Decals on the default Mudcat GXT Car Body now tied to Accent Color in Paint Finish

Does this mean what I think it means? Those stock decal elements are no longer stuck at green-yellow?

I had a glitch, before this update, that I don’t see posted as fixed.

Sometimes after a game, the UI would not show up. No menu. Couldn’t get back to home screen unless I waited 60 seconds.

Are you aware of that?

Let me know if this persists after today's update.

Thanks for the report. This should be resolved now.

Can we have an option to disable quick play button to not erroneously end up unintended gametypes? /u/psyonix_devin /u/dirkened

It may just take time to adjust, but the shortcut is a bigger problem for us slow types

Probably best to give it some time and adjust? We're one day removed from the addition of the button.

This is fair, and I always appreciate the support you guys have for rocket league, I guess I'm confused by saving a single button press, but the tradeoff is that we don't see what gametypes we're searching for?

Maybe somewhere on the screen that always shows what games will be queued?

Not to be nitpicking, just seems like an odd choice for efficiency that ends up with me having to cancel search, then do it again, or ending up in the wrong game.

When you use the Quick Play button, it shows you what you're searching for in the Matchmaking window that appears in the upper-right corner.

EDIT: But I see that it does not call out if you're searching Casual or Competitive, so I can get into that.

One thing I’ve noticed could be more useful is if the quick play button was added in the post-game menu(for competitive) u/Psyonix_Devin

Thanks for the suggestion!
