Disable installing games with broken anticheat (add advanced setting for override)

Open arielj opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

Users keep installing games like Fornite on linux even after all the warnings, so I'm making it harder to install without reading that the game will not work.

By default we now disable installing games with broken or denied anticheat. Users that care to read the messages will see that this measure can be disabled in the Advanced settings (I added even more warnings).

After checking the toggle in the advanced settings, the warning that asks users to click I understand this won't work, install anyway is still displayed.

I know this is more aggressive, but it's only more annoying for users that don't read. Advanced users can just disable this check once in the settings and it won't bother again.


Use the following Checklist if you have changed something on the Backend or Frontend:

  • [ ] Tested the feature and it's working on a current and clean install.
  • [ ] Tested the main App features and they are still working on a current and clean install. (Login, Install, Play, Uninstall, Move games, etc.)
  • [ ] Created / Updated Tests (If necessary)
  • [ ] Created / Updated documentation (If necessary)
