Rocket League 1.44 Update: What Has Been Fixed
The following is the list taken from the Rocket League site of full patch notes, general fixes and known issues that the team at Psyonix is aiming to sort in the near-future.

Network Settings
- Server Send Rate, Client Send Rate, and Bandwidth Limit now all default to “High”
Nintendo Switch
- Fixed a memory leak that could cause crashes on Nintendo Switch
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
- Ball floats on Utopia Coliseum (Dusk) in Free Play
While the tournament update was obviously a marquee move for Rocket League, it is heartening to know that the meat and potatoes of the game (i.e. the gameplay and all that involves) is still tirelessly being tweaked by the developers, not least that irritating server performance issue.
