• Fixes to game stability.
• Tweaks to accident/yellow-flag highlights.
• Fixed a bug of 'ghost cars' appearing in some cases in multiplayer highlights.

GRAPHICS:

• Added another AA method
• Temporal is now more effective against jaggies, while KTAA is more effective against ghosting.
• Revised steering animations on various cars to delay hands switching over too early.
• Fixed rim speed different from tyre speed.
• Fixed slow motion rim/tyre speed in replays.

MULTIPLAYER & RATINGS:

• Reduced the join lag when a new car model joins a session.
• Drivers cannot join ongoing race sessions anymore (server settings option "isRaceLocked").
• Fixed race track status not being properly reset after the race session.
• Changed the way backend systems store data, so data is still correctly saved even under high loads.
• Racecraft Rating calculations are temporarily suspended.
• Rating widget now will correctly detect reconnections. While disconnected, it will simply dissapear.
• Backend systems performance improvements.
• Advanced MP options: Fixed the slider weights for night and rain.
• Advanced MP options: Increased the significance of "clean": Users with higher SA won't see unrestricted servers anymore, unless "clean" is reduced below 50%.
• Advanced MP options: Increased the significance of "latency": Users with higher SA won't see unrestricted servers anymore, unless "clean" is reduced below 50%.
• Advanced MP options: Increased the significance of track weights, especially low values will massively rank down corresponding servers.
• Matching now (almost) ignores servers in race sessions, instead of ranking them down.
• Fixed CP servers not showing up for a number of user IP addresses.

PHYSICS & FFB:

• Force Feedback Post-Processing is now available like in the original Assetto Corsa
• Copy your "ff_post_process.ini" and associated LUTs to "Documents/Assetto Corsa Competizione/Config".

I think if you go to the server list, it shows you all that information but quick join doesn't, is that what you meant?

I meant that when I go to the server list I can't see how far into a session they are.
Not so important for practice and quali as you can just jump in to those, but the race session is locked so you don't know how far into it they are.

does it actually say, how far advanced the race session is? never looked for it, if they race already I don't join, but I don't think I've seen that specific bit of info anywhere.

It's not there. I'm sure I've seen it back in the day on older sims but can't remember which off the top of my head. If the race has begun you can't join apparently. Which is good as it stops the issue of lagging when new people join the server.

 

[T_rac3]

would it possible to show a bar chart of race session elapsed time

Under the server name (in server list) you will see 10' of 20'. Where 10 is the time passed and 20 is the race time. If I remember right

Ah... that's what it is. Thanks mate!

Usualy they say mod it till it breaks.

In this case it's more fix it till it brakes lmao

 

[erosshd]

I was a big hater of ACC for the no "competizione" in multiplayer, but I tried it another time and I can say that is worth to give another try. So if you have the game give it a try guys; the multiplayer is playable

 

[Alex Townsend]

Totally agree. Just make sure you race clean and fair, get your SA rating up over 75 and you'll usually be able to get in a server with clean racing like-minded racers

I've been unfortunate the last few nights and have ended up racing with idiots.

There is now a Countdown (not realitme (dynamic), you need to refresh) in the locked race session

Hello, I am talking to this great community as the last hope for a future genius of the lamp and the valid configuration for a ts-pc, for this update garbage.
Well, with version 1.0.1, an exquisite FFB very close to factor 2 was very happy and suddenly I find myself in this disaster and there is no plan to waste many other hours repairing a garbage to change it again.
The time was set, it was configured and it was corrected for a couple of hours and the result was painful, so I expect a genius who knows how to configure this.
sorry auto translate change

Can I just ask, is there such a huge gap in real life between the front of the grid and the rear? There does seem to be quite a large deficit to pole position and last.

At Paul Ricard 46 cars been within 2,8 seconds and 40 within 1,9 while 3 cars had problems during qualifying (P 47-49). The races are quite close at the front, so P1 to P15, while everything behind that start to spread after a few hours

 

[Giando Fraschini]

The last hotfix is a massive improvement. Done a couple of races online... and they were awesome.
Also, for the very first time, i am considering to choose ACC over AC to introduce the Oculus VR experience to some friends who never tested it before...

 

[Neils on Wheels]

looking forward to try this this evening, didi the AA improve for VR?

 

[Helmut Skrdla]

Tried a few more things, still confused how to save races mid-session. Anyone has that figured out?

Haven't tried yet, but from what i read here on the forums the "save game" button has disappeared from the menu opened by esc. This would mean one can only save after a session, which would be ok for sprint races but definitely not for endurance. There used to be a lemans 24h title ages back where you could only save while in pits. Maybe that?

 

[manu68]

It is indeed not very clear.
I gave it a try yesterday with the career mode.
Basically, after finish in a session, you just have to wait the next one started, then press escape and quit.
Then next time, go to carreer and press resume. You will be back to your saving point .

I am not sure but it may you bring back at any point where you saved the game within a session. Just tried quickly

Hola, estoy hablando con esta gran comunidad como la última esperanza de que algún genio saque al genio de la lámpara y me dé una configuración válida para un ts-pc, para esta basura de actualización.
Bien, con la versión 1.0.1, un FFB exquisito muy cercano al factor 2 fue muy feliz y de repente encuentro este desastre y no planeo perder muchas otras horas reparando una basura para cambiarla de nuevo.
He configurado el lut, lo he configurado y lo he probado durante un par de horas y el resultado es doloroso, así que espero a ese genio que sabe cómo configurar esto.

Hmmmm
Firstly English speaking forum, it's in the TOS

Secondly going on about garbage with regards to the updated 1.0.2 of this fine sim is hardly the way to induce assistance with your wheel. I'd search online first to seek settings. Or just return everything to default and see how that feels as my Fanatec CSW V1, an ageing piece of racing hardware works just fine without any LUT changes of any kind.

Hi, I have a problem with my logitech driving force pro steering wheel. I can't occupy anything except steering and throttle/brake. In the beta version I was able to occupy everything. How can that be?

There are different classes of driver and team and thus car in the way of set up too.

PRO = Factory teams and drivers, larger budgets, better mechanics and tacticians etc.

Silver Cup = Better than PROAM and AM but not as good as PRO. Popular amongst up and coming younger drivers. Silver license so well on their way to becoming professional racing drivers on a salary.

PROAM = A mix of Professional and Amateur drivers. Teams are usually heavily sponsored or using the drivers own money with potentially a bit of support from factories, please guys, correct me if I'm wrong here.

AM = Amateur drivers so young or well off older guys with money and a bit of sponsorship racing around trying to get noticed in order to pick up more sponsors etc.

I think that's it. But all cars are as equal as possible due to the BoP applied by SRO, (Stephane Ratel Organisation), the only differences you will see are the speeds of the drivers depending on their experience levels and also that of their teams. Mechanics etc will command different levels of salary depending on how good they are at their jobs. So the smaller teams may not be able to afford the top set up guys or the technical people or strategists etc.

The AA still is trash, all the other things in this sim are great!
Unreal Engine was a bad decission!
For me, still beta!
