Assetto Corsa Competizione: Release 6 Previews

[Paul Jeffrey]

Kunos Simulazioni have been busy teasing the upcoming 'release 6' for Assetto Corsa Competizione recently.

Delayed somewhat from the original schedule, release 6 of Assetto Corsa Competizione will obviously include plenty of as yet unknown fixes and improvements as it nears a full version 1 release status, however more about that on release day - for now let us focus on the things we know about the upcoming build update...

Thankfully to help ease some of the waiting for the new build, Kunos have dropped a few nice teaser images from the fresh content set to appear in ACC, both the Monza circuit and the very awesome Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3. Coming compete with the 2015 and 2018 version of the car, you can check them out in these spectacular screenshots below.

Oh, did we mention something about Motec support too...?

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

I can't see my mirrors with my fov so will that still have effect?

Yes.
Its still being rendered.
Even if you can't see the mirrors.

Developers suggest putting mirror quality at LOW.

If you pause in game. Go to graphics settings you can see in real time what fps any of the changes do.

At moment mirrors kill performance more than any other setting.

Mirrors, I still waiting to hear them utter "Ray Tracing" .......oh wait ................you brought a RTX for sims dummy ... lol

It's on the list if that makes you sleep better at night.

For a game that is due to release at the end of the month you guys have one hell of a long list. Good luck.

The game is gorgeous but one thing keeps ruining the experience. After first qualy or after first race, I cannot continue because engine is not running and cannot be started. So race is over...

Do you drive and stop in the pits at the end of the session when this happens? (BTW while we fix this, you can temporarily work around this by setting manual starter during the new session via the pause menu).

Thanks for the reply. I have bound ignition and engine start but when I press the button only ignition sound can be heard but the engine wouldn't start.
And it occurs right after I press next session. Engine is not running and I cannot start.

Hang on, so you have manual engine starter set? In this case, turn on the ignition (default shift+I) and then start the engine (default S, press long).

I'll give it a try after work.

So I'm back home and playing ACC. After three races, finishing the first race session I press "NEXT SESSION" and the car is on the grid with engine off. I've tried shift+I and pressing "S" long, but only ignition sound and engine stays off. It's a big issue, since one cannot start the second race.
The only thing I could do is quit race.

Go on official AC forum, and report an issue! Its so pointless to say that here! And that goes for 80% of you other guys. Go there and say whats your issue, only this way Kunos and company can FIX it. Is this so hard to get it? Please.

Anyway, Game is Great, I like it, it has some minor bugs or issues (yes, I reported what I found and was worth mentioning), but I`m sure Kunos will fix all that eventually.

I've had the same issue yesterday. Mapped both ignition and starter on my wheel. Formation lap starts, I press ignition, then starter, I hear the starter sound, but the engine doesn't start. Tried several times in a row, didn't help, never was able to get the engine running. Tried restarting the race a few times, didn't help. So I switched back to the engine auto start to be able to race.

I assumed I was doing something wrong, but maybe not?

You should really report this over at the official forums but could you please tell me all of your assist settings? Gearbox, clutch, engine start etc. Thanks.

Which is more frustrating that I set engine autostart and still it doesn't start.

No assists (at that point), everything manual. Tried it both in neutral and in first with clutch in (obviously). I'll see if I can replicate it.

OK, this will sound really dumb, but I think I might've been pushing the wrong button for ignition... I just realized this as I was trying to recreate the issue. I didn't realize the wrong button would result in driver animation as well (I don't have that button mapped to any action in the game, but I do use it via Joy2Key, so the keys I have mapped to it probably do something in the game without me realizing).

But the starter sound can be heard when you press the starter button even if the ignition is off, which is a bit confusing.
