What is the game, if I may ask? We might be able to better help if you just tell us. Because none of us want you to feel entrapped by MS.

It's Rocket League.

It worked for a long time on linux. But then Epic Games came in and made very sure it couldn't be played competitively anymore.

At least I think you cannot play online anymore on linux.

How recently is that? I've played plenty of Rocket League on Linux, but probably not within the last year.

I think It may actually work indeed !

I'm gonna retry it but initially it's this post that made me think it was over for RL on linux :

I will definitely try again in case it's just Epic Games saying it won't work but proton saving the day.

Thanks for the correction I truly thought Epic had killed linux RL via their anticheat.

Oh heck yeah!

Yeah, I was running it through Heroic launcher and it worked great.

Hope it still works for you, what a nice win that would be!

I installed Linux a couple months ago and been playing on existing steam RL account no problems using proton.

Edit: whoops I read the comment incorrectly it most definitely is not
