"The maintenance we did on Thursday was a PsyNet upgrade, moving to a new version of MySQL (database management system), this is where we are having issues at the moment".

"What that means is the game servers are fine, but we are having trouble with 1) putting players into servers, and 2) other services that call into PsyNet (updating XP after a match, Challenges, Item Shop, etc.) In a message to players on the Rocket League Discord, a developer from Psyonix explained that they weren't a server problem, but a PsyNet problem: Last night though, the on-again off-again servers finally seemed to be sorted: "Thank you for your patience this weekend, and we're sorry for the downtime," Psyonix said in their last tweet, but what went wrong? Except it wasn't properly fixed, because this continued to happen multiple times on Saturday and Sunday.
#Rocket league discord update
This update had broken something somehow, as the Rocket League devs took to Twitter on Friday to inform players they were investigating "server access issues" - then a short while later players were informed it was all fixed. It all started on Thursday, after what seemed to be a regular maintenance update to PsyNet (the network that connects players across platforms in Rocket League). It couldn't have come at a more inconvenient time either, as the issues caused a bunch of official esports matches to be pushed back, too. Because of some weird technical difficulties, players were removed from the game's servers while it was put into "maintenance mode" on and off over the last few days. If you couldn't get into a game of Rocket League over the weekend, you're not alone.
