    I’ve been playing Rocket League for years, just because it’s a good way to hang out with a friend who likes it.

    For probably the past year, I’ve been playing it in Linux. But recently, suspiciously at about the same time that they added the anti-cheat software, Rocket League has become barely playable in Linux, at least for me.

    I don’t really see the need for either anti-cheat or an engine update. I only anticipate that it will make it run even worse in Linux.

      I’ve been running it on Linux for a few years now. The performance is better than Windows.

      The anti cheat feature might not matter to you, but at higher ranks it ruins the game to run into bots at every corner.

      I just need them to do the “Authenticating” bit much faster. 3 seconds was already way too long to be joining a match, but now with the authentication step it can sometimes be upward of 15 second, which is an eternity in RL play.

        I haven’t played it in awhile, but it also ran great on my steam deck through heroic

        For me, when I load the game, sometimes at the title screen, but more frequently only when I start a competitive game, the entire screen starts flashing black and then back to the game maybe once or twice a second. It often settles down after a minute and stops flashing, but sometimes it starts flashing again or it won’t stop for the entire game. And then, sometimes, the entire screen turns black and stays black and I have to restart the game to get the graphics to return.

            I always switch back and forth between hotfix and experimental to see if one works better. So basically, I use those two.

          I don’t know man, but my instincts of repairing pcs for the last 30 years tell me its either a graphics driver issue (including stuff like DXVK and MESA), a graphics card issue, or an issue with the PSU - that’s where i would start looking
