Upgrading the technology that powers Rocket League, including a move to UE5, is something we are actively working on. This is a long-term project for us, and we'll share more details when we're ready to show our players what's coming next.

Hey folks! This is a known issue we're aware of. You can check out the known issues list here, and it's linked in the subreddit sidebar as well.

This is not fixed in today's update, but we're hoping to have it fixed in our next planned update.

Testing connectivity/stability on sh*t isp

You shouldn't be doing this in an Online Match to begin with. If you really need to test, do it in a Private Match. Testing your connection and leaving teammates holding the bag is detrimental to quality of play.

Accomplishes plenty if you lose access to all of your items, stats, and similar. We'll be on the lookout for the new one, too. Appreciate the supportive comment! :)

No, but when people brag about bans on Reddit or similar, I get curious.

We do both! "Engaged" for engaged couples, and then we switch it over once they tie the knot.

We can be a bit selective with these titles. We've had people reach out directly without any sort of story. We've also turned some folks away for...less than stellar in-game behavior records.

We both know you didn't, but using sexual slurs has dinged your account twice now.

EDIT: How do I know? There aren't many 'FatPizzaMatt ' accounts playing Rocket League, believe it or not. :)

That's how it goes when it's hate speech (see my stickied comment.)

Nope! Not how this works. Happy Cake Day, Cake Day pal. :)

You didn't. You got banned for the racial slur you dropped in the same match as the fourth line.

Enjoy the upvotes, though. :)

Hello! Sorry to see you're going through this.

Please correct me if I am mistaken: Reading your post and some of your comments, it sounds like:

  • You can play RL on PC, Xbox, and Switch
  • You have connectivity issues playing on PC (lag + d/cing from matches)
  • And there are no connectivity issues playing on Xbox and Switch?
    • Or do you have the same connection issues when playing on all three platforms?

Keep it up! These renders are A+ :D

Thanks for ruining the mode for me. Playing since 2015, and this is just another update to play even less. Now I'm down to solely play with friends (when around) because I am forced to get mad at randoms. Your matchmaking is borderline bonkers and you know that! What's the difference to playing ranked now? Only that your rank isn't shown?

The whole change doesn't make sense, esp combined with the backfill change. You basically promote the idea that a 3 goal difference equals a lost game. Why?

I have honestly no idea what you're trying to fix. People getting mad about not being able to stomp with premade teams on randoms properly because they're quitting too fast? Those people should play ranked in the first place.

I guess in the end it's your loss. I'm only playing the game less and am even less inclined to throw money at you. Still going to enjoy ranked until you mess that up as well. If you don't want me as a player, ok. This is not the last game in my lif...

Also, whats with the audacity of that statement? "once everybody has a feel for it"

A lot of the reactions to this change came in before the update was available. Once players had a chance to see the change in action, feelings could change, which has been the case with not all, but some.

Thanks for nothing, Devin. Have a NICE cakeday.

Thanks! :)

I mean calling him a shill is kinda extreme imo. It’s part of his job to protect the community/keep the community happy, but it’s also part of his job to protect the company. I think a lot of the responses he’s been giving here have been poor, but by no means do I think he’s not the original owner. At the end of the day psyonix/epic is paying his salary. He can’t just slag off the company and expect to have a job. Even if he didn’t agree with what the company is doing, he has to defend them to an extent.

Given that you referred to yourself as a CM/SMM in another post, it is surprising that you whiffed on the job description here.

Nice to see your descent into nothing more than a shill. Glad to see you've completely sold out. Your responses are absolutely laughable. Good chance you aren't even the original owner of that account.

Definitely the funniest take so far. Pretty sure I've been Devin this whole time? Although some do call me Devon, Devan, etc.

Come on, man. The majority of this update just screams a lack of transparency and a disconnect between the developers and the majority of the player base. I'm sorry to come across sarcastic but it's frustrating just seeing changes pushed through that make little to no sense and criticism from your most dedicated players just falls on deaf ears.

Casual is now a complete mess and toxicity fest that competitive is.

What about those that have other commitments? Rocket League is one of a very few games where you can dip in and out of for short intervals and especially in casual being able to disappear when you needed to. Are you not in any way concerned that a large portion of your player base may be parents etc that will stop returning to the game after persistent bans? Or even before you get to that point, what about the idiots that'll just sit there refusing to move or tapping a trigger every now and again because the rest of you won't forfeit? Or the morons own goali...

The majority of this update just screams a lack of transparency and a disconnect between the developers and the majority of the player base.

The streamer safe music option, improvements to p2p trading, undersized party rank restrictions, improved game ban messaging, and addition of 2v2 and Extra Mode tournaments scream lack of transparency to you?

As I mentioned a few weeks back, I do think we need to change up how we talk about upcoming plans and features, but everything I just mentioned above has a direct connection to request...
