Hi, anyone else been having this problem? I tried running AC2 on Porting kit, but after logging into ubisoft connect, I always get this error screen. Solution?

Hi! I need help

I really want to play this game on my MacOS

But whats happening is, when I try to download the game by:
- Clicking Play on the steam build
- Rockstar Game Launcher pops up
- Ask to Install
- Accept

- Get's stuck at "Preparing to Install"

Whenever we cancel it and try to verify game files via steambuild 32/64 BIT DXVK it breaks with an error that said "Rockstar Game Launcher Failed to Initialize.

If there is a fix that would be a great help!

I am currently running:
MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1
Apple Silicon M1 Chip
16GB Memory

Hi guys. Im having trouble play fullscreen when I connect my Mac to my TV. Either it doesnt fit the screen or the display isnt centered. Is there a work around?

I originally played (and loved!) these games on my Amiga 500 back in the 90s. In 2004, to commemorate the 20th anniversary, they were re-released for PC and I replayed them at that time, and loved them just as much!

The bug has got me again now and I'm trying to get them to run on my Mac via Porting Kit. I have got the first one working to the point where it loads, there is sound, I can move the character around, interact with objects etc etc... BUT, the graphics for the buttons are not showing. They are there in the game data folder, but where they should be in the interface is just a black space.

Screenshot attached.

Any idea what could cause this, and what settings could fix it? As the games are from 2004 I selected Windows XP as the OS to emulate. Porting Kit only seems to give options for Wine Skin 11x and 12x – not sure if I need an older version...

Any help appreciated!

Is there any way to make suggestions for future ports? I'd love to play MegaRace, and it is already on GOG.

See screenshot. I installed the port to get Rayman Legends. It did it's thing and completed successfully.
I got click Play and then it asks to log into Ubisoft Connect. I put my credential in and then this pops up.

This happened after I updated to PortingKit 6.7.2. Using a 2015 MacBook Pro.

Hi, i had to reinstall my Porting Kit today. Before that everything worked fine, i had installed a few games and all of them ran.

Now after reinstalling i first had the issue that i could not install the steam port, it stopped at the wine prefix creation. Looking for a solution i found a post suggesting a restart. After the restart it shows nothing but the Create Custom Port Icon in all of the menus. I reinstalled Porting Kit twice, restarted the Mac again but still the same issue....

Once i was able to see all "games" and was able to install steam, but it didn't run and the next time i restarted Porting Kit it was custom port only again...

I also updated the Mac to Tahoe now, but nothing has changed. I'm running it on a Macbook M4 Pro, if this has any relevance...

Anybody with an idea on what could be wrong?

EDIT: I somehow got it to work, but whenever i try to install a Steambuild (i tried different ones) i get a "Invalid WSI file for Steambuild XYZ" error...

EDIT#2: No it's back to only showing the Custom Port button. Is there nobody experiencing any issues with 7.0.2?

I followed a tutorial to download Skyrim SE on mac to hopefully be able to use some mods. When clicking “play” in porting kit it opened (what i assume to be the windows version) steam and i was able to launch Skyrim and actually got through that damned opening carriage ride before deciding to go to bed. I’ve been trying to play again but it keeps popping up with “warning, wine processes running”. clicking yes to terminate said processes does nothing and i’ve tried manually terminating via the tools bar and in activity monitor/terminal. (it said no processes found in terminal). I’m not really that great with stuff like this so i have absolutely no idea how to fix it or even delete everything to maybe try porting Skyrim again. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to play on M1 Macbook Pro 16GB. I downloaded the offline files from GOG, installed via the Porting Kit Wizard. Installation said it was successful but when I try to play the game I get stuck on a black screen and get this error message. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks!

when scrolling in my summer car camera goes up no matter if you are trolling up or down it goes up

Im trying to instal Steambuild Direct 3D and I get this error message. I don't understand what it means and it doesont match any of the problems in the FAQ so any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I tried playing a game called silver pines through portingKit, and everything was working kinda fine. However the game really requires using the cursor to explore, and even tho the cursor moves, it doesn’t interact with anything inside the game.

Could this be a problem with portingKit?

Im on MacBook Air M2, Sequoia 15.7.5 and im using the 32/64 DXVK port

Regarding the continued need for a port despite the new mac version of the game, and the fact that the game is currently broken 😭

i need to request a port for a game and his website said that's where i can do that....

In case anyone is not aware, the new mac version of AoE2 is not compatible with the main game, meaning you can't play online with your friends, vs pc or console users etc. You are effectively in a very small bubble of other mac users - no bueno!

That's why so many of us are still using portingkit.

Paul, please don't drop support!

I followed all the steps and yet nothing i’ve done seems to have actually installed anything or made me able to play the games i paid for

Can I put a direct shortcut to a game in my Mac OS Dock? So I can launch it without having to open Porting Kit first

Thank you

First of all, I'd like to say that I 100% appreciate Porting Kit! Huge congratulations to the developer(s). I really don't mean to offend, or sound like I'm complaining.

I've been trying to play the original Dawn Of War games via Steam in on my MacBook Air M1, but honestly, they're sort of slideshows and I can't figure out how to improve it.

My confusion is that the listings in Porting Kit kind of imply they've been tested on my Mac model. Take Soulstorm, for example: https://www.portingkit.com/game/929 which reads "Works on M1 Apple Silicon Macbook Air." I mean, technically, it 'works' as in it launches, but it's not remotely playable.

What's bugging me is the idea I'm doing something wrong!

hello!

i've been using porting kit for a while now, i've used it to play several of my steam windows only games while on my macOS like Ark survival evolved and In Stars and Time, but when i went to play The Isle, it would not let me play the proper game version. The newest game version is the The Isle: Evrima, but when i go to play it, it loads and then gives me a launch error, saying it failed to load the anti-cheat module.

I've tried everything i can think of, verifying game files, deleting and reinstalling, attempting to download EasyAntiCheat manually, downloading VRchat (which also has EasyAntiCheat), trying a whole bunch of commands in the local terminal thing with the help of (unfortunately) AI, everything i can think of.

The legacy version of the game works fine, it's just the evrima version. its games that use EasyAntiCheat that i'm having problems with.

if you have any possible solutions please shoot them my way! i'm on a apple M2 16GB Tahoe version 26.3.1 MacOS if that helps ^^
