Andytizer · 4 Jul 2012 at 10:14

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!

That is actually a pretty great idea for a site, I'm sure you'll find people round here with something worthwhile to add

Pretty cool, i stuck it in my bookmark folder.

PiKe · 4 Jul 2012 at 16:47

Great idea!

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.

Great idea, I have a smll audio fix for Mount and Blade Napoleonic Wars that I could add.

Sherbs · 4 Jul 2012 at 19:17

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.

Good idea!

Best of luck with it.

Thanks very much for the support from everyone here, it's really appreciated.

How do you make a new page for a game, or does the site admin create one and anonymous users can then edit it?

Jongo · 5 Jul 2012 at 15:28

This is actually a fantastic idea! A massive task ahead of you though!

pestt · 5 Jul 2012 at 15:31

Utterly, utterly brilliant.

Can you do another one on BMW E39 cooling systems too please..
:-)

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

)
