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.
You need to update to run multiplayer. I think linux is singleplayer or local only though(?)
