  It has seen better days. But, Psyonix shot themselves in the foot by taking exclusivity with Epic and even allowing themselves to be bought out by Epic.

  I play every blue moon, but I can’t care anymore since it’s too easy to get banned and Psyonix sucks the cocks of not only Epic Games, but elitist players.

    How is it easy to get banned?

      Easy, just quit a few casual matches and they’ll escalate the time they’ll bar you from entering any game mode.

      That’s how bad. Add in a few words from their arbitrary unknown list of words you can’t say and you’ll find it permanent.

        Casual quit punishments are dumb imo but they did make casual games a bit better on average. And you probably only got banned from chat if you said some heinous shit. I’m pretty sure they just chat ban first no?

        Anyway it’s super easy not to get banned on rl since the game emphasizes quick chat anyway

  I stopped when they kept banning me for quitting a game because it would not connect my friend either.

  They never removed it from Steam? I’ve been playing it on there since 2015. If you bought it there, you have it. Even works on Linux with Proton.

    Removed from Steam store so unavailable for purchase. Those who bought it prior will retain access until Epic says fuck you.

      Right. If you bought it there you have it there. And the person I replied to obviously bought it there, so it shouldn’t be removed for them. Context, right?

      I doubt Epic will remove it from Steam though. That’ll be the day they really kill their user base.

        Right, I meant that they mentioned removal as in removed from the store and not their library.

        They wouldn’t outright remove it but they did stop updating the linux version on steam. With the news of UE6 update, there is a chance they would either do a makeover like CSGO or simply make a new page for RL 2 which will be only available on their store.

        The death of player trading was the last straw for me and haven’t played it since then. I might try it if the UE6 update comes to steam but I don’t have a lot of faith in those epic fucks.

        Also do you need epic games account to play? I remember some sort of linking but can’t recall if it was mandatory.

    Which version of proton? I can start the game and play bots, but the multiplayer is not availble for steam/epic friends. Literally no multiplayer browser loads at all.

      Yes. The steam linux build is dated many years ago.

      You need heroic launcher to properly play RL on linux.

      You can setup a steam shortcut starting it in heroic though.

        I have it working without issue just via steam now. Deleting the game and enabling the proton experimental option in the comparability option downloaded he modern game. On start, it opened a browser tab and had me link my steam/epic accounts, and bobs your uncle.

        I have heroic launcher installed for gog/epic, but its not involved with this. Its good to know there is an alternative install path possible.

    You know what they meant.

    • Bananskal@nord.pub ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I know what Epic did, and I know what they’re referring to, but the game is not gone, it’s just not purchasable. And this person obviously owns it because they were playing before Epic made it free to play. So I don’t know what the issue is for them.

    It needs an Epic account for online play, right?

    source

    • Bananskal@nord.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Granted, yes. But after you hook that up, you basically don’t have to touch Epic again. No re-logins ever required. 👍

  Idk dude I’m still playing it on steam pretty regularly?

  It’s still decently popular with an active esports scene. It had a resurgence just a couple months ago when some big variety streamers like Jynxzi and critikal played it.

  If you bought the game on Steam, you can still play it through Steam (it’s what I do)

      I don’t think so? Or… maybe that was always the case? Idk, I picked the game back up a few months ago after not having played it since 2017 and I don’t remember needing to login. I even still had my cosmetic purchases from 2016
