Steambuild 64bit/D3D11 port in Porting Kit

On April 12, 2021   /   Game Port, Portingkit, Steam Games   /   3 Comments

Today we added the Steambuild 64bit/D3D11 port into Porting Kit. The port contains the basic build 64bit build with D3D11, including VCRuntime 2017 support. You can use this port to try all you 64bit DirectX 11 games in it. Quite a bunch should work in it now, but no guarantees of course, and AMD Radeon should probably better be supported then Nvidia and Intel Iris/Intel HD cards. Let us know if you have a game fully working in it so we can add it into the Porting Kit Database :) When you want cheap steam keys, then go to Kinguin to get some 64bit DirectX11 games. Happy gaming!

Remember we don’t support all games, but only the games in the Porting Kit database. When the forum is back up very soon, you may post your help request there for the community.

Released not long ago and now added to Porting Kit: Unto the End for Mac! I tested the game with the keyboard controls and that’s working fine. The game is really a “figuring out” style, I got stuck not far into the game, but figured out I had to hit some bones to go underground eventually and then finding someone with a key which you can use to open up a door at the other end of the cave. Well, if you like puzzles, action, platform and adventure, then this game might be something for you :) Game Works great on Intel based Macs, on M1 Silicon it give some glitches but still playable (hope this will be soon fixed in newer engine).
