interestingly, i don´t notice any screen tearing on my tv, it´s just at the beginning of a match that i get a couple of jerky movements and then it feels fine. got used to it after an hour or so.

I'm not making this up- I can't play on console on a tv anymore for tv input lag and i can't play with vsync on. When I turned it off I could finally play faster and went from champ->gc in 5 days, I found out when laz was over and thought my pc was messed up only to find out I had vsync on like an idiot.

Damn. It's really working. The screentearing is distracting but the game does feel much better. Is there a point at raising or unlocking my fps above 60 if I have a 60hz monitor?

Interesting timing on this discussion, as I just turned off vsync on PS4 recently and can vouch for all the improvements mentioned above--particularly the ability to keep the ball on your car when dribbling. It takes one play session to get used to the little bit of jitter, but it's smooth sailing after that.

Also, I just hit Platinum in 3s this weekend -- my first star rank ever. Could be a coincidence with the timing of the vsync thing, but it certainly didn't hurt.

I'll also advocate for turning your deadzone down a bit. Default is .3, and I've been slowly dropping mine down a tenth of a percentage until stopping at .22, which feels comfortable for now. I'm sure this isn't news for any of the veteran players around here, but I do believe these two things can really help intermediate players.

Soulflarz · May 8, 2017

^ayyy jetserpent clips! Man I remember when jetserpent was ba- oh wait no he's always been able to body me feelsbadman

Re: Deadzone- throw that down to .15 or so if you can. I use .13, a lot of pros use .1, it's also extremely useful. You can do everything with a higher deadzone, but why deal with less precision.

Hz+1/2

aka 61 or 62, iirc it looks a tiny bit better and doesn't really create any issues.
because of how frames are picked going above creates a bit of lag- when I had mine at 100ish, I had it ALMOST as bad as vsync, legit made me unable to improve for a couple weeks because my muscle memory for flicks was so off from what I was doing, probably wasted 80hr in game.

So to recap: always keep vsync off, and put your max fps in game 1 or 2 above what your monitor limit is.

edit: Also I'm really happy we're back to discussing applicable stuff. Honestly never really got the point of an OT being used to rant- it's no secret that even with bad games every now and then, your rank is relatively a good indicator of where you are. That is to say, I prefer when we're talking either about generalized news or improvement/strategy than uhh, "omg my teammates made me silver 2 again" that this thread was for 6 months <_>

I had it down to .2 and was getting way more backflips than usual when double jumping, so I dialed it back up a bit. It's a bad habit I know I need to train out of my muscle memory, but this has helped for now.

Yeah, I'd honestly suggest going into unranked with .13 or so and playing an hour or two- you'll hate it at first, but when you try going back to what you had it'll feel awful and you'll be used to it. That's the general rule with sensitivity- it's why in COD and such on console so many people who wanted to get used to 7 put it on 10 for an hour or two, so their old 4 or 5 felt awful and slow so they had to use a middle ground.

Update 1.34

We're excited to announce that our next update for Rocket League is coming later this week -- Wednesday, May 10 at 3pm PDT to be exact! (That's 6pm EDT for our East Coast players, 12am CEDT on May 11 if you're in Europe, and 9am AEST if you're in Oceania.)

Your feedback has been heard! ‘Neo Tokyo' is back, and we've redesigned it as a Standard Arena. We left the scenery untouched to maintain that futuristic metropolis look, while removing the parallel ramps on either side of the goals. ‘Neo Tokyo' will be returning to all Playlists, including Competitive, and will be available in Private matches as well.

For those who love the original ‘Neo Tokyo,' we have you covered! We are keeping the original Arena in Rocket League, but with a new name: ‘Tokyo Underpass.' This new name/old look Arena will be available in offline and Private matches only for now. ‘Tokyo Underpass' is also replacing the original ‘Underpass' map, which will be removed from the Rocket Labs rotation starting with this update.

A NEW BATTLE-CAR ENTERS THE ARENA!
Available only as a limited-drop inside our next Crate (more on that below), Mantis is a car many of you have been asking about since our Batman v Superman DLC update in 2016. Mantis is fully customizable and has an all-new look, but it uses the same low, flat hitbox, and turn radius as the Batmobile. We're also including six new Decals with Mantis: Arrowhead, Battleworn, Kaze, Maxx, Roasted, and Uproar.

NITROUS-POWERED CRATE DROPS
The new Nitro Crate includes the Mantis Battle-Car mentioned above, along with limited-drop Wheels, Decals, Rocket Trails, and Black Market customizations. See below for a sneak peek at some of the included items!

COMING SOON: ZAG TOYS AND IN-GAME ITEMS
This week's update also includes the framework for in-game items tied to our Zag Toys Mini Pull-Back Racers! Once the blind-bag toys start hitting store shelves in June, Rare and Very Rare Pull-Back Racers will include unique codes redeemable for a set of in-game items. You can find out more about the Pull-Back Racers in our blog post from last week.

Curious to see what else is going into v1.34? We'll have full patch notes up on the blog before release on Wednesday. Stay tuned!

Yeah I'm gonna have to try and flip my turbos for keys tonight. Hopefully I can get a key for 4 or so.

Pretty cool that the new car has batmobile stats.

Looking at the new wheels I think my zombas are safe again but those new boosts....if that firework one can come pianted I might be tempted.

Wait there's a new crate and car? I've not played in a while so I totally missed this. Bet I missed the rush to sell the crates for easy keys too. I kinda wanna try that v sync thing but, I've not played in a while and it feels good. No more stressing about not being on par with the pros anymore. I kinda feel like I should come back for the crates but I dunno, I think I might be done.

Edit: wait it literally just dropped? Well, shit. Now I do feel obliged to sell some crates.

RIP Keys for White mantis.

UpDownLeftRight · May 11, 2017

Ok had one quick game in hopes of a crate to sell. No luck, but I tried the V sync thing and I can feel a bit of a difference, but man it is not remotely smooth. Constant judder and tear, feels like my eyes are gonna blow chunks. I'm not sure I can stick with it.

Playing that one damn match pulled me right back in again, I knew this was gonna be a mistake

CountAntonius · May 11, 2017

Made a video of the crate stuff(BM decals aside). The wheels look a lot better in motion. Disappointing in the standard decals. That bee one is just...why. I hope the second boost comes painted cause I love the look and sound of it.

Do those exotic wheels come painted? I'm interested but they also look a little odd to me. I really need MG-88 for the Endo though and I really wanna try out that new car. Oddly I don't like how it looks painted, at least not the white so I won't be needing to splash out many keys. Not really a fan of the boosts either tbh. It's almost nice to not have a massive shopping list.

Edit: Well, it is a known issue with Hexed. WTF.

+A big FU to the former Champion(I see your fancy wheels) who wanted to forfeit after a 0:1 because of a small screw up. He then stopped playing after the 0:2. I abandoned the match. Thanks ahole.

Edit: It boggles my mind that there is no smurf-auto-ban implemented. If the player with a Rookie tag scores more points than the average Joe at Diamond 1 and his team wins, auto-ban that player. Simple. No mercy.

That would just be stupid. I'm a PS4 player but last weekend RL was free to play on PC so I wanted to try it out in higher framerate. And of course I was going to wreck a lot of people while I had a Rookie tag.
But I have to admit, it was fun. There was one Plat 3 match where I was paired with two legends and they immediately started to moan how they are going to lose the match because of me. I scored 5 goals, made some nice saves and we won comfortably. Should I have been banned?

Should get a crate drop very soon just hope it's Nitro. I'll grab some lunch and jump on.
