Feeling Blocked? Here’s How to Easily Solve Rocket League’s Server Region Error for Smooth Private Matches
Private games in Rocket League are fun—until an error pops up. When you see, “Server is from the wrong region. Please try again later. Error Code 91,” it means something went wrong with server setup for your custom match. This stops you from playing with friends across different locations. But there’s a simple way to solve it, and you don’t need to be a tech expert.
What Causes Error 91 in Rocket League?
Error 91 shows up when starting a private match and the game can’t pick a server region that works for everyone.
By default, Rocket League often puts server selection on “Automatic” or “Recommended”, and that can sometimes lead to mismatched regions, especially when your group is spread out globally.
If players come from different regions, the game may fail to select a server that works for all, throwing up this error instead.
Simple Steps to Fix Error Code 91
You can get past this quickly by setting the server region manually. Here’s how:
- Open Rocket League and wait for the main menu.
- Tap Play, then choose Private Match (under Custom Games).
- Click Create Private Match.
- Find the server setting—by default, it’s probably set to “Recommended” or “Automatic”. Change this to the region that matches where you are (like “Europe”, “US East”, “Asia”, etc.).
- Click Create Match to start your private game.
If players are in different places, pick the region that’s closest to most of you for the smoothest matches.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you still get the error, restart Rocket League and try creating the private match again with the region set to your area.
Sometimes, letting a different friend host the match can also help, especially if your connection is unstable.
For extra stability, use a wired internet connection if possible instead of Wi-Fi.
Avoid “Automatic” or “Recommended” settings when hosting private matches. They can cause these errors, so always set a specific region manually.
If you change the region but things still don’t work, exit Rocket League fully, reopen it, and try again.
Summary
This error blocks private games because Rocket League can’t figure out a common server.
The fastest way to fix it: Manually select your region in the private match settings.
If it’s still not working, restart the game or switch hosts.
This method works fast for most players, letting you get back to playing Rocket League with your friends, no matter where you are in the world.
Bonus Tip: Choose regions with the lowest latency for everyone playing. Laggy games aren’t fun, so picking the best region boosts everyone’s enjoyment.
