Strangely enough, I can run portal 2 from command line without having steam running... Doesn't help the crash, but it's just strange AFAIK all games acquired through steam require steam running...
How exactly do you run it (provide the full command, please)? Did you apply any "patches"? Did you checked the game files integrity before run? Did you install it on windows or using wine only? Any winetricks or pure prefix?
using pure wine, no patches, only dll overwrite is MFC42, which is for another game. command: wine portal2.exe -window
Game was installed in wine, using steam, no crack used. The game still crashes, as I said, but it is easier to debug since you don't need to start steam first.
