[2020] September Update Follow-Up

Hi everyone, it’s been a busy few days for us with releasing the September Update, preparing for free to play next week, and kicking off our competitive tournaments test today. We’ve also been poring over your feedback on the sub, social, and our Discord server. Here’s what we’re working on:

• User Interface: We’ve seen the feedback about the UI changes we included in the September Update, and we’re making the following changes as part of a hotfix that should release early next week:
  • The Play Menu now correctly remembers your last searched mode to make repeat navigation easier
  • Searching for a game from anywhere but the Main Menu (like Free Play or Postgame Lobby) no longer requires multiple Back button presses to exit. The screen will now close when you search.
• We are discussing the following feedback topics:
  • Quick Play functionality. The Play menu remembering last search makes it easier to quickly re-queue with controllers, but we will continue discussing “one button queue” solutions.
  • Further reducing button presses required to access Matchmaking and other features in tandem
• Next week’s hotfix will also address several bugs, including issues with PS4 and Switch Pro controllers on PC, and visual issues on Mannfield and Farmstead. We’re working on fixes for items on our Known Issues list that may not make it into this hotfix, and we will address those as soon as we can.
• Some players are experiencing frame drops or stuttering after the September Update. We are still investigating a fix.
  • PC players can set their status to “Offline” via the Steam Friends List as a workaround.
  • If you’re experiencing this on console, please open a ticket with our Customer Care team.
• Finally, for anyone who still has missing items on some platforms after the update: Please make sure you boot up Rocket League on every platform you have linked to your Epic Games Account, and that should help populate anything you’re looking for.

Thank you all for your feedback on here as well as your patience as we work through some of these hurdles, and we hope you have a chance to hop into some of the tournaments running today -- if you do, let us know what you think on here or in Discord.
