Known Issues
Server Performance: Because not all players and servers are being affected, we are still researching the root cause. As we learn more, we will update the community with our findings and timeline for a fix
During Goal Replays, your local car’s audio may sound too loud relative to the rest of the match
For a few specific Wheel & Body combinations, the body’s axles may clip through the front or rear wheels
Some UI elements may not be visible during matches
Some items like Event Crates may still appear in two stacks in your Garage instead of one
Some Wheels may appear smaller than intended
Lens Flares not working correctly on PS4
Incorrect colors display in old Replays (Replays from before the Tournaments Update/v1.43.)
Some players with a Competitive Rank may show up as Unranked at the end of a match
Season 3 'Star' Reward Wheels may not have glow effect
PS4: Changing Wheels on a Preset may set the Preset back to default with Octane body
The above bug should be fixed by rebooting Rocket League or your PS4
