I'm really disappointed to see demolitions not addressed in this patch. Not only are they not fixed, they simply aren't mentioned either here or in the known issues. People shouldn't be punished for when they join the game. Any update on this u/Psyonix_Devin?

We fixed it, just didn't make it into the patch notes. It's been added.

Hi!

What about the PS4 issue relating increased ping spikes after explosions or special prompts (like "Epic Save!") + freezing the game, resulting in bans? That started when the Radical Summer was implemented, and didn't end with the next patch. It never happened to me before, and it happens daily (at least until yesterday).

I've read that you were working on it weeks ago, but didn't see the note.

On PS4 and PS4 Pro crashing: We believed we had a fix for this in our last update, and the number of reports we received about crashing on the platform dramatically decreased after that update.

It sounds like you and others are still having freeze/crash issues, though, so I'll make sure we're following up on it.

Thank you, man! When you say 'last update', do you mean today's update or the patch after Radical Summer?

Last update meaning July of this year. Any info you have on this that you would like to DM me, fire away!

Btw, if you need any specifics from the console, some type of video, or whatever, tell me and I can help documenting it. I just know when it tends to happen, and some actions that didnt solve it.

Sure thing, just DM me links and follow the GIF.video instructions in this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/cw7fgl/the_v166_season_12_update_release_megathread/ey8yf6y/
