Portal 2 Keeps Crashing
Hi everyone,

I have been unable to play Portal 2 for the past few days. Prior to this, it has worked perfectly. I'm on a 2009 iMac running OSX 10.6.8.

This is what I sent to Steam Support (haven't heard from them in days and I am really desperate to play my game).

I have played Portal 2 many, many times without any problems. Recently, when I tried to launch Portal 2, it says "preparing to launch," the Portal 2 icon briefly appears in my Finder Dock, and then it closes and never opens. My friends see my status as "Playing Portal 2" for a second before going back to me just being "Online." The game completely does not open at all. I am totally unable to play my game. I don't know why this is happening. I haven't changed my OS, graphics card, sound cards, or any kind of hardware associated with my machine.

I did download a DLC called "Thinking With Time Machine" but I never played it, not even once. I uninstalled it anyways. I tried verifying files, deleting the game and reinstalling it (three times), deleting all files associated with Portal 2, restarting Steam, and restarting my computer. The problem remains the same. Sometimes I get an error about my local files being different than my cloud files, but that's only after I tried manually deleting/moving Portal 2 files.

I was going to try completely uninstalling Steam AND Portal 2, but I'm afraid that I'll end up being unable to play ANY of my games.

I also followed Steam's advice to "...restart your computer and then refresh your Steam files....Once completed, please verify the game's files." Didn't change a single thing.

Anyone have any ideas?

(Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place; I don't frequent the Steam forums.)

it keeps crashing at startup, or with the stupid turrets? For me, the crashes are triggered by the turrets. I'm stuck in chapter 8 :(

Defintitely at startup, though I've heard of people having problems with turrets in different threads. Please fix this, Valve!!

I've been back and forth with Steam Support and NOTHING has worked. Honestly, I think it just stopped working after the update. I would like to go back to an older version of Portal 2 or have another update that fixes this issue. Getting really frusturated.

So I just tried launching it and it opened with no problems. I have NO IDEA what caused this -- maybe Valve released an update? Definitely not something on my end.

Weird I'm using Mavericks 10.9.2 and the game works fine for me. :L

Yep, I am definitely thrilled! Guess you don't realize how good something is until it's gone. :)

Gonna leave this thread open though for others who might still have this problem.

I don't see how you solved the issue, I am struggling for days now to find a solution to this issue, Valve/Steam has not bother to contact me

Tried submitting a ticket to steam support got nothing but the message "here is a community that may be able to help" and it brought me to this discussion area, which so far is not a human being telling me how to fix my problem

well no because I deleted all local data because that was one of the suggestions. I don't even get the menu screen

My game crashes at the loading screen right before the main menu. What is the cause and are there any work-arounds?

Same problem here, I see a couple of graphic loading screen, and crash!
Never arrived at the first menu.
iMac 24" 2008, core duo 3.06 GHz, 4 GB RAM - OSX El Capitan
Maybe too little RAM (My machine doesn't allow more)?
