Some Possible Workarounds:

• First, ensure that your internet connection is working fine.
• Make sure that your wired connection is running well. For the Wi-Fi users, check the router/modem properly.
• Try to log out from the game account and restart your PC. Then try running the game again.
• You can also use a VPN service on your PC in order to change the region or server to check for the issue.
• Make sure to update your Rocket League game along with the game launcher (if any).
• You can also check updates for the Windows OS, GPU driver, etc.
• Additionally, PC users can also whitelist the Epic Games Launcher and the installed Rocket League game folder to the Windows Firewall and Windows Defender application. (If you’re using any third-party antivirus app, do the same)
