I can't see through portals
For some reason I can't see through the portals, when I put the 2 portals they seem as if they were closed, without being able to see what is on the other side, does anyone have a solution please?

If you can't see through portals in Portal 2, it may be due to game settings or compatibility issues with your hardware. Here are a few steps that may help fix the issue:

1. Check portal rendering settings: In the game settings, make sure that the "Multi-Render Portal Depth" is set to a value greater than 0. This may affect the display of portals.

2. Add the "-vulkan" launch option: Some users have reported that adding the "-vulkan" launch option to the game's launch options solves the portal display issue. To do this, right-click Portal 2 in your Steam library, select "Properties", then under "General", enter "-vulkan" in the "Launch Options" field.

3. Disable multi-threading: In some cases, disabling Multi-threading (Multicore Rendering) in the video settings may help. Go to Settings > Video > Advanced Settings and disable this option.

4. Update your graphics card drivers: Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card. Updating your drivers may resolve compatibility issues.

5. Verify the integrity of game files: In your Steam library, right-click Portal 2, select Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This will ensure that all game files are in good order.

If the issue persists after following these steps, we recommend contacting the Steam Community Forums or Customer Support for further assistance.

so i know why this is happening but i dont know how to fix it... its happening due to some rendering issues, although you could try to change something in the video settings and see if that helps

https://github.com/xoxor4d/p2-rtx/releases This is the working version, you need to place the downloaded files in the portal 2 folder and use the start portal 2 rtx to launch the mod. Ps read the installation instructions on Github.
