[2020] DirectX 11 Experimental Client

Hi everyone! Starting today, players on PC running Windows can try our new, experimental DirectX 11 client. We want to test the new client with you so we can gather as much feedback as possible before turning the client on for all players later this year.

If all goes well, you shouldn’t notice any difference in appearance or gameplay when using this experimental client, but we definitely want to hear from you if you notice any changes or issues.

Here’s how you can opt into the experimental client:

• Open Steam
• Right-click Rocket League, select Properties
• Choose Select Launch Options under the General tab
• Paste in -dx11, select OK
• Start Rocket League
• To opt back out, remove -dx11 from the Select Launch Options window, and select OK

NOTE: If you are running any third-party mods, we recommend that you disable them while running this experimental client until the mod creators release the appropriate updates.

Due to the experimental nature of this build, we do have a few known issues, including:

• Some items have graphical corruptions when booting the game on DirectX 11 with an AMD graphics card
• V-Sync may not function properly -- won't force vertical sync when set to ON
• Loss of focus when booted in fullscreen on a 4K monitor when other monitors are enabled at a lower resolution

Finally, anyone running the minimum spec (or better) detailed below should have no trouble running this experimental client:

• Operating System: Windows 7 (64-bit) or newer (64-bit) Windows OS
• Processor: 2.5 GHz Dual-Core
• Memory: 4 GB RAM
• Graphics Card: NVIDIA 700 Series or better

If you’re checking out the new client and have any bugs or issues to share different than the ones listed above, please let us know in the comments below. You can also let our Customer Care team know, or drop feedback in our official Discord.
