Damnit! Patch sneaking up on me again. Well I have some shit to sell today then I guess. Don't really fancy dealing with the market right now to be honest but it feels like a waste to leave easy keys on the table and I want one of those new cars but dunno which yet XD

Excited for the update now! Oddly I'm really looking forward to the updates for the music! Been wanting something like that for a while even if I will default to Spotify again in no time.

yeah, new music and new customization options (engine sounds, goal explolsions...) will probably make me stay up and wait till it´s out.

Yessir. Been waiting to get my hands on that prospect trail. maybe see how the other ones look painted white from the box as well.

Though I'm using the octane again. Hoping they fixed the decal issue on it this patch.

Glad I bought thee white RLCS decals when I did. They are damn near impossible to find now.

I started playing Rocket League about a week ago, I'm kinda sick of the bad players I end with every time in ranked matches.

I want people to play with to get my rank up if anyone is up for it?

Edit: I play on steam

Those engine sounds are going to be very appreciated. I hated that awful tractor engine in the Dominus sooooooooo much.

Edit: is it just me who thinks the new menu is 1000x worse? I just think it looks completely overdone.

I fucking hate ballchasers who have the nerve to tell you you suck. Motherfucker the only reason you have points is because you take everyone else's shots and opportunities.

I don't understand this game's performance on PC. Haven't played in awhile, just recently picked up a 1080ti and 1440p 144hz Gsync monitor.

Playing the game borderless windowed without Vsync and framerate limit set to 250, game properly caps at 144fps, but drops frequently.

Playing the game fullscreen without Vsync and framerate limit set to 250, game properly caps at 250fps and there's no screen tearing or framerate drops for some reason.

Playilng the game fullscreen with Vsync and framerate limit set to 250, game doesn't cap at 144fps even though Vsync is on, and there's screen tearing at 250fps without framerate drops.

Playing the game fullscreen with or without Vsync on and framerate limit set to less than 250, and there's screen tearing and no drops.

What bothers me the most is that I can't play the game borderless windowed like literally every other game I play. Why can I run the game at 250 fps (and probably significantly higher than that if the game wasn't capped at that) without dips, but can't run it at 144fps without dips.

The new search screen is stupid. Someone actually got paid to have the thought "hey I know games have gotten away from having to use the start button on menus but I really think it's poised for a comeback". Just... why?

They broke so, so so many things in this update. But by *far* the worst is the dynamic volume in the game is just awful... So hard on the ears

Is the ability to play the soundtrack in the match implemented with this update?

There's some balancing issues for sure. I'd expected as much since I always end up having this issue with dynamic volume where it expects you to blast the volume out since all quiet sounds are extra quiet but any loud sounds are like a bomb going off. The worst for me is matches getting cancelled all the time in player match.

You don't need to be empathetic towards me.
My God, this new menu/search is fucking terrible. Did they hire a child to design it?

Also, why is competitive non ranked, and casual is ranked? How does that make sense? Shouldn't it be reversed?

Yeah, this new menu has got to go. The amount of times I'm queueing for Standard because it's first on the list and I just wanna mash A to get queueing again is bad.

New menus are just straight up awful. Over complicated a process we had no issues with before while fucking with habits we've learned for 2 years now. Arena IS great, but god damn I wish that announcer would shut up. There's also some random drumming on one of the maps now, I don't get why.

Edit: Ok I'd seriously recommend turning off the music slider for now. It's just so unbalanced.
