Have you tried running dxdiag to see if anything is wrong with DirectX, or try reinstalling your GPU drivers?

[rajkura]

Go to where your game is installed and there will be a folder called "_CommonRedist"

Inside that folder is DirectX and a couple of other items needed to run the game.

Well, you could always try getting a version of DirectX straight from MS.

Can't find download/downloaded the wrong one

[AlexPotato2]

BTW I have windows 10

[Acidic__Thought]

Guess I could have checked a little more closely. Didn't realise those weren't download links, just a nice line stating that it's already included with the OS.

Might not be able to due to your play time.

What other troubleshooting steps have you tried?

[AlexPotato2]

turn off AutoDetectDesktopResolution in
steam/steamapps/common/rocketleague/engine/BaseSystemSettings.ini

AutoDetectDesktopResolution=False

Awesome, glad you got it. Wasn't even going to come close to suggesting that.

[dirtyblondee]

Navigate to your "My Documents" mygames\Rocket League\TAGame\Config

Open up TASystemSettings.ini file

Modify the setting of Fullscreen=False. (You'll find Fullscreen=True, erase that and make it Fullscreen=False)

Save it by clicking file then clicking save and launch the game.



My boyfriend had spent over 3 hours trying to figure this out and I found this page on Reddit containing these directions and it works! Super easy and the game will launch correctly. I believe the problem is in the game going into fullscreen and it errors out. Hope this helps!!
