+ | {{ii}} Before Portal 2 was announced, Valve ran an ARG that cryptically hinted at a sequel through an update in Portal. For users who have already completed the game, the update added a radio to find in every single level and carrying them all to the end to be vaporized caused them to emit shrieking noises. These noises could be decoded into pictures that seemed to hint at Portal 2, which was later confirmed. Since the ARG serves no purpose anymore other than to obtain the achievement itself, the audio that these radios play to alert you to their presence may be distracting. These radios can be disabled with a command. | ||

Disable the radios from the Portal 2 ARG ("Transmission Received" achievement)
- Before Portal 2 was announced, Valve ran an ARG that cryptically hinted at a sequel through an update in Portal. For users who have already completed the game, the update added a radio to find in every single level and carrying them all to the end to be vaporized caused them to emit shrieking noises. These noises could be decoded into pictures that seemed to hint at Portal 2, which was later confirmed. Since the ARG serves no purpose anymore other than to obtain the achievement itself, the audio that these radios play to alert you to their presence may be distracting. These radios can be disabled with a command.

Portal with RTX lower presets
- Portal with RTX DLC has very limited options to lower the graphical settings for the added ray tracing features. This results in limited performance on (older) ray tracing capable hardware.
Workaround: add more (unofficial) presets[citation needed] |
