- 01:36, 8 June 2024 diff hist +56 Riptide GP2 →Save game cloud syncing: There is no Steam Cloud support. However, the game does have some kind of cloud save feature. Running the game on one machine after playing on another, I got an in-game prompt to decide which save I wanted to use: the one "saved to our web service" or the one "on your device". I assume this is the publisher's own web service, which means there's no place for it in PCGW's cloud save template, so I'm just adding a note. current

- 14:46, 1 June 2024 diff hist +100 Psychonauts →Steam Cloud not working (Linux): Add a step to ensure existence of folder that will contain link; put optional back-up step first in applicable fixbox current
- 19:35, 28 May 2024 diff hist +219 m Venetica →Talking to Leon at guild house crashes the game: Adding reference showing that the GOG version is also affected. (Both are the "Gold Edition" and this may mean that only "Gold Edition" is affected but I don't know for sure.) Also updating some wording. (I've found that the crash occurs even when ending the conversation right away, before Leon makes his offer.) current
- 03:49, 28 May 2024 diff hist +718 Venetica Documenting bug. While there is a workaround (simply avoiding the part that crashes), I wouldn't call it a "fix", hence inclusion under "Issues unresolved".
- 19:34, 26 May 2024 diff hist -5 m Enclave →Issues fixed: Less biased wording
- 19:01, 26 May 2024 diff hist -63 Enclave →Issues fixed: I first noticed the color depth issue with Proton 6.3, and added "or newer" when I saw it in Proton 7.0-1 as well, but it doesn't appear in Proton 7.0-6 (the only 7.0 version still available in Steam). Proton 8.0 and 9.0 don't seem to have this issue either. Should we just remove this now that people are unlikely to be using Proton 6.3 by default? I don't know. I won't care if it gets removed, but for now, I'm just updating it rather than deleting information.
- 00:53, 25 May 2024 diff hist +465 Max Payne →Reduced color depth (Proton/Linux): I added the section about color depth when Proton 6.3 was current. Proton 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0 don't seem to have this issue. Should we just remove this now that people are unlikely to be using Proton 6.3 by default? I don't know. I won't care if it gets removed, but for now, I'm just updating it rather than deleting information. I'm also adding another issue that occurs with Proton 7.0, but again it's not the latest version so maybe it doesn't matter.
- 22:49, 24 March 2024 diff hist +126 Centipede: Recharged →Input: Filled in some unknowns
- 22:24, 24 March 2024 diff hist +661 Centipede: Recharged Linux port's mouse control is weirdly broken. Added description of problem and the only fix I know: running the Windows version instead. I don't see any compatibility issues with Proton 8.0 (current latest non-beta/experimental version). The Linux port is fully playable with other control schemes (keyboard and gamepad), but listing "don't use the mouse" as a fix is probably not appropriate.

- 00:23, 10 March 2024 diff hist +644 User:Outoflives →Proposed best practices: Various edits
- 23:16, 9 March 2024 diff hist -5,312 User:Outoflives →Pseudo-templates: Remove bloat I don't use anymore. These should have been written better in the first place. Someone — I don't know who — rewrote the "Use Proton 5.13-6 or older" fix I'd added to the Max Payne page, changing it to a list format, which is better. I should do that next time I add such a fix. Incidentally, that one might be unnecessary as of Proton 8. Anyway, I forgot I had this stuff on my page and will forget again if I leave it here, so there's no reason to keep it.
- 22:19, 9 March 2024 diff hist 0 m Centipede: Recharged Use of "Unknown" as a release date causes PCGW to show a tooltip implying the game is incomplete, which was not the intent. (The Linux version of the game seems generally buggy but is "finished" as far as I know. This is not an early-access game.) Using lower-case "unknown" appears to prevent the tooltip from showing. This is a hack but I don't know what to write here because the Linux and OS X versions seem to have appeared at some point after release with no official announcement.

- 21:51, 9 March 2024 diff hist +577 Centipede: Recharged →API: Documenting an oddity. All of this probably applies to the macOS version as well, but I won't be installing macOS to verify it.

- 21:15, 9 March 2024 diff hist +79 m Centipede: Recharged Add Linux and OS X to infobox to make errors go away. I don't see any announcement of these ports' release dates but it looks like they were not available initially.
- 20:54, 9 March 2024 diff hist +19 Centipede: Recharged →Availability: Update operating system availability (source: already-linked Steam and Epic Games Store pages)
- 04:43, 9 March 2024 diff hist -4 m Psychonauts →Steam Cloud not working (Linux): Using the "file" template is probably more appropriate when referencing the paths of links that are to replace the folders that don't exist anymore.
- 04:26, 9 March 2024 diff hist -2 m Psychonauts →Steam Cloud not working (Linux): The trailing slash (`/`) that somehow got added to the last argument of each `ln` command is incorrect. If the folder `/foo/bar/x` is removed, then you can't do `ln -s /foo/bar/y /foo/bar/x/` because that means putting a link inside of the removed `/foo/bar/x` folder, whereas we want to put a link where the folder was.
- 04:31, 8 March 2024 diff hist -353 Psychonauts →Steam Cloud not working (Linux): Break paragraphs into ordered lists for readability, and remove most of code blocks (because frankly the symbolic linking is the only part which isn't self-explanatory and which might require a command line)
- 04:03, 8 March 2024 diff hist +164 Psychonauts →Steam Cloud not working (Linux): Clarify meaning of "reverse" now that this is its own fix
- 03:58, 8 March 2024 diff hist 0 m Psychonauts →Generic controller button icons (Linux): Fixed a formatting error
- 03:49, 8 March 2024 diff hist +3 Psychonauts →Generic controller button icons (Linux): Fixing the numbering that was added here so we don't have numbers for things that aren't distinct steps.
- 03:34, 8 March 2024 diff hist -17 m Psychonauts →Steam Cloud not working (Linux): HTML to equivalent wiki formatting
- 03:30, 8 March 2024 diff hist +140 Psychonauts →Steam Cloud not working (Linux): The numbering that was added here implies two steps for one fix, rather than two mutually exclusive options. I'm splitting this into two separate fixes just to clarify that this is absolutely not a two-step process.

- 03:24, 5 March 2024 diff hist +3 m Psychonauts →Save game cloud syncing: Changed icon
- 03:23, 5 March 2024 diff hist +1,988 Psychonauts Added notes on Steam Cloud for native Linux version. As far as I can tell, saves between the Windows and Linux versions are compatible. Setting XDG_DATA_HOME to the game's parent directory got the game to load a save I'm quite sure I started on Windows. Setting links got it to upload the saves I made on Linux. I would mention Proton as a fix for using Steam Cloud on Linux, but I don't know how well Proton actually runs this game nor whether any additional tweaks are required for that.

- 03:00, 19 February 2024 diff hist -8 m Alwa's Awakening →Game data: Game does appear to use ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} if defined. Not changing {{XDG|unknown}} to {{XDG|true}} because it's unclear to me whether this is really following XDG Base Directory Specification with regard to save files. Should it use ${XDG_DATA_HOME} for those? Maybe that's subjective.

- 23:21, 6 February 2024 diff hist +220 Downwell →Video: Windowed mode scaling does not stop at 3.5x unless the display has less than 1136 pixels in height. On my 1920x1200 display, I have a 4x option. If I use gamescope to spoof a 3840x2400 display then the scaling options go up to 8x. current
- 18:51, 16 December 2023 diff hist +10 m Dusk The exact wording from the similar note on The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is probably better as it doesn't imply that "Dusk HD" and "Dusk - Moddable" ever had Linux/macOS support in the first place.
- 18:27, 16 December 2023 diff hist +95 Dusk The Linux and macOS versions of the original game still exist, but the "DUSK HD" DLC is Windows-only and the "DUSK - Moddable" option in Steam on Linux tries to launch a non-existent Windows executable. I assume this is the appropriate section to make note of this, based on The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth's page having a similar note in this section.

- 00:05, 4 November 2023 diff hist -68 m Psychonauts →Generic controller button icons (Linux): Fixed "before" section which was accidentally the same as "after".
- 00:03, 4 November 2023 diff hist +3,277 Psychonauts →Issues fixed: Added button-prompt-related fixes. I don't know for sure that these issues are exclusive to the Linux version. The Windows version also has similarly formatted INI files, so if the same problems occur on Windows then the same solutions might work.
