That means 10% of windows games use invasive anti-cheat?
- qudat 11mo agoYea, all the really popular online games are gonna be in that 10%. All i want is rocket league :( At least tf2 works
- wingmanjd 11mo agoFWIW, Rocket League works just fine on Linux, but you need to set it to the Proton compatibility, not the native Linux client.
- amarant 11mo agoI too recall having issues with the anti-cheat last I tried (years ago at this point). How did those issues get fixed? Did they abandon the anti cheat, or does the anti cheat now work under proton?
- Zambyte 11mo agoRocket League never had issues with anti-cheat. I have been actively playing it since before they stopped shipping a native version.
- amarant 11mo agoWhat? They use Easy Anti Cheat, which is one of those nasty kernel level anti cheats. Even ignoring my personal experience with the issue, a kernel level anti cheat built for windows seems quite unlikely to not have any issues whatsoever on Linux... Do you only play offline or something?
- Zambyte 11mo agoRocket League literally has a platinum status on ProtonDB[0]. It works perfectly on Steam using Proton if you have it there, or Heroic[1] if you have it through EGL. Rocket League has literally never been unable to run on GNU/Linux. The full game. Multiplayer, Steam workshop, everything. I suspect you may be thinking of a different game honestly. Maybe League of Legends? I think they switched to an invasive anti cheat a few years ago that caused it to no longer work on GNU/Linux.

- ZiiS 11mo agoRocket League was native on Linux at one point.
- favorited 11mo agoBefore Epic Games acquired it...
- kgwxd 11mo agoDoes Rocket League no longer work with Proton? It used to work even better than both the native Linux and Windows versions for me back in the day. If not, what changed?
- Jeaye 11mo agoRocket League works just fine for me, via Proton. I have over 4k hours in, each one of them done from Linux. BakkesMod also works, thanks to https://github.com/CrumblyLiquid/BakkesLinux https://github.com/CrumblyLiquid/BakkesLinux Rocket League has a platinum rating on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/252950 https://www.protondb.com/app/252950
- qudat 11mo agoDoes that include multiplayer? As far as i know, multiplayer was killed a couple years ago, which is actually what i meant by “works on Linux”
- inoffensivename 11mo agoYeah I have hundreds of hours or more in Rocket League on Linux, all competitive multiplayer. I use the Heroic launcher: https://heroicgameslauncher.com/ https://heroicgameslauncher.com/
- Jeaye 11mo agoYES! Use the Proton version, not the native Linux version.
- whichquestion 11mo agoI was able to get a new install of Rocket League working recently using Heroic Launcher! https://heroicgameslauncher.com/ https://heroicgameslauncher.com/
- rocky1138 11mo agoPerhaps there is an opportunity for an open source reimplementation like OpenMW or OpenRA?
- 0xC0ncord 11mo agoAccording to ProtonDB[1], about 7-10% of the top 100 and top 1000 games are "borked", but the actual reason why can be nuanced. However, these days it is almost always anti-cheat. [1] https://www.protondb.com/dashboard https://www.protondb.com/dashboard
- MangoToupe 11mo agoAnti-cheat will be basically impossible to overcome until studios specifically cater to linux. I'm not sure to what extent this is even possible given how hackable linux is, and how many variants there are, but it's plausible a blessed distro with a signed kernel (somehow? Not sure if this is a thing) might support it.
- buildbot 11mo agoWith a signed kernel and secure boot it should in principle be similiar to Windows 11? But with DMA based hacks on the rise I'm not sure it matters either way.
