Assetto Corsa Competizione V1.0.5 Released

Paul Jeffrey · Jul 4, 2019

The latest new build of Assetto Corsa Competizione is here - with plenty of multiplayer fixes included.

Firmly looking to address some of the online multiplayer issues that have arisen since Assetto Corsa Competizione dropped into full V1 release earlier this year, the new 1.0.5 build of the official Blancpain GT Series racing simulation is live and available to download next time you start your Steam client.

Although online multiplayer is by far the dominant focus of this new build, other small updates and improvements across the game have made it into the update, including the welcome tyre wear pitstop bug that affected some players in longer distance races.

ACC Build 1.0.5 Update Notes:

GENERAL:

Potential fix for failure to start the game with a particular combination of characters in the username.
Added logs for autosave replay issue.

RATING & MULTIPLAYER:

Minor changes to the server ping system.
Fixed CP servers memorizing disconnected users in certain situations.
Added 2nd results json file (via dumpLeaderboards) that contains more information.
Enabled Lumirank display in Multiplayer.
(Slightly) reduced amount of necessary netcode packets, especially while other cars are changing setups.
Fixed server trying to connect to the secondary lobby backend first.
Race weekend resets now reset the track grip as intended again.
Added configuration option "randomizeTrackWhenEmpty".
Added "forceEntryList" option for non-public servers.
Fixed "maxClientsOverride" not working as indented, including the calculation for spectator slots left on busy servers.
Improved "/next" admin command, which now always forces the end of the session instead of skipping to the next one.
Race weekend simulation now allows to chain sessions, so the weather and track condition will just carry over.
CP Servers will now chain the Qualifying session into the Race session, so the starting conditions are well known.
Teleports of own car will now re-focus it in the last drivable camera.
The initial CP Rating (until a certain amount of races/positions have been completed) changed. Winning points will move the CP Rating more directly to the target, while losing only gives a comparably tiny progress.
Improved backend stability, moved one in-memory cache layer to hard disk.
Server now creates the required folders if necessary.
The Pitstop MFD can now be used in FP and Q while driving in a team, allowing swaps in all session types.
Updated Server Admin Handbook v2 to cover: "Custom cars", "overrideCarModelForCustomCar", "customCar"; "forceEntryList"; "randomizeTrackWhenEmpty"
Fixed setup and timing serialization in driver swap situations. The car taking over should now be able to use the Pitstop MFD as intended.

GAMEPLAY:

Fixed tyre wear incorrectly resetting in pit stops.

UI:

Fixed issues with rebinding an existing control and saving presets.

AUDIO:

Audio scale improvements.

PHYSICS:

Fixed Mercedes engine damage raising too much at engine limiter. Additional damage tweaks for Audi R8, Lamborghini Huracán and BMW M6.
Fixed Honda NSX too high fuel consumption.
Honda NSX AI tweaks.
Fixed missing Porsche aggressive Nurburgring setup.
Fixed astroturf grip level at some locations on Spa.

AI:

Improved AI movement when they are on the outside.

interesting News from the kunos Forum (date: yesterday):
"On the basis of @Minolin's predictions regarding backend changes (you can read them here), we'll be giving you some insight into what we're currently focusing on, so that you can align your expectations and have a bit more insight into the development process.
These are not preliminary changelogs, just an idea of what we're currently working on. Nor is this a comprehensive list of everything in progress.
The thread will not be open to discussion. It also does not include features that are early in development or that we are still not confident about.
Furthermore, releasing a stable and functioning build has its own development and testing cycle, and the more additions it has, the more likely it is to prolong these cycles.
Smaller fixes:
- most importantly, we have fixed the crashes when resuming championship and career, this is expected to release in the next hotfix
- complete rework of the Multiplayer chat window and making it accessible outside of the HUD
- QoL changes in the HUD and MFD
More significant updates:
- tyre model update to improve kerb-riding - there are very positive developments in this regard
- reintroduction of mid-session saving and loading multiple saved games - this is our main focus generally speaking (bold lettering by me)
- issues related to gameplay logic, especially hotstints
- we are constantly looking into performance and VR implementation, however this is going through multiple 3rd parties and their plugins, which makes any progress slow
