STUFF:
Since this game runs on an enhanced version of Portal 2 (P2:CE) some levels may not look or work correctly due to missing entities or values.
It is STRONGLY recommended to install Digital Additions here as the game may be severely dark and missing sunlight

Without it many more things may appear incorrect or broken.
Summary cuz why not
(put the Revolution folder into your portal 2 folder then Recompile the models using the portal 2 compiler and put them back into the revolution folder and then drag and drop the contents of the premade files)
STEP 1:
Drag and drop the "revolution" folder from your Portal Revolution install into your main Portal 2 folder.
(See Image 1 for reference.)
STEP 2:
go to the portal2 folder and then into bin copy the server, matchmaking and client.dll
then go to the revolution folder then into bin and replace the files with the new dll's
STEP 3:
Create a new folder anywhere and name it:
decompile and recompile
Inside that folder create these 3 folders:
STEP 4
Download these

STEP 8:
STEP 9:
STEP 10:

STEP 11:
STEP 12:
Its finally time to launch it!
Open portal 2 with the provided run-Revo-rtx
run-Revo-rtx.bat
==============================
HOW TO UNINSTALL
what I Do is go into the portal_dlc3 folder create a new folder called revo or whatever you want
and move "pak03_dir and pak04_dir.vpk" to the new folder and just dont run the "run-Revo-rtx.bat"
Or do you want to save space? just delete the "pak03_dir and pak04_dir.vpk" and remove the "Revolution folder" (if you do it this way and want to play again you need to redo the installation steps)
==============================
KNOWN ISSUES
Oh and more I Just forget them sometimes 🙂
==============================
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: All my models are gone?
A1: Move the "models" folder into "revolution".
A2: Make sure it was inside "portal2" when you started.
Q: Game stuck on 2 dots and crashes?
A1: Check that you recompiled the models correctly.
A2: Try using the Portal 2 model compiler
A3: Not working? try Load another map
Q: Audio sounds low quality or phone-like?
(honestly not sure why this happens but doing this fixed it)
A: Download the latest dxwrapper from:
https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper
Copy "dxwrapper.asi" and "dxwrapper.dll" into the "bin" folder (not the one with server.dll)
Then remove "winmm.dll" Then download version 2.1 of the compat mod and then go into the bin folder of that
Then copy and paste the dxwrapper.ini into your bin folder then open the replace the "./p2-rtx.dll" line with "plugins/p2-rtx.asi"
Then finally add everything from "run-Revo-rtx.bat" to Steam launch options and start the game via Steam
View the "troubleshoot image"
A2:If that doesn't work remove the dxwrapper.dll
A3:If that also doesn't work restore the dxwrapper.dll and remove the "dxwrapper.asi" file
Q: RTX not working/a error when launching the "run-Revo-rtx" file?
A: Make sure you copied the Premade Files to the Portal 2 root folder installed correctly.
==============================
Q & A
Q: Can I use this on custom Portal Revolution maps?
