Rocket League Dev Tracker

The term is actually an industry one.

Numerous games before us have employed an HDR mixing structure with great success. Most noteably would be the work done by DICE. It is these games and many others that paved the way for Rocket League. Typically this type of iteration happens before a game ships, but the HDR system was popularized after Rocket League's launch. Once HDR came out, we saw an opportunity to improve Rocket League!

Of course! Any large feature has that kind of potential. We have tested this thoroughly and have done everything in our power to receive feedback and iterate. That being said, once going to a live environment with millions of games happening, you can't account for everything and we will likely find bugs. But we will fix them quickly and hopefully keep you playing with sound! Be sure to give us feedback once it goes live, I promise we will read all of it and use your input to keep making Rocket League better.

I apologize that our post didn’t do a good job of communicating our intent. Our main focus is on making the game cleaner. Right now the audio is fairly muddy and not useful. Rocket League is a 'fishbowl'esk physics game, so we have little control over how the player utilizes it. This new mix takes advantage of priorities to help carve away space.

While it seems that HDR is less realistic (and in some ways it is) the ending effect is an attempt to achieve more realism by increasing the perceivable dynamic range of the audio in the game. This system was spearheaded by DICE in wonderful sounding games such as Battlefield: Bad Company and Battlefield 3.

Here are a few quotes and some sources that will hopefully help explain the system better.

" In HDR audio, you can assign volume values to sounds of the game's virtual world that span over a much larger dynamic range than the standard 96 dB of 16-bit output devices, much like they would in the ...

Hey there, I wanted to clear up any confusion here. We do not filter either of these phrases, however, some platforms do have their own filtering services. Unfortunately, we do not have control over what they decide to filter.

There are just 10 seconds left in a tied game. Your teammate has possession, and passes it your way from the wall. You place the shot above the backboard where your opponent can't reach it, launch your car into the air with your remaining boost and follow up the backboard shot with a perfectly placed goal. The Goal Explosion ignites as time expires. The exhilaration is nearly tangible. But meanwhile, there are hundreds of sound effects occurring inside the game that supplement all the excitement of the moment: the siren, the announcer, the crowd, and that only scratches the surface. In moments like this, it may be easy to overlook the sound of Rocket League, but these sounds are an essential part of the experience.

The audio team at Psyonix works tirelessly on the sounds within these moments so Rocket League is able to achieve maximum levels of hy...

Well done!

Hey guys, there was a brief disruption of PsyNet that caused login and matchmaking issues. While this only lasted a short duration, it did have a noticeable impact.

Thanks everyone for your patience.

Current plan is to keep the same behavior for RP "funds" as it is on live

We fully expect items currently obtainable in crates to be obtainable via the new systems we roll out in the future.

For changing Keys specifically, we will make Rocket Pass use the same currency system as whatever Keys "become", so you would still have the same value (~10 keys = 1 RP Premium Upgrade) in your account before and after the change.

We can't speak to details just yet, but making "Keys" - or whatever replaces them - untradable would be very damaging to the trade economy, and doesn't meaningfully satisfy our company goals around removing random purchases. Take from that what you will.

This assumes that new cars are automatically offered for sale to all users, but we have not shared details on the replacement system yet.

If the opportunity to buy the new car came as a random drop like receiving a crate and opening it, that "drop" would still have trade value.

It is safe to assume that you will not be able to get a guaranteed Black Market Decal for 1 Key.

If crates are no longer in the game, what is the use of keys? And will they end up getting removed as well?

Keys will still be sold while the Crate system remains in-game. After the Crate system is removed, the value of any remaining keys in a player’s inventory will be honored. We’ll have more information in the coming months.

What does this mean for existing crates in inventory - will they remain in inventory to open and / or trade?

Crates will remain in your inventory until we roll out changes. At that time, any Crates you still possess will be replaced with a usable alternative. We'll have more information on that in the coming months.

Crates Leaving Rocket League Later This Year

Here at Psyonix, ...

Hey guys, just want to let you all know that we made some adjustments to the servers in order to resolve the performance issues that were seen in some USE servers.

While performance should be back in order, please let us know if you continue to see the same issues pop up.

Thanks for your patience!

IIUC, this occurs when playing on the same platform as the other player, you would need to send a friend request through the platform's friend system.

Because if you didn't submit a ticket, we 1) wouldn't have an efficient way of knowing you didn't receive the right number of codes, and 2) we wouldn't be able to send you additional item codes.

Assuming this is on Steam, were you manually typing the code in, or did you copy-pasta the code?
