Error 91 in Rocket League is commonly associated with the message “Server is from the wrong region. Please try again later.” This typically happens when you’re trying to create or join a private match, but it can also relate to general connection issues.
Here’s a breakdown of the causes and how to fix Error 91:
Primary Cause: Incorrect Server Region Selection (especially for Private Matches)
The most frequent reason for Error 91 is when the game’s region setting is set to “Recommended” or an incorrect region, particularly when attempting to create a private match. The “Recommended” setting sometimes misidentifies the optimal server or connects you to an overloaded one.
✅ How to Fix Error 91
1. Set Your Region Manually
Go into the Rocket League settings and avoid using “Recommended” for server region. Instead, select your exact region (e.g. Oceania) manually. Some players found that switching this setting resolved the issue.
2. Let Someone Else Host
A commonly effective workaround is to have another player host the match—even one in the same region. This seems to bypass the bug altogether.
📋 Quick Troubleshooting Table
| Problem | Action |
|---|---|
| Can’t start a Private Match | Switch region from “Recommended” to specific region |
| Hosting fails | Let someone else host the match |
💡 Additional Tips
While Error 91 is specific, some general fixes applicable to Rocket League connection errors include:
Verify game files (via Steam or Epic Game Launcher)
Restart your router or switch to wired Ethernet for a more stable connection
Check firewall/antivirus settings to ensure Rocket League is allowed
Clear game cache in
Documents\My Games\Rocket League\TAGame\Cache(delete files, then restart)
This advice is more generally relevant and associated with error codes similar to 88 and others, but may still help ensure a clean environment.

🧩 Why This Issue Happens
A recent patch appears to have introduced a server-region validation bug affecting private matches.
It may not affect all game modes—matchmaking in public playlists often still works.
Disabling “Recommended” region and switching hosts avoids the inconsistent validation for now.
🔄 What Post-Fix Steps to Try
Exit Rocket League fully.
Go to Settings → Matchmaking Region, change from Recommended to your fixed region.
Relaunch Rocket League and attempt a private match.
If it still fails, have another player host the game.
Make sure the game and platform are fully up to date.
