It can run easily since it released on 2007 when xp was still super popular. You just need to install pirated one instead of steam version so you won't get crashed like that.

[@Monkeyl638YT]

I tried that first but that error happened so I used my version on steam and that seemed to run?

[@hid6347]

actually, i managed to run portal 2 on my grandpa's pc (windows xp), since portal 2 releases even later so you can try find the first release version of portal 1

[@Sandbowl]

this is how i first played, it was released for that kind of operating system. a real challenge would be windows 2000 or older.

[@Monkeyl638YT]

I originally tried to run it on 2000 but I couldn't

[@minebloxw018j]

good

[@8-bitcentral31]

Portal runs without steam (even on a PC which has never had steam installed) on win10 if you just move 'gamedata.txt' to the hl2 folder but when I moved the game to my pentium 4 XP machine it doesn't throw any errors but doesn't launch either, despite having directx 9 (5600XT), 1.5GB RAM, C++ 2010 etc. This should be all the game needs to run. I know that you were unsucessful in your quest but you did at least get the game to open can you help in anyway with any dependances that portal needs?

i mean, it dosent crash when it runs a map for sure, it ran the background just fine, did you try any other maps, or loading into maps with the console

[@theny54guy]

cool, now do it on real hardware

[@Monkeyl638YT]

i did as you seen but it failed on real hardware

[@ausnorman8050]

2007 Portal was released, Windows XP had support till April 2014...I tried title suggest you can't but was a 7yr overlap...

[@POYS460]

[@randomgamingin144p]

[@Monkeyl638YT]

[@DarioDAdderio]

[@Monkeyl638YT]
