sys info
OS: windows 11
rlbot: 1.67.3
bakkesmod: disabled
scenario
- I installed the Epic games version and added it to steam as a 3rd party game.
- trying to launch RLBot with epic version works like a charm.
- trying to launch RLBot through steam, doesn't work.
troubleshooting
setup manager tries to launch the Steam version of RL, which i don't have instead of the local path RL installed by Epic.
class ROCKET_LEAGUE_PROCESS_INFO:
GAMEID = 252950
gameid is the RL identifier on Steam
2023-04-20 11:00:41,706 INFO:rlbot[ setup_manager.py:273 - launch_rocket_league_with_steam() ] Launching Rocket League with: ['c:\\program files (x86)\\steam\\steam.exe', '-applaunch', '252950', '-rlbot', 'RLBot_ControllerURL=127.0.0.1:23233', 'RLBot_PacketSendRate=240', '-nomovie']
Reason to run it this way
I use a PS5 dual sense controller, which is recognized by Steam but not by Epic
But I don't know if it's possible to start steam and launch a third party app.
Possible workaround
Install DS4Windows, would be the easy fix, but i prefer to install as little programs as possible, but understand if this gets closed as a "won't do"
steps to reproduce
- install Epic RL version
- add RL as 3rd party game to steam
- install rlbot
- start rlbot using steam
