Is the unknown error while communicating with Rocket League servers ruining your experience? Try the list of fixes in this article to fix the problem and get down to scoring goals ASAP!
Psyonix describes Rocket League as a high-powered hybrid of arcade-style soccer and vehicular mayhem. This description fits perfectly to explain what Rocket League has to offer. Players are put into a versus lobby with other players where they have to score goals to win. Sounds like soccer, doesn’t it? But there’s a catch! The ball has to be maneuvered with vehicles available in the game. This gives rise to chaotic, yet fun online matches.
If you are thinking that all of this is too good to be true, you might be right. Recently, a weird bug has been afflicting many devices and ruining online sessions for many players. Players reported an unknown error while communicating with Rocket League. This particular error message indicates a problem with connectivity and/or server problems. But don’t feel defeated. There are fixes that you can try to solve this problem. The list of fixes given below is inclusive for all platforms. So feel free to use it on your device.
Fixes for Unknown error while communicating with Rocket League:
1) Check the region you are connected to:
Form the main menu, select Play and then select the game mode. After that, click on the Regions option at the top right of the screen. Make sure to select your own region or the recommended one. It is important that you connect to a server within your region for the best performance. Connecting to a faraway region can often show you the unknown error for Rocket League.
2) Restart your Modem/router:
Restart your router is an easy way to fix a small problem with your internet connection. Restarting your router will establish a fresh connection and give you the necessary speed to run the game. However, if the internet speed does not return to normal, contact your ISP for help. Psyonix suggests players to use a wired internet connection if possible. A wired connection to your setup will often be a priority in distribution when multiple devices are connected to your network. With that being said, you should also disconnect the devices from your network that are currently not in use. Continue playing Rocket League and check if you get the same error message again.
3) Check firewall settings:
Sometimes, the firewall installed on your device can block a particular program from accessing certain features. These features can also include the internet connection. Open your firewall and whitelist Rocket League to give it the necessary permissions.
4) Sync the clock on your device:
You need to make sure that your clock is synchronised to the correct time according to your region. The best approach is to just let your device sync the time automatically. This is important to avoid conflicts on time stamps with the Rocket League servers, preventing the unknown error.
5) Use a public DNS:
If you had changed your DNS settings to connect to a private one in the past, that could also cause connection errors. Change the values back to the default one or to the one that connects your device to Google Public DNS. Here’s a document describing how you can connect to Google Public DNS.
