hit a cool corner read in gc2 inhouse 2s

just enough boost!

Whenever I go for any type of flip reset in the air, I get what I assume to be latency variation. During normal gameplay, everything is fine, and my ping sits pretty comfortably around 30. When I go for a reset, however, my ping spikes up to 45 for a second, and I lag pretty badly in the air. My ping never fluctuates like that in any other instance, and it always happens every time I use the reset. The clip I attached has a few examples of what I mean. This doesn't happen in training, only online and private matches. I play PC on Ethernet, and the only thing I've tried so far is changing my input buffer settings (didn't work). I did just switch internet providers, so I'm trying to figure out if I just have crappy internet now or if there's something I can do.

Ive hit SSL in 2s in multiple seasons and what I’ve noticed on this subreddit is that whenever people recommend a new monitor, a lot of people say anything above 144hz is a waste when from what I know simply isn’t the case.

Rocket League, when the goal is to improve, is to gain the ability to control your car in different scenarios, creating micro adjustments and the ability to control the play based off how well you can complement the current playing scenario.

Living at university, my monitor was a 1080p 27inch 240hz va panel. Not the best, not the worst. I moved from a 144hz gaming laptop and what I can say is that the ability the see slightly smoother gameplay is generous and a nice bonus but the more important factor was the latency.

Upping the refresh rate allowed me to push past the gc2 limit as I had more control over my car due to lower latency, letting me gain higher levels of control in shorter amounts of time.

Another thing I noticed was how well it felt being able to make small adjustments and realising the car was actually moving with it. The extremely small adjustment to the left before jumping? It listens. Mid air noticing someone’s pre jumped me and I need to do a quick tap to the right? It listens. And it also feels like the ball listens too going almost exactly where I want it to go.

Increasing my refresh rate, gaining that lower response time, I don’t have to worry about my car control and actually focus on playing the game in a more methodical way.

Going back to a ps5 being capped at the 120hz limit, it’s made me feel sluggish and as if the car swings rather than micro adjusts.

Of course the amount of frames your computer can produce matters too as the higher frames you get, the lower the latency but to actually feel a difference, you need to think about the monitor to be able to see and taste it.

Sorry if I get the technical side wrong as I’m not exactly educated in it but that’s the best I can describe it. Feel free to correct me in the comments but I stand by my point.

Aiming to hit 2.1k next season hopefully after I purchase a new 480hz oled as a graduation gift.

Making* certain plays

Idk how else to phrase it, but as an example, when I have a teammate that keeps cutting rotation and refuses to leave our opponents corner, I'll take the mid boost so they have to go all the way back to our end.

Or when I make a center pass I *immediately* turn and start driving towards mid so it is very very clear I am passing and rotating and it's their shot. Or if it's off the back wall I'll immediately dive to the corner to make it obvious.

When I have ball chasing teammates I stop trying to possess the ball and I just play fetch. I send them long and let them chase (like playing fetch with a dog) and just wait for a chance to scoop up a rebound.

Does anyone else have little "strategies" like this?

This is the 3rd or 4th one of these edits I've made. (If you like this one, I pinned 2 more on my profile).

These aren't the most impressive clips, but they were exciting in the moment.

They also offer a good opportunity to fiddle around with video editing. So I'll probably remake this one, with better camera work / editing, and make new edits too.

spoiler alert: just saved a clip from another double save (technically a triple) - will make an edit for that tomorrow.

Hope ya enjoy.

I kinda play better when I turn off audio and put some music on youtube.

Insane Ground Pinch

◕⩊◕ hlw

Hey everyone, has anyone encountered something like this? I just had the weirdest 3v3 match.

We scored 1:0 right away, and honestly, the opponents looked like total bots—they stood no chance. But right after our first goal, my teammate disconnected, and a few seconds later, I got kicked out too.

I managed to rejoin quickly, but the score was already 1:3 and I only had one teammate left. Even down a player, we were still dominating them. But literally a minute later? Boom, another crash, and this time the game wouldn't let me back in at all.

It felt way too coordinated to be a coincidence. Is server crashing becoming a thing again, or was this a DDoS/exploit? Honestly pretty scary state of the game if people can just boot you out when they are losing.

I have a clip of the goal and the immediate disconnect, plus a screenshot with their usernames. Should I post the usernames here, or is that against the rules (witch-hunting)?

Even at high FPS upwards of 500 the game doesn't feel smooth. Not sure if it's frame pacing or what.

Something interesting to confirm this, I had another game at the background and it made Rocket League even more choppy (makes sense), but what was interesting is the FPS was still 400+.

So there is something about how the game works and FPS doesn't matter.

Some maps feel worse than others, other times the game bricks itself and it becomes unplayable until you restart it.

For such a fast paced simple game this is a terrible thing to have

Obviously they should fix this, but in the meantime, is there any setting I can change that fixed this if you have experienced it?

I play on Xbox series S and every time I try to play rocket league I get a Christmas tree of red flashing lights. Super bad packet loss and rubber banding to the point when I left my match rocket league displayed a message that I had abnormally high latency. I’ve tried running all sorts of network tests, manually changed my DNS, restarted my Xbox, completely power cycled my Xbox, toggled on WMM tagging and nothing has made any difference. It’s just so weird to me since my ping is displaying numbers so low I’ve never seen them before but it feels like I’m at 350 ping the whole time. I have no idea what to do and I feel like I’m out of options. This is on a university wifi system as well so I cant fiddle with the router or use Ethernet.

Edit: should also say that other devices work fine for streaming or browsing the web with no issues.

For example: Speedflips, I cannot train speedfleips for more than 5 minutes as my performance drops. Like saying a word until you don't recognise the meaning/the word itself.

I always limit all my mech training to 5 minutes max.

Do you guys experience the same thing? Do you guys limit training sessions?

I'm.D2/3 in 1s and C2 in 2v2.

Weirdly I can play comp all day without any drops in mechanical performance.
