I have an issue: in Nova Prospekt right after reuniting with Alyx the elevator we both need to go in just goes right through us and leaves us standing on an invisible floor with no way to proceed. :S

Any idea what might be the issue?

Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are anything but "mindless" - you just assume they're mindless because of how fast and insane they are. But not only do they require just as much, if not more, intellectual brain power as Half Life, you actually have to use this brain power 1000x faster, on the fly, non-stop.

To play Doom 2016 and Eternal on their harder difficulties you have to be constantly planning and strategizing in the heat of the battle. You have to be using the right weapons for the right enemies - which gets extremely complicated when you're facing multiple enemies that all require different weapons to dispatch quickly - you have to be moving to the correct areas of the map all the time, luring enemies to the right places and away from the wrong places, you have to pace yourself with the power ups lying around and use them at the correct moment - nothing worse than gauging it and thinking this is the right moment to use quad damage only to discover there's 10x more enemies in the next wave just as your quad damage runs out - I could go on but I'd be here all day.

In short, people who see a fast paced game and conclude "fast = mindless" are the truly mindless ones.

I've done exactly that and it still doesn't work for me.

I've noticed an issue that may or may not be caused by this mod.

When I slowly hold the Right Thumbstick to look around there is some very small but very noticeable stuttering. The screen jerks for a fraction of a second here and there and isn't completely smooth.

I don't see the same thing when using a mouse but then mouse movement isn't a constant.

It's more noticeable in certain areas than others - for instance, the playground area near the start (where you hear the two guys "don't worry, they'll find one"). If you stand about ten feet in front of the two Combine soldiers and turn slowly left and right, when the door behind the Combine soldiers is in the centre of the screen the screen jerks slightly.

Can someone attempt to replicate this and see if it does it on their system?

BTW my rig has a 9900k processor, 2080ti card and 16gb of ram - there is no conceivable way this could be caused by my rig not being powerful enough. :P

For anyone trying to install this for Portal Stories: Mel:

Portal Stories: Mel doesn't have a vvis.exe file. What you need to do is copy the one from Portal 2 located in \steamapps\common\Portal 2\bin and paste it into the bin of Portal Stories: Mel (Portal Stories: Mel actually has two bin folders, it's the one with the vvis.dll file that you need to copy it into).

Once you've done that just follow the same instructions.

If you want Portal Stories: Mel to have the exact same reshade settings as Portal 2 without wasting time setting it yourself just copy the Aperture.ini file from Portal 2 and paste it into Portal Stories: Mel and overwrite the one that comes with this mod.
