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
