Details

EVENT!

The Event! header will only display itself if the Steam update is less than 10 days old.

Region Locks Still Apply

If a game is inaccessible due to georestrictions, this skin will fail to fetch data. VPNs can help circumvent this issue, but if the VPN is inactive at the time of data fetching, the skin will freeze up.

15's the Limit

This skin enforces an active database limit of 15 active entries at a time. This limit is arbitrary, and is only 15 because the other entry-limited Skins are 15 as well; you can manually go into eventbanner.ini and change the Limit variable to whatever limit you like. A large number of entries, however, will make it extremely painful to navigate between games.
