[Solved] Rocket League on steam stuck at 0% on shader processing. After 1 minute, this pop up closes and the game does not open. Game runs normally on heroic games launcher (epic games)

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.

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..

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

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.

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..

[email protected]

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.

I thought rocket league on steam wasnt working

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 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.
