New updated Porting Kit version resolves Steam problems!
Yes! One of the last strongholds has been overcome. In this new Porting Kit release 5.13.8 the existing steam issues: Blank/black screen, Steam crash, notifications about main exe files and more should be resolved!! It were busy weeks, but we finally fixed the biggest issues (which seems to be happing already for quite a while). I am still updating some of the Steam ports this weekend. Then al Steam ports are back up-to-date and future ready!
The Steam port updates should fix the issues and even improve the game performance. Nevertheless there always might be a couple of Steam ports which could have a regression. When you run into one, let me know using the contact or report a problem form so I can take a look.
Changes in the new Porting Kit 5.13.8 (18/05/2023):
- Fixing startup window bug
- Minor refactor
- Changing the way a Wineskin port is opened by PK
- Fixing operating system selector
- If other Wineskin processes are running while you try to run a Wineskin app, PK should show in the warning which Wineskin apps are running
- Wine prefix creation step shouldn’t finish until every Wine process has terminated
- %ProgramFiles% should be correctly replaced, even if the Program Files folder is not the one that was expected
- Play button should work in case sensitive systems
- Errors when starting the startup window should show an error
- Main menu shouldn’t cause crash in case main window is not loaded yet
- Now it’s possible to select the operating system during an advanced installation
- inno-extract should be launched from the system, if available
- Porting Kit shouldn’t close automatically if your macOS version is considered incompatible
- Adding Preferences tab to change the Applications folder location

I am able to play C&C 3 perfectly using the steam port on my m1 mac! And I can play The Convenience Store, so this is really awesome, opens up a lot of possibilities :)
After losing my FO4 port to 13.4 RC last week, just quickly tested the Steam build (64bit/D3d11) on 13.4 on M1 and that works again like a charm.
Cheers for the effort!
I downloaded the new version of Porting Kit 5.13.8, but I am still getting a “There is no windows program configured to open this type of file,” error message for C&C Red Alert. Also, during the install of C&C screen it prompts to close the Wineport due to it already running. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance and I appreciate the hardwork!
Hello, I’ve been enjoying lot of good games with Porting Kit and Age of Empires II, but since last update I am not able to play any longer. Once I login in the Steam Windows it closes. Then when I try to start again the game, it won’t ask me to login, the connecting to steam account box opens and again after 30-60 seconds it closes and nothing happens. I run a MacBook Air M1 with Ventura 13.3.1
Will Porting Kit still work after Steam ceases support for Windows 8 on 1 January 2024?
i continue getting an error message saying it fail to uncompress the file
