It's been kinda wonky for awhile. I've had to reinstall a few times to make it kick over and run.
Have a look here and see if anything works, but I'd totally wipe the proton directory then reinstall first: https://www.protondb.com/app/252950

Solution: I followed this comment https://lemmy.world/comment/17771097 and changed the Proton version from 9.0-4 to 8.0-5
I'm using Proton 9.0.4 to run the game. It used to run without errors, I don't know what changed.

Many thanks! I uninstalled all proton versions I had installed on steam.
I then redownloaded the game (the most painful part) and tried the Proton Experimental, which caused an error saying the compatibility tool failed. I then tried the Proton 8.0-5 (since I was using the 9.0-4 previously) and the problem went away.
I would try changing proton versions and maybe delete and re create the wine prefix that rocket league is pointed at. I see nothing in the logs..
Did exactly that. Looks like it was a problem with Proton 9.0-4, changed to 8.0-5 (after uninstalling every proton version and resinstalling the game)
Weird. I wud expect it to work well on proton 10 as well but im using GE proton via steam tinker launch so that bakkes mod can load on the side..
This. I usually default to GE Proton and get the best results without needing to dance around proton versions. I've heard of Steam Tinker, but haven't tried it yet. Normally I just inject it via Protonup-QT.
you can disable this useless processing from steam download settings. solved all of my issues launching games.
If your hardware is lower end it isn't useless. If I skip that then I get pretty bad stuttering in some games when new things are loaded in. If I let them cook in advance then that doesn't happen.
If your GPU is good enough (or your game potato-friendly enough) to compute shaders on the fly without issue then yeah it's pretty much useless.
I thought rocket league on steam wasnt working
I saw somebody posting this a few days ago.
I clicked the link they posted, it was just an statement saying that it wasn't officially supported on linux or MacOS, but it didn't have a date.
I think the person just saw the text and thought it was recent, but the native support for linux was dropped a long time ago. We just use proton now like we normally do on other games.
