There have been lots of game updates on GOG.com lately which in some cases also involves of updated installer files. This may cause some unexpected porting kit messages in the install process which you not may expect normally that it asks to choose your own setup file. So those changes are covered, but hinders the automatic process that Porting Kit automatically opens the setup file for you. So for some of those cases I made an update of these games so Porting Kit will automatically recognize the offline backup setup installer files again. Because of this, I could also look into the ports itself to see if newer engines improve the performances or bug fixes. Below the results.

• Commando’s Behind Enemy Lines (setup file recognition + Mac-driver handling + new Engine)
• Commando’s Beyond the Call of Duty (setup file recognition + Mac-driver handling + new Engine)
• Commandos 2 (setup file recognition + Mac-driver handling)
• BlitzKrieg + DLC (setup file recognition + Mac-driver handling + new Engine)
• Krush Kill ‘n Destroy 2 (setup file recognition + Mac-driver handling + new Engine + Screen-tearing free)
• Star Wars Battlefront 2 (setup file recognition + new Engine)

Enjoy the updates of the game! If you run into installation problems with any game, let us know using the contact form! Then we can fix it. We need you guys for this :) Thanks!

It’s bit busy lately, but there has been a few Wrapper updates done with some fixes and updates. Below the games:

• Locomotion (fix Mojave and improvements High Sierra and lower )
• Heroes 3 (installer changed of GOG, updated the port so it gets recognized properly)
• Heroes IV (installer changed of GOG, updated the port so it gets recognized properly)
• Heroes V (installer changed of GOG, updated the port so it gets recognized properly)
• Heroes V DLC (installer changed of GOG, updated the port so it gets recognized properly)
• Spintires (launch fix and improvements, also works now on my low-end Macbook air.)
• Spintires Mudrunner (launch fix and improvements, also works now on my low-end Macbook air.)

Check the games out  in Porting Kit when you had/have issues with the port. They should work now or have improvements implemented.

Things change all the time and we try to keep up with all the changes. Sometimes things change while we not know of it, and then your help and informing us is important. So that’s why I could fix a few things. For example I updated Port Royale 2 and Arcanum. below the changes:

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura:
There seems to be an massive update of Arcanum, so I updated the Wrapper and works great now :)

 Port Royal 2
The setup file of Port Royale 2 has been changed by GOG.com so it causes porting Kit to ask for a location of the exe file. I changed the setup file and now Porting Kit will detect the setup file automatically so the GOG.com offline backup installer will automatically start.

Check those updated games out in Porting Kit! Enjoy!

It’s very busy lately, But I manage some maintenance on a few ports after getting a few e-mails about them. As you know we always try our best in our spare-time to improve porting Kit and the ports of course, which is a continuous progress.

Starting with Zork Grand Inquisitor. That game seemed to be changed from DOS version to SCUMVM version in the GOG.com catalog. So this meaned for me to change the installer file and startup flags for the SCUMVM version. Working lovely now.

Then we have Giants – Citizen Kabuto, which had an issue because GOG change the setup file name, so I changed that for the game, this also counted for Mount and Blade – Fire and Sword. So fixed that issue as well.

Enjoy the games!
