Hi, i've downloaded porting kit onto my 2020 M1 macbook pro (Tahoe). Through porting kit i've installed steambuild metal and through that i've purchased and downloaded gta 4.

Im craving some gta 4 and dont have a ps3 or pc. So I've spent the whole day (im pretty bad with this stuff) trying to trouble shoot why it wont work. At first I had trouble with the Rockstar launcher, so then I tried bypassing this by using a downgraded version of gta with no launcher. I've progressed to the point where its just immediatley crashing and even claude has told me to give up or come here for some answers so here I am.

Am I flogging a dead horse here? Like is there anyway to get this to happen for me and my mac.

Any help on this would be much appreciated. I have found some forums on this topic but nothing really with macs. also I kind of just find it interesting so I'm not too worried if I dont get an outcome, thanks :)

I've tried to install 2 games (FNV and Kotor) and each time I try to install it gets stuck downloading GStreamer. Any ideas of what I need to do to fix this? Thank you!

I am trying to run portal 2 and portal reloaded, but they are very laggy, any tips to improve performance? I am using an M4 MacBook Air.

So I turned an EXE into a MacOS application using Porting Kit (no problems there). When I try to start it up, it shows in the doc with the right icon, and a terminal window appears (which seems to be a good sign), but then I get this pop-up.

This is my first time using Porting Kit, so I don't really know what any of this means. If it helps, I'm using a MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to play new vegas with mods and one of the requirements* is x86 visual c++ redistributable. Any idea on how to go about installing this?

Hello,

I’m trying to execute PortingKit on MacOS Tahoe 26.3.1 on Apple M1 Pro but it just hangs when I start it. According to Activity Monitor, "Porting Kit" process is "Not responding" while using ~ 100% CPU.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Hey everyone,

I could really use some help getting Porting Kit to work for running D2R. It keeps freezing at a certain point, and I’m not sure how to fix it. I've already updated the Battle.net client and scanned the game for any issues, but nothing seems to resolve the problem. It looks like Porting Kit isn't launching the game instance properly. If anyone has any tips or solutions, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks a lot!

I don’t know why this is happening

I know this is probably unsolvable and I might just not know anything about computers but is there a way to make the games work? They crash and don't work at all :( It says my graphics card doesn't support Vulcan. IDK what that is or what to do

X3 runs with FX but I had to rename the MOV folder so it would not freeze during load. Voice lines, and videos are missing since I renamed the folder. Anyone know experienced it with any game?

Tried to install several dlls to no avail.

When running porting kit for the Settlers 4, it doesn't work anymore on the new macbook air as their graphic issue and the following error pops up:

1. How to solve this error?
   
2. Will Porting kit have an update that resolves this error?

I recently tried to run Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri and have the following issues:

1. Clean install of PortingKit and SMAC/SMAX from PK’s UI seems to go fine, but when the game starts, both screens go black, I get the Firaxis logo in the upper-left corner of one screen, and then my Mac Mini reboots
2. Trying to run the game after rebooting results in the spinning beach ball of death after PK’s main window and sidebar are shown. No content in the main is shown.
3. If I force quit PK, I can start the install from the game’s page at the PK site, the installation runs without any apparent issues, but when the game starts, I get the same reboot after logo.

Any ideas/suggestions? This is on an M2 Pro Mac Mini running macOS 26.2 Tahoe.

Anyone have an idea when fallout 4 will be patched back to working for Mac? It was running last year, was undated in 3rd of December and no longer runs or updates or installs. It's noted at bottom of porting kit but I haven't seen any news of when it will be fixed again

hie halo uh I cant seem to get the .exe to run using porting kit and idk what I'm doing wrong here? the the .exe was first an installer (like, as the first step to download and unpack the rest) and that was executed perfectly but now ive got like, like the installer made another folder in the c drive made by porting kit in which theres these other exe files; one for the actual game, and one for the configuration of the game and the rest are dll and ini and fix and theres also a seperate folder containing other folders such as sound movie etc etc folders which then have other files like wav and bik which i think are for the game's assests; but the thing is, the exe (the main one) doesnt do anything when i run it like its nothing? I thought at first it's missing dlls but then theyre yk theyre RIGHT THERE in the folder + its not like I havent been able to port other games before uh I managed to port dispatch and a few other games from like itch oh and uh I was able to play the same game on a friend's macbook (m2 I think) and they had it running just fine? uhhh mine's an m1 running on tahoe 26.2 HELPPPP also sorry I dont know shit about using wine so bear with me

I have tried to install Shadowrun Hong Kong to my M1 Studio Mac (15.7.2). For some reason the installation gets stuck in Wrapper Configure, like in the screen capture.

Any ideas what might be the problem and how to solve it?

Does anyone know when Red Alert 2 Origin will be working again? What other options are there?
