Assetto Corsa Competizione: Build 1.06 Now Available

[Paul Jeffrey]

Kunos Simulazioni have released a new update for Assetto Corsa Competizione.

Working at a solid pace in order to address some of the more prominent issues that have occurred with Assetto Corsa Competizione since the simulation first hit V1 release status back at the end of May, Kunos Simulazioni have once again deployed the update magic - releasing build 1.06 to Steam a few short hours ago.

Full update notes from the new build can be seen below.

Build 1.06 Update Notes:

GENERAL:

• Fixed a potential crash when resuming career and championship.
• Added first implementation of blue flags during qualifications.

Have you tried Joy to key for this? I have gear up/down set to "," and "." and then within J2k I assign those keyboard commands to both my paddles and shifter.

Yes you are correct...I forgot about that, thanks for the reminder...will try that now as I have the software installed.

Liking the updated 'Controls' menu, nicely laid out in my opinion...although it would be nice to have an extra 'Shift Up' and Shift Down' mapping like rFactor2 has for mapping 2 separate shifters at the same time ie Paddles and a stand alone USB Sequential Shifter.

rFactor 2 has this additional mapping for an extra stand alone shifter...awesome

I drive with a X Box One controller/gamepad (don't laugh). I would dearly love to know how to use the bindings. Simple things like look right and left (default is fine but I would like to change it). I have tried but no luck. Any one out there have any ideas?

I just double clicked with my mouse on the binding I wanted to map, quickly move the mouse off that binding square and click the joystick / button that I wanted to bind....had to do it 2-3 times sometimes to get it to work.

If I could see the future I'd drop sim racing, place a couple of good bets and enjoy the rest of my life on a beach somewhere

After 6 months you'd be bored and fed up of Marco strutting up and down the beach in a just tiny speedo's and aviators.

That boredom might lead you to try and launch your own console. Some say you've already had a few thoughts about the CatBox (TM) and even had some initial designs drawn up.

Added to that you'd just miss all of us, your 'fans', and our requests for more too much

Don’t all of the cars in this series use paddles anyway? Usually I agree that I like to be able to move without remapping from paddles to sequential Shifter in other sims that cover a wider range of cars. But ACC only simulates GT3s so it doesn’t seem necessary to me.

 

[Toonces]

Neither could they bring the full grid to the track even when they were adamant in simulating the entire Blancpain GT3 Championship to the game they called ACC.

Seriously, running a Spa 24H with 24ish cars? Ridiculous when you know in a few weeks they'll have 72 participants.

Is racing against 71 opponents better than racing against 23 opponents? Sounds to me more like the subway at rush hour.

 

[Jorge Villar]

is VR any better ? any way to get rid of the blurry image in VR ?

Last time someone complained about blurry image I asked him what pixel density was he running at, and he told me 90%.

[Dirk Steffen]

not really
It is primary something to do with the physics of the AI cars in SP which is something that also happened in AC.
Graphics and network bandwidth are also things to consider.

After a couple of years of Assetto Corsa with plenty of mods I really enjoy now and then to throw 60+ cars in a Nordschleife or Spa or Bathurst or Le Mans event and really like racing in the traffic.

It would be really nice if you could consider (once time permits to look into this) to allow an "EXPERIMENTAL USER SWITCH" where we could use certain deeper features at our own risk with the understanding that their function and performance is limited.
Some of us would be really happy to just try to run more than 30 cars in a grid.

In Endurance racing, it's definitely a lot better as it is part of the experience and ambiance.

What I love of ACC is the way it stimulates GT3 series so good...I will never race a GT3 on ACC as in real life!
Game still doesn't work for me, no matter how many hotfix they released since V1.0...

If you are at Spa (a relatively long track) and most of the competition is within a second or two of one another then 23 opponents makes for lonely racing once you get past the first couple of laps. Everyone is spaced out running their own clean race and it takes an hour or two before people start lapping the field.

Doesnt work for some reason in particular or you expect a solution with just a "doesnt work" ?

 

[FernandoAFM]

I really want to get ACC but I heard VR optimization is terrible. And sadly my current room setup only works with VR sims.

 

[DaVeX↯]

There isn't a reason or better...I can't find one.
Before V1.0 I was able to race but now, no matter what (I tried everything) it freezes or crash....

You must have a corrupted file or something. Verify your game install files on steam. If that doesn't work delete it and reinstall.
The game works on my weak 1050ti, not great but that's on me and my hardware, not Kunos.

Shot in the dark Have you tried a complete reinstall? Also deleting everything game related before the new install

Yep, tried some ancient voodoo techniques too
To be honest I am sitting and waiting now, happened the same with some other Unreal based games...after a dozen of patches they started to work again...

Hi guys,

today i continued my championship @Paul Ricard
It was an endurance race which i set for 1hour.
In the race i was forced to do a driver swap every 10 minutes (this IS a bug isn´t it ?) So i had 6 stints BUT the AI did not. I believe the AI was 3 or 4 times at the box..... WTF
This i definetly the next championship braker I just thrown away another hour of my time
Kunos you made this fascinating game which makes so much fun to drive, but this game is NEVER at the status to be realeased as 1.0 version. No way..... we have already 1.6 and in someways the game is still beta
I am frustrated - next Assetto Game game i will buy 1 year later

sorry for my english
