ACC: Multiplayer Fixes on Route - Online Servers Down

[Paul Jeffrey]

Kunos confirm multiplayer fixes are on the way, online servers temporarily disabled.

Assetto Corsa Competizione release three brought plenty of new goodies, including a very basic first pass at multiplayer, however it seems like some unintended problems have arisen that has led Kunos Simulazioni to remove server access until the end of the coming weekend.

As can be expected with such a sizable new build, on a game engine brand new to the development team, these sorts of issues can very easily arise and cause more issues than initially expected. What is good news is that Kunos have acknowledged the issues, and appear to be hard at work making the appropriate adjustments to the title as they strive to achieve a more stable and performance friendly build version.

You can check out the full statement from Kunos below:

Dear ACC racers, we're looking after you...

We finally released the 0.3 release of our Steam Early Access programme for Assetto Corsa Competizione on schedule, including the Practice Session in Multiplayer mode, which allows us to stress test our systems as a first step of the multiplayer experience we are building.

You can probably imagine how much stability difference there is when moving from a reasonable amount of beta testers to thousands of simultaneous players: nothing unexpected on our side.

Here at KUNOS, developers have been working on the server backend since the night of the release, and we would like to ask for your patience regarding some global server downtime until the end of the weekend, while we will keep tuning the system to give more stability for your Multiplayer racing experience.​

Online multiplayer is expected to return to the title from next week, however please be prepared for further delays if the studio believe it necessary in order to get to the bottom of the current issues.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available on Steam Early Access now.

Check out the Assetto Corsa Competizione forum here at RaceDepartment for the latest news and discussions regarding this exciting sim. We intend to host some quality League and Club Racing events as well as hosting some great community created mods (we hope!). Join in the discussion today.

Sure. Let's just suffocate this baby in its infancy and move on to AC2 brahhhhhh

Some of the folders in the game is actually called AC2

 

[69Harder]

There is still room for ACC in the category Failed games

You clearly have zero knowledge about Kunos !

It's funny to read some people destroying a game which is in Early Access state, before playing the actual release version and judge a finished product.

You have just expected something different from Kunos, maybe that's why some are pissed off?

A first taste of ACC 0.3 EA today makes me wonder. It runs smooth, nice and Deadzone is fixed - I complain this a lot with other guys, DZ now works fine but I‘m banned from Kunos Forum nm -> mission complete!

Have also fun you lovley simmer folk and don‘t forget to post the important things here on the free and undependend RD pages.

Well, I think ACC is doing pretty well, although it still doesn't have TrackIR support but already has VR support. For an Early Access game, I'm very pleased with what I'm seeing.
Yesterday did two 30 min races on new circuit and it was a blast (too bad the AI is still ramming, may have to adjust aggression, but I guess it mimics what we see on MP races anyway)

Considering how much we still have to go before even a Beta status, all things point to a bright future for this title.

Maybe read the label before you buy something next time.

Owner of AC, but ACC was canceled after 1 month and 1 hour of play

And as a developer, very conscious of what EA means, but I would be embarrassed to deliver a product on such a stand

If the EA status of ACC puts you of quality wise, then there must not be many finished products in the gaming industry that will get your blessing. Fine I guess.

Right, the rF2 fanboys who hate Kunos department of the internet. Gotcha.

I'm just disappointed with what Kunos is pulling off. Presumably those bribed by Nvidia were to sell RTX

I don't have VR, nor triple-screen, nor RTX and I'm enjoying ACC quite a bit. Obviously that doesn't make me salty cause ACC is not delivering the exact thing that some nichemarket of the already quite niche market of simracers wants raaight naow!.

I'm just enjoying the game, just like FO76, another game that is being hated upon by people who can't read the label and just hate for the sake of hating.

Being dissapointed is another thing, but it never was going to be more than a Blancpain game, so if your expectations were more than that you just misread the label.

The game's executable is called AC2.

yes, I understand, you're just a gamer, not a simfan

If I had to judge a game as "deceased", I would wait to see how the final version is, first.
People who buy an Early Access should be aware of the possibility the state of game they play, ain't exactly what they would expect it to be, wrongly thinking it's almost finished just because the graphics look good. We are public paying betatesters, but at least we can achieve three objectives:
1) test the game before the release date, give a direct feedback and see the improvements.
2) help the devs to solve the issues faster and release the 1.0 version with as less bugs as possible.
3) we pay the half of the price for the game.

There really should be a "rolls eyes" rating for the comments, not just "disagree".

Exactly and you need a Gazillion mods to even make it work properly

Well Well Well !
There ya see

Kunos way of hinting
