Hi,folks,I'm a new poster who'd be grateful of some help.
I recently won 'Portal'.When I won,the new 'Cake' menu screen appeared.Next
time I launched the game,the Cake screen is no longer visible,but I am stuck
with the old black and white one instead.I'm not a frequent or brilliant
gamer,so after all the trouble I took to win the game & get the nice
graphic,I'm bummed that it's vanished.
I never use cheats and won the game fair & square.I saved the game when I
exited. My Win still appears in my Steam 'Achievements' log.
Someone suggested I forward you guys the text in the Developer's
Console.Does this shed any light on the problem?

"Both ConVars must be marked FCVAR_REPLICATED for linkage to work

Please help me get my Cakescreen back.I paid for my game,I won it
fairly,it's not a lot to want!
Thanks in Advance.

The cake screen is not permanent once you beat portal; it will appear
intermittently if you play the game enough times. If you like that screen do
as I did and take a screenshot of it. I don't think there's a fix for that
issue in any event.

After you beat the game, the cake screen randomly appears every time
you start up Portal.
