Get ready for some impactful changes to the demolition experience in Rocket League’s v2.43 update! This patch focuses on improving both the visual and audio feedback when a player gets demo’d, providing better awareness and a smoother transition back into the action. 

Rocket League v2.43 patch notes

THE HEADLINES

• Changes to the Demolition Camera and Audio.
• We’ll post additional Patch Notes when Season 16 begins on 9/4/2024 at 8 a.m. PDT / 3 p.m. UTC.

CHANGES AND UPDATES

Demolition Camera Changes

• After a demolition, the camera now flies from where you were demolished to your respawn point.
• The camera shows your respawn position before your car respawns, giving you a chance to see what’s happening around you before rejoining the match.
  • During this window, you can move the camera around to view your surroundings.

• Demo Transition Time: Under Settings -> Camera, a new Demo Transition Time setting lets you adjust how fast the camera flies from where you were demolished to your respawn point.
  • Default setting is 0.75 seconds.
  • You can adjust this setting from 0.00 (a snap transition) to 1.00 seconds.
  • A shorter transition time places the camera on your respawn point for longer.
  • A longer transition time gives you a better view of the field before spawning in.
  • Adjusting the slider does not affect how long the demolished state lasts, only when the camera moves.

Demolition Audio

• Raised the volume of the “ping” noise when a teammate is demolished.
  • Volume for this audio cue is still tied to the Gameplay slider under Settings -> Audio
