Site bookmarked. Hopefully this thing will grow and become a great resource.
How can it be a console game at heart? Don't say "Uh, because controllers derp" because you can easily use a controller on a PC. There is nothing you can do on a console that can't be done on a PC.
Oh idk, maybe because it is a good game and we already have a system on which to play on? Also, would you like to know how every single console game is made? On a frickin computer to begin with, so calm down.
Are you implying Skyrim was designed to be a PC game to be ported to consoles and not the other way around?
Thanks for laughs!
Install "Enhanced steam" plugin. Includes direct links to games PCGW article when needed and adds shit ton of other useful features.
No, he was implying that Skyrim is comparable to Dark Souls (it isn't) thus stating that Skyrim is better then Dark Souls (which is, again, stupid to compare).
It's more like this: the frustration of the PC gamer transcends space, time and the laws of physics. Enjoy the wiki!
thank you for making this website
cool
awesome…..enough said
yes, because theres no sound in the space .-.
Pretty awesome website saved me tons of headache and has secret tweaks.
Most people think PC = Windows, unfortunately.
…Or, you could just buy a console
Get Windows instead of Emulating it.
Dual boot exists for a reason.
The good news there is that with eighth generation (Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U) console hardware and PC hardware being so much more similar than they ever have been before, the compatibility issues and poorly optimised ports will become less and less in number.
NVM, Fixed it….
Now I wait and hope someone puts a fix for my Starcraft 2 issue.
You don't get the point, some of us want to stick with just one OS and hate Windows.
Or we could just not. The Xbox One and PS4 have been predicted to be the last of the greater console generations, due to Nvidia already making a tablet that can play high-end games, mobile gaming able to emulate older platforms, and Free to Play games gaining popularity on PCs.
People are tired of paying monthly, just to use the box and internet they already paid for.
Sounds great. Ok i'm playing through Crysis 2 ATM and I have a bug that prevents me from playing in fullscreen without getting a black not supported error page.
Now to see if that has a fix.
Then stop emulating it if you hate it.
Many people, it's the lastest and greatest MS OS.
You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you.
Emulation is not the same as using a piece of software that permits usage of a different file format. From Free Dictionary: "To imitate the function of (another system), as by modifications to hardware or software."
I've been using PCGamingWiki for quite some time now, about a year and a half.
I must say that it makes my life as a PC gamer much more convienient.
It helped me numerous times with common problems (for example changing field of view) and many times with more advanced ones. Gathering known fixes on one page in this comprehensive matter is a great thing, and I'm thankful for all the work that was put into this.
Nowadays, I also tend to refer to this wiki for port information before a purchase 🙂
Also, I want to ask:
Where can i suggest possible site features?
What would I suggest? A information about game multi-core support. Even when newer games more and more often tend to have a multi-core CPU support, a lot of games that should have this support, just doesn't have it, resulting in subpar performance on those multi-core CPU.
This would make life of gamers that did equip themselves with 6 or 8 cores much more convenient, since now, having this optimization is still kind of a lottery.
Hey, in our community section of the website there is a forum available running on IPB. There is a development sub-forum where you can suggest new site features.
Oh, so you are going to give me definition of emulation and call me stupid?
I sense irony.
More like you sense someone trying to relieve you of your own ignorance.
Accept it, it's better for you.
Just like Vista, its a downgrade.
Wine lacks class.
Considering that staitstically 97% of PCs run Windows, they are correct.
accept that imitation is part of emulation? ok.
Don't think so.
I really love PCGamingWiki. I always go to the site before I buy a game just to see how the port is and also get ways to enhance some games.
0:38 I hate that shit. "HOW DID YOU FIX IT YOU KNOBHEAD!?"
Just saw this as an ad on an Extra Credits video. Already knew about PCGW, but that was a really cool ad.
Only problem really is that it is long.
I'm so glad you guys exist. Thanks to PCGW I've managed to fix GTA 4, Fallout 3, and SimCity 4. (Enjoy the free advertisement X3)
Awesome video & site <3
i love you guys.
I'm so gonna use this site…
PC is awesome 😀
O wow i just found out about this THANK YOU SO MUCH
Our fantastic promotional animation released a few months ago! Really great job done by everyone involved!
This website is a godsend, it's soooo useful to fix those petty bugs devs leave in their games.
I do believe the only way to get all PC games to stop crashing is to take a crap in the CD tray and push it closed.
Lol, Everyone knows that a Wiki is not a reliable source. Classic case of argumentum ab auctoritate. A site doesn't provide factual information just because it says so. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

I don't understand why you guys don't just buy a console. They are much easier to maintain and plus it has a more diverse gaming base. And if it ever goes bad you can just recover your profile when you buy a new one! Or you can call customer service. They'll fix your console and return it to you in a timely manner. I know all this because when I'm not online gaming I spend my time on 4chan discussing only the most up to date topics concerning gaming. You can call us gaming experts if you will.
I have had the exact thing happen to me from reading so many forums LOL it's hilarious how many people go "nvm I fixed it" not realizing most likely people will search for that very thread trying to figure out the same problem
I hate it when there's a LONG thread on how to fix/solve anything and either the poster says "I'll update everyone when i fix it." or "I fixed/solved it."
But there is NEVER an update and the thread is locked.
my pc is perrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect. worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrks witouth a singel prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroblem.
Alright. When I was a kid I used to play Star Wars Episode I: Racer all the time, and that game was awesome, but I have never been able to get it to work on my PC. It's a challenge; can you get that game to work on Windows?
Average Redditor Here.
See, people would not have this problem if they just switched over to console, preferably the Wii U. Console gaming is the way the original gamers meant for us to play. PC Games are just for modding, and may I mention to get 60 fps and 1080p, you must spend 1000 U.S dollars worth?

Half Life 3 won't start. Solution plz?
So far I havnt ran into any problems with any games on my PC and if I have ive managed to fix it myself but its good to know that this is around
Just checked it on a game I am currently playing. Amazing job guys, will definitely visit often!
Who else read the blue screen? XD
This helped me find the fix for the classic Unreal. I'm keeping it bookmarked.
PLEASE HELP! if i start a game up it will show the menu propperly but when i click play i can see the game but its really light screen. Like if the light effects 90% and the rest 10%. What can i do about it?
this website helped me fix the issue I have with Hyperdimention Neptunia Re;Birth1 Now if it only it can fix the slowdowns for BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend.
It's actually quite helpful
I wanted to play Dead Reefs with PC that has Windows 7 and some strange motherboard-built in graphics card. I had to download winzip and then I could open a file, some kind of a patch that I downloaded from this PCGamingWiki site. Finally I can launch Dead Reefs! Well I did that once before but every other time it had problems. At first I thought that this site is full of viruses but I guess not.. 😀 It was useful. Thanks!
that's why consoles are better no problems …
kappa
you only have to do this with shitty games like Fallout games and Dark Souls 1 I tell you I fucking gave up on getting Fallout 3 to work on PC Bethesda basically robbed us all at gun point and they will have the audacity to release Fallout 4 on PC and I bet it will be plagued with issues aswell. How about Devs stop releasing poor shitty PC ports for once.
Went to your site but couldn't find a fix for Street Fighter X Tekken. I start up the game but I get a error or a black screen and only hear the game. Please help
Helps finding fix for old games.
any other site that solve lag graphical or glitch etc problems like this one ?… srsly underrated
This site sucks big ones. It does not help fuck all just gives you the info on the games I do NOT recommend this shit to anyone.
#pcmasterracistswateringhole
And still no fix for Need For Speed Underground 2. kek
Love PCGW. Thank you guys for an awesome site.
You don't have enough Ram
thanks for this site. A helped me several times.
Those 37 dislikes probably play on consoles
Thank god this website exists. I couldn't run gta 1 on win 10 otherwise.
Great video. Too true.
This site is absolutely ESSENTIAL if you are a PC gamer! Got many old games to work on Win10 thanks to it!
Epic.
Awesome site. Very useful.
LOL! That is EXACTLY what happens every time I try and play an older PC game! Just stumbled on your web site and it sounds like it is going to be a god send! Sometimes I have managed to get a game running and had no where to share the tips so I am really happy I might be able to help other people too. Thanks for creating the site.
