Description

I have seen a number of people get confused about how mods being marked Damaged or Broken are displayed inside the application, thinking the red/yellow text was just a styling thing

Potential ideas (probably don't enact all of them):

  • Also add strikethrough to the mod name
  • Also add the red/yellow crosshatch like ficsit.app does with the mod icon (not sure how useful this is
  • Add a pop-up before the game is allowed to launch. Presents the list of Broken/Damaged mods with expand/collapse sections to read their compat info messages
  • Add a banner that appears when your profile has Broken/Damaged mods installed
