Rocket League has been running smoothly for me, even before they stopped supporting the linux client and before switching to epic.
I’m running Fedora 42 Workstation and have now tested Rocket League on Fedora Workstation 41 and 42 with GNOME 47 and 48 on Wayland. Both ran buttery smooth on 2560x1440@144Hz. I did not try X11, haven’t used it in years.
I start Rocket league via steam with the proton-experimental and the input parameters as follows. You can leave out Mangohud, of course. gamemode may also be unnecessary.
MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command%
The only problem I had with Rocket League at one point (sometime last month) was Rocket League refusing to start. I did not reinstall, just tried switching from proton-9 to proton-experimental and my problems were solved. I probably should uninstall the game and delete leftover files like the wine prefix, then reinstall and test again.
If Rocket League is the only game affected, you might see something in the proton log. If you start your game with the following launch parameters, steam writes a proton log file into your home folder.
