Annoying Green Lines
I just started playing and I noticed these annoying green lines when I pass through a portal.

If this is explained later, just tell me that it is explained later (don't tell me what it is).
If it isn't explained and it is a feature, please tell me what it means.
If it is a bug, I will add it to the bug list, but does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.



Here is a screenshot of the lines:

That is a video card issue, I think.
I get a similar effect except it's blue and less severe.
Maybe adjusting/disabling some of your video card settings can fix it (probably settings unique to your card or at least that are not included in the game's graphic settings).

It is a bug, I also have it...and like smirking...I get a more bluish white shade. It only happens for a split second and really doesnt take away from the game. I would however like to see it fixed, if possible.

So, has the bug already been reported then? I may as well delete this thread. Thanks for your help.

Maybe it's a result of a different portal gun model being used?

Just some radioactivity leaking, the lab boys told me it was completely safe!

Haha. In all honesty, it's a bug with particle systems that we cannot fix.

I also have this lines sometimes, but my ones are blueish white. I thought it was an annoying feature because those line seem to connect the portals. Maybe they are a manifestation of the wormhole ^^ .

So, who of us here uses Nvidia and who uses AMD/ATI? (I hope no one is stuck with integrated graphics instead of a dedicated gpu at least.)

I use Nvidia at the moment (I'm a fan of both), and I get the mystical blue wormhole artifact phenomena, with no harmful side effects beyond a bleeding nose, motion sickness, and occasional migraines, but I would expect that from the strains of warped space-time travel and extreme shifts in the direction of gravitational pull, totally safe though so long as you keep taking the pink pills they gave you (they gave you test subjects pills as well, right? please tell me these are not small doses of poison).

It's a bug. Particles crash over your monitor xD. (Like me makes game lose 5 FPS) but that's game bug not your graphic card.

I use AMD Graphic Card btw.
