As a video game of the people, Rocket League<\/a> listened and the time has come: custom tournaments’ spectator mode has been fixed on all platforms.<\/p>\n

In the latest patch notes, Psyonix detailed two changes which included the long-awaited fix which made community tournaments a nightmare for the creators.<\/p>\n

The outcry got increasingly impatient over the weeks, so much so that Twitch streamer ItzColdGaming<\/a> creating an alt Twitter account<\/a> that updated the car-soccer community every day if the mode had been fixed.<\/p>\n

It ran for three straight weeks tweeting out the word “No” and variants letting Psyonix have it when it came to fixing such a detrimental bug.<\/p>\n

Even Psyonix’s Senior Manager and Community Developer Devin Connors<\/a> was taking hits online for the broken feature that lasted a little over two months since the start of Season 3<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“The teams that make and release content are not the same teams that prioritize, triage, and fix bugs”, Connors replied<\/a> on 20th May to a player’s concern for spectator mode, hinting at this very patch<\/a>, mentioning he “hoped to have it fixed next week.”<\/p>\n

The patch notes for V1.98 also pointed out that a bug that caused players to become invisible during online gameplay has also been worked on and should no longer happen in any playlist.<\/p>\n
