Rocket League Launches Follow-Up Patch V1.44 To Fix The Problems Of Tournaments Update

We recently reported on the latest multiplatform update of the popular Rocket League, highlighting the improvements available for Nintendo Switch. Access to the section of tournaments (beta phase) or visual and performance improvements are some of the innovations presented by the Rocket League Tournaments Update. What we did not expect is that it would come full of failures ready to completely charge the gaming experience. Psyonix has not hesitated to pronounce on the matter with a new patch that arrives as May water.

Locks in the console, performance problems in the server or failures in the frame rate are some of the errors that Rocket League users encounter with this update. Well, from Psyonix have not been slow to get down to work and corrections are now available for both PC and PS4 and Xbox One. Nintendo Switch will have to wait a few days to receive the respective patch. Due to this stepped launch, the cross-platform game will be temporarily disabled for Switch users at this time until the review is active in that system.

In a statement in which the developer herself apologizes for the seriousness of the problems encountered, they have confirmed that they will grant three decryptors to each player who has logged in since the 1.44 update was released. At the same time, a double drop rate weekend has been announced that will take place in the coming weeks, once it is confirmed that the main problems have finally been solved.
