1. Close Steam completely. Make sure it’s also closed from the tray-bar.
2. Right-click on Steam’s launch icon and click on Run as Administrator. Then, launch Rocket League and see if the issue has been resolved.

   

If the issue is no longer occurring while steam is launched with Administrative privileges, exit the game, close Steam again and follow the steps below to ensure that Steam always has admin access:

1. Right-click on the Steam launcher and choose Properties.

   

2. Inside the Properties screen of Steam, access the Compatibility tab, go to the Settings menu and check the box associated with Run this program as an administrator. Then hit Apply to save the change.

Method 2: Enabling UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)

A lot of users that were unable to play online as a result of this error have managed to resolve the issue by enabling UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) inside their router settings. Of course, this procedure will be different according to your router manufacturer, but this method has been confirmed to work for users encountering the issue on Xbox One, Ps4, and PC.

Although your screen might look different on your side, the procedure is roughly the same. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Open up any web browser and type in the address bar the IP of your router (the default Iaddresseses are 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.

   

2. Enter your credential to gain entries to your router settings. Most router manufacturers have the default username as admin and the password as admin, *blank* (nothing) or 1234. If the credentials don’t match your situation, search online for specific default credentials according to your router.
3. Once you have access to your router setup, look for a UPnP or Forwarding tab and enable UPnP.  The exact location of this setting will be different from manufacturer to manufacturer, but you can typically find it under the Advanced settings menu.

   

4. Save the changes and restart your router and the machine that you play Rocket League on (PC or console). Then, search for an online match and see if you’re still encountering the issue.

Note: If you’re encountering the issue on a PC, it’s a good idea to enable Network Discovery from your Windows settings. Some users encountering the same issue have reported that turning on network discovery is what finally did the trick. To do this, open a Run box (Windows key + R), type “control.exe /name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter” and press Enter to open the Network and Sharing Center. Once you get there, go to Chance Advanced sharing settings and enable the toggle associated with Turn on network discovery (under Network discovery)

Method 3: Uninstall Peerblock (PC only)

Some affected users have reported that the issue was fixed for them after uninstalling PeerBlock.  As it turns out, PeerBlock has a tendency of blocking some ports required by Rocket League, which ends up rendering the game unusable for some users.

With this in mind, if you’re using PeerBlock or it’s predecessor (Peerguardian), uninstall the software from your computer and see if the issue persists. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “appwiz.cpl”  and press Enter o open Programs and Features.

   

2. Inside Programs & Features, scroll down through the list of applications and locate PeerBlock/PeerGuardian. Once you see it, right-click on it and choose Uninstall, then follow the on-screen prompts to remove the software from your computer.
3. Once PeerBlock or PeerGuardian is uninstalled, restart your computer and launch Rocket League again at the next startup.

If the error is still occurring, move down to the next method below.

Method 4:  Disabling overprotective antivirus (PC only)

If you’re encountering the issue on a PC and you are using a 3rd party tool to protect against malware, you might want to do some investigations to determine whether the AV/firewall is not blocking some ports used by Rocket League.

Some affected users have discovered that in their case, the issue was caused by their AV/firewall. Most commonly, firewalls are reported to be responsible for this particular problem. However, keep in mind that you can’t determine if your 3rd party firewall is to blame for the issue just by disabling it. With most security solution, the same rules will remain in place (ports will remain closed) even when the service associated with the firewall is closed.

In this case, the best way to determine if your 3rd party security solution is responsible for the issue is to uninstall it temporarily and see if the issue persists. You can use this guide (here) that you don’t leave behind any leftover rules that might still cause the issue.

If you are tech savvy, you can also access the Advanced Settings of your firewall and establish exceptions for the ports used by Rocket League. But keep in mind that the procedure will be different depending on which security suite you’re using. Here’s a list with ports used by Rocket League:

• TCP: 1935,3478-3480.
• UDP: 3074,3478-3479.

Once the exceptions have been established or the security solution uninstalled, restart your computer and see if the issue has been resolved.

Method 5: Forwarding the ports used by Rocket League

You might also be encountering the error because your router was not designed to allow incoming network requests. Some Rocket League players that we’re encountering the same issue have reported that they finally managed to resolve the issue by forwarding the ports used by Rocket League from their router’s settings.

This procedure will be slightly different according to your router manufacturer, but you should be able to get the job done by following the instructions below. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Access your router by tying it’s Ip address in any web browser that you have installed on your computer. For most routers, the default IP address is either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. If your case is different, search online for your router’s IP address.

   

2. Once you manage to reach the address of your router, enter your credentials to gain access to the setting options.  If you haven’t modified the default user & password, you can try using admin for the username. For password, try using admin, 1234 or leave the field blank. If these tricks don’t allow you to gain entry into your router’s settings, search online for the default credentials related to your router manufacturer & model.
3. Once you gain access to your router settings, make expand the Advanced menu your way to the NAT Forwarding (Port Forwarding) section.  Next, click on Virtual Servers and then click on Add to begin the process of adding your first port.
