The day when I can play Rocket League under Linux without anti-cheat kicking in is when I will stop using it completely. Until then, I am dual booting.

The funny thing about this was that Rocket League was native on Linux and Psyonix removed Linux support.

  Epic bought them, moved it to the Epic Store which has no Linux support. Makes sense to drop it.

    Lutris solves most of that problem. I installed Unreal Engine through it.

    supporting Epic is one of the most shooting-yourself-in-the-foot moves you can make as a gamer.

I run it on Linux everyday with Steam on Proton. It is my go to game on steamdeck and my Fedora desktop. By default steam wants to download the old old old Linux version that doesn't allow online play, but if you enable proton it will download the Windows version and run fine. I am pretty sure it doesn't have a real anti-cheat included.

  Are you sure? Is this recent (last 6 months)? I enabled it and tested multiple versions of Proton with no success. Did you have to do anything else?

    In addition to making sure that the EAC runtime is installed, try setting the compatibility command to: SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windows,x11 %command% This is a typical problem with EAC.

      Every thread that starts with "Linux gaming is basically 100% ready now" progresses into hacks like this :)

        To be fair, every thread that starts with "Win 11 can still be debloated" progresses into registry hacks too :)

    I don't have to do anything else. I just use the current proton. I just installed it on the flatpak version too. No trouble.

What? Rocket League works fine on Proton with no weirdness. Played a bunch of competitive matches with no issues whatsoever.

Better say your last goodbyes in that case, as it's always worked perfectly =b Riot's Vanguard on the other hand, has unfortunately made it impossible to play LoL =c
