Tournaments Beta on Steam: What You Need to Know

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pESqfUKaBb8 We can’t wait for you all to check out our Tournaments Beta on Steam this week. Before you hop into Rocket League's ‘February Madness,’ however, we have some additional details and tips for you to keep in mind while enjoying the new feature. We will be gathering feedback on the /r/RocketLeague subreddit all throughout the beta -- please drop by and let us know about any issues that you run into. You can also use #RLTournamentsBeta on Twitter to talk about your experience in the beta, call out issues, and more! Reminder: This Tournaments Beta is only available on Steam. Players on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will not be able to access the Tournaments Beta. Beta start time: Wednesday February 21 (today!), 10am PST (1pm EST/7pm CET) Beta end time: Friday February 23, 5pm PST (8pm EST/2am CET on February 24)

How to Access the Beta

Go to your Steam Library on your computer and right-click Rocket League
Choose ‘Properties,’
Click the ‘BETAS’ tab in the pop-up window
Select ‘Tournaments Beta’ from the drop-down list
After closing the pop-up window, your Steam client will update Rocket League to the beta.
If you don’t see the Tournaments Beta option under the ‘BETAS’ tab at the start time, try restarting Steam or your PC after the beta begins.

Note: If you want to disable the beta, go back to the ‘BETAS’ tab, and select ‘NONE - Opt out of the beta program,’ and Steam will then update Rocket League back to your normal ‘live’ version of the game.

‘Beta’ Rocket League vs ‘Live’ Rocket League

As you’re hopping into your first tournament, remember that the Tournaments Beta has limited functionality outside of the new Tournaments feature compared to the ‘live’ version of Rocket League that you normally play on PC. Some of the differences and limitations you should keep in mind are:

The Tournaments Beta has no online matchmaking outside of the Tournaments environment
You cannot trade with other players, trade up items, or use Crates and Keys in the Tournaments Beta build
You will have access to most of your item inventory, but some newer items (e.g.: some items from the Velocity Crate) may not appear. This is normal, and those items are still in your inventory in the ‘live’ version of Rocket League
Some of your settings may not carry over to the Tournaments Beta
You may see a preview of some new content or features (like expanded color options) in the Tournaments Beta

If you plan on switching back and forth between ‘Live” Rocket League and the Tournaments Beta, you may want to backup your save data files just in case. You can do this by going to the following folders:

Windows
- DocumentsMy GamesRocket LeagueTAGameSaveDataDBE_Production
macOS:
- ~/Library/Application Support/Rocket League/TAGame/SaveData/DBE_Production/
SteamOS/Linux:
- ~/.local/share/Rocket League/TAGame/SaveData/DBE_Production/

Tournaments Beta Known Issues

Like any test, you may encounter some quirks and stability issues during the Tournaments Beta. Some of these include…

Crashing if you leave a Tournament early before your series of matches has concluded
Occasional crash when you leave a tournament
You can run ‘Hoops’ tournaments, but there may be stability issues throughout
Tournament messaging appearing after you ‘Unsubscribe’ from a Tournament
Audio bugs when entering a match or training
Issues when multiple party members try to join a tournament at once
Join match loops if a user or split-screen user are removed from a tournament team
Third-party mods/programs may cause the Tournaments Beta to crash

Last but not least? Thank you to our Steam community for helping us test the Tournaments system, and have fun!

Unlockable items and vehicles, stat tracking, leaderboards, and more
Addictive 8-player online action with a variety of different team sizes and configurations
Amazing 2-, 3-, and 4-player splitscreen mode that can be played locally or taken online against other splitscreen players
Broadcast-quality replays that allow you to fast forward, rewind, or view the action from anywhere in the arena
Competitive cross-platform gameplay with PlayStation®4 users

NOTE: Because of agreements with our online service provider, there are certain regions that are unable to connect to Rocket League®’s online multiplayer component. As a result, server access is restricted in China, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Apologies to our customers in those regions.

SteamOS and Mac Beta Versions
As of September 8, 2016, the SteamOS and Mac versions of Rocket League® were released to "Beta." SteamOS is the only "officially" supported Linux client, though other Linux platforms may be compatible. Likewise, the Mac version may or may not work on older systems with an integrated video solution and a dedicated GPU is highly recommended (Macs from 2013 or after should be okay). Mac system requirements are as follows:

OS: MacOS X 10.8.5
Processor: Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: OpenGL 4.1 - ATI Radeon HD 5670, NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M, Intel HD Graphics 4000 or Iris Pro Graphics

Be sure and check ongoing patch notes for SteamOS and Mac beta updates going forward. Listed below are all known issues for both versions of the game as of September 8, 2016:

The correct store page for DLC purchased through the Showroom doesn’t show up for Big Picture users. This is a Steam client-specific issue that Valve will be fixing in an upcoming patch
There are occasional crashes when exiting from a match to the main menu
The statues in Urban Central do not display correctly
You may experience intermittent blurring issues
(Mac Only) Xbox 360 controllers won’t work. You will need a third-party driver solution to use them
