Assetto Corsa Competizione: First Nissan and Monza Preview

[Paul Jeffrey]

Marco Massarutto has shown a first preview of the upcoming Nissan Nismo GT-R GT3 that is set to form part of the new ACC Release 6 content update.

Having initially delayed the launch of the new update to later this week, Assetto Corsa Competizione fans don't have to hold off now until the Nismo GT-R GT3 and Monza circuit are released. As well as the content, the upcoming build will of course also contain a range of fixes and improvements to the increasingly impressive Early Access title - all of which will be revealed in good time when Kunos hit that deployment button on Steam!

Not long to go now folks...

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available on Steam Early Access now. Currently at build release 5 status.

To keep abreast of all the latest news and discussions from the world of Assetto Corsa Competizione then don't forget to check out our very own ACC sub forum here at RaceDepartment.

The delay is one thing, holding complete radio silence about it is what bothers me much more.

A simple explanation would take maybe 5 minutes tops. Right now Kunos is letting everyone and their dog think of anything that could explain why they went silent, and none of them are going to help their otherwhise pretty good image. For a game that is bigger in scope than they ever made and has an official license this is questionable.

Even on the official ACC forums of Kunos themselves people lose their patience with this radio silence, not necessary with the delay itself.

Maybe they're you know...busy working on the game!? They detailed the reasoning for the Multiplayer code rewrite, they've had the odd post on the official forums both last week and this week, they don't owe it to you or me or anyone to keep us updated every other day.
Let them do what they need to do and when they're ready to speak they will.

No doubt they're busy with their game, thinking they aren't would be ridiculous, but don't tell me they can't let someone spend 5 minutes to explain the update didn't come on the most expected day of the week cause of this or that reason.

What possible delay could they cause themselves from someone doing that for a few minutes and then continue with whatever they were doing.

 

[Christoph Laux]

Maybe they wait a day longer to put the NSX in!

 

[sissydriver]

when they say "next week" then (for me) it was clear that release is not on wednesday. when it was planned to release wednesday they would have said so.

This week is clearly not over, they don't need to tell you that surely!?

Dear ACC users,

We would like to share some updates on the current situation of the next version of ACC: Early Access 6th release. Our development team is still working hard to close the current stage of the refactoring operation we announced after our previous release. Since there are also new features coming together with the content update that includes the two Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 cars and Monza Circuit, such camera updates, telemetry features, netcode improvements, CPU optimisations etc., we prefer to take the right amount of time to deliver a stable package. Our plan currently is to release when we feel comfortable showcasing the current stage of development to the general public.

Our progress to version 1.0 and beyond will be explained during the following weeks, and we have some interesting and unexpected news coming pretty soon, but since this is the last scheduled update of the Early Access Programme, we would like to offer a solid update while waiting for what is to come.

We would like to use this opportunity to say our thanks regarding your feedback on our official forums and your patience to prefer to wait for a solid update rather than a fast one.

^^ enough said, back to AC + SOL and the GT3 mods that compliment the entire Blancpain grid ACC has anyway all at +60fps in-between RF2 that's better than both haha

 

[Koen Verlinde]

There you go, they took 5 minutes to explain something, certainly that wasn't so hard.

Compared to almost any other racing game like iRacing, rF2, Raceroom and pCars2 the communication from the ACCs devs is much more professionel and by all means very descriptive.
iRacing and rF2 is partly acceptable while Raceroom and pCars2 does almost cheat on customers by some vague hints of whats (probably) comming next (soon©).
So eventhough my copy of ACC collects dust in my dresser (because of the lousy tire model(IMO!) I dont think the critique from ACC customers about this delay is fair.
Its pretty explainable and above all to anticipate in this EA phase.

Happy now?

 

[Koen Verlinde]

Happy now?

Yes, I'm really not hard to please you know.

unplayable with my 1060 ...
unplayable with my triple screen ...

finally the early access made me a great service: as I never buy a game in EA, I wanted to wait for version 1.0 (that I have taken the eyes closed) and now, I know that this app is not done for me (and my material: D) and that I can keep my 45 euros for another product ^^

Can anyone tell me where this "Not long to go now folks...-Post" is from?

I have a 1060 6GB and it runs just fine, what exactly is the problem you're having?

 

[David Wright]

I'm harder to please. The "announcement" just tells me they don't know when it will be released. It doesn't even say it won't be released this week.

Probably means that the 1060 is dying with the triple's resolution at high settings and that there's no angle-correction yet.
Have to say my 1070 is on the edge at 3440x1440, 60 fps, rain + full grid (only 10 cars visible). But so is my old trusty i7 2600k.

Give Kunos your number, I'm sure Marco will call you directly next time you don't know where to look for information.

Hello,

my problem was:

-30-40 fps with minimum settings, no opponents and no weather conditions with falls to 15-20 FPS in some turns and with all the graphics at least it's just very very ugly.
-not playable by adding opponents or putting weather conditions such as rain etc (15-20fps average)

I like to play my games online between 90 and 120 fps without any framerate drop and unfortunately on ACC triple screen is just impossible for me ...

I may try again the day I buy a new computer

have fun and a nice day

edit : yes @RasmusP, you have put the finger on my problem

I don't know... OK, they explained what's going on.
Anyway.. they promised next week. Now they are saying "when we feel comfortable..." I will translate that to you: Two weeks, or a month...and? Any problem?
Again... I'm dissapointed because either the Godzilla and Monza was already done back in September.

Can you quote me the "promise" bit?

Like "We promise you it will be ready next week"?
