    I'm pretty sure this is because Epic servers don't support Linux, payday 2 ran into this recently where Linux just no longer works. Epic is such a shit stain on the games industry

      You mean you can't play Rocket League on Linux at all? I haven't played recently but a couple months ago it worked for me totally fine through Heroic Launcher.

        I think he meant that it used to have a native Linux version, so much so that I got my copy from buying a steam controller. The first thing that epic did was rove the Linux build, and we had to use proton to play it. I remember complaining at the time and got a response from those dumbasses that always troll Linux users on steam saying something like "that's your problem, the game still works for windows, just use windows", I guess those same people now just play it on the epic store or whatever, because they seem so complacent when the game was removed from some people that I can only assume they were also complacent when it was removed from them.

          Yeah that's what I assumed, but saying "Epic servers don't support Linux" had me a bit confused.

          Also, the game is still playable from steam as long as you bought it before it was moved to the epic store. Not trying to defend epic, if it was up to me it would still be on steam, but those people probably haven't had to move at all.

            I haven't tried multiplayer, but I have played against bots on Linux through Steam and it works fine. I used to play MP in RL on Linux, butb I'm not touching that again now that Epic messed with it.

            Admittedly I was inferring from the comment that the servers don't work on Linux, specifically because of the example I used (payday 2) where that IS the case because of the switch to Epic's servers a few months ago
