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.
It changes when people add reviews. The more people add reviews, quicker the medals change. Battlefield V ran great until EA decided to add kernel-level anticheat.
Is 6 months of reviews not enough?
To be fair, ProtonDB needs to add something like “last 3 months status”. Would not work for every game since some games barely have any reviews but would work for popular or relatively popular games. Otherwise, the medals are an overview from all time reviews, which can be misleading in this constantly changing situations.
The game works fine if you use a cracked version
Ok for the campaign but not really an option considering this is a primarily multiplayer game
But the game is playable, its just the anticheat that is broken, thats why it has a gold rating.
