Now that Epic Games has cut off Mac/Linux support for Rocket League, what are my options to get it back? Do I need to use Lutris now somehow, or can I just use a specific compatability layer in Steam?

Pissed at Epic for doing this, I thought support for SteamOS was supposed to be easy for devs using Proton?

Edit: Heroic Launcher was the solution, and very easy. Thanks to all!! Edit 2: Heroic Launcher version was being weird with a controller so switching RL on Steam to Proton Experimental also worked.

I've never played Rocket League, but I have it, I'll try installing it and see if I can figure it out. Generally if you're looking for help running games on Linux then ProtonDB or Lutris.net will usually have some useful information.

Best of luck, let me know! I'll update this thread if I find anything.

@burndown okay so I installed it using Heroic Games Launcher and used Proton-GE-latest as the proton version. No other tweaks necessary. You can use Heroic Games Launcher to add your Epic Games games to Steam so you can launch it directly from the Steam Deck Library.
