I recently reinstalled RL after not playing for 2 years, running Linux for my gaming pc these days. Almost every time I open up steam, there’s a multi gigabyte rocket league update. Is that normal? Can I play without updating every time?
I’m not sure about the frequency but on Linux you sometimes get small (few megabytes) updates to the shader cache but multi-gigabyte updates are just normal Rocket League updates (or I can’t think of any other reason).
I too have Rocket League on Steam running on Linux but I haven’t noticed any frequent big updates. Not anything out of the ordinary.
I set it to only update when I start it. Hopefully the big updates will become less frequent.
You need to update to run multiplayer. I think linux is singleplayer or local only though(?)
Psyonix ended Mac and Linux support but you can still play Rocket League (the Windows version) on Linux via Proton (a compatibility layer that translates Windows specific calls to their Linux equivalents). You can even run BakkesMod alongside it.
Haven’t tried online yet, but I didn’t get any warnings, so I think that should work.
