Earlier this week, Psyonix released Rocket League 1.27 to fix a number of bugs. These bugs include:
- An experimental goal-post collision fix has been deployed
- Removed the “GO!” counter in Custom Training
- ‘Seamless Bot Replacement’ in Unranked online matches should now work as originally intended
- Fixed an issue where players were stuck in the Replay Menu after deleting certain replays
- Fixed an issue where selecting ‘Free Play’ forced the Loading Screen
- Fixed an issue where Emoji entry on Xbox One was not displaying in some cases
- UI scale setting in options should now save on PlayStation 4
- Fix for rank label updating for division text and changing colors
In addition to bug fixes, the patch added Utopia Coliseum (Snowy) into the Snow Day Playlist.
While it’s a nice change from DFH stadium, a number of Snow Day players who have Dual Graphics card setups have reported terrible performance on the new map. Issues range from rubberbanding to a substantial decrease in Frames Per Second. The solution is to disable SLI mode and only use one Graphics Card. According to the comments in this Reddit thread, Psyonix is aware of the issue and is looking into it.
To avoid disabling SLI between games, Reddit user M4TT145 suggests using NVIDIA Control Panel to configure Rocket League to use one GPU. In the Manage 3D Settings area, select SLI rendering mode and change it from Dual-GPU to Single-GPU.
Boost Speed and Air Roll Bug
While fixing quite a few bugs, Rocket League 1.27 introduced a new bug that deals with boost and air roll speed. It has something to do with waiting in a game lobby for players to connect. Once connected, members of the blue team have 2x Boost strength and the air roll speed is doubled until one team scores a goal. Here’s a video that shows the bug in action.
The bug has been reported on the Rocket League Subreddit where Psyonix Devs confirmed they are looking into it. This annoying bug appears in all game modes and is especially annoying in ranked where Blue sometimes has the unfair advantage during kickoff. I’ve played in ranked matches where the opposing team will score an easy goal by beating me to the ball by at least a car length.
