So without further ado, let’s begin:
1) Steam Launch Options
- Go to the list of games in the Steam library.
- Right-click on Rocket League and select Properties.
- Click the Set Launch Options in the General tab.
- Type the following commands, as shown in the image below:
-high -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -nomovie -nomansky -AllowBackgroundAudio +mat_antialias 0 -malloc=system
Click on OK, and the settings will be saved. Now the game will run much better, and you will get better FPS for Rocket League.
2) Rocket League In-Game Settings
Launch Rocket League, and select the Options on the game menu as shown below. Then, open the Video tab. I will guide you on how to set up each in-game setting for maximum performance.
Gameplay settings in Rocket League:
- Set client send rate: High
- Server send rate: High
- Bandwidth limit: High
Video Settings For Rocket League:
Window settings:
Resolution: use the maximum resolution of your monitor.
Using your maximum resolution is the best option since you get the most pleasant viewing experience, which is essential in any game. Also, low resolutions cause eye strains, so avoid them if possible. Unless you are running a potato PC, do not lower your resolution.
Display Mode: Fullscreen.
Full Screen is the best choice hands down. Both for performance and gaming experience in Rocket League. Windows gives better performance for fullscreen games.
Vertical Sync: Off.
Must be turned off for all online games. It causes input lag which can cause issues in competitive games.
Basic Settings
Anti-Aliasing: Off.
The quality difference between “Off” and “FXAA Low” is significant, so if you can enable it. If required. If you have a decent PC, then FXAA is better. For competitive settings, turn it off.
If you get jagged edges then enable this setting. If you have a larger monitor screen then FXAA is best.
Render Quality: High Quality.
Keep it at high quality. The reason is that the graphics are terrible at low quality so you won’t feel like playing the game. It’s not that performance intensive so High is recommended.
Render Detail: Performance / Custom.
For Competitive Game settings: Set it to Performance
Otherwise: Custom Setting is best which is auto-selected when you change any of the advanced settings
Max FPS: Max
This is the FPS cap of the game. I suggest setting it at the same value as your monitor refresh rate or a slightly higher value. It gives you some competitive advantage. Frankly speaking, you should not limit the FPS. Higher is always better.
If you have a 144hz display select 144 as the fps cap and so on.
Advanced settings
If you choose performance for render detail, then do not change this. If you want to change these settings manually, then start editing the advanced settings one by one.
Texture Detail: High Performance.
I suggest keeping this setting at High Performance for a better FPS. I noticed that the high-quality option did not have much impact. Again, if your system can take it, High quality is better.
This setting is more dependent on your GPU. If you have a decent GPU you should be fine.
High-Quality Shaders: On.
Do not turn this off as it makes the game look really crappy. Always keep this on.
As far as everything else is concerned, disable everything except for Transparent Goalposts. This setting must be on.
This setting gives a crucial advantage because when you are inside or near a goal post, you’ll want to see where the ball is located without needing the help of the indicator.
Disabling the options will not only increase your FPS but also give you a competitive advantage while playing the game. Special effects such as Ambient Occlusion, Bloom, Light Shafts, Depth of Field, Lens Flare, Weather, and Motion Blur only cause issues with your gameplay. You do not need any of those.
- Click Apply to save the changes.
Now you can probably play the game at a very high FPS and score some serious goals!
