The only games that won't run are Battlefield and Cod, LoL, etc

Oh really ?

That's a bold statement.

Also I suppose it's my own fault for wanting to play competitive multiplayer games online on Linux ?

It's impressive because you probably hope for the same thing as me for gaming on linux but you are toxic as fuck and only think your type of games should be supported.

We are supposed to be in the same team but you shit on the games I want to play instead.

Honestly fuck you.

Edit : My god I shouldn't have watched your comment history.
That AOSP comment my dude...

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.

I switched to cachyos an Arch based distro and I'm loving it so far, no hitches in any game so far.

it's gotta be League right?

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

my own fault for wanting to play competitive multiplayer games online on Linux ?

Yes, that's what I said. If you are able to play competitive stuff nowadays, your nerves should be able to put up with the pain of dual booting.

You're a dickhead.

But dual booting still means using Windows even if it is just for gaming. Which is exactly what I fucking do.

I use W10 and PopOS as dual boot and play all I can on linux.
I even just setup everything for secure boot to work properly on both OS.

But no I'm such a masochist for wanting to just continue ln playing a game like rocket league with my friends online. What a madman.

And it's also my fault if some big dev studios bought a game I liked and then said that linux players have too many cheaters and that they block this platform.

And then there is you on the sideline, all sneakering and enjoying the fact that another cannot play the games they love on their linux platform. So yeah I repeat it, fuck you for hoping the games I play dont get support.

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.

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!

Comp in rocket leauge works fine for me!
Tried on ubuntu and bazzite

Weirdly, it kinda was...

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.

So which destructive bug did they add this time? It seems the article isn't complete

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.

I installed Linux a couple months ago and been playing on existing steam RL account no problems using proton.

Throw it on a windows VM. Snapshot the VM. If the VM ever pisses you off, just rollback.
