Rocket League Dev Tracker

Hi everyone! It’s been a whirlwind few days for us at the studio, and we want to thank everyone for sharing awesome goals and tournament wins (and helping us ID some bugs as well) since our transition to free to play.

First up, we’re finalizing a hotfix for release next week, and it includes stability fixes that should address the crashing and stuttering players are experiencing on several platforms. Keep an eye on our Twitter for a release date and time.

We’ve seen a few topics gain momentum on the sub over the last few days, including questions about how much XP you can earn in matches. We decided to shift some XP gains from "passive" to "active" in the form of more Challenges because we want them to be a bigger part of your seasonal progression. Second, because the game is now Free to Play, we need to curb the incentive to bot/afk farm on alternate accounts. The amount of passive XP that was previously earned combined with our new Drops system would have made for...

I looked through my messages and for some reason, I don't see a DM or reply from you. Do you mind sending it again? Sorry about that.

edit: It is a known issue that large friends lists are causing issues with in-game performance and in some cases, it may crash your console. This is being actively investigated and we are working on getting a solution out as soon as we can.

many people are joining into empty lobbies in ranked, like 3v0, in ALL ranked gamemodes

Yes, we are actively investigating this issue though we don't have an ETA for a fix yet.

Thanks for the report, though!

Hey guys, this is a known issue that is usually caused when an account has a large number of friends (hundreds, usually).

The current workaround is to set your status to offline. If you're on console, this may not work, however, you can try removing pending friend requests to mitigate the issue too.

If you're able to clear your local save data, it should resolve this issue.

IF it doesn't, please let me know your GamerTag so I can take a look at your account.

Thanks

Youngest Supersonic Legend, here we come!

Hey all,

We are aware of the issues preventing players from connecting to PsyNet and Epic Online Services.

We are currently investigating and will hopefully have an update soon.

Thanks for your patience!

Bot Difficulty is already supposed to scale with the MMR of the lobby. You shouldn't see no boost bots unless you're at very low casual MMR. This may be a bug, I will pass this along for investigation.

It's definitely in the grey area. There are only so many Challenges we can make in Rocket League. Score Goals is right on the line, Aerial Goals is over it. Our expectation when we first rolled out Challenges in Rocket Pass is if we saw behavior start to deviate based on specific challenges (like "Score Goals"), we'd stop running those. So far we haven't seen it happen, but if it changes we'll change it.

did you consider adding another source of challenges to make gameplay more rewarding? I understand there’s season challenges but those don’t seem like a challenge that I will get on the game and do, but more of a passive task. Since the XP value has changed so much, I feel like we would need some sort of daily task that rewards XP.

We are keeping an eye on Challenge length & XP balance and will make adjustments. Mentally, are you thinking you need an in-between that's harder than the Weeklies, but less long-term than the Seasonals?

Hi guys, we're looking into where this knowledge base article came from and why it's written this way. So please don't get the pitchforks out just yet.

Psyonix's position has not changed with regards to Rocket League. This article still represents it: https://support.rocketleague.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054229254-Can-I-use-Third-Party-Mods-with-Rocket-League-

We do not officially support the use of third-party software. Any inappropriate use of these applications, such as gaining an unfair advantage in-game, may lead to disciplinary actions.

edit: Fixed link, thank you heroic commenters for pointing out the relocated KB article. The URL changed when it got updated to be even more clear than before.

The key words in that thread are Daily and Aerial Goals. There is nuance involved.

We still do not have Daily Challenges. We give you a week to complete the Weekly Challenges so you have a seven day window to complete them and get those XP bonuses and items. We do have a Daily Win bonus now, but it is relatively small and doesn't feel bad to "miss out" on.

We try to avoid Challenges that encourage behavior in online play that is unusual. "Score Aerial Goals" might incentivize you to pass up an easy shot to make sure it's an Aerial Goal. However, a broader Challenge like "Score 5 Goals In Online Matches" isn't really a problem because scoring goals generally is a good thing for you and your team.

All that said, my personal position has absolutely changed since 2015 when we launched the game! One thing you encounter daily working on a game as big as Rocket League is that there are so many types of pla...

Let's go! Nice work :D

Hey there, we recommend that players set their status to offline to prevent stuttering issues like this.

Until we have a fix in place, this is likely the best work around.
