* Inside the '''pak01_dir.vpk''' file of the Sixense MotionPack, there is an unused VGUI menu for doing Challenge Mode with both the singleplayer and multiplayer Sixense maps. This was not integrated for reasons unknown, and parts of the menu are broken to a hardcoded extent. If you were to manually load a Sixense Challenge Mode game, the session will disconnect you since Steam does not recognize the map on its official leaderboards. | * Inside the '''pak01_dir.vpk''' file of the Sixense MotionPack, there is an unused VGUI menu for doing Challenge Mode with both the singleplayer and multiplayer Sixense maps.

Two solutions to this problem include unsubscribing to all custom workshop maps in Portal 2, thus giving you access to the Quick Play option, or by running the game without the DLC. Alternatively, you can patch '''client_sixense.dll''''s byte sequences of (8B C8 E8 E7 2C 0B 00 8B 4D FC 85 C9 '''74''') with (8B C8 E8 E7 2C 0B 00 8B 4D FC 85 C9 '''EB''') on the most recent build of the MotionPack to patch the loading of workshop thumbnails. | ||

The best solution for this is to stuff the contents of '''sixense_sounds.txt''' into an existing file declared in '''game_sounds_manifest.txt''', ensuring that the Sixense sounds are parsed alongside the main game's content. | ||
