UnknownNative Support
Although this game has a Linux-native build available, Steam does not list it as having Linux support. This can happen if a game has an unofficial, unfinished, or unsupported build. You may need to force Steam to enable Proton for the game in order to run properly.
No Linux Multi-Player Support
The game installs and you can load into the main menu but you can't play online multi-player. Epic really ruined this game.
Startup is a bit slow. Otherwise, it works great
NO MULTIPLAYER ANYMORE FOR LINUX AND MACOS
epic is blocking multiplayer when you do not use windows. so fuck that company all together. fuck usa.
good but use proton without it you wont be able to play online
none
No:1 ISSUE.
ShaderCache would constantly redownload all 8.5Gb at least twice a week.
This was....reSOLVED:
By adding:
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=100000000000
to :
sudo nano /etc/environment
then I deleted my user [ .nvidia-settings-rc ]
After this I recreated my [ .nvidia-settings-rc ] by opening nvidia-settings as root.
Then in nvidia-settings applications profiles (as root) one of the variables I enabled was:
[GLSHADERDISKCACHE ] which I set to [ true ]
I updated initramfs and rebooted. Rocket League again downloaded the entire 8.5Gb cache.
After this everything has been great. Working as expected.
Sidenote: I configured my KUBU 24.10 for performance following the recommendations from X's GROK. (The following made a huge difference to online gaming.)
With Rocket League and streaming in general I have noticed the following networking parameters have made a big difference. ( may not be right for you but works for me)
Optimize Network Buffers:
Improves online gaming performance:
echo 'net.core.rmem_max=16777216' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf &&
echo 'net.core.wmem_max=16777216' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf &&
sudo sysctl -p
Hav Fun!
This is rocket league !
The game works just as well as under Windows with identical framerate, latency etc. As a competitive player, i can't notice any difference from Windows. It works on both steam and heroic games launcher. One downside, bakkesmod would need effort to setup (didn't try it yet).
Long initial shader rendering times
After starting the game, I was prompted to register my Steam-account to Epic. However, I was not able to sign in in this moment and could not add my Steam-account afterwards (manually) when logged in. This required me to create a new account, connect it with steam, disconnect it from steam, and finally connect the Steam-account to my initial Epic account...
Warning: the game will not run with the native Linux build -- Proton is required.
Rumble is supposed to remain on while holding down the boost button. On all versions of Proton, the rumble cuts out after about two seconds.
I would really appreciate a fix for the rumble stopping after two seconds of boost. Thanks!
Taskbar appears above game until mouse used

Two config steps (launch command and run with proton) and this game works perfectly. Keep in mind I am on XORG due to Mint's Cinnamon desktop - I've played on Wayland and the launch settings were not necessary. With current config, I played 2 hours straight the other day with 0 hiccups, can easily launch, the game runs smoothly, had no issues seeing other people flip-reset on me in platinum!
Works just as native Windows/Xbox version without any visible issues
Epic just dropped Linux support for the game. No playing online anymore
Default Rocket Leauge install script and then changed it to point to the game's exe.
Just slightly slower than on windows, but bearable (+/- 5 fps on average.)
Sometimes ping would skyrocket to 99999, but it could also be my internet connection.
Since the game is delisted on Steam, Lutris and the Epic games launcher may be the only way to play it on linux now.
With compositing on, game feels like having Vsync on but still stable and playable. If you disable compositing, the game runs smooth. I get constant 360fps without drops, feels exactly like on windows. I was expecting input lag like some others have commented, but when compositing is off, there just isn't none. I play on a high level and would notice it.
Game feels like 60fps if you don't disable compositing, however its still stable. When compositing is disabled, I get 360fps with no drops or stutters. Feels exactly like windows. I have so many hours in this game that I was expecting to notice atleast some input lag like some have stated, but there just isn't none. Great experience.
Spiel läuft in Ordnung. Ich habe das gefühl, je länger eine Spielsitzung geht, desto schlechter wird die Performance.
Nach einer gewissen Zeit fängt das Spiel in manchen Situationen an zu laggen
Team Chat was not working with Audio
I had this game on Epic and Played with Heroic Launcher. Worked Well.

Everything is running very smooth for me now. Just remember to compile all your shaders before playing. I'm matching my refresh rate of 180hz all the time without issue and I don't feel any noticeable input lag at a high enough skill level to care about that.
Game sometimes freezing for 2 seconds
Video freezes, audio continues looping
I have tried many different proton versions through the Heroic wine manager - Wine-GE-Latest, Proton-GE-Latest, Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, Proton 9.0 (Beta). They all eventually freeze in the same way. I have experimented using other Wine settings with no success. This happens at any point during gameplay including training, local play, online matches and when waiting in between matches.
The online play in Rocket League worked perfectly fine here
If you are using the steam version, make sure it's running with Proton
Input feels like you have VSync on, but it's much more playable when you change the Input settings in-game
Worked perfectly
Working Out of the box
Rocket League cannot start, even after OS-Reinstall
Hey there! Tried everything, (no i wont switch Distro or DE for this matter) Reinstalled the game, tried with another Proton Version (even GE), cleared all Partition-Tables for all drives, Reinstalled the Operating System, disconnected all drives, but my Steam-Profile switches from "online" to "ingame" and in an Instant back to "online". Not even a Window appears, thanks for helping, M.
Rocket League doesnt start, even after OS-Reinstall
I tried everything (no i wont switch Distro or DE for this matter), tried Reinstalling the Game, deleted all partitions, Reinstalled the System, disconnected all drives, tried different Proton Versions, nothing. The game gets recognized, Steam says it should start, my profile switches from "online" to "ingame" and switches instant back to "online", not even opening a window. Would be nice, if someone could help me, arch has rn a problem with installing pipewire but idk. Thanks For help, M.
I would like to mention that while there is inevitably some increased input lag, even above diamond if you're using ge-proton its truly not that bad. Study strategy people!
You need to play this game through proton to play it at all. The native build is no longer supported. I was having some occasional audio crackles and frame drops on proton-experimental but these went away using ge-proton.
Kontroler Xbox PowerA - brak input laga, fps porównywalne z Windowsem. Ustawienia ultra FHD bez MSAA
Out of the box better then Windows
For me the game felt more smooth then on Windows where i got lag spikes, not happening on linux.
If you're diamond or below you will be fine with playing this. Anything higher and you will be at a significant disadvantage.
Lag on controller. If you're diamond or below you won't notice it but anything higher and it will be a hinderance to your gameplay.
This game applies a 750MB patch every time it is launched or exited. It can take upwards of 5 minutes to actually launch the game depending on your internet speed.
Lag in game with controller.
I have tried this with an external screen and peripherals, and the lag is still noticeable. Also, it applying a 750MB patch before launching every time is very annoying.
Make sure to set the game to force proton experimental in the game properties on steam, otherwise you cannot play multiplayer
