Portal
New update ruined my game on Steam Deck?
I was playing this last night, escaping after chamber 19, got to the bit where you have to get a turret to shoot a glass tube that then drops a block. You use that to go through a short vent with a fan, and are lead to sewer area. While on the long edge bit you portal to, the game automatically saves. (You then apparently reach a bigger chamber where you have to take out some turrets.)

It was getting late, so I saved just after the automatic save, in the chamber before turrets. Today, I fire up the Deck after work, there's an update for Portal. I run it, load the save, black screen. Game closes. I try again, same thing. I go back to an older save at the cube and the vent, that loads. Ok. I go on, get to the sewer and the bit with autosave, black screen again and game crashes. I try again, same thing in the same place.

I now can't seem to be able to play the rest of the game, and it's not even bc of a corrupt save. Bummer.

Should I try it on my laptop on the off-chance that the issue only occurs on the Deck?

same here
It hasn't been happening on my PC, maybe it has to do with the hardware?

I've also tried it on my laptop - crashed in the very same place. (Also multiple other people have been saying the same thing)

I checked it out. You can change the beta versions in the game properties and select "beta SteamPipe Beta" and the game will work. I didn't notice any differences from the original version
It worked for me.
I got to the part where you shoot a portal through a vent to get to the sewers in the escape rooms but I couldn't get much farther without the game freezing on me

they somehow broke portal so bad that steam outright crashes when launching it
huh
Having this same problem now on Steam Deck and PC Windows 11 (cloud save from Steam Deck). Same place and everything
Im late but apparently its cos of an update that fixed a crash, they accidentally imported stuff from the hl2 anniversary thing and that destroyed the game i think
