I tried it a few months ago and couldn’t get it to work. May just have been me, but even if I, a semi tech literate person has problems with it, good fucking luck getting the broader population to use Linux. It is simply too hard for regular people to do stuff, that just works with windows.
Sure windows has it’s issues, but they’re issues 95% of people will never encounter. Instead they’ll have an easy time installing software, and don’t have to look at a database to figure out wether or not they can even play a game.
It’s Rocket League.
It worked for a long time on linux. But then Epic Games came in and made very sure it couldn’t be played competitively anymore.
At least I think you cannot play online anymore on linux.
I installed Linux a couple months ago and been playing on existing steam RL account no problems using proton.
Comp in rocket leauge works fine for me! Tried on ubuntu and bazzite
Thanks for the feedback. I genuinely thought that since Epic Games was saying that online matchmaking wouldn’t work it was hopeless.
But I will be really pumped if I don’t have to reboot on Windows to play RL.

How recently is that? I’ve played plenty of Rocket League on Linux, but probably not within the last year.
I think It may actually work indeed !
I’m gonna retry it but initially it’s this post that made me think it was over for RL on linux :

I will definitely try again in case it’s just Epic Games saying it won’t work but proton saving the day.
Thanks for the correction I truly thought Epic had killed linux RL via their anticheat.
Oh heck yeah!
Yeah, I was running it through Heroic launcher and it worked great.
Hope it still works for you, what a nice win that would be!
