Version: Rocket League v2.04

Platforms: Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S

Scheduled Release: 9/14/2021, 4 p.m. PDT / 11 p.m. UTC

CHANGES AND UPDATES

Voice Chat

  • We are temporarily removing voice chat with v2.04. As many of our players know, the current voice chat system is not up to modern standards, making it difficult to use in a fast-paced game environment. We’re also aware that some players experience performance issues when using in-game voice chat -- some sort of mid-match lag or service disruption -- and we do not want voice chat to hinder quality of play.
  • Earlier this summer, we said that we are working on bringing an improved, more comprehensive voice chat system to Rocket League. We are on track to bring voice chat back to the game in early 2022. We’ll share more details once we’re closer to voice chat making a siiick comeback next year.

[PlayStation 5] 120 FPS Support

  • [PlayStation 5] Fixed a bug preventing 120 FPS support on the PS5
  • Players on PS5 can now play at:
    • 4K at 120 FPS without HDR
    • 4K at 60 FPS with HDR
  • To play at 120 FPS, compatible hardware (HDMI 2.1-capable 4K/120 Hz display, HDMI 2.1 cable) is required
  • 120 FPS support also requires the appropriate video settings on your console. To change your Video Quality Settings on your PlayStation 5: 
    • Go to Settings from the PlayStation 5 Home Screen
    • Select Screen and Video
    • Select Video Output
    • Set Enable 120 Hz Output to Automatic
  • HDR is disabled in Rocket League when 120 Hz is enabled. Rocket League will output at 4K at 60 FPS with HDR if Enable 120 Hz Output is set to Off. For more info, check out this PlayStation 5 4K Resolution Guide

Generally, it'll take a few minutes for all of the servers to roll over to the new version. Give it a few and if it this continues let us know

I've got the update, I can queue, and it's all working so far. Just trying to be positive in this thread! The performance/quality setting is not longer there though, does it default to the appropriate settings based on the console settings?

Edit: HDR settings are gone as well, but friend still has HDR settings despite same console settings

You're playing on PS5, yeah? If so, defaults to console setting, yes.

Hey, is this still an issue for you?

We're adding voice chat back while the game is running on UE3. Right now this is scheduled for Season 6 (subject to change, but that's the current target).

Reporting again because do not see any of these addressed in fixes or on your list of known issues.......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Numerous Bugs on XBOX

  • Soft Edge makes a painted Chikara look unpainted
  • On Tyranno Ombre, theres a flaw in the shading just under the front of the door window that is more evident depending on the colors/paint finishes used
  • Common decals turn a TW Samurai into looking unpainted (could be other colors too, but I can only test on TW)
  • The front end parts of painted Tyrannos are not showing said painted parts as well as used to and there is also a part showing up as unpainted
  • There are some flaws in the flames of a R3MX on both side door panels
  • Lightspeed trail can appear as the boost at times in the in-game goal replay. Happened to other trails too, but can't recall them right now. There is a chance it only happens to Tyranno, but hard to recall exactly
  • The announcer's voice stopped working on my Grand Slam GE in games
  • Sound for my Season 8 boost went out mid-game and didn't return
  • Often times the music will stop playing for some unknown reason
  • Stonebank - Keep up the Pace should be in the MonsterCat 2021 playlist, but its not
  • Sk8ter wheels on a Dominus are way above the ground in lobby
  • Using select to switch accounts on XBOX can sometimes keep game from loading completely and then a restart is needed
  • Crystal ball needs to be aligned lower on numerous cars
  • System auto tabs past target in numerous situations. Most annoying are in selecting presets, settings, designing (in this case can tab all the way over and then not allow for tab movement at all)
  • Game chat and typing in custom search can get laggy. Sometimes so laggy, it will fully crash the XBOX. Had 1/2 dozen crashes on my own on 2 different accts. Was told happens to others too
  • Sometimes I cannot see other players replies in our game party chat. No rhyme or reason as to when it happens
  • Item shop didnt refresh the daily items until after a game reboot
  • The coloring on the back fender of Yonders Fleece decal is wrong
  • Servers seem worse
  • Tournament region preferences sometimes changes for no reason
  • Need to reboot game sometimes for a trade due to your friend list not updating
  • Frame rate drops on Forbidden Temple dawn
  • Does thumbs down on Arena selecting even work? I try to avoid certain ones, but it seems they come up more often than others
  • Many wheels do not rotate correctly in game
  • Premium items from DLC (like DC Comics, MLB) will not stay favorited or archived. The latter of which can clog up an inventory making more prone to tab over trouble listed above
  • Premium banners will always unequip between logins
  • Long ago when DLC was sold, we were told can work on all accounts. They did, but they are not changing to Legacy for each account and making items remain Premium. When that happens, the Premium bugs above happen
  • Why are there 2 different Flash wheels in my inventory? 1 is my original pair with all mileage accrued, the other has no mileage at all
  • I was given tradeable versions of Slimer and the Ghostbusters banner. When that happened, my premium versions from my purchased DLC disappeared
  • Even though the XBOX Customization file is saved from originally downloaded, its items do not show up
  • The game only recognizes DLC on the partition of a Hard Drive it first noticed (or for some other reason they aren't recognized when the External Hard Drive is off even though the files kept on both Internal and External)
  • Certain toppers render smaller on the Battlebus. I didn't test them all as not all available, but what I noticed were: Jester, Bunny Ears, Slimer, Jack in the Box, Octopus

Since listed so many, adding tags to devs to increase odds of things being seen: u/Psyonix_Ted u/Psyonix_Devin u/dirkened

Hey! Thanks for bringing these to my attention.

You definitely have some things in this list that can be addressed but some of the items such as "Servers Seem Worse" aren't something we can add to the Known Issues list, in addition, some of these items are quite granular and non-actionable. I'll take some time to chat with our bug team and see what items we can take some action on.

Nah. In this particular instance, they just seemed bummed out and probably were worried about their game being broken, so I replied to allay their worries.

I'm not the author of that comment, but there are definitely some problems in tournaments lately. Sometimes game just stucks in an infinite "Joining" and only restart can help. Sometimes it happen not to me, but to teammates or opponents, cause they join in the middle of the match (or don't join at all). It doesn't happen every time, but definitely too often to be in a high priority to fix it. It's very annoying to find out over and over again that you or your teammates can't join the match, so it's a high chance that your tournament will end there.

If you're on a PC the next time this happens, would you be able to send me a game log? I definitely want to make sure that we're on top of this.

Hi /u/Psyonix_Devin and /u/Psyonix_Ted, appreciate the update and your communication. Is Psyonix currently working on HDR support with 120fps at 4K on the PS5? Or is this not feasible given the console’s limitations? Thanks!

Investigating but not sure it's possible at the moment.
