I was looking at the protondb for Battlefield V and it has a gold medal despite the fact that it has been literally unplayable (the game won’t even start) fpr 6 months now.
Are medals impossible to lose? Or do they run on some sort of manual verification? Is there some way to request a game to have it’s grade changed.
For reference, the change in this case was the addition of EA Anti-cheat, which breaks linux compatibility and borked a considerable number of games, even older ones.
The problem here is that about 6 months ago the game implemented an anti-cheat that blocks linux. Despite 6 months of reports that it flat out does not work, the game still has a gold medal.
Well if theie anti-cheat blocks Linux…I’m not sure what you expect the proton devs to do?
I’m not expecting a fix, I am just trying to understand what needs to happen for the game’s grade to reflect the actual status of the title.
The game’s functional state in Proton is one thing: does it start, support controls, and render without crashing.
That’s “Gold” on ProtonDB.
This does not guarantee online play and anti-cheat bans by platform, because that’s not what the project is about.
The project is simply about making games RUN. Online play is a separate thing.
