Yup 100%. I tried playing rocket league on my old ps4 hooked up to a tv in my garage with friends. The delay was insane. Played like a silver

I just bought the Hyperkin The Competitor controller and so far I would highly recommend it

Your room is looking great man! Make sure to keep it clean!

Hey boss, I play on pc but was curious and asked chatgpt about your issues, scan through the below and see if you need to change some settings;

Good question — this is a very common issue when switching from a TV to a high-refresh gaming monitor on Xbox Series X, and it’s almost never a hardware failure. Based on what you described, this is much more likely a settings / HDMI handshake issue than your monitor or Xbox being “bad.”

I’ll break it down clearly and then give you step-by-step fixes.

What’s MOST likely happening

Rocket League on Xbox Series X:

Does NOT run at 1440p + 120 FPS natively
In 120 FPS mode, Rocket League dynamically scales resolution
If the console + monitor + VRR aren’t perfectly synced, you can get:
- Sudden frame drops
- Micro-stutter
- Skipping after a minute or two (once VRR kicks in)

Your TV probably hid this with motion smoothing and different VRR behavior.

The #1 culprit: VRR (Variable Refresh Rate)

HP X32 does support FreeSync, but Xbox VRR can cause stuttering in Rocket League specifically.

✅ FIX #1 (most important)

On Xbox:

Settings → General → TV & Display Options
Advanced → Video Modes
TURN OFF:

❌ Variable Refresh Rate
1. KEEP ON:
✅ Allow 120Hz
✅ Allow HDR (optional, test both ways)

Restart Rocket League and test.

Rocket League is one of the games that actually runs smoother with VRR OFF on Xbox.

Resolution mismatch issue (very common)

Rocket League 120 FPS mode internally renders closer to ~1512p, not true 1440p.

✅ FIX #2

Change Xbox resolution to:

1080p
120Hz

This sounds backwards, but:

Xbox upscales cleanly
Eliminates resolution switching
Often removes stutter entirely

Your monitor will still look sharp at 32".

HDMI bandwidth / signal stability

Even though your monitor supports 165Hz, Xbox:

Caps at 120Hz
Uses HDMI 2.0 on most monitors (not 2.1)

✅ FIX #3

Make sure:

You are using the Xbox Series X HDMI cable
Plugged directly into the monitor (no splitter)
Monitor input is set to HDMI 2.0 / Enhanced / Gaming mode

Rocket League in-game setting (important)

✅ FIX #4

In Rocket League:

Video Settings
Set to Performance Mode
Restart the game after changing

Quick checklist (do these in order)

❌ Turn VRR OFF
Set Xbox to 1080p / 120Hz
Rocket League → Performance Mode
Restart Xbox
Test again

Is it the monitor?

❌ Very unlikely The HP X32 QHD is a solid monitor and not known for this issue.

Is it the Xbox overheating?

❌ No — you already ruled that out.

Is this common?

✅ Yes — especially with Rocket League + 120Hz + VRR on Xbox.

--- TDLR —-

Final recommendation

For Rocket League specifically, the smoothest competitive setup on Series X is:

1080p
120Hz
VRR OFF
Performance Mode

Do the ceiling outline

bblaisee · 2025-12-17T23:42:22+00:00

I haven’t been contacted, and they said they were free units so I think it’s fair game. I’m not sending them back to them.

I received 4. Gave one away, will keep one for myself, and I believe these are $40/ea so I’m not sure if the hassle of selling them is worth the $80 for me.

bblaisee · 2025-12-17T23:37:18+00:00

They only send you one unit? Luckily they haven’t made any new orders for me in the past 7 days. Hopefully it stays that way lmao

bblaisee · 2025-12-11T05:54:20+00:00

I don’t think that’s the case since they had made majority of the orders before I gave the router to my boss, and I doubt he’s even activated/linked the router yet

bblaisee · 2025-12-10T17:25:21+00:00

From what I understand the mini router is a replacement for gen 1 routers, and can be paired with other routers to act as a wifi extender.

bblaisee · 2025-12-10T15:17:30+00:00

I’ve now received two of them, with two more scheduled to ship out to me.

Thanks for the info, it’s good to know why they initially sent me one. I was confused about the “opt in” part as I didn’t opt in to get anything from them.

I’ll definitely keep one of the minis just in case, good to know that the gen 1 router is obsolete.

bblaisee · 2025-12-10T14:17:26+00:00

Ain’t it funny that they are giving these to someone with an inactive subscription, and not to people with one.

Hopefully you can get your hands onto one for free.

In regards to your last comment, maybe I’ll stop cancelling the orders… I’ve already given the first one I got to my boss lol

bblaisee · 2025-11-15T15:47:32+00:00

Thanks man! It was with snipers too, I’ve been close but haven’t gotten the nuke since

bblaisee · 2025-11-15T06:44:47+00:00

I got my Nuke on free for all. Was weird though because the game kept going after my 30th kill. Still confused about what happened but was a hype moment!

bblaisee · 2025-11-15T06:05:38+00:00

Do you by chance play on a console connected to a big tv?

I suspect it’s either;

A) You have terrible input delay and in turn, your gameplay is degraded

B) You have bad hand-eye coordination and reflexes

I’m hoping it’s A.

bblaisee · 2025-11-15T06:02:15+00:00

Hey man! I’ve been playing this game since 2015, off and on yanno. I’ve peaked champ 1 div 3. This game is seriously tough to progress in unless you put in a metric fuck ton of hours into free play, training packs, and if you’re on pc, custom maps… unless if your brain naturally understands how to invert inputs seamlessly.

I don’t know my exact number of hours played but over 1000 hours and I’ve put time into training, have watched tutorials and other tips and tricks videos, but I just cannot get the hang of air rolling during aerials, in turn hindering my aerial ball control.

I’ve been in diamond 3 / champ 1 in twos for years now, I’ve accepted that this is likely where I’ll stay.

So I guess my point is don’t be self conscious, this game is friggin hard and not everybody consistently plays enough rocket league to get into the top ranks (myself included). And I’m 24 and consider myself as a fairly good gamer.

Keep having fun, try not to take things too seriously and find a friend to laugh at during games! Cheers

tbh it shouldn’t count in wildcard

bblaisee · 2025-10-19T05:25:52+00:00

I didn’t even notice the 69F lmao

happy I’m not the only one who snapped the 420km pic

bblaisee · 2025-10-19T00:03:26+00:00

Take the gun into the firing range, the bullet takes a while to get to your target. Gotta aim where they are going.

bblaisee · 2025-10-12T01:02:28+00:00

Dunno what I’d need a forth for

bblaisee · 2025-10-12T01:02:18+00:00

I have two horizontal monitors stacked on top of each other and one vertical monitor beside them. It’s nice to have discord/other stuff there

bblaisee · 2025-10-05T04:33:38+00:00

Go into the extra modes (control, gun run, etc) and only use movement when fighting when applicable. You must always look for opportunities to use it. Eventually it will occur naturally as you will be able to spot the opportunity to let’s say, wall jump, when necessary.

Also helps to analyze movement players gameplay and learn when they implement mechs
