Portal hanging at loading screen

InfiniteDeath · 05-13-2010, 06:48 PM

Hey, I was able to play earlier with no problem, but now Portal is freezing at the loading screen. I have to kill the process. Anyone find a fix?

Last night, I finished installing Portal

When I would attempt to run, I had the validation problem, followed by an error message stating that the servers were to busy.

This morning, that problem seems to have been alleviated,however, the program gets stuck on the "fuzzed-out" loading screen; it just sits there and spins. The program doesn't crash, because I am able to use 'command-alt' to switch programs.

I am updating OSX from 10.6 to 10.6.3 to see if that fixes the problem

Ditto the two posters above; however, I was able to play Portal again just by (force) quitting and relaunching Steam...

I had the same issue. Could not resolve it, even tried to redownload Portal.

Turned out that I just had to restart the whole system (like with Windows).

I tried a restart, but I am still getting this issue.
