At the very least my most played game ever isn't supported and never will be.

So if I go full linux i will just have to stop playing a game I played for almost 10 years and a game that was owned by a small game dev studio when I started playing. It sucks. I couldn't guess some Epic games would buy this game and then officially make sure it won't run on linux.

What is the game, if I may ask? We might be able to better help if you just tell us. Because none of us want you to feel entrapped by MS.

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.

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!

it's gotta be League right?

Edit: whoops I read the comment incorrectly it most definitely is not
