Introducing the PC Gaming Wiki 2.0

28 February 2012

We really love PC gaming, but sometimes it’s not easy. Sure PC gamers get better textures, higher resolutions, customizable controls, locally hosted servers, and so on, but we also get more variable performance, more bugs, invasive DRM and other problems inherent to the desktop platform.

That seems to be the reason for the creation of PC Gaming Wiki 2.0.

Essentially, it’s an encyclopaedia of PC games whose core function is to outline the most important tips, tweaks, mods, patches and configs to get every PC game running at its best. “Our goal is to provide fixes for every single PC game…,” reads the site’s official tagline.

It aims to be a one-stop resource for PC gamers when they experience an issue with a particular game. It’s arguably one of the most ambitious projects we’ve stumbled across, but it’s also one of the coolest.

“We’ve all spent hours trawling through forums, websites and support Q&A to get a PC game to work. Do you spend more time researching and setting up games than actually playing them? We present to you PCGamingWiki, with a page for every PC game, for optimisations, settings, common fixes and hacks. Let’s fix PC Gaming!” states the site’s main page.

Some of the featured content on the front page includes a guide to getting Alan Wake running smoothly on PC as well as fixing the Borderlands “borderless window” problem.

It’s a great project that we really hope will take off, so if you’re PC gamer you should probably bookmark it right now.
