Do you mean "config.cfg" because that is the closest thing I could find. Even adding the command in that file, the game restores it to the previous state. Or do I have to create "autoexec.cfg" somewhere? What am I doing wrong?

1. Go to your Portal2/portal2/cfg folder
2. Create an autoexec.cfg (plain) text file if there isn't any
3. Add r_WaterDrawReflection 0 in

Don't you mean:

1. Go to "[Steam Installation Folder]steamappscommonportal 2portal2cfg".
2. Create "autoexec.cfg" from a new plain text file.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

(Step 3 can be any console command)

Anyways, that did work. Problem solved!

Just a quick question. What does r_WaterDrawRefraction mean? I know what refraction means but I didn't see any visual difference with it being 0 instead of 1...

It means that water will refract what's underneath it. The fog effect is poweful enough that Portal's toxic goo would have to be VERY thin to see anything through it, so the effect is mostly wasted.

OK, since it is a waste really, it will further increase performance if I set that to 0 as well. <-- Doing that screws up the water found in the area after Wheatley smashes you through the pit to fall thousands of feet below the ground.

Thanks for all your help.
