[feat]: Warning that game is unsupported when you are trying to install it

[tux300200]

Feature description

Pls make a warning if you want to download an unsupported game (like Fortnite) that stops you from downloading it.
This would help a lot bc then you would not waste a lot of time downloading a game you can’t play

Before submitting

• I've made research efforts and searched the documentation
• I've searched for existing issues and PRs

We could create a website for the compatibility list instead of the google doc. And then use its api for the warnings

[tux300200]

@ilgrandeanonimo nice idea, then you are independent from mythic updates.

But I think you can actually use a google doc for APIs (I think its called App Script or something like that), but that's probably against Googles TOS...

Btw I totally forgot in the initial comment: You should also include data on what Engine Version something works or not (so you call the API with your engine version ==> the API checks with a saved range of version version numbers if your game is compatible and returns that.

Also a website to submit new games would be cool (I know there is the Google Form but you could make this like a lot nicer... [low priority])

Maybe, I'll try to make something this afternoon. I already know how to fetch games from steam for the cover and other stuff.

K, I think I´ll try my best making a cool submit website and an API

[tux300200]

@ilgrandeanonimo Ive scripted an API (will make a PR soon), and I thought combining those 2 ways would be pretty cool:

1. A official Database, only with submissions by mods (to get trusted information). You can call it (if the PR gets accepted) using getmythic.app/api/GameCompatabilityAPI?game=Rocket%20League for example and return 1 entry with the name, the tested engine version and a note (for example: [{"game":"Rocket League","engine":"0.6.0","notes":"Game runs perfectly on high settings."}]

2. A unofficial Database, only with submissions made by the community using the getmythic.app/submit page I made. If you call it using getmythic.app/api/CommunitySupportAPI?game=Rocket%20League for example it will return 0 or 1 or many entries, each containing the Name of the game, the tested engine version, a note and a submission date (for example: [{"game":"Rocket League","engine":"0.6.0","notes":"The game works great on my M4 Pro","submittedAt":"2026-01-18T14:42:14.480Z"},{"game":"Rocket League","engine":"0.5.0","notes":"The game works perfectly! I have more than 500 fps!","submittedAt":"2026-01-18T14:42:37.083Z"}]

What do you think and @vapidinfinity what do you think about that feature?

MythicApp/getmythic.app#1

[ilgrandeanonimo]

I was thinking to something different. Anyone after logging in can upload a game (if not present) and than mods have to approve, fix website, cover, description. Then anyone can upload reports:

{
    "id": "an uuid", // UUID, randomly generated every time
    "game": 1234, // Int, the game's id
    "platform": {
         "name": "mythic", // enum: Mythic, Crossover, etc...
         "version": "0.5.0"
     },
     "state": "playable" // enum: perfect, good, bad
}

Where:
perfect Everything works
good The game is playable, some not relevant features are not working
bad The is not playable or cannot be installed (for example for anticheats)

Or instead some performance stats like macgaming db

This reports would be retrieved from GET /api/report?game= (return an array of reports), could be uploaded with POST /api/report... and deleted with DELETE /api/report?id=

Ok, will try to code that tmr

Didn’t did that in the first place bc you have to authenticate (security risk etc) but will try my best to do that
