Portal 2 linux native

«Gameplay of Portal 2 on Ubuntu 13.10, with maxed out graphics running at 1920×1080.

The Linux Beta is OUT NOW!! If you have it purchased, just download it and then right click it (in your Steam library), go to Properties, Beta and opt into the beta by selecting it. (This won’t be necessary once it’s officially released for Linux)

It’s been a long time coming, and one of the most expected titles from Valve that us Linux gamers have been waiting on!

With this release, it could mean that Counter Strike: Global Offensive may be around the corner for us.

As can be seen in this video, the game performs very well. However, do take note of two issues I’ve currently experienced with it:
1. Wheatley and Announcer voices are silent most of the time (this is a bug/issue)
2. The 360 controller works! However, in the menus the analog sticks are not recognized. Used the D-pad to maneuver in menus.

How to play Portal 2 on Linux

Portal 2 is the second game in the Portal series. It follows Chell, a woman trapped in a science testing facility, who uses a portal gun to complete tests. In this guide, we’ll show you how to play Portal 2 on Linux.

Portal 2 is native to Linux and came out on the platform Shortly after Valve released Steam for Linux. That said, the only way to play the game on Linux is through Steam, so we must go over how to install the Steam for Linux client.

Ubuntu

On Ubuntu, you can install the latest release of Steam by making use of the apt install command below.

Debian

If you’re using Debian Linux, Steam is best installed by downloading the Steam DEB package directly from the Valve Steam website, rather than dealing with the Debian “Non-free” software repository.

To start the download of Steam onto your Debian Linux PC, make use of the following wget download command. It will follow the Steam DEB URL and download the DEB package directly to your home folder.

wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steam.deb

After downloading the Steam DEB package to your computer, the next step is to install the software. To install Steam on your Debian PC, make use of the dpkg command below.

Once the Steam DEB package is installed onto your computer, you’ll need to clean up and correct any dependency issues present on the system so that Steam can run correctly. Use the apt-get install -f command.

Arch Linux

On Arch Linux, the Steam app is available, but only through the “Multilib” software repository. To set it up, open up the /etc/pacman.conf file in a text editor. Once open, locate the “Multilib” line and remove the # symbol, as well as from lines directly below it. Then, save and re-sync Pacman with the command below.

With everything re-synced, you can quickly install the Steam app on your Arch Linux system with the following command.

Fedora/OpenSUSE

If you’re using Fedora or OpenSUSE, you can get the latest Steam app up and running by installing it through software repositories included with your operating system, and it’ll run games just fine. However, the Flatpak release of Steam seems to work better on these operating systems, and we suggest following those instructions instead.

Flatpak

To get Steam working on Flatpak, you’ll first need to enable the Flatpak runtime on your system. Thankfully, it is very easy to set up the Flatpak runtime. To do it, please follow our in-depth guide on the subject.

After setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, you will need to enable the Flathub app store. Flathub has many different types of apps available, including Steam. To enable it, use the following flatpak remote-add command below.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

With the Flathub app store enabled and ready to use on your Linux PC, Steam can be installed. To install Steam on your Linux PC, use the following flatpak install command below in a terminal window.

flatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam

Portal 2 linux native

Since patch 1.1.0 this should no longer be needed, as native mac/linux support was added
For anybody who proton doesn’t work for or just wants to. I’ve gone through the first few test chambers and everything seems fine, but keep in mind this is not officially supported and may not work perfectly.

1. Install both Portal Reloaded and Portal 2
2. Locate the game data folders for both — by default they should be in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common
3. Copy portal2.sh, portal2_linux, and the entire «bin» folder from the Portal 2 folder to the Portal Reloaded folder
(not everything from bin/ is needed, but it’s a lot easier just to take the whole folder)
4. Run Portal Reloaded using:

Note: setting launch options to run this instead doesn’t seem to work, due to Steam automatically using Proton to run it. Running it from a terminal/.desktop/whatever does work, and Steam will notice that you are playing it despite not running it through Steam.

This should work on Mac as well, just copy portal2_osx instead of portal2_linux. I don’t have any Mac devices, so I can’t test this out. (I’m not sure where the game data folders are located, you’ll have to figure this out yourself)

I have a 2 monitor setup and it seems to be getting very confused as to what do do with my mouse. The window seems to always start on the left monitor, and maps the entire area of both screens to the window, causing the mouse to need to be placed further to the right than normal to click on buttons. Moving the camera in-game works as expected, the problem does not carry over to there.
