Whoah, it actually works! Finally, I won't need to boot to windows to play some ranked games!

Quoting: MGOid

Quoting: paasistiIt seems I got burned (Cinnamon complains that it's running without video hardware acceleration with this ppa) so I tried this. After the first phase it lists out as WILL BE REMOVED nearly every component there is and prompts for "Yes, I know what I'm doing". I did this once, and it wrecked my system. If I type anything else, it takes me to another list with still plenty of stuff being removed (including libs from vlc, skype, steam..). What should I do here? I don't want to reinstall my system like I had to do last time..

Strange, I didn't remember ppa-purge do this with me. What distro are you using and what PPA are you trying to remove?

Linux Mint 18 with Cinnamon.

I'm using sudo ppa-purge ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/pkppa

I tried aborting the first deletion and accepting the second, but that didn't get me too far it seems. Now ppa-purge says that the PPA is removed, but my Mesa version is still 13.0.2 - padoka PPA and the original issue is not fixed (and, skype and steam won't start so need to reinstall those, at the least..)

EDIT:
Complete output

EDIT again:
Well, I solved this by upgrading to the bleeding edge PPA. Everything seems okay now (no screen tearing as there was before when I tried the PPA) so I guess everything is awesome again. Although it would would be nice to know how to downgrade if there's ever need..

Quoting: MGOidFor the people who are new to this PPA thing, in the case something go wrong, to switch between PPAs or if you just want to go back to the stock packages, you can uninstall a PPA installing the package "ppa-purge":

sudo apt install ppa-purge

Then, you can uninstall a PPA with:

sudo ppa-purge nameofppa

It seems I got burned (Cinnamon complains that it's running without video hardware acceleration with this ppa) so I tried this. After the first phase it lists out as WILL BE REMOVED nearly every component there is and prompts for "Yes, I know what I'm doing". I did this once, and it wrecked my system. If I type anything else, it takes me to another list with still plenty of stuff being removed (including libs from vlc, skype, steam..). What should I do here? I don't want to reinstall my system like I had to do last time..

Don't know if it was the latest Mesa or RL patch, but the AMD+Mesa loading issues seem to have been fixed! After a few test games I can say that when a new player joins a game, the loading freeze is now way less than a second, so it's finally playable on my setup

Quoting: jsa1983I'm suffering the same issue (AMD FX 8370, 16GB DDR3 @1600, Radeon RX480 8GB, mesa git-ish, Kubuntu 16.04 64bit, linux 4.8-rc5) and it seems it is not shader related but rather related to texture uploading.

I got that impression due to three reasons:

1) With max quality textures: (i) there are several long freezes (like 5 seconds long), (ii) usually during the first 30 seconds of the match there are invisible cars(textures probably not loaded yet), (iii) someone joining an ongoing match also results in freezes.

2) Setting texture quality to medium results in less stutter/freeze (probably just like one or two, but shorter).

3) setting lower shader quality with max texture quality in my case results in the same problems.

Are you using max quality textures? Try lowering a notch and see if it works.

I haven't seen many reports in the Steam forum so probably it is (at least partially) related to mesa, not 100% the game's fault.

Turning the texture quality to "High Performance" did help, but as far as I'm concerned, for a high-action game such as this the freezes I'm getting are still making it unplayable. Need to wait for a fix, but until then I'm going to rocketin' on Windows..

Quoting: m2mg2The ca-certificates.crt not being there makes it so that Rocket League cannot contact multiplayer servers, so multiplayer does not work. Some distro's use ca-bundle.crt, which is the same thing with a different name.

If you can see the servers, but just can't join a game you can see you have a different issue. I couldn't tell if you couldn't connect to the servers or if it was something else. A bug between pulseaudio and Rocket League was making my game freeze before the patch. It may be that they fixed my issue with pulseaudio but there are more. The game apparently completely locks up if it can't initialize your audio device (pulseaudio).

Oh yeah. I can join games okay, but for the first ~30s my game is freezing and stuttering, making it unplayable. It also happens when someone new joins a game I'm in, so it seems to be related to loading assets like shaders and such. All the reports I've seen about it have been with Radeon+Mesa, so it might even be a driver issue, rather than RL.

Quoting: m2mg2

Quoting: paasistiUnfortunately this patch didn't seem to fix my loading issues in joining a game or opening menus. Let's see if a reinstall does the trick..

What Distro are you using? Have you looked into the certificate symlink fix for online multiplayer?
sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

For the audio you might try killall pulseaudio before launching. I had audio issues before the patch where I had no audio and the game would freeze unless I did. Doesn't sound like the exact same but may be related.

I'm running Mint 18 with the newest Mesa release.

Didn't think that the certificate issue could be related to this as well, seeing as the game runs totally fine when there's no loading happening. Will give it a shot, though.

Oh, and another thing. When I first started the beta, I was a rank 1 rookie. After playing on Windows and then returning to Linux, I got my rank 18 back with all of its unlocks!
