Hi, my name's Voxarp. I learned of PCGamingWiki from the late TotalBiscuit's videos back in the day and I used to help contribute from time to time but now days I'm mostly just a user. Thanks to everyone involved for providing such a great wiki!
Recently Valve has introduced a new feature of SteamPlay called Proton which is a variant of WINE that allows Linux and possibly OSX to run Windows-only games. It's an exciting time!
What the community seems to desperately need is a resource to:
Report game compatibility, possibly with a WineDB type rating of Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum - right now all we have is a spreadsheet on Google Docs. Present fixes and workarounds for games that don't work out of the box. Provide clear delineation between Proton versions, a game might work properly on one Proton version but not another. Possibly provide an overview page with statistics on the percentage of games working, with a table that lets you sort by criteria such as Proton version or compatibility rating. I know this is a lot of effort and not to be taken lightly, but I feel it fits right in with PCGamingWiki's objective of providing fixes and workarounds for every single PC game.

This is a pack containing a compiled OpenAL Soft libraries and softwares for Linux use. It was compiled by me (KayX291) in order to help newcomers with using OpenAL Soft without trying to compile it by themselves. It can be used for specific software which uses OpenAL or use it in your system as a replacement.
The main difference between OpenAL and OpenAL Soft is the fact that the latter is not only open source, but also a support for mono, stereo, 4-channel, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 and HRTF output. But with the configurator, you can customize and even enhance the sound output with filters, effects etc.
It contains:
- OpenAL Soft libraries
- OpenAL Soft GUI Configurator
- HRTF files
- alsoftrc sample file
and more.
They are available in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
Dependencies required:
Qt5 and pressumably SDL2 (For GUI configurator to work)
Compiled on:
ArchLinux - 64 bit
Manjaro 17.0.6 (via VirtualBox) - 32 bit
Credits
Loki Software for OpenAL
KCat for OpenAL Soft

This is a source port for two Blake Stone games called BStone, compiled by me since in the GitHub page the creator did not include the precompiled one cept for Windows one.
It is based on the 1.1.9 source code, than the development version so it is generally stable.
All you need to do is just put the binary file into the main game folder and you're ready to go. It supports Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold and Blake Stone: Planet Strike
BStone was made by Boris I. Bendovsky
Compiled by KayX291
Dependencies required to run:
SDL v.2.0.1 (Also known as SDL2) or newer
Main page (with instructions) and the source code can be found in this link:

This is a bundle created for the sake of playing Unreal Tournament on Linux system.
It is based on Flibitijibibo's UT Linux Steam Install pack, but implemented the unofficial 451 Patch.
Be sure to read the README-KayX291.txt first!
The only thing you are required are the game assets which can be found by buying the game from Steam, GOG.com, Retail etc.
NOTE: If you encounter any issue regarding connecting to servers that rely on UTPG's patch (Such as Multiplay ones), you have no choice but to use the Flibitijibibo's UT Linux Steam Install pack.
Non-Steam users can just copy and paste the content of his pack into main game folder, but if you wish to use some of the content I've made for this patch, I have uploaded the Extras for that.

This is a pack of goodies that were used for my UT Native Linux 451 Patched.
It basically contains all the content from the Goodies such as:
* Chris Donhal's OpenGLDrv
* Loki Compatibility Libs
* Server Creation Wiki page in text form
* NPLoader files
It also includes the "ut-fps" script and the Troubleshooting text file in case if you encounter any issues.
This was made due to the fact that there is an issue regarding difficulties to connecting server which use 451 version from UTPG's. However, the mentioned version is backwards compatible with 436, which Flibitijibibo's back was made on.
