Client freezing, is this only happening to me?

[Kuster]

For some months now I've been experiencing two problems, one minor and one major:

1. sometimes the game won't launch when I start it on steam, usually works the second time I try
2. the client has been randomly freezing for well over 10 seconds, mostly in the game menu, but I had it happen during a match once

I've had this game for years now, never had these problems for most of the time it's been installed. I verified my game files to make sure that wasn't the issue, but it still happens.

Does this happen to anyone else or did I just get lucky? My personal theory is that they've been spaghetti coding this client into oblivion.

1.
known issue.
some players are experiencing this since some time.
It has been added in the official website and hopefully will be fixed in the upcoming game updates.
No fixes found as of now.

2.
could you list me the pc hardware components?
is the operating system updated to the latest available build?

meanwhile, try typing the following command via cmd (with administrator privileges):

sfc /scannow

to be able to find (if any) possible damaged system files.

There is also an official guide made by psyonix, but its pretty related to crashes happening during the launch:
https://support.rocketleague.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054169294
there you can see if there are possible good advices to try out for your issue.

let me know

thanks, there actually were.

Did the requirements for the game increase? I'm on an up to date win10, i5-7400, gtx 1060 and 16 gb ram

Anyway hopefully that solves it, but if the issue remains, is this even the right place to post this kind of stuff?

Thanks again.

Yeah no, still freezing in menus. Usually happens on the game title screen or when changing from one menu screen to another, such as selecting a playlist.

You should be fine.
From what I know no changes has been made to the system requirements.

If users are unable to find possible fixes on the forums, in the RLcord or online, best suggestion is always to contact the support.

Even if it seems that you are experiencing those issues outside the match as well.
Is the game installed on an SSD or HDD?

[Kuster]

Guess I should be happy it only happened during a match once, eh? lol

the game is installed on a 4-ish years old westerndigital hard drive, should still be fine right? I don't think any other game installed on it had any issues. I guess I could move the game to the sdd to see if it helps.

I'm having the same issue.
But sadly it doesnt freeze in menu (rarely happens there), but it happens either when the match starts or right in the middle of it. Only thing I can do is open task manager and close it. Doesnt even react to Alt + F4.
Happens from time to time and is new to me since this season. Really annoying, because I can't join back in the game with my teammate, because it even kicks me out of the group when it happens.

Epic Games trying to suddle force people over to their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ platform.
