unreal Tournament 3 demo!!!

147. thomas
     October 14th, 2007 | 16:27

     It works,i’ll try to explain it in some simple steps

     1- Unrar Portal-Unleashed with Winrar
     2- Create a shortcut of hl2 exe on your desktop
     3- Right click on shortcut, properties,and write this “C:\Program Files\portal\hl2.exe -steam -game portal” and press apply
     4- Download Portal.FIX-Unleashed
     5- Unrar content of the fix with Winrar
     6- Copy the document which in most cases is SteamEmu to the Portal folder overwriting the existing one
     7- Now the game should work

     If any questions write them in the comments.

148. chronja
     October 14th, 2007 | 18:33

     I placed the gameinfo.txt file in the hl2 folder, and i can start up the game, but when i click new game it shows the Half Life 2 chapters starting at Insertion Point, and when i click start new game nothing happens. Also in the backround it shows the Half Life 2 screen from the 1st level where you get out of the train station. Whats going on?

149. chronja
     October 14th, 2007 | 18:45

     OK nvm i got it. Drakmyths comment was a lot of help w/ putting the -steam -game portal OUTSIDE the quotes. cant wait to start playing =)

150. Sav
     October 14th, 2007 | 22:26

     Now why the hell didn’t they put specific directions in the NFO?? Games works fine when you use thomas’ directions and you add -steam -game portal outside the quotes.

     October 15th, 2007 | 06:33

     i got the same problem as asher. i downloaded the webupdate of directx (luckily it downloaded and installed fine), restarted but i get the same message again. i checked my d3d9.dll, its in the System32 folder where it should be. Should i put it somewhere else too? I tried putting it in the portal folder just for the sake of it, but nothing. something about entry point not found, D3DPERF_SetOptions could not be located in d3d9.dll, and i get this message twice right before the windows “send error report?” message box pops up. i did the shortcut thing and updated the ini and tried everything suggested here, but the problem is a totally different one and I only found Asher with the same problem.

     October 15th, 2007 | 12:56

     I have played through the game completely, but now my bonus maps crash at the end of each level (in the end level chamber)

     I can’t seem to figure out why? Do these maps need extra twiddling to get them working properly?

     October 16th, 2007 | 12:10

     The comment from asdf

     Wich says that you will have to change the value from 428 to 405 works like a charm!

161. thomas
     October 16th, 2007 | 13:43

     The blue screen which most of you have is caused by not having the appropriate video cards,i had the same problems before i changed my video card.
     The crashes are the same thing, your video card cant support it in most casses.
     About the bonus maps, i have noi clue why they crash for you danieru.
     Jemp, the crash is probably caused by your video card, although i cant be certain, Vista is really unpredictable for games.

     For the problem “Mountapplfilesystem() failed” even after changing 428 to 405 … I resolved this problem by changing the first line ..\ to .. (removing the trailing backslash)

     Hope this help (sorry for my english)

165. psylock
     October 16th, 2007 | 20:32

     do this AFTER getting/installing the fix:

     Find the fix here: http://rapidshare.com/files/61762416/pfix.rar

     1. Make your shortcut for hl2.exe that is INSIDE the portal unleashed folder -the one you downloaded, not hl2.exe from the game half life 2

     2. Go to where it says TARGET under shortcut tab.

     3. Add quotes around whatever is there -like: “kevin/portal/hl2/portal” or whatever your place is

     4. After adding the quotes place these words OUTSIDE of the quotes -steam -game portal

     5. If it didn’t work after that, go to run. Type in dxdiag. Then go to sound. Where it says sound acceleration move the bar to none. Then, go back to the shortcut and type all of these after the quotes:
     -steam -game portal -window -dxlevel 81 +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 -dev

     It should run fine now.

     D3DPERF_SetOptions could not be located in d3d9.dll
     Mountapplfilesystem() failed’
     Any errors pertaining to this, are related to a fault within your directX, suggest you re-install 9b, 9c to correct problem.

     Visual problems such as water problems should clear up, also recommended video driver upgrade or re-installation.

169. thomas
     October 17th, 2007 | 14:05

     The crash is probably caused by your video card, which in most cases is, i would recommend installing new drivers, if that doesnt work, you need a better video card.
     The quotes are not neede, at least for me they aren’t.

     So yeah my portal folder is only 42 mo and my Portal-Unleashed (which cointains all the *gcf files that are 4.92 Go).
     Is this a problem and the main reason i’m getting :

     FailedtoMountApp()files crap?

     I’ve tried everything you guys suggested, including the -steam -game portal -window -dxlevel 81 +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 -dev and moving portal folder all over the place.. I will try updating my video card (radeon 9800 SE Pro) and let you guys know. I have the same problem:FailedtoMountApp()files crap

     well, i downloaded directx again, this time from a source other than windows update (they didnt let me update or reinstall, saying the version i had was new):
     http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/directx.html
     that is the redistributable version, and you dont have to jump through window’s hoops and loops just to download it
     after downloading that, i don’t get the d3d9 error anymore, now I just get what everyone else is getting MountAppFilesystem failed… i guess its progress

     Yes, finally. I got it to work after trying nearly everything (changed the 428 to 405, made shortcut, did all that) but the thing that made the difference was Dxarf’s comment. I didn’t read it too carefully before.

     The fix was to update the SteamEmu.ini file to say
     SteamAppsDir = C:\portal\ (the main folder I extracted everything to, which contains another portal folder, and all the gcf files) as opposed to SteamAppsDir = C:\portal\portal\ (the folder that hl2.exe, SteamEmu.ini, etc are in)

     after reading it again and noticing he said the folder with the gcf files, I remembered that I linked it to the wrong folder, so I redid it knowing it wouldnt hurt and was very surprised to find that it finally worked. thanks all

     I don’t actually know what you mean, I suggest you use this link:

     http://games.katz.cd/download/1479327/Game/Portal-Unleashed/

     This is what I used. It’s faster than rapidshare, but not super speedy. If you continuously download them, you can get them in about 36 hours.

     None of these were corrupt for me.

     I have a solution for most people that seems to work. Look in the middle of this post for the answer to the mount problem.

     My SteamEmu.ini is fixed-
     This is EXACTLY what my SteamEmu.ini file says:

     [Options]
     SteamAppsDir = ..\
     ; Used if UseCacheFileSystem = True

     UserName = Unleashed
     ; This will be returned on SteamGetUser.

     EmailAddress = Unleashed@owned-steam.org
     ; This will be returned on SteamGetCurrentEmailAddress.

     Language = english
     ; Default language, if none is entered will be english.
     ; This entry can be used if the game is multilanguage!

     MountOptionalCache = False
     ; This will mount optional cache files (Most likely these are low violence gfx)

     MountCacheManual = 405
     ;With this you can manually mount cache files, but you will need the CacheID to mount optional caches.

     CurrentAppId = 400 //Portal

     SubscribedSubIds = 0, 503 //Steam, Portal Retail

     ————————————————————-
     THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM HERE:

     Now, there are variations for some people, where it says

     MountCacheManual = 405

     Some people use 428, 405, or 408 mainly.

     ————————————————————-

     Make sure not to forget: some people where it says:

     SteamAppsDir = ..\

     Some people need to actually write their filepath. So when you go into the folder that holds SteamEmu.ini copy to “address” portion and replace it with whatever was in your filepath.
     -Like:

     C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Game\unl-prtl\portal\

     That works for some.
     One guy got rid of his problems by changing the

     SteamAppsDir = ..\

     from ..\ to ..

     I am very dedicated to helping you guys understand how to fix this. So, if you have a problem, feel free to ask.

     Yeah, I’m getting this

     Failed to load the launcher DLL:

     The specified module could not be found.

     Yeah, so I must be doing something wrong.

     AIM me please : o crap itz kaos

     totally crashing on advanced/bonus levels

     I’m pretty sure you can play team fortress 2 now.- At least the beta. I heard that it was the finished product or the beta was out on the orange box.
     Try http://www.steampowered.com/ for more details

194. psylock
     October 18th, 2007 | 02:32

     I have searched. There is no way as of now to not crash after the advanced levels. There must just be a file missing. But it shouldn’t be that big a deal, seeing as how unleashed is free.

     Don’t expect perfection if it’s free.
     -First rule of downloading

     Mr. Bond

     For the launcher.dll try to find the file that you extracted it from -try removing .rar or whatever files and opening them until you find the SPECIFIC one/two that it is stored in and re-extract it, then move it in the portal/bin folder and replace the old one. if it doesn’t work after that, use the link I posted up earlier.

     Psylock, Thanks for the response.

     Is there any way we can contact each other live? I can provide screenshots.

     I have a vent server we can communicate on.

     Dear Psylock,

     Brain Fart on my end.

     Reformatted PC. HL2 wasn’t installed

     Could that be the problem?

     I think it is. My HL2.exe didnt have the Orange Icon

     Make sure that you have the CORRECT hl2.exe –The one IN your portal folder. Not the one in C:\program files\steam\

     Make sure that your portal game is NOT in your sourcemods folder. Make it separate from everything else.

     BTW- The game will run somewhat faster if placed closer to the beginning of a target line. (use a short one)

     Long: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\portal\Portal-Unleashed\unl-prtl\portal

     Short: C:\unl-prtl\portal

     You SHOULD have steam installed (just in case)

     You MUST NOT run steam while playing portal unleashed.

     Make sure to read my earlier posts before you ask any questions, THEN tell me if you don’t understand my directions.

     I’m out until tomorrow- peas.
