I played Portal 1 for a while yesterday. When I was done, Steam asked to be updated and I let it. Since that update Portal has refused to launch. Here's what happens: The intro videos play, and then the screen stays black. There is absolutely no disk or CPU activity. It's like it just refuses to load. System monitor says hl2.exe is at "futex_waite_queue_me" Other source games (hl2) still work just fine. Here's what I've tried: deleting and re-downloading portal updating wine changing windows versions, winetricks deleting config folder for portal verifying game data Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the reply, James. About steam says: Steam API v010 Steam package versions: 1535/1535 I have also tried: running in a window, directx settings changing from win98 to winxp Please let me know what other information would be helpful.
