  • Is it the drivers? Also I have finished aftermath but I think there is a problem with the wall jump puzzle, unless I don't do it how it says, I can't always get the third portal into place and if I do, I usually slide right off the wall, I had to do it a different way to what it says.

-- I don't know if it's the difference in drivers, but I was able to fix the jittering issue in one of our maps by removing a dynamic 'flickering' light from an outdoor scene. I also know that different computers seem make the Portal physics engine act a little different. Jump distances are a little different as well as fall speeds and collisions. I'm not sure why the wall jump is acting up on you, but really it's the concept of this jump that we're trying to get across. If you understand why you can use a hallway to get up onto a ledge (with the remote walljump, you can even use a hallway to get up to other places...) then you should be good. I'm always interesting in seeing other ways that people solve things though, and I'd love to get a demo of your alternate solution. - RigorMortis 05:53, 18 Sep 2008 (PDT)
