Hey guys. Just started running Portal Inbound and watched some tutorial videos but i really dont understand saveglitches. I mean I think I do it exactly as shown in the videos but it doesnt work for me like intended.

The 02/03 doesnt work at all even if i place the portal on the right spot and save-load while going over it (they explain it this way)

The 04/05 glitch kind of works but i need to save-load twice to get through the door where other people seem to do it just ones.

Maybe you guys have some tips for me or text-instructions.

Love, Acoustic :^)

Edit: I use Source Unpack so it can't be because of not using it :)

You have to be a bit behind the edge of the Portal when you save load, so that you can't see it anymore, If you save load and you can still see the Portal it won't work. (same with being too far behind the Portal, but you have a decent leeway here)

Saveglitch is kinda finicky when you are just starting out. It's just a thing you gonna have to get a feel for.

This won't work:

This will:

What Dassioks said + are you using the Source Unpack ? Because the SG is harder on Steampipe

"Edit: I use Source Unpack so it can't be because of not using it"

OpieOP

I can't read England because I is no England

wow i turned of forum notification.. just read your answers 3 hours late ¤head on table¤

thanks for the advices guys. i will try it and train it .. WR inc Kappa

oh one more thing .. like i said i have to save-load twice at chamber 4 to get through the door but in videos all the runners seem to just do it ones. in XeiZ tutorial he said somethingabout first edge-glitch then saveglitch here...or did i missunderstand everything and he is just doing it ones, too .. #ConfusedNoob

You have to saveglitch once. If you need to do it twice, then you are doing it wrong. Practice.

Save glitch heavily depends on getting a good feel for it if you're trying to do it on the first try. Nobody does it perfectly after seeing the tutorial one time, trust me.It takes specific movements and timing, so once you get the rhythm down, you'll be set

I had to try for hours and hours before I could get it first try on a run. Its easy for me now, though. Just gotta have a feel for it.

Another thing to pay attention to is, those 2 screens that got linked only tell half the truth, if you just do what the second one looks like it wont work either.

You have to start out with how the first one looks and THEN move over to how the second one looks. If you go too far you messed it up, if you are too close to the portal you messed it up, if you are too far away you messed it up. Its all just a feeling thing like people mentioned.

I know you mentioned you are using unpack but make 100% sure you actually started the unpack and not steam version by accident. :^)

ye after the two screenshots from daccoix i get the save-glitch almost all the time now. but im horrible at strafing .. so shooting on the floor while jumping and strafing to the portal like you did in the tutorial XeiZ is pretty hard for me but i will practise it and hopefully be able to do it before i start hating myself and stop speedrunning. i know how much time you guys put in it and i really want to be a part of you runners :D

Well its the "easiest" version. I stopped doing it a long time ago because for me the abh version was way easier, not sure if i even showed that in the tutorial series because most people think its harder...

That timestamp shows how i used to do everything, requires middlefinger scrolling though.

(remove the - in https, had to do it or it would've embedded the video without timestamp) h-ttps://youtu.be/AEtDUME9NZ0?list=PLKN-0BTRxpIh8AFXH5LSKULo-Edcc2mme&t=161
