You should probably know that Valve released Portal 2 to download for the users, who pre-ordered the game. However, you cant launch it yet. A friend of mine managed to launch it by modifying 2 files of Portal 2 (dont know which ones exactly). I asked him what engine does the game use, and he answered that it’s probably built on Alien Swarm engine.
So, if this is true, it means that the Portal 2 wont have bunnyhop/abh? Keep your fingers crossed.
You’re worried about the wrong glitches. ABH was only very slightly useful in the Portal 1 run. Every other OOB glitch was the best thing in the world.
I dont actually have Portal 2 pre-ordered, and I dont even know how could you launch it. Here is my friend’s Steam Profile. Ask him. Im also not sure if this is legal or VAC safe. Use it at your own risk
You don’t decrypt the files, there is some thing that you can do where you change the AppID of some other game so it looks like you are running Portal 2 but you are really running something else.
The progress will only get slower the longer it goes on. There’s no way it will be “booted” ahead of time. ~24 hours ago we were like 20 hours ahead of schedule, today only 9 hours.
And right now, ~40 mins after your post it’s already 1 day 15h until release.
