Why the Rocket League overlay runs on your PC, not online

Rocket League sends its match stats to a local address on the PC. A recent browser blocks an online website from reaching that address, so the overlay has to be served from your own PC, as local files.

  1. 01

    Open the configuration file

    In the game's install folder, under TAGame then Config, open DefaultStatsAPI.ini with administrator rights.

  2. 02

    Turn on stats sending

    Set PacketSendRate to 30. At 0, the game sends nothing and the overlay can't see the match.

  3. 03

    Restart the game

    The setting is read when Rocket League starts.

  4. 04

    Load the overlay locally

    Add the overlay page as a browser source using “Local file”, not an online address.
