Portal 2 Beta For Linux Available

Valve have finally released beta version of Portal 2 for Linux.





To install Portal 2 Beta in Linux you need to switch to beta pipeline in steam.
To do this right click on "Portal 2 (Beta)" > Properties > BETA (tab) and from drop-down menu select "beta - BETA"

Even if it says Portal 2 (Beta) in Steam you need to switch to beta pipeline, game will install but it will not start (bug #46)



Keep in mind that this is beta version and it have bugs.

Some notable bugs are:
  • Portal 2 Beta is only available in English (bug #8)
  • Bugs with controller support (bug #14)
  • Announcer and Wheatley cannot be heard (bug #5) (fixed for new installations)

Fix for bug #5:

However, if you already downloaded Portal 2, there is one part of the update process which unfortunately cannot be completed automatically and you must do manually:
navigate to the bin/ directory under your Portal 2 directory (e.g. ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Portal 2/bin
rename libmiles.so to libMiles.so

Bug can be reported on GitHub.
