Porting Kit updates past weeks!

On November 27, 2018   /   News, Portingkit   /   Leave a comment

The past 3 weeks development isn’t standing still. We work hard to keep games and the application up-to-date so you will have a better user game experience and to keep the games ported working when games on Mac OS are getting updated. We managed for the people who are already under the wipe of Mojave, to have a quite nice user experience (not perfected yet because of needs of some Wineskin changes) but we are getting further and further. So when you have Mojave accidently installed, then make sure you update to the latest Porting Kit version for the best performance.

Porting Kit 2.9.544 (17/11/2018):

  • Fixed: URL requests error codes now are detected properly
  • Improved: Google Analytics reports now have a timeout of 2 seconds instead of 10
  • Fixed: While creating custom ports, macOS versions compatible with Mac Driver should have it selected by default
  • Improved: Google Analytics reports in case of fail while connecting to the server
  • Fixed: Trailers now should always load properly
  • Added: recommendations for eGPUs
  • Improved: Google Analytics report of connection failure
  • Improved: PK is now prepared to deal with the fact that Mojave doesn’t work well with X11 ports

Update Porting Kit using the Porting Kit top Bar menu –> check for updates!

Call of Juarez GOG.com version added to Porting Kit!

Yes, I know, its awesome! Call of Juarez has been added to the GOG.com catalog! The game was already badly available, but now it’s added to the where it belongs: GOG.com and with a very nice low price of 7,50 and with the now 50% discount a must have item in your game collection! I ported the game in the past, so I added the GOG.com version last night straight away! Played it for a few chapters on my 2GB Videocard AMD Radeon iMac and works flawless. Unfortunatly It only runs on Nvidia and ATI/AMD Radeon gfx cards. So Intel Iris and Intel HD, cannot play it (graphical glitches) at the moment. So do you own a Nvidia or ATI/AMD Radeon equiped Mac, then this one you can’t miss! Also very fun in multiplayer using LAN or with special tools as Hamachi or the free zerotier. Grab it on GOG up here… and download the 2 “offline backup setup files” into your download folder and in Porting Kit click on the install button to get the installation rolling! Enjoy!

You don’t know this western game?
Reverend Ray is a violent and merciless killer. His quarry is the lone fugitive, Billy Candle, a savage accused of murder. With Bible in one hand and revolver in the other, the Reverend is unwavering in his hunt for brutal justice. Only wit and guile will keep young Billy ahead of the chase.  Intense, gritty and unforgiving, Call of Juarez paves a trail through bloodshed, leaving death and smoking guns in its wake.
