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.

      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.
