She then awakens Chell for her mandatory testing of the Handheld Portal Device, which began the events of Portal.
GLaDOS was able to operate the company all while residing in her Central AI Chamber, despite lacking full control over the facility. He then left various warnings of GLaDOS through graffiti that could only be found behind several corrupted wall panels in Test Chambers, in hopes that Chell would later stumble upon them. Since GLaDOS initiated a lockdown, Rattmann was forced to live his whole life hiding between the backstages of Test Chambers in the Enrichment Center. He then took refuge in several departments throughout the facility and began tampering with the initial test subject roster, rearranging Chell to the top of the list as Test Subject #1 instead. Prior to the events of Portal, one of Aperture's technicians, Doug Rattmann, successfully evaded GLaDOS' attempts to flood the Enrichment Center with neurotoxin. She confronts GLaDOS in her chamber at the end of Portal, which allowed GLaDOS to develop an even deeper hatred for her after she was awakened in the beginning of Portal 2. Since the attack, she has managed the company to her limits. Her first test subject and the series' main protagonist, Chell, was given a warning of GLaDOS' true colors with the help of Rattmann. This ultimately led to the negligence of the outside world from realizing Aperture's fate, as all attention had been diverted to Black Mesa and the aforementioned invasion. The destruction of the company also coincided with an invasion of Earth, which had occurred two days after at Aperture's rival company, Black Mesa. However, only few if not only one of the staff such as Doug Rattmann had survived her attacks along with the series' main protagonist, Chell.
Since she was able to take control of half of the facility's features, GLaDOS began killing most of its inhabitants by flooding the Enrichment Center with neurotoxin. After it became apparent to Johnson that he may die of moon rock poisoning before development on GLaDOS would be completed, Johnson motioned for the scientists to insert Caroline instead.Īfter a decade's worth of hard work, GLaDOS was officially activated in 1998, as part of one of the many events during the company's "Bring Your Daughter to Work" day.
The project began under the oversight of Cave Johnson over the company, and was an attempt to create a fully functional, advanced artificial intelligence which was originally intended to be occupied by Johnson as one of his attempts to cheat death.
Is there a regression in the current Mesa version?Īs can be seen in this video, Portal 2 has no issues reaching above 200fps with the Nvidia driver on this same setup (so would that rule out it being an issue with Ubuntu?).Īny and all help is greatly appreciated.GLaDOS was a creation of Aperture Science, a personality core designed exactly to be fitted as a central computer mainframe. Could the Intel Installer be conflicting with the Oibaf PPA?Īs can be seen in my older video, after using Oibaf's PPA Dota 2 was completely playable. P.S: I've also made sure to remove the Nvidia driver completely, so there shouldn't be any conflicts. GPU - Nvidia GTX 680 (but I've changed the output to iGPU via BIOS for benchmarking) I've also tried disabling the overlay to see if that's the issue, it's not. I've tried the Intel Installer, and I'm now using Oibaf's PPA to bring mesa up to 10.2, but still the fps refuses to change.
Is anyone else experiencing abysmal fps with Portal 2's Linux beta and the Intel open source driver?
