Rocket League is Ending Support For Linux +====== + +If you’ve enjoyed playing Rocket League on Linux, you will be disappointed to know that [Pysonix][1], the developer team behind Rocket League [announced][2] that they will be dropping support for Linux and Mac in March, 2020. + +If it was just another casual game on [Steam][3], I wouldn’t mind- but Rocket League is a quite popular online multiplayer game across every platform. + +![][4] + +In fact, Rocket League was one of my [favorite games to play on Linux][5] (in addition to CS: GO). Even though I haven’t played it for a while – it is a bummer that I won’t be able to play it either. + +So, this is definitely sad for Linux gamers who were looking forward to having fun in a popular online multiplayer game that required a decent hardware configuration to work flawlessly. + +### Why are they ending support? + +![][6] + +In their [announcement][2], they mentioned: + +> As we continue to upgrade _**Rocket League**_ with new technologies, it is no longer viable for us to maintain support for the macOS and Linux (SteamOS) platforms. As a result, the final patch for the macOS and Linux versions of the game will be in March. This update will disable online functionality (such as in-game purchases) for players on macOS and Linux, but offline features including Local Matches, and splitscreen play will still be accessible. + +Well, this certainly does not explain why they’re dropping support for Linux/Mac. But, it looks like the game will get its final patches in March. + +**After that, you will not be able to play multiplayer sessions – but will be restricted to the local multiplayer sessions (or split-screen)**. + +Maybe you can try using [Wine][7] or [Steam Play][8] to play it on Linux? Doesn’t sound good though. + +Some furious users/gamers on [Reddit][9] mentioned that this is a result of Epic Games acquiring Rocket League developer **Psyonix**. I wouldn’t comment on that one – feel free to share your thoughts in the comments though. + +### How to get a refund for your Rocket League purchase + +![][10] + +To get a refund for your purchase of the Rocket League, you need to open a ticket on the [Psyonix Support][11] page. + +If you’ve purchased it recently in the ongoing Steam sale – you might just get an instant refund from Steam if you initiate a refund. + +If you have no plans to play it on a Windows machine (or trying Proton/Wine) on Linux – you should apply for a refund. + +**Wrapping Up** + +While this may not be a big-shot game for the platform but dropping support for Linux is not helping to improve the gaming scene on Linux. + +If a game that worked quite well on Linux drops support for it – how can we expect newer games to consider adding support for Linux? + +Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments down below. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/rocket-league-ending-support-for-linux/ + +作者:[Ankush Das][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://www.psyonix.com/ +[2]: https://www.rocketleague.com/news/ending-support-for-mac-and-linux/ +[3]: https://store.steampowered.com/app/252950/Rocket_League/ +[4]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/rocket-league.jpg?ssl=1 +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/free-linux-games/ +[6]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/rocket-league-shot.jpg?ssl=1 +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/use-windows-applications-linux/ +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/steam-play/ +[9]: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/esxil2/support_for_rocket_league_on_linux_is_ending/ +[10]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/rocket-league-refund.jpg?ssl=1 +[11]: https://support.rocketleague.com/hc/en-us
