ACC not creating DSS_1 files

[mcjbaxter]

Hi all,

General question about skin creation. I've designed skins for multiple cars in ACC and usually it makes two DDS files .dds and .dds_1 - Since the 1.9 update when I've made a skin and loaded it into ACC it's created the DDS file for the showroom but taking it out on track to make sure I have DDS_1 in the folders it hasn't been creating it but the car loads into the session just fine in single player and fine for me in multiplayer.

I have the "texDDS" set to "1" so it should be creating it but it isn't
Not sure if this is important but I switch to making designs in Illustrator because it exports better with less artifacts. I've done an export in Illustrator and in Photoshop and it seems to be having the same issue.

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

You can let Race Element generate the DDS 1 files for you, a button will show up for each livery that doesn't have them, or you can bulk generate them:

I know that this is old topic but I found the fix - set texCap to 1

what is the purpose of DDS?

what is the purpose of DDS?

The .png files and it's compression isn't suitable for usage as a texture in a 3d environment. Here is where DDS(DirectDraw Surface) comes in which uses S3 Texture Compression. The graphics card is able to handle the compression of this file format on a hardware level, so it's simply quicker than letting the cpu deal with the decompression of a .png file.
