I haven't played for 10 days hoping that they will fix some stuff in the meantime, but the game is still a mess on the PS4. Lag, ranks are messed up, spectator mode... At least the menus are sliglty quicker.

hopefully the server updates will help in that regard:

ROCKET LEAGUE SERVER PERFORMANCE UPDATE


Hi everyone, today we wanted to provide an update on our servers and server performance. This should fill in the basics of what's happened over the last few weeks, how we are handling it, and steps we're taking to prevent these issues from happening again.

(Note: To better understand what's below: A server is the physical metal box in the datacenter that hosts several dozen server instances. A server instance is the "server" you play on during an Online or Unranked Match, represented by a name seen in the upper-left corner of your game when playing online -- USW734438, USW101-Aftershock, etc.)

After the Tournaments Update was released on April 3, we started seeing a bug that was causing several performance issues in both your game client -- the stuttering you may have seen when opening the Playlist Menu, for example -- and our servers. We fixed the bug in last Thursday's v1.44 Hotfix -- "Fixed an issue that caused stuttering in the game client when secure TCP sockets are closed down" -- but the change allowed a new server-side software issue to surface.

This software issue, which appears to be unique to one of our server providers, was preventing the normal server instance restarts that happen either 1) on a timer, typically every 1-2 days, or 2) when a server instance hits certain triggers, like using too much of the server's memory. With the automatic restarts not working properly, the servers took a sharp performance nosedive, leading to "lag" even when your ping was low, and poor performance for all players in a match regardless of their location or platform.

Over the last few days, we have upgraded both the operating system and the control panel software on every single server we have with this provider. 99% of these software upgrades will be complete by the time you read this post today. These upgrades fix the software bug and also give us the level of control we need to better pinpoint and address issues as they come up. The server reboots associated with these upgrades give us a fresh perspective on the server instance data we're collecting from them. We're also looking into server hardware replacements in some regions, which will take several weeks to complete and should be seamless in regards to server access. While we are confident in these updates and changes we've made over the last few days, we are continuing to monitor server performance and will take additional action when needed.

Server issues like these are something we never want to see or have our community experience. It's not fair to you and "fix your servers," is not something we want Rocket League to be known for. We apologize for the disruption, and we appreciate everyone for sticking with us and being patient while we've worked through the problem. This is something we absolutely take to heart; it's a top priority at the studio and has been for the last few weeks. Our affected server provider has been working with us around the clock to implement these software and hardware upgrades, and we have an internal group comprised of Infrastructure, Engineering, Analytics, Production and Community team members tracking this very closely. This group is also looking at the new expanded server data we started collecting shortly before the Tournaments Update went live and we hope that this new information will help us better track down and resolve server reports we previously couldn't confirm.

If you continue to experience issues while playing online, please let us know through our support team atsupport.rocketleague.com or via @RL_Support on Twitter -- and we will take any details you can provide to inform any changes or additional fixes we need to make. Thanks, all!

in the past few weeks, in almost every match there's at least one mate who plays like it's his first game ever. on platinum/diamond, this shit is unacceptable.

i can't feel like this for a game, every time i play i know i'm gonna go furious yet i keep coming back because i'm hooked to the game. I'm seriously considering to uninstall it altogether, i'm giving it a last chance this week

Just make yourself a drink and take a shot every time you tilt. Repeat until it's chill or until you're too wasted to play.

Lol there's some small joy having a teammate curse you out because you're having a bad game and you don't really care because you play for fun. I do enjoy the rage.

Especially in casual, I mean I get pissed when I have bad teammates or they miss easy shots, but I keep that anger off the chat. Just yesterday I had a guy who was bitching after every single miss/goal (mind you he was a ball chaser who played zero defense) and he rage quit before the game even ended.

How did everyone do with fan rewards over the weekend? Managed to get Ballistic, EQ (Striker certified), and two Winning Streaks. Been stockpiling items for a while now hoping there would be something I want to trade for, but even that new crate has nothing for me.

Think I got about 4 drops this weekend, two of which I still need to boot the game up and find out what they are!
Can't seem to get the ballistic celebration or any wheels to drop for the life of me, but I have two winning streaks and about 3 dune racer decals so far.

Works on every platform. Also another code you can use is 'wrestlemania' and get wrestling items.

The amount of bots in this game atm is crazy. Just played a team that were all bots and one more on our team, just the two of us were real.

Hey,

I started to play not long ago and I have some questions:

1- If I bought the 89 Batmobile, the people in other platforms will see it? I know the mario car and stuff won't appear for legal reasons.

2- If I use a normal car with the mario hat on top, the players on other platform will see the car the same way I made it except for the hat?

3- Is there a way to differentiate between Xbox and PC players by the "PSY NET"?

4- A Steam PC player gets paired with PS4 Players? What about the Xbox-switch players? The PC player have to choose between one or the other?

1. Yes all licensed stuff aside from console exclusives can be seen by every platform.

2. Yes. Will probably just replace the hat with something standard.

3. No. Everyone not of your platform shows Psynet. name are probabaly a giveaway since pretty much anything goes on Steam and consoles have a more strict naming policy.

4. PC, Xbox and Switch can all play together in the same matchmaking pool. PC and PS4 can play with each other as well. You can only choose to crossplay on/off but you can't choose specifically what platforms you get matched with.

Haven't played this much at all recently. Decided to do my placement matches and landed in diamond 2. I'm pretty happy with that!

I'm having some big problems with the game though now too. My ping used to hover around 8-12 on a good server and 24 on a bad one. Now it's never stable and wavers around 50-100 with frequent connection issues popping up.

I had a really odd match last night. Playing ranked some dude accused me of ball chasing and since I've not been playing much I figure I'll be extra observant on my rotations. I made sure I was only applying pressure when I'm the closest to the ball and am the one covering the pitch where they're trying pressure.

Literally every time I got a second touch on the ball this guy was accusing me of ball chasing even when that second touch was a pass out of a bounce dribble. I got so damn confused I went to goal and instantly noticed both guys on my team were rolling back for mid boost and agressing again never once moving to the third position.

Has rotation changed or something? There was no complaints in any other matches but this confused the crap out of me

Nope. People call foul about rotate when they can't themselves ball chase. This is how platinum and gold has been for over a year at least. Lol

Basically, they don't know what rotation is. Ignore 90% of those comments.

Been awhile since I posted a new car. Wanted to try out mantis for a bit and got a white one now that they are pretty cheap. This one is using black Dieci wheels, Painted White Widow's Web decal and White Ion boost.

I can rotate with a plat fine. It's just most gcs don't know rotations, let alone plats, sooo...yeahh, you can still play around it.

I've been banned for 5 minutes two days in a row now for being DC'd from matches where when I try to rejoin it doesn't rejoin. How the hell is that my fault that I should receive a 5 min ban? Never had this happen and I've been playing this game since day one.

Competitive gets so frustrating. I'm not an amazing player but the amount of people who miss every single easy shot that is rolling slowly towards them is unbelievable.

Solo queue is worse than smoking, probably lost years off my life getting frustrated at players just chasing the ball not playing positions.
Worst is when you have a perfect shot, but there's a teammate that wants to touch the ball at any cost, even on D, making crosses for the other team. :|

It's fun when you get a good team together though, even if you lose.

Hello Rocket Era. Anyone looking for a Doubles partner (or standard) please friend me on PS4. I hover around D2 and D3 at the moment but am looking to play with anyone. So tired of playing with randos.

Decided to grab another new car. Went with the TW Samurai since I'm destined to never get the TW Octane and that price is too high for me.

Like it but it feels a little odd too. Feels like any other paddle car but I'm getting a lot of misread hits where I'm pushing the ball much higher then expected. Otherwise I think I like this one a lot. Getting nice flicks from it and it feels like a bigger breakout to me.
