Basically nothing. Maybe translations and subtitles minorly, but other that, nothing.

*Changes:

Linux / SteamOS beta is now available
Steam controller support beta
Some translation updates
Fixed bugs with triple-monitor displays
Some other bug fixes *

Source :p

Translation = it's the most stupid way to be messed up by an update for the vast majority of users >.<

Triple monitor you say?! What's wrong with the one at my rear?
If they'd at least implemented the customizable shortcuts......nah.....

You forgot the pinch of salt over your left shoulder part Anyways thanks a lot! Perhaps that's a good Omen at least for me, since I better should be learning...

shit.

my p2 authoring tools is broken as well.

Whyyyyy????

If CamBen's fix doesn't work, you can do it manually: install the patch, rename your bin folder to bin_, validate (creating a new bin folder). Then switch between the bin folders to use Hammer and Portal.

Works on both 64 and 32 bits systems?

Yes, works on 64 amd 32, at least for me it did, since i tested on win xp and win 8. For people who have their steam games under program files and not (x86), this download may require you to create a new directory for portal 2 under program files (x86) that includes this bind folder and the default game info.txt in the corresponding layout in order to start hammer and switch the settings back to your defaults using the "options" menu under tools.

first valve broke the original source sdk, and now they've broken p2's authoring tools. im starting to wonder if they are doing this because they plan to make people have to buy source 2's authoring tools, and are trying to get rid of the old source engine tools as an alternative...not something i think valve would do, but...

Great. Just great. I've fixed portal 2 and the authoring tools, but now my mod is broken, and crashes on startup. I really can't win at this can I?

Was directed to this link after I made a post for the same problem
I will be trying cambens fix soon

Ok, I have a second part of the fix. This also fixed my mod. Put this in your "Common/Portal 2/portal2/" directory, replacing your "bin" file.

bin.zip

Use this only if your Portal 2 game is not starting, and with the instructions posted before.

Does this kind of problem ever happened (or is happening) with people that use CS:GO or other authoring tools? I even heard that Dota 2 Authoring Tools is being developed...

And CamBen, I tried your download: model browser didn't work but P2 did. I'm keeping your first download, even having to verify content to run P2, it helps anyway!

Wishing a time-travel, so I could opt to not update Portal 2 automatically.

What do you mean "excluding the folders directly at the top"? Folder names?

Excluding the folders at the top means just that. There are folders at the top, don't copy those. Then also download the other bin folder I posted, and replace the other bin directory specified.

Same problem here. Not that I need to confirm it with you guys but I'll be waiting for a official fix from Valve. Even though your custom fix may work perfectly I have a bad history of custom fixes so I'll be waiting for a official fix, no offence. Hope they'll take this problem seriously.

EDIT: I'm experiencing problems with my p2map_publish tool. I can't upload any sort of preview image. Does any of you have this problem or am I alone with this matter? Thought it could have something to do with the patch.

Why doesn't Valve go ahead and just not touch anything that's portal 2 related at this point.
They ultimately failed to even bring the tools out of beta so at least don't bother with the updates to fix flaws that no one even acknowledges that they exist, because every update they do does nothing but screw things up.

I'm hoping they release at least one more update, because this is ridiculous. But after that I agree.

This request might seem odd but since I can't get to the item browser I was wondering if someone, who doesn't have issues with the item browser, could give me the correct name (including path) of a sphere model. I need a name for a filter where only spheres are aloud and not cubes, but I don't have the .mdl name to put in there and can't look it up...

I tried to look for a model list on google but didn't find any.
