Full disclosure: I am the admin of the site PCGamingWiki, just looking for keen people interested in contributing!

Ever had a problem getting a PC game to work?

At PCGamingWiki, our aim is to collect fixes for every single PC game into one user-editable resource.

Featured by: Kotaku, Destructoid, TotalBisctuit, Rock Paper Shotgun..

We are interested in:

performance issues and improvements
bugs, fixes and workarounds
configurations, optimisations and hacks
FOV and mouse acceleration fixes
which is the best available version
what restrictions and DRM does it have
save game and user data locations
mods, utilities and community patches

Here are some examples of recent articles:

If you've ever fixed a game, or just know a tweak or piece of info that would be helpful to others, please contribute!

Thanks for all the support guys! It's a gigantic project and I hope that some OCUK forumites will help to contribute some articles and fixes

Good idea. The only one I can think of that comes up now and again is Dead Space (1). It runs terrible with in-game vsync on. Caps at 30fps and mouse lag. Disable it and turn it on for that game in the nvidia/AMD drivers and it runs perfect.

Thanks, we have this one up already:
http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Dead_Space#Mouse_Lag_and_Random_Sensitivity - although it could do with a bit of tidying up.

Looks great, I shall certainly try and contribute if I can.

What will be the game with the biggest page then? (I'm saying FO3)

I think FO3 deserves the biggest page

. However, it hasn't been worked on as extensively as other pages....

MediaWiki doesn't seem to have a function for listing longest pages (although we have a 'most revisions' stats page) I think these are our biggest pages:
