Download New Portal 2 Patch via Steam

Portal 2 has just received a brand new patch on the PC and Mac platforms, which was released by Valve, its developer and publisher, through the Steam online digital distribution service.

Portal 2 has been released for almost two weeks, and already Valve made a few updates to the game, solving some of the issues reported by players.

Now, through the newest patch, the developer has fixed many glitches that resulted in game crashes during certain events, like when the player minimized the game, or at certain points during its single-player campaign, like at the beginning of Chapter 6.

Check out all of the things included in the new Portal 2 patch below.

- Fixed: Occasional crash after Alt-Tab/minimizing or running in a window on certain graphics hardware.

- Fixed: Player stuck at the beginning of Chapter 6
- Fixed: Crash attempting to use other weapons (e.g. mods) with Portal 2
- Fixed: Mouse cursor doesn't highlight UI elements in game on Mac OSX
- Fixed: Numerous localization bugs and improvements (also added Czech and Turkish localized text)
- Fixed: Overflow bug in keyvalues
- Fixed: Voice functionality regression (voice again enabled by default)
- Fixed: Joystick now defaults to off in order to avoid issues with non-joystick hardware that registers itself as a joystick
- Fixed: French sentences are not wrapping correctly in subtitles and commentary
- Improved: Handling of Mac OSX crashes
- Improved: Updates and bug fixes to Robot Enrichment
- Improved: Reliability on unsupported Intel Mobile Series 4 Express chipsets
- Removed: Unsupported console commands ("retry", "switch_teams") that caused problems if used.

Valve also revealed over the weekend that Portal 2 will get its first actual batch of downloadable content this summer, consisting of things like new test chambers, a challenge mode for the single and multiplayer modes, as well as leaderboards for players who want to complete against others.

The new Portal 2 patch can be downloaded through Steam right now.
