Update: And totally fixed now in Porting Kit 4 :) The fix will be implemented on Porting Kit 3 as well in a new update. IF you are on Mac OS Mojave/Catalina/Big Sur and you still have Porting Kit 3, we encourage you to go to Porting Kit 4 beta as soon as possible. Download it from the porting Kit website here…
Update: Seems it’s not completely fixed yet. seems there are multiple directx9 versions which are used in winetricks. We are adding these in the backup server, so we expect a full fix later today.
Update: Fallback is in place!! It took a day longer then we wanted, but finally the issue in Winetricks has been addressed and we created a fallback that, if something like this happens again we aren’t dependent on a third party. The backup option required an update of PK4 and has been pushed a few hours back.
So if you read this, and didn’t saw an update yet. Restart Porting Kit and go to library tab for the update.Then!! Install the ports again which you want.
==============
A quick heads up. We are working on an Winetrick issue (directx) at the moment. Some winetricks require directx and somehow that doesn’t download which ends in the failure of a Winetrick. Tricks like:
Directplay
Directmusic
dsound
d3dx9
etc.
This ends an installation of a port prematurely. We are aware of the issue and working on the problem. So if you run into port installation failures, then don’t panic, we are working on the issue, keep a close eye on the blog when it should be fixed and then when green light retry the installation of the port. The issue counts only for the people who never did a directx9 trick in the past. IF you did with another game you are safe because every Winetrick gets cached.
We hope to have this fixed today.
