Some games with community star ratings are not appearing as expected in sorting, and playlists

[Mark Tomas]

I’m noticing that sometimes games with high community star ratings are not appearing in the expected order and tier when arranging by star rating within a given platform. Also, they are not auto populating into custom playlists where star rating is a condition and the range specified should include the game based on it’s star rating.

‌

A few examples, although I’ve run into many more:

‌

Olympic Summer Games: Atlanta 1996 for 3DO - Rated 3.25 by community, and appearing in the Not Rated sort area

C.P.U. Bach for 3DO - Rated 3.83 by community, and appearing in Not Rated

Moraffs World for Dos - Rated 5 and appearing in Not Rated

‌

I’m not sure if this is affecting some platforms more than others, but it is especially bad for Mattel Intellivision

In >LaunchBox>Tools under the Search section do you have the box checked to use Community Star Rating When Filtering?

Thanks for sharing that setting. I was not aware of it. That seems to have solved the issue. In my case it appears many of the star rated games had only 2-3 community ratings. The reason they did not appear was because the default minimum is set at 5 in the search section.

This is not a bug, there is an underlying default setting which caused the issue.
