On October 20, the developers of Rocket League released Patch 2.78, which fixed bugs related to the user interface, performance, and gameplay. They also made minor changes to the item shop and the trading system.
Changes

Bug Fixes
Stability and Performance
- Fixed a crash on Xbox that could occur when resuming the game.
- Fixed a bug on Nintendo Switch that could cause players to become “stuck” and be unable to log in after a network disconnection.
- Fixed a bug where all participants in a private match would receive “Error 58” if a new player joined the game just as the match transitioned to the next stage.
Gameplay
- Fixed a bug that allowed players in a “1v1” competitive match to leave the match by accepting a group invitation from a user who then switched to a private match.
- Fixed a bug that caused team settings and parameters for a private match created by another player to remain saved even after leaving that match.
- Fixed a bug that caused players to be automatically placed in the team voice chat when starting a “Duel of Honor” in game modes designed for more than two participants.
Trading and Inventory
- Fixed a bug where some duplicate items from the “Black Market” could not be traded because they belonged to different series or were obtained from different sources.
- Fixed a bug that caused items subject to trading restrictions to appear in the trading menu if the player had duplicates of them.
