Xbox menu for accepting and declining friends has been broken since beginning of season. Can’t accept game invites or anything to do with side menu

Thanks for bringing this up -- we've been working on this since the start of S8, and we added some new logging in the background with v2.21 to see if it can help us identify the issue.

What was the bronco hitbox before?

It was Merc when originally released, then a deployment error swapped it to Dominus. We switched it back to Merc this update.

[Update, 4:42pm PDT] Steam download should be ready to rock now. Restart Steam and it should auto-download.

Looks like there's a larger Steam platform issue at the moment. If you're downloading on Steam, hold tight!

WOODY IS ON *THE LIST*

If u want to freestyle go ahead... yall act like the police. It's a game.

There IS nothing wrong with being better than someone, unless you are intentionally tanking your MMR to play against them.

I can't tell if the police remark is pointed at the community at large, or Psyonix. If the latter, well, it is certainly part of our job(s) to ensure fair play.

Hi everyone, over the last couple of days, there’s been a lot of conversation on Reddit and social media around freestylers in Rocket League, and how they approach the game in Casual Playlists. First, we want to express our appreciation for the freestyling community overall. We have worked with many in the freestyling community in the past on fun, engaging tournaments and shows, and we love to watch how creative players can get with mechanics.

However, showing off that mechanical prowess cannot disrupt the Rocket League experience for new or casual players in Rocket League. Intentionally deranking any account, or starting a “smurf” account with a lower rank in order to matchmake against new or lower-skilled players in any Online Playlist goes against the Terms of Use and the ...

lol

That's a lot of hand (bumper?) slappin'!

Hoping this goes as well as possible for you, and we'll be thinking of you!

u/Psyonix_Devin - From all the comments, it looks like this is a more widespread problem than I thought. Wasn't going to bother pinging you when it was just me, but maybe you'd like to follow along now.

Hey there! Appreciate the tag on this. Looking at your original post, I'm not sure there's much we can do if there's an issue with how the ISP is routing your traffic to the data centers we use. I'm wondering if you see this all of the time when playing, or only some of the time. We use several different server providers (including i3D), but if you are seeing this sort of connectivity problem in every match as opposed to only some of the time, then it would likely rule out the server provider/type as the issue.

Hey everyone, popping in to confirm the hitbox change is a bug, and not an intentional change. We'll be changing Bronco back to the Merc hitbox in our next update, and we're adding this to the Known Issues list. Thanks, all!

Ahhh a very Epic! PR friendly answer. Unbelievable.

I'm not PR, all refund requests have to go through the support team, and it's been that way with Rocket League since the beginning. Thanks!

i'm wondering if/when the training pack timing will be fixed so it's like it was before that major patch last season when the changes were introduced and the timing of shots in some training packs got changed or broken...

Some shots may need to be rebuilt by pack creators. This occurs in a very small number of shots across a small number of pack.

So are you going to be providing refunds for those of us who bought the WWE SummerSlam bundle purely for this aesthetic which you changed? Seems only fair. I will literally never use these items ever again and never would have bought them if not for this.

For any questions about refunds, please hit up our support team here. Thanks!

When is the new Hoops map coming out?

I was surprised to not see it at the start of the season

Mid-season!

THE HEA...

Why on earth would y'all intentionally obscure our view? Lmao that's such a boneheaded thing to do. So boneheaded that even you was sure it was a bug at first.

Initially thought it may be bugged because we don't use this on every arena -- it's used on half a dozen maps now. Appreciate the respectful reply, as always!
