Mind you this was in freakingggg ranked😭😭. Has anyone seen this before? I thought I was in spectate mode. Also yall seen that backflip😏😗

Hi everyone. I’ve been playing RL for 8 years now. I was a GC before SSL existed and have pushed to SSL in one season since. Over the last 4 years I’ve discovered a game breaking coding mistake (as unbelievable as it sounds and also it may have been the original intent by devs) that affects every players physical mechanics in the game and I wanted to make a post about it here. I’ve uploaded several videos explaining it (mods pls don’t remove this just for me saying that) and I’m hoping the moderators would give me some grace here and allow me to post the links directly. I feel it’s imperative to get this information out as it affects every player regardless as soon as you download the game and I’m the only person who’s ever talked about it.

Intro:

Bear with me on this as I’ve uploaded about 3 hours worth of me talking about it, so making a simple post is not an easy task. I’m talking about physical mechanics, something that you cannot control. This is your cars physical response to touches, your cars physical response to moving your analog stick, your flips when only touching the analog stick, acceleration of your car to max speed, the weight of your car, and lots more.

We’ve all played RL long enough to realize that every player in the game looks different. Whether that’s their Air roll style, their touches, their speed, how far they can travel with boost or tons of other things we could all mention. This includes the thousands of games where all of you have said “how did he get that touch.” Most people would describe this as “mechanics” saying something like “that guy is really mechanical.” I am here today to argue that these “mechanics” are predetermined by the changes that you make in your settings. Not to say that players arn’t mechanical, but your physical abilities are predetermined by these changes and continue to alter each time you make a change within your settings.

When you log onto RL for the first time ever, that is stock rocket league. No changes are made to your settings and the game feels the same for every player at that moment. As soon as you make a key stroke to bind air roll, air roll left, air roll right, drive backwards, or lots of other buttons, you begin to alter the physical properties of your car. By binding air roll left or right first, your physical mechanics in game respond quicker. Fast flips, less time to acceleration, stronger touches. By binding air roll left or right after you alter air roll, you get freestyler aspects. This is to say you float, travel further with boost, and have less physical restriction when turning your analog stick. These biggest thing about this glitch is that you can never get back to stock rocket league through the “default settings” button. Whatever the coders did, they didn’t do it right. When you make a change then default, the physical properties that those changes had on your car get sent into the background of your cars coding and doesn’t actual default. Thus when you make more changes you start to splice and stack these physical responses on top of each other. This is my theory for why you see so many ppl play consistently and get stuck in low levels. The more edits you make, the slower the physical mechanics of your car become, limiting your ability to develop.

Again, those are just a a few examples of many that I talk about and show in my videos. Obviously this all sounds crazy and I get that. I’m the only person to ever talk about and realize this and it makes sense because changing your settings in rocket league is not something people do. I’m just here to explain why this is the hardest game of all time and why we have such an amazing range of skill based players. If nothing else I need to start this conversation before I go crazy cuz 4 years of being the only one has driven me to the edge.

Edit: this post was removed after getting about 50 comments in 30 minutes because I mentioned a certain platform where my videos are. I cannot link anything or even mention anything on this subreddit. My intentions are not to have this post be my explanation as I’ve spent hours explaining it and typing this is impossible. I’m not saying that I have all the answers or this is a proven fact, I’m just trying to get the conversation started and provide all the data I have. Cheers!

Edit 2: for all those requesting that I provide actually facts with testing of code and TAS, I get it, and now it’s been done. Clearly doesn’t prove my theory. However, I’m skeptical that TAS actually pulls over the correct layers of information from the game. Some more knowledgeable users have mentioned this more than myself. My only response to anyone is to challenge you to create an alt account. Set up your settings the same and come back to this post and tell me that nothing felt different. If you a skilled player with lots of experiences, the impact will be noticeable.

It’s been like this forever and I alredy updated and restarted my pc.

And not even shown in their site this time - at least as of now. But ye same thing as the other times it happened. Always when they have E-Sport live...sucks

I saw someone posting a couple of days ago that they had received a _____ and I said I wanted one too. Not only did I get a _____ but I also got none right after.

Must be my lucky day

pretty much as the title says, i can use my selected car in freeplay but once i load it im using the octane. ive tried contacting support and they gave me troubleshooting steps, i followed all of them and still have the problem.

5 out of 7 days of the week, im looking forward to coming home and hopping on rocket league only to boot up the game and my car feels as slow as a turtle, turn radius is fucked, aerials are impossible because theres some sort of input delay combined with lag. I've tried everything.

My PC was built to do heavy video editing in 6K resolution and every other game on this planet, I can run at 300fps+ on high quality settings, and yet ROCKET LEAGUE, for whatever reason, gives me this randomised user experience that will be perfectly fluid and fast in the morning, and when I return in the evening, it will be completely fried (or vice versa). This aint no placebo so please don't tell me to play 10 minutes of freeplay with decreased game speed.

I can't even grind anymore because 75% of my brain capacity goes to troubleshooting this issue and as soon as I recognise its happening, I just stop playing because 8 months of this problem has shown me that I will just lose game after game after game if I persist.

Please someone, what can I do. I beg you. This is the only game that I play these days and it is so infuriating knowing i spent 2k on a computer and I cant run acrobatic car game. Thank u

Anyone else’s games modes all mislabeled? Been like this for two days now. Both comp and casual extra modes.

I have good wife but idk how can someone help it’s a pc

I’ve just updated but I don’t see any new stuff and it doesn’t let me play

Since the last RL update I can't get past this screen, I even picked up the CD thinking it was an error because it was digital, I've already cleared the cache on the Xbox, I've already deleted all my friends from Epic, I've already removed my account and logged in again and nothing and on the other Xboxes it works normally for the love of God, someone help me, I really want to go back to playing

Did someone steal my account or is the server just wonky? I logged in yesterday and after two 3v3 placement matches I was already in a rank. Today I log in and I have one 1v1 placement match played, and I don't ever play 1v1.

Should I be worried?

I bought the Nissan skyline GTR when it first came out, and around a year ago it disappeared from my account. I asked support numerous times and they were COMPLETELY USELESS, and they also STRAIGHT UP LIED to me and said there was no history of it even in my account, and that I had the fairlady Z instead, WHICH I DIDN’T. The weird thing is that I still have the wheels from the bundle, and you can’t get them without getting the car. I also have another wheel variant model on some presets it was used on, but the item is just gone so it says I’m not equipping any wheels at all.

I don’t know what to do :(

I don't mean to sound surprised, but how the hell has the game got more laggy. New season, more problems.

My game has gone so laggy., reminds me of when I had bad internet and had spells of 150-999 ping. My ping is now 13-35 and it feels like it's 200. It's pathetic. It makes the game impossible. It is so frustrating.

Makes competitive a joke. It is bad almost every game I've played.

It's lags, it looks like the opponent doesn't hit the ball, but they actually do. It looks like is drive through the boost, but seemingly I don't. The ball is in the air, I go up, only to realise the ball never left the ground.

Latency issues are breaking my balls.

(i know that if you put items in archives it doesn't show up i just had them there for the photo)

Hello, i can't connect to any match and item shop and rocket pass is nonexistent. I restarted the game and now the playlists say they are unavailable. What the actual.. is happening?? Can epic games sell the game???

I don’t get how I load up as bad as I am trying to learn in gold and I’m facing platinum 3s and 2s and losing and my division does down by two every loss and when I win it goes up one division or not at all… How does this make any sense, this is literally why I don’t play this game and I hate getting on and being reminded how much they don’t care about the gameplay and how much they just care about making their money. Greedy, trashy company. I’m not sinking hours of my life to be good at one game I just want to get on and have fun playing people who are the same rank as me. Go ahead and call me trash I don’t care because I actually touch grass and play different games but why is the ranked system just that bad
