The 25 CRAZIEST Game-Breaking BUGS Ever Seen in Rocket League

[@Drrobverjones]

In regards to the ghost touches and such, they really should have the server update the clients in replays at the very least so se can see what actually happened rather than these super strange movements. That really shouldn't be crazy difficult.

[@Rocket_Sledge]

Doubling the size of replays that need to be saved(to the same 120Hz) is of course not "crazy difficult" but could have it's own issues including extra strain on servers and potential issues with less powerful clients. Replays are for capturing and editing footage later on. Understandably it's never been a priority to give a small group of people the ability to decide if they should complain or not about certain actions. And let's be honest, most players will continue to misinterpret the data anyways.

[@Drrobverjones]

@@Rocket_Sledge that's fair. I wonder if it could be done more efficiently, but it really isn't a priority for sure.

[@HoraryHellfire]

To be very specific, replays save data at 30hz of the information that the server sent you live while the game is played. It's not a client-side replay like many source games "demo record", or old halo theater, probably old CoD theater modes too. So it technically already is server information. As sledge said, it could have their rate increased, or even the server sending its own version of the replay, but there is pros and cons to that approach. One of which is extra bandwidth, and another of which is storage.

[@Adrian-wd4rn]

Ghost touch...Aka, scripting in disguise that nobody in the RL community wants to admit exists. Just because high tier players learned mechanics that effectively break the game, doesn't mean the scripts don't exist...Fifa is notorious for scripts, but it affects high rank players less because they know how to effectively break the game.

@@myeditedhandle I don't think so, as someone who's played since 2015 and didn't see it in even high Cas rating Rumble games. RL KZbin wasn't anywhere near mainstream to the game's playing audience like it is now.

[@Kryxx07]

Thank you for talking about ping and online games. Many players don't realize how tough it is to make online games run smoothly. The fact that 6+ players with varying pings can zoom around hitting the ball at high speeds and it works 99% of the time is an amazing feat.

[@rayzr8945]

Cool vid. I actually knew about the drop shot one but the rest of the clips were new to me. Very good idea for a video!

I love that even a Psyonix dev (Cinderblock) posted "Psyonix pls" lol

To be clear he wasn't a dev at the time. But it is funny going back to look at the post now as it appears with his dev tag on reddit.

[@Creative_YT]

Yesterday I was playing when I scored a 0 second goal. That’s normal, but what happened next was weird. Instead of the next kickoff starting as usual and the game ending shortly after, the ball started teleporting around during the countdown, and some cars spawned in weird places, one even spawned half way up the wall. The weirdest part by far however, was that this was not caused by an exploiter or server issues or anything like that. *This was in an offline match.* I have a recording of it I can try to find it sometime.

I actually captured a bug where back in FTP season 9 there would be a ghost or bonus player on the field in a 3v3 match resulting in a 3v4 and the bonus player turning invisible after the first goal.

[@rooniematerl8214]

dude I had the exact same thing happen to me s9 in a 2v2. this was when I was like low diamond so I wasn't clipping anything 😢 I was really hoping to see that bug in this video

[@Rocket_Sledge]

The only extra players footage I've ever seen is the issue casual lobbies had a few seasons back (and I covered in another video). I have never seen or heard of a comp game having an extra player.

[@banana_]

the dropshot ball on a standard map looks amazing

[@hambourje]

I play with 2 friends and they get so many ghost touches(most likely due to internet unstability on their side) and sometimes they just see me go at the ball, i miss it but they see a touch while there actually isn't and they comfort me by saying "you didnt miss you ghosted"... well yeah the ghost happened because your client believed in me too lmao

[@idiatico]

There used to be a bug, not sure if it was just in replays but certain antennas would be left around the map duplicating, I had a clip of it but i think it was on gfycat, rip.

[@shadeRL]

Two things that happen to me often is: 1. glitching to ground while flip resetting. 2. Bumping my opponent active in his side, but i fly farther away than him, if he only moves 😊

[@seandeeme]

3:31 idk if they have a drop shot ball skin for freeplay but i have a weed leaf one when i go to free play. When i go watch competitive game replays, it shows the weed leaf ball. It wasnt in the game tho, it just somehow showed up on the replay.

[@webrevolution.]

Awesome video. Honestly I really enjoyed it!

[@Tayaressss]

In SARPBC, the ball would often just clip out of the map and people were so used to it we would prepare ourselves to hit it when it would respawn at the center of the map

[@jejeneumen4931]

Once I was in my goal and someone scored, and I glitched through the top right part of the goal post. Like I actually went through the goal post

[@nCore01]

What's unfortunate for me is the fact that demo calculation based on mass center also introduced an ability to demo someone using the back fender (side of the car in fact) which completely throws me off because I'm USED TO old requirements. :(

[@aidenspurr7903]

Hey sledge I have a full match replay of what I believe to be as an a.i/ bot , it had all the usual signs and the old ones like the perfect flicks no Ariel play and instantly skips replays also it doesn’t adapt to the kick off I did , as he did a slow normal kickoff the exact same as every other kickoff and I would do a speed flip to counter it for a free goal . Just let me know if I can hit u up with the relay !

[@Rocket_Sledge]

Bots still get in a game from time to time, so this isn't really news. Just make sure you are reporting them. Most dont last long before they are banned.

[@Rocket_Sledge]

@@Max_-di5xj Definitely could have happened. Sometimes all you have is the reddit post and a person's word. And in these cases I often didn't even have the reddit post to give context as I was taking right from the gfycat site. Which one in particular is fake?

[@HeyYouYouAreFinallyAwake]

The ghost touches are insane. I see people get a touch on the ball, it moves slightly and then all of a sudden it's somewhere else and pretending like the guy never hit it in the first place. It happens every match and on a fiber optic connection with good ping.

[@seandeeme]

I just now was looking at clips of mine and noticed when i hit the ball with the corner of my car, it should have flew to the net but it gave a light touch, as if the ball was heavy. It was right after my partner went for kick off.

[@blazedacat5718]

I didn’t encounter a game breaking glitch but a funny one. I entered comp 2s with my friend only to find that the ball was spinning in the middle.. what

[@MrAlbinopapa]

demos are still broken, I've been destroyed by landing on players as well as t-boning them, which means I hit the side of their car and I blew up. Not to mention, there have been several times I've gotten demo'd by players when there is no possible way they could have gotten "super-sonic". It seems all it takes is to be boosting and boost-flip into an opponent to get the demo. I've done it a few times and I know I wasn't going supersonic.

[@Rocket_Sledge]

Dodging provides instant speed. Like the second you start the dodge it's a direct impulse. Thus boost-flipping is a very common (and non-broken) way to get demos. You will not see any wheel trails. Of all the complicated rules around demolitions "be supersonic" is the simplest one. Doesn't really break, just sometimes isn't as intuitive to the user(or victim).

[@dylanburgess170]

For a game that’s pretty simple, they do have a lot to work on. It would be less frustrating if they didn’t release a $20 bundle every week when I would rather just have better servers and mechanics

[@dylanburgess170]

Like Psyonix I’d rather just play without broken physics than buy a WWE bundle. Come on

[@palta_ninja]

I dont think i ever find a bug in my 5 years playing the game fortunately, besides of the poor quality of the servers these days.. But recently i found that demos are not working as they should.. Sometimes you hit an opponent at supersonic speed and does not happen anything..

[@HoraryHellfire]

Demos have rules and not intuitive rules. Demos are working as intended and have been since v1.43, except for the attempt to change them on v1.78 which was reverted quickly.

[@asxbi]

I had this one glitch like maybe a 6 months to a year ago I can’t rlly remember but I had loaded into free play and I saw a bot in there it didn’t move or do anything it just sat there idk if I still have the clip tho

You probably accidentally loaded into Rumble Freeplay, which includes a bot so you can use certain items. I would guess the map was Starbase?

[@dr_redbanRL]

The game still isnt completely fixed. If youre up by a goal you better bet youre getting unfair bounces off of every surface including your own car. Also the game forces almost every game into an overtime. If youre up by a goal take note of how hard you have to work to keep the other team from scoring. Conversely, when you are down a goal, in the last minute you can just drive at the ball and hit it anywhere and it will (almost every time) lucky bounce for an easy goal.

[@Rocket_Sledge]

These are some wild claims that also seem easy to test.

[@HoraryHellfire]

Except the fact that top tier players read nearly every bounce perfectly and consistently use it to their advantage. Almost like reading bounces is a skill or something... I hope you're trolling, lmao.

[@dr_redbanRL]

@@Rocket_Sledge the game tries to maintain a 50% win ratio. A good question to test is -why does almost every hit on the ball put it into a position where a player from both teams can reach it at the same time resulting in a perfect 50/50. That's a heck of a coincidence :)

Ever drive faster and 5050, yet it some how constantly keeps going towards your goal, whether you arrive early or late to the challenge?
