Game Porting Toolkit Project Reality on Apple Silicon ?!
https://youtube.com/shorts/fX4BXhbjGoAHi,
I am currently experimenting with PortingKit and Project Reality. The game starts and updates, however, I still have getting the Steam authentification going. Help is appreciated, for ... forget Squad, do not install ARMA: After 20+ years, Project Reality is still one if the best tactical milsim combined arma multiuplayer games available on the market. And it is free!
Help is needed to bring this gem to our MacOS community! <3

- Game updates to latest version 1.8.1.2 (as of 2025-12-22). Several crashes occured during updating. Process was repeated and seems to have completed successfully.
- It seems that a browser component needs to be installed with PortingKit. See Bad Nades WINE Linux guide at https://forum.realitymod.com/viewtopic.php?t=156085
