They should fix this, or they are going to have some serious headaches with the Linux port.
Valve releasing on time?
Is there a rupture in the space-time-continuum? I'm scared!
No rupture, it was first announced for an April launch. Looks like you missed a couple of episodes ^^
How do you guys manage to download Portal? I click on the link in the store, steam starts to load it, but then it redirects to the same beta-store page...

I think it is in order to ask why that person is using Mac OS Extended Case Sensitive...
It's a 20" iMac Core Duo with a delicious PVA display. The Mobility X1600 was good enough for CS: S back when it was my main Mac.
I have Portal downloading right now.

Anyways.. they're going to work out the kinks.
When I start Steam the app just freezes nearly immediately and I have to force quit, never even see the interface.
Wondering if my Intel Mac is too old (2.33 GHz Intel core Duo, with 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 Ram, and a dinosaur of a video card, Nvidia 7600 GT)
UPDATE: Well, Steam client did an update, but then froze up again. Odd that some people with brand new machines are having the same problem while most people aren't having any trouble loading steam.

Portal doesnt work for people who weren't actually in the beta.. You've been able to get the client from bittorrent sites for a couple of weeks and this has always been the case. Friends who have bought Portal previously and just get "game not available" even when they've used the bypass code thingy. So everyone's still waiting.
This is exactly what happens to me. I'm on a brand-new 27" iMac. It instantly locks up and I need to force quit. I don't even see the interface either.
I'm curious I have a steam account on PC, could I get the mac version of games for free? (I wouldn't expect so but would be cool).
Like I have the half life games, but importantly portal, which already has a mac version so could I play the mac one for free?

Relax, everything's just fine. It was supposed to be released way back in April, but it was pushed back to May. Now that the client has been released, the service isn't up and running just yet (as of this writing). Sounds like Valve time is running just fine.
