    Yes I'm glad that we all work together on this. Even work together.
    Yea, I don't think we would have gotten this far this quick without everyone that has helped out.

    They're "working on it".
    So it should be fixed by Summer 2016?

    I do like next weeks release a little bit, because it unlocks earlier in the day.

    Edited:

    What the fuck? The Pictures are Portal 1 in the thumbnails, but when you click on them they're Portal 2

    Its like some parallel universe where your actions in Portal 1 actually take place in Portal 2 in the same spots. Or something.

    It might be faked, but I'm sure we've never seen those screenshots before.

    I hadn't been able to purchase anything on Steam since Sunday. I finally got a reply from Steam support yesterday instructing me to delete everything in the Steam folder but the Steamapps folder and Steam.exe. I try restarting my computer and it hangs on the Windows logo. I shut down and start up again and it's asking me to repair my Windows install. :/

    Great ARG Valve!
    Did you get Steam confused with system32? They both start with "s", it's an easy mistake.

    His only game is Portal First Slice, and he signed up to Steam the same day those screenshots were taken.

    Well, you can do that with the local folders/files that are saved on your PC.

    Well the thumbnails are generated by steam its self, they're in a folder in the folder the screenshots are taken. he could have replaced the main screenshots with those pictures with the same name.

    I'm pretty sure screenshot thumbnails don't suddenly change to pictures of a entirely separate game.

    Either in a method similar to how you fake playing a game, or he's ONE OF THEM. Time to get some info out of him. :toughguy:

    The important thing right now is if you have the achievement "Few and Proud". If you do then in the console log into "Jsharman" and type "volunteer". Then run the "cd recruitment" again, followed by "recruit".
    doesnt work, doing volunteer, it says iam not eligible to volunteer

    Have you seen those images before? Why are there tags in the background of some kind? It's probably not some troll. Plus Dinosaur, it reads back to the first ARG for P2.

    This is fucking nuts. People are being "kidnapped" now? What's next? Pre-Purchasers of Portal 2 will have a squad of ninjas visit their home with a bag of potato chips?

    So, am I completely incompetent or something? I've been getting the potatoes left and right, but the Ball one seems to elude me. I've even tried replacing the save with one that is apparently set up perfectly, but all that did was erase my saves.
    Ok. I'm going to help you out. I had the same problem. In the folder where you put the saved game you downloaded, there should be a file named UDKAchievements.ini . Open that, and ctrl-F to find encrypteduserid. Copy that number. Then open the save file and ctrl-F to find encrypteduserid again and paste over that number with the one you copied. Search for all the userid lines and replace them.

    Then load up The Ball, load the first save game, stay underwater till you take damage, then run through fire once, then get the proper distance from the ball (233? it'll turn blue if correct) and wait.

    Ta da!

    Hope that helped.
