It would be very helpful for user to know which games are restricted in specific countries on steam. I don't mean CIS and ROW games, more like games affected by 3rd party DRM like GFWL, publisher decision or even something as strange as auto-locked in Japan unless dev/pub manually set it as available in Japan.

Games that aren't directly available from the Steam store in particular regions can usually be acquired through Steam gifts and/or other digital distributors. There are probably some exceptions that use region-locking to totally prevent access in unsupported regions but I'm not sure how to find out about such cases.

 

GFWL games are generally only listed in Xbox LIVE Countries and Regions but that doesn't prevent playing them; outside these areas the games can still be played using a local profile (although only in offline modes). As far as I know GFWL local profiles are supported by all games other than Bulletstorm and Age of Empires Online.

and thats why I requested it. that list is wrong/outdated. There is a lot of games that use GFWL and are not available in some eu countries and then there are GFWL games that are available everywhere. I know of no site that have up to date list of region restricted games in certain countries. steamdb have something similar but that is more like a note to steamapp, rather than separate list

      FlatOut v1.1 Patch for Steam & GOG
      By AlexKVideos1
      The Steam and GOG versions of FlatOut are the v1.0 version. This is the v1.1 patch for FlatOut that works with the digital releases of the game: Steam & GOG.
       
      Originally posted by Clya900, the patch was missing 2 files are now included in this download, patch1.bfs, and patch.ini. Without these files, the game would fail to load, and shows a Runtime error. The game now has been tested on the Steam version, and works perfectly fine, however the GOG is untested, but should work just as well.
       
      Original patch notes below:
       
      FlatOut PC patch v1.1
      2004-Dec-10
       
      To install the patch:
      Copy the Flatout.exe, patch1.bfs and patch.ini files to the root of the install folder (by default this is c:\program files\empire interactive\flatout) and run the game.
       
       
      The following items have been fixed or improved:
      * Fix for the nVidia 66.93 drivers. The game no longer crashes when a race is started. The game has also been tested up to the 67.03 drivers with no problems found.
      * Engine fire burns aligned to the car's coordinates, e.g. when the car is upside down, flames go down.
      * Tuning menu: BHP meter and colors randomly switch when changing profile.
      * Flip back and forth to statistics screen and the BHP grows bug.
      * Force feedback slows game in some cases.
      * 5.1 sound support is not working on some setups.
      * Disconnects when returning to the lobby in multiplayer games.
      * When the game briefly minimizes before starting a multiplayer game, sometimes gives a blue screen (this is quite rare, but it does happen sometimes)
      * Only 2 players can play if NetLimiter is installed.
      * Bug with public ip detection, if the commandline network options are used.
      * Enabled a switch to allow the player to turn off ragdoll in single player (located in the Options Menu).
      * Enabled multiplayer destruction derby.

      SteamPlay/Proton Support
      By Voxarp
      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.

      Could 'Steam Controller API support' be changed to 'Steam Input API'?
      By Effcol
      Valve have changed the name of the 'Steam Controller API' to 'Steam Input API'. The wiki still has the old name, could it be updated please? :)

      Download the ZIP and drag the contents called "link.exe, Manhunt Fix.bat, mspdb80.dll, patchrun.bat" into you're Manhunt folder.
       
      Once the "link.exe, Manhunt Fix.bat, mspdb80.dll, patchrun.bat" is in the Manhunt folder run Manhunt Fix.bat and another command prompt will show up, press enter.
