Portal 2 Help Please?

Hey guys, Im kinda having a problem. You see, I've just finished downloading Portal 2 from Steam and whenever I launch the game, It just gets to the start menu and then crashes to my desktop. Any solution would be greatly appreciated! :D

Ehh sometimes it just does that tbh lol

Try reinstalling it as much as that sucks. I had a similar problem with TF2. Eventually had to reinstall Steam to get it to work. 

Haha ok then, I'll see if that works, I'll tell ya how it goes when I finish downloading so in other words, see ya in about 3 months! :D

I had a recurring problem with Portal 2 randomly exiting to desktop. Never found a solution. Luckily, it was just about bareable and the game is so good that it's worth the hassle.

I think there's some patch somewhere. Not entirely sure, though.

Perhaps trying to Verify Integrity of Game Cache will work. To do so go to your Game Library> Right Click Portal 2> Properties>Local Files Tab> Verify Integrity of Game Cache...

This has been a decent fix for almost every game I have had problems with on Steam, hopefully it works for you as well.

I had that problem too a few years ago, unfortunately I didn't find a solution:/

After I got a new PC it worked, might just be a software problem, wait for patches (if the game is still being updated) or go try the usual stuff: run as administrator, try win 7/vista/xp service pack, verify integrity, reinstall steam, reinstall portal or install portal on your drive with the OS (normally its C, worked with other games)
