Assetto Corsa v0.5 released

Tr3voRR · Jan 13, 2014

Update: v0.5 is now released. Find the patch notes here: http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/assetto-corsa-v0-5-released.80625/page-7#post-1618812

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15 cars left to get (well 16 with the LaFerrari, but this car will only be available with the 1.0 version of the game) so which ones are we getting friday ?! In theory we'll get 3 cars, but since we had a massive break we might get 4 like we did on Xmas. My guess is, we will get factory cars (bunch of Lotus's...) and none of the GT3's/1 GT2 or F1's.

The car I want the most is the T125 !!! release it already

Well guys and gals, lets share the car you wish on getting this friday and also what you believe will be release (it might not be the one you really expect yet).

I dont see any performance drop at all, But i have been running locked at 60fps.

3570K @4.8Ghz
GTX780 @1175
8Gb Ram

780 doesn't hurt...I'm sure that has something to do with it. I've noticed more folks with upper-end mid-grade cards are having more trouble.

0.5 review:

. 1M is for sure on my top 3 favourites

. I dont know what are the changes on the tyres model but the cars feel even better then before

. my 2 cores CPU cant handle 60 FPS with more then 5 AI's (just ordered a FX 6300)

. i managed to create myself some special events with only 5 cars and fixed setup ... and have been all night trying to finish 1st with 1M @ Imola on Hard Level and Fixed Setup and after 5 hours i finnaly did it

great fun driving with AI ... they are not perfect but i liked a lot (only tryed the E30 STD and 1M @ Imola)
i can imagine already how much fun AC is going to be with MP ... just fantastic
im loving it more and more on every new update

How did you create that event with only 5 cars?

ps: Ac is killing my spare time after work and forcing me into long nights (it's 6 am here...) but I assume I'm not the only one.....Time to go to bed, right Jorge?

At the moment the challenge of winning those events lies in the necessity to get through that pack of lunatics in just 5 laps and avoid getting hit, spun out and otherwise brutally murdered.

Couldn't have said it better. Not a big fan of AI racing, but i hope they tweak it to perfection until release, it will be important for sales.

just download and unrar this folder into " ... \assettocorsa\content\specialevents"
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57156690/Special Events/SPECIAL_EVENT_28.rar

this is 5 laps on Imola with 1M against 4 AI's ... no penalties and you cant change tyres or setup ... but you can just edit the file and costumize it

yes ... time to sleep my friend

Thanks Jorge. Didn't have time (and to be honest.... patience) to look at those files but now I see what you did there. Very simple to customize! ..... Your Sir, have good sleep!

Michael Hornbuckle · Jan 18, 2014

Very nice race event @Jorge Alves The AI seem to do dumb things on the first lap when they are all on top of each other but by lap 2 they are running pretty good....I chilled out behind them for the first lap, got a spot up to 4th on lap 2 and then lost it as I was barely catching 3rd place and pulling away from 5th.
I'm not an alien so they were plenty fast for me on alien difficulty.

Sebastian Wolff · Jan 18, 2014

Good stuff Jorge

I`m really happy with the update so far, but the collision physics need to be improved (keep getting stuck in the other cars).
Once you are in lap 2 or so it`s really fun racing with AI and trying to attack, but if you are too slow in a corner some Stefano or Riccardo will crash into you without hesitation

The 1M is glorious to just slide around in like a retard. I love it

Jorge Alves · Jan 18, 2014

The AI's drive a little bit crazy on lap 1 (especially on turns 1 and 2) but so do we (the non AI's) ... so in this aspect i think they are not so different from humans. Against this AI's i just have to drive like i do in MP events and just go easy on lap 1 waitting for things to calm down ... after 3 or 4 turns i can start to jump in.

One thing that i never liked on others games is that AI's are so predictable ... they act like robots and i can already tell before the race starts in what position i will finish but in AC with fixed setup i cant never tell cause AI is so impredictable (like humans) ... i can go in 3rd place with a good distance for 2nd and he can just make a mistake and i stay on his tail or overtake him ... or not

I also like the fact that they give you space on a turn and dont close your line ... and yes ... if i brake too early and the Ai is on my tail sometimes he bumps me but not allways (like some humans do)

AI's are not perfect but humans are not either and thats why i like to drive against this AI's ... i just have to be carefull cause they can do unexpected things like humans do ... maybe they are a bit too much agressive on turns 1 and 2 but at least they keep on track most of the times and i dont have to restart the race over and over like in public servers

There is a lot of room to improvement ... like Sebastian saiid collision physics need to be improved (i also got stuck on other cars sometimes) and there are some bugs already reported but in general i like it a lot ... doing the AI's impredictable and acting more like humans its a not a easy task for a developer but Kunos is getting there

Bryan O'Connor · Jan 18, 2014

Nice to see the AI locking wheels and missing chicanes etc. Haven't really seen that since ToCA World Touring Cars on PS1

Not finding too many problems, i don't mind being bumped etc too much atm, i would if i was racing in a career mode though

Penalty system is a bit **** though. But not sure what else can be done?

Hopefully this will be able to be disabled for private Multi player races.

I have a question since I do not own Assetto Corsa yet. However I don't want to stir up a dispute. But what can be said about quotes similar to: "since the last update, the handling of AC has changed from a Sim to the likes of GRID?"

I just want to read a few opinions about it, but please no discussions about it, if possible.

You can send me a pm too, if you wish so.

Thank you!

Fabrizio Corona · Jan 18, 2014

There's now less grip under acceleration and under braking, the rest is mostly the same, only for the better. I say that quote is b*llshit.

Requiem84 · Jan 18, 2014

The physics feel a bit more polished, and some of the understeer is mildly gone.

Changes are very subtle though. I doubt many of those guys who say 'Forza physics' know what they are saying.

And Marcel, how come you post SO much on this forum and don't own AC yet?

Scifo · Jan 18, 2014

Yesterday i was like: damn you stupid AI, ruining my race's.

Today i am outsmarting them

I always wanted to be a T1 hero. Look out for me online moehaha!!

Still cant win from Alien AI though

because I am interested in the development of AC, also I am looking forward to use it at some point in the future

Where has that quote come from please?

Well it's not an exact quote of what somebody else said, it is more likely a rehash of what has been posted, but at least similar things have been said on Steam, the comparison between a Simulator and GRID was there, also words like AC feels more "arcadish" now etc.

I will look it up... but it's going to take a while. I don't find the forums at Steam to be very user friendly.
