Why does it say changes to 1.0.5 RC when my game says 1.0.4 RC after update?

I think the 1.0.4 is the one that came out earlier, was over 100mb and the one after it ~50mb which is 1.0.5 but they probably forgot to change the version name ingame.

Mine does too, no idea.

Sounds reasonable.

mod-edit: consolidated for you, please keep the forum tidy

 

[RaceNut]

You might try restarting Steam or Verify Game Cache Integrity - may trigger the 1.0.5 update.

 

[bazingaracer]

That's obvious I know. The .bak extension negates the reverb.ini from working. But if you look at the files audio_sources.ini indicated in the tracks folder, the reverb enabled is still 0, even after reverb.ini.bak is renamed. I tried changing the file quoted to =1 and it made no difference.

Well,
deleted bak extension, got it back renamed to reverb.ini
inside track folders/audio_sources changed reverb enabled=1
Still the sound is not even close from what it was with 1.0 RC, in fact I cant hear any kind of reverb with the current build. Obviously this with my stereo Sennheiser headphones and my Xonar soundcard.
However I am having the impression that the sound with this build is a better in general and in particular with LaFerrari.
About 12C GT3 can you (Kunos) please put the sound as it was before 1.0 RC? Was one of the best sounds in AC and now it is ruined, it sound like a electrical engine.

 

[MeMyselfAndI]

They still did not enable the reverb in 1.0.4 -1.0.5 right?

 

[bazingaracer]

I believe not.
I have the build 1.0.4 and I have the game updated.
Probably the confusion about build number is because we had one update earlier with about 100mb size and the build number did not changed.

 

[UOPshadow]

This was the sound update I guess. Could finally hear my car...

 

[Falk Massmann]

I thought that to...until I saw an volume slider for the opponents in the audio setup

Lol, spot on m8. That was it. Thanks

What can I say? It worked for me.

 

[Aleksander Pienkowski]

How does the current version of AC compare to Race07? Is it really a world of difference? How about multiplayer?

 

[André Azevedo]

iRacing sent me a 50% deal for a year, i've been away from iracing for half a year. Now that the standard for me in terms of feeling, physics, feedback, etc, is AC, because that's what i'm playing in the last few months, iRacing felt like a toy. It's like comparing a ps3 game with a ps4 game, the difference is massive in every way. I've been listening all this talk about AC feedback and i honestly can't understand it. Just tried the same type of cars with same tracks in both games and the difference is absurd. In terms of pure feedback, the feeling is the same i had when i left f12011 and Gran Turismo to play iRacing, it's shocking. I'll make an effort to play the skip barber, i have a lot of money there and i really like the competition, but AC is in a different league. Everything else feels weird to me now. Even GSCE feels worse than before. Really need to buy rfactor2. If it's better than this i'll be in heaven.

 

[Luciano Pacheco]

I have the same feeling. What a situation. Now we have the best simulator with crappy multiplayer, and the worst simulator with awesome multiplayer.
Why cant we have it all in one ?

Our Club races are there to improve AC's multiplayer ,)

 

[Fernando Deutsch]

I think multiplayer on AC is very acceptable. Coming from GPL and the early days of GTR, multiplayer on AC satisfies me.

 

[LazyBug]

So is there any special meaning about this v1.0 RC ??

 

[RaceNut]

RC is the Release Candidate for AC. It basically means that AC is now feature complete but, needs some final fixes and tweaks before final release.

 

[bazingaracer]

I have to insist. The sound.
AC deserves a better one.

 

[Pedro Cunha]

I have to insist. The sound.
AC deserves a better one.

I just activated the reverb in every track and i'm very pleased with the sound of many cars, but they still have to raise the replay sound volume. that reverb has to be loud!!!!!
everyone who has been in a race track knows how loud the powerfull engines are even at great distance.
also the reverbs must be present in every section of the track even if minimal.

 

[MeMyselfAndI]

A lot of people have problems with random disappearing sound during races against AI. Sounds just cut out and the only way to get it back is to close Acs.exe -
back at launcher the sound work again! I am one of em That said.....

Luca posted this today!

An update should come today, we'll expose a parameter in the assetto_corsa.ini file where you can lower max channels according to your sound card wavetable.
The common pattern is that your sound cards (onboard realtek, hdmi audio or old audigy/xtrememusic chipset) have a maximum polyphony of 32 or 64 channels. Hope this pattern will drive us to fix the issue once for all, so we can focus to improve the overall experience.

Thanks for that bit of news. Perhaps that's why I have no issues like so many describe; I'm using the SoundBlaster ZX card.
