Instructions[citation needed]
|
- Use the
-ResX=YourWidth -ResY=YourHeight command line arguments and launch the game.
- Close the game, then remove the command line arguments.
|
Modify configuration file[citation needed]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
TASystemSettings.ini .
- Find the following line
MaxAnisotropy= and set it to 16 .
|
Enable MSAA[13]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
TASystemSettings.ini .
- Find
bAllowD3D9MSAA and set it to True .
- Find
MaxMultiSamples (this should be directly above the line mentioned above) and set it to your preferred level of MSAA samples (2 , 4 , 8 or 16 ).
Notes
- MSAA is not officially supported and can cause bugs.[14]
|
- SSAA forced through the driver works (tested on AMD card). On Dropshot, requires tinkering with the in-game AA setting (disable/re-enable it) during gameplay to work again.
- The built-in FPS limiter can be adjusted up to 250 FPS, or disabled to allow an uncapped frame rate.
Disable the FPS limiter by modifying the configuration file[15]

- Open
TASystemSettings.ini .
- Find the following line
AllowPerFrameSleep= and set it to False .

- Mouse axes aren't bound to anything by default. Binding them to the camera will cause mouse movement to act like an analog stick, making the camera move at a constant speed and resetting to the default position instantly if movement stops.

Issues unresolved
Low FPS after ALT-Tabbing
On some systems users may experience a severe FPS Cap reducing your FPS from the maximum of 250 down to possibly 60. A relaunch solves the issue, and there is likely a fix on the way.
Issues fixed
Controller not working
- As the game does support all controller standards, it might be picking up some peripheral as primary controller, which can include mouse, tablet, webcam, etc.
Remove unused controllers[citation needed]
|
- Push ⊞ Win+R and type joy.cpl then push OK.
- From Advanced settings... set your used controller as primary one and then push OK.
- Locate all unused controllers listed and either unplug them physically, disable them from device manager or with virtual controllers uninstall from control panel.

Not connected to Servers under Linux
Create a symlink for the CA Certificates to where Rocket League expects them[20]
|
sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
|
Game fails to launch and does not create an error message
- Steam will adjust user status to 'playing game' for several seconds, but fail to create a process for Rocket League, possibly giving an error that MSVCR100.dll is missing.
Repair Installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package[21]
|
- Go to
<Steam-folder>\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010 .
- Run
vcredist_x86.exe (it doesn't matter if you're using a 64-bit operating system).
- Choose to repair the installation.
