Was anyone able to install and run this game with the new Portal Launcher?
I was partially successfull tho.
I used the standard installation template that comes with crossover. But I downloaded the PortalLauncher-Installer from the Game-Website, than used that .exe file in the crossover installer instead of steam. I also switched the Windows Version of the bottle to Windows 7 instead of XP. Than install everything following the instructions.
The game installs successfully, the launcher works fine. It also patches the game and keeps it up to date.
Now is the part where I get stuck: when you launche the game over the launcher, it opens up andstarts playing the intro videos (nvidia, etc.), at least I can hear its sound. but there is no video, the windows remains black. Unfortunatelly, the login screen, where you log into the game with your account, consists such a video too, the background of that login mask is a looped video, so that keeps black as well, with no chance to login.
I assume, the game would run fine, if there wasnt this issue with the black login screen. Has anyone an idea how this could be fixed?
Those intro videos are in a file with a .pak ending, and the videos itself are in a .usm container, wich contain an MPEG1 video stream.
