Fed Up With Fancy Footwork? A Guide to Disabling Cross-Platform Rocket League (For the Chronically Frustrated)
Let's face it, Rocket League is a game of pure, unadulterated chaos. It's a ballet of boosting cars, a symphony of screeching brakes, and a constant battle against the laws of physics. But recently, your finely tuned chaos has been disrupted by an influx of... well, let's just say their car control makes you question your own existence.
Enter the culprit: Cross-Platform Play.
Suddenly, you're up against players who seem to defy gravity with the grace of a gazelle on roller skates. You swear they have rocket surgery for fingers and can flick the car around like a seasoned fly swatter. Fear not, fellow bronze-bound warriors, there's a way to reclaim your Rocket League sanity... or at least, a chance to face fellow flailing beginners on your own platform.
The Great Disconnect: Disabling Cross-Platform Play
Here's the lowdown on how to turn off cross-platform and (hopefully) find yourself in matches with players who share your, ahem, "unique" playstyle.
Step 1: Boot Up and Breathe Deeply
This might be the hardest part. You've just been schooled by a spinning blur of a car with a unicorn horn on it. Take a moment, channel your inner zen master, and resist the urge to hurl your controller into the abyss.
Step 2: Navigate the Menu Maze
Every platform is different, but generally, you'll want to find the wondrous world of "Settings." It might be tucked away under a gear icon, a cog icon, or possibly even a tiny wrench (because apparently, Rocket League wants you to feel like you're fixing your car after a particularly rough match).
Step 3: The Glorious Gameplay Tab
Once you've braved the settings labyrinth, you'll be greeted with a plethora of options. Don't get overwhelmed! Head straight for the sacred "Gameplay" tab. This is where the magic happens.
Step 4: The Promised Land (or Maybe Just a Slightly Less Frustrating Playlist)
Now, look for the holy grail: "Cross-Platform Play." This glorious option, often a simple checkbox, holds the key to your (potentially) less rage-inducing future. Uncheck it with the fervor of a thousand suns.
A Word of Warning: Patience is a Virtue (Especially in Queue Times)
Be warned, adventurer, disabling cross-platform might mean slightly longer queue times. But hey, at least you might get matched with players who haven't mastered the art of defying gravity... yet.
So, will disabling cross-platform make you an instant Rocket League pro? Probably not. But it might just level the playing field (or lack thereof) and allow you to rediscover the joy of delightfully chaotic gameplay – amongst your own kind.
Now, go forth and boost with reckless abandon (but maybe try not to demolish your teammates this time).
