 - All Stats: All in-game notifications are displayed.

- Input Buffer option added to the Gameplay Options menu for controlling which method the game uses to send your gameplay inputs to our servers. These methods are:

 Legacy - The default option used since Rocket League launched.

 STS (Sim Time Scaling) - This allows the game server to instruct your client to very subtly speed up or slow down in order to maintain a smooth input stream.

 CSTS (Continuous Sim Time Scaling) - A more aggressive version of STS that uses a continuous feedback loop to determine game speed.

- Both STS and CSTS are newer strategies for latency mitigation that may be more effective for players with connectivity issues, spotty Wifi, etc. than the Legacy method.

- If you experience connectivity issues during a match, you should try switching from Legacy to STS or CSTS. If you see no improvement, change back to Legacy.
