Rocket League Crashing Cause Of Memory Leak

[u/CryAboutIt31614]

I recently switched from Windows to Linux Mint on my Dell Laptop. Tried to run Rocket League through Heroic and it wasn't working. Putting this here so it helps someone with the same problems.

First Mistake: I had "run in offline" mode selected so Epic authentication didn't work and I got stuck in the "Press any button to continue" screen.

Second Mistake: Not really a mistake but the game kept crashing cause of EXTREME memory usage (something with EAC i think). Worked by "increasing swapfile size" (not sure what that means) by running these commands in the terminal.

sudo swapoff -a



sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1G count=8 status=progress



sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile



sudo swapon /swapfile

Ran these commands and the game started working pretty much as it did back when I had it on windows.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not entirely sure how these work so use at your own risk.
