Now that Epic Games has cut off Mac/Linux support for Rocket League, what are my options to get it back? Do I need to use Lutris now somehow, or can I just use a specific compatability layer in Steam?
Pissed at Epic for doing this, I thought support for SteamOS was supposed to be easy for devs using Proton?
Heroic launcher should do the job
I will try! For some reason it doesn’t want to show RL in my library but I’ll keep at it
If you already own the game on Steam just use Proton. It’s ran perfectly fine for me through various proton versions (whatever was the latest at the times I played) or proton expiremental. Before they dropped native support I would typically run the game through Proton anyways as it performed much better than the native Linux version at the time.
I've never played Rocket League, but I have it, I'll try installing it and see if I can figure it out. Generally if you're looking for help running games on Linux then ProtonDB or Lutris.net will usually have some useful information.
Best of luck, let me know! I’ll update this thread if I find anything.
@burndown okay so I installed it using Heroic Games Launcher and used Proton-GE-latest as the proton version. No other tweaks necessary.
doing the lord work, helping other thank you!
Nice that it supposedly still works, scummy move nonetheless. I stopped playing Rocket League back when Epic had bought it and started requiring an Epic Account to play.
I've bought a game on Steam one day and then the new publisher decided that I can't play it just with the account I used when I bought it. Doesn't seem right to me.
Works fine in Proton, not sure what you have to do if you don't have the game on Steam
It’s free on the Epic Games store, so if you use Heroic Launcher you can run it!
I quit that piece of shit when it went left steam. Proton should still work unless they have anticheat now or something.
heroic games launcher works just fine
Can you install/use heroic launcher? That would be the easiest way I believe.
That worked!
My friends are on Steam and it words fine
