Epic Games developer Psyonix has published a sneak peek at an updated version of Rocket League running in Unreal Engine 6, revealing a first look at its new logo.
Which version of proton? I can start the game and play bots, but the multiplayer is not availble for steam/epic friends. Literally no multiplayer browser loads at all.
EDIT: Jesus. I’m still testing, but it looks like steam installs the defunct “Linux” build of rocket league that has not been updated for 6 years. You need to install the proton version instead by enabling proton experimental in the comparability mode.
I have it working without issue just via steam now. Deleting the game and enabling “proton experimental” in the games comparability settings downloaded the modern game. On start, it opened a browser tab and had me link my steam/epic accounts, and bobs your uncle.
I have heroic launcher installed for gog/epic, but its not involved with this. Its good to know there is an alternative install path possible if I need it.
Interesting, I must be misinformed, someone told me it only worked on heroic with the anticheat etc. And that the linux build is “preventing” to get the modern windows build on linux.
I will try again on steam. Also I noticed my controller driver is loaded by steam… So it works only if I have steam up and running anyway.
There is a “steam-devices” linux package I need to look into…
Yeah, they are correct. Steam works fine, you just need to set the compatibility to Proton in RL settings in Steam. Then it will download the Windows version of the game. You can do so before installing, even, I believe, so it will install the correct version right away.
I’ve been playing like this for years now. Great not to have to boot into Windows. 😌

Yes. The steam linux build is dated many years ago.
You need heroic launcher to properly play RL on linux.
You can setup a steam shortcut starting it in heroic though.
