Why am I disconnecting from Rocket League matches?

Let's first address why this is happening. There are numerous reasons as to why someone can disconnect in Rocket League. Maybe the servers are in maintenance, perhaps your connection is unstable, or it could be that you chose the wrong region. Either way, there's a solution for all of these.

How do I stop disconnecting from Rocket League?

There are numerous things you can do to stop disconnecting from Rocket League, such as:

Connect to the internet through LAN

It's widely known that using Wi-Fi leads to an unstable internet connection, which leads to high packet loss and ping variance. So try connecting your system to the internet using a LAN cable instead of Wi-Fi. 

If you're still facing issues, you can try restarting your modem or router, which can fix issues as it refreshes your connection. Instead of turning it off and on in quick succession, make sure you power cycle it by pulling its plug out and holding the power for 15 seconds. Once you've done that, plug it back in and turn it back on.

Make sure you're selecting the correct region

In Rocket League, you can select any region. However, if you want to avoid high ping and disconnections, you must choose the correct region, and to do that, all you need to do is:

1. Press Play
2. Select any game mode you want to play
3. Press the "regions" button on the top-right
4. From there, you can select multiple regions.

The best option for you to choose is "Recommended" as that will automatically connect you to servers with the lowest ping.

A thing worth noting is that this method will only change your region in the main game modes, so if you want to change it in tournament mode, head to settings, go to the Gameplay tab, and you should see a Tournament Schedule Region drop-down there where you can pick the most appropriate option.

As for private matches, there will be a region option in the server settings.

Miscellaneous fixes

Some other fixes for the game include:

• Setting an exemption for Rocket League in Windows Firewall 
• Make sure that the timezone selected on your PC is correct.
• Try deleting Rocket League's cache. To delete it, navigate to Documents\My Games\Rocket League\TAGame and then delete the cache folder.
• Just wait. Sometimes, Rocket League goes under maintenance, so the servers are down. To make sure, go and check Rocket League down-detectors or look for official updates.
