Portal 2
Levels won't "build" in level editor.
I'm playing on Mac 10.7 and am completely blocked in editing levels. Regardless of how simple the change i've made was, It loads the "building geometry" bar to about 90% and it stops there. I still have the cycling wheel around the logo, so it's still "thinking," though I'm not sure what about.

It has never crashed or ♥♥♥♥♥♥ frozen at this screen. I've never ♥♥♥♥♥♥ an error message either. It just spins around and pretends to build my level forever until I cancel the build.

Cursory research suggests that not many people have experienced this bug, so there aren't any solutions or suggestions available. I've only found one person who has the same issue I do, and it was in a comment on youtube.

Previous to this point, I wasn't able to load ANY Portal 2 content. It would crash as soon as I attempted to load any gameplay. I fixed this by copying my portal 2 game files from my steamapps folder into my username folder. Now everything runs fine, except for this bug.

I've tried closing and restarting both Portal 2 and Steam, tried verifying my files. Any other suggestions and/or people with a similar issue?

Thanks for your help!

Also, if there's a more appropriate forum for this kind of issue, I'd love for someone to point me in the right direction (or for a mod to just move this there I guess).
I'm having the same issues!
I have the same problem. In fact, I made a post about it without seeing this one.

This is extremely frustrating. I also have a Mac.

Same Thing! REALLY ANNOYING!
The same problem here.. I think, the Authoring Tool is the bad guy. I can't start this Tool on my mac. It always says "Not available on your Platform...
I'm on OSX 10.6.8 and have exactly the same problem with the 'Building Geometry' progress bar getting stuck forever at about 90%. I've also verified my cache files but that didn't help.

I've looked in the console log and can see many errors like this:

Hope someone can help as I only downloaded Portal 2 for OSX so I could build my own test chambers.
I've had the same issue. It didn't start until I'd been using it for a couple weeks, and not sure way. Very annoying since I spent a lot of time on one chamber and now can't build it.
I don't know whether to be happy or upset that there are so many other people with the same issue.

In the past, I've not had any issues with level editing. Worth noting.
Yeah, when the level editor was first released I had no problems. I only recently wanted to start it again, and I have had no luck. It also seems that most if not all of us play on a Mac.
So it might be safe to assume this problem is only relative to OSX users.
Im on osx 10.7.5 and experiencing the same issue, I only started trying user built levels yesterday, and started trying to build them today. I can play other users levels, and I can create and save the levels I build, but not compile or "rebuild" them. My level geometry loading bar gets stuck at around 90% like several people mentioned. It seems to be a recent problem, so hopefully it is an easy fix?
I'm on 10.6. I just varified the game files but everything is fine. I don't know whats going on.

All of the things that pop up so far are mac problems. I just recently got the computer version so I don't know how long this has been happening. Has there been any updates recently?
I'm having the same problem!

It started sometime in early February. I hadn't done anything different, and this has never happened until now.

I go to build or publish any map, and it hangs/stops progress at approximately 90% of Building Geometry. I even created a tiny 1x4 map and it still happens.

I have tried:
- rebooting
- resetting modem/router
- verifying the game cache multiple times
- deleting my preview.bsp/vmf/prt/log files
- deleting clientregistry.blob
(...and nothing works. Same problem, every time.)

I'm on a 2009 iMac, OSX 10.6.8. The console doesn't give me any clues, but then again I'm not a programmer.

This is, of course, really frustrating.

I have same problem and have struggled to find other people with the issue. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I have the game on Xbox 360, but the main reason I got it for my computer was the map editor and now I cannot even use it. >:(
