Try to launch Rocket League using the "Run As Administrator" option when you right-click on the launch file.
Verify the integrity of your game files (check for possible corrupt files, incorrectly installed updates, errors on your HDD). To do this:
- Open your Steam Library and right click on Rocket League.
- Select Properties, followed with Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
- Attempt to launch Rocket League again.
- Additionally, try renaming your Rocket League files folder to "Rocket League Old" or something similar, this can trick the game into verifying.
- If none of the above works, delete the file "d3d9.dll", this file sometimes gets put in the wrong folder, and will be reinstalled when you boot the game after deleting it.

Make sure everything is updated, including your graphics card driver, Rocket League, your operating system, and Steam.
Try running the game in a different compatibility mode.
Try disabling the overlay feature in Steam.

Hopefully something in this long list of possible fixes will do the trick for you. It can be awfully annoying for players when Rocket League won't start, so we wish you the very best.
