[PATCH NOTES] First patch for Portal 2 PC released, featuring joystick support, blackscreen fix, infinite loop fix, GC memory leak fix, fixed interface glitch, various multiple crash fixes

First patch for Portal 2 released!

Valve has quickly released the very first patch for Portal 2 on the PC. Notable bug fixes listed in the patch notes are meant to address the error alert “unrecoverable black screen in elevator save” and also fixed the “GC memory leak” issues. They also included “support for English subtitles in Turkish builds” to improve localization of content. This patch may address some of the issues that were perhaps not addressed in this comprehensive hotfix list I made.

Here are complete patch notes for this first release:

Fixed unrecoverable black screen in elevator save
Fixed infinite loop on Mac OSX server
Fixed Mac OSX font rendering and glyph corruption
Fixed GC memory leak
Various localization content improvements
Support for English subtitles in Turkish builds
Minor string/interface glitches
Fixes for multiple crashes
Improved detection and handling for various errors and/or crashes
Activated UI to enable joystick in-game
