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.

Mine is onboard and i never had cut outs

 

[bazingaracer]

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.

If I may ask, about what parameters we are talking?
After today small update and looking at my assetto_corsa.ini file the only references for audio that I can see are these ones:

[AUDIO]
SURFACES_DISTANCE_SCALE=2
UPDATE_INTERVAL=16
DISABLE_ENGINE_SOUNDS=0

These values are the default ones. I would like to know what I need to change in order to set 32 or 64 channels.

Thanks in advance.

I asked about that at ac forums the update Luca talked about was not the one from yesterday.

now the update is today.

Does anyone know how to change the steering lock for specific cars? It just feels too twitchy at the moment, some cars even undriveable.

Thanks.

PS: quote this post if you have a solution, please.

 

[Ridhuan Abu Bakar]

Ferrari 458 GT2's interior sound definitely has changed yesterday

If you can change the degrees in your wheel driver (logitech, thrustmaster etc.) then put the value at max possible.
Then go in the game and put the same steering degrees as your wheel is using, you can find it in controls page under steering axis.
After that, go to video options - view tab and at the bottom you find: virtual steering wheel rotation limit, which goes from off - 0 to 450. Which is the value for when you turn the wheel to left side or to right side.
Example: 300º wheel - in game 300 steering degrees - virtual wheel 150º.

Thanks mate. However, there is no place under controller settings to change the rotation - unless it's hidden somewhere very obscure?

I put the on-screen wheel to static or off anyway, so that doesn't matter whether it matches - but it might be useful to someone else.

 

[Radu Oros]

Yes there is, under the steering axis in controls page. There's a slider to set the degrees. Even if you disable the wheel model, you should still try to set virtual wheel degrees in video options-view tab. Degrees for one side only. Try with it off and try with the right amount like I've suggested, then compare.

OK awesome.

I thought it was only visual, but clearly I'm a dumbass Your help is duly appreciated, sir...

So if i wanted 900 degrees i would set it to 450?

Yes 450 for the virtual rotation. But in steering degrees below the steering axis you still need to put 900.

No luck I'm afraid. No matter what I do, the wheel is stuck at 450 degrees, and 180 degrees with the Exos... Made it 900 degrees everywhere I could think of - Profiler, even created a new profile etc.

 

[Radu Oros]

You just need to set 900º in logitech, 900º below steering axis. 450 in virtual. That's it, you're done for all cars. Because Assetto adapts the steering to each car, if the lotus exos has 360º (180 to each side) of force feedback, anything from 361 to 900 will not have force feedback and the wheel goes light. The lotus exos cannot give 900, because the real car only has 360, even though you can turn your physical wheel 900 degrees, only 360 of those has force feedback, and you'll notice when you go beyond the limit.

Explaining the virtual limit of 450 in 900 wheels: It is for cars that go beyond 900º of steering, the virtual rotation limitation is useful to sync what you do physically and what happens in the game. For example, take the current alfa romeo and put virtual limit off; what happens is that after a certain point
of turning the wheel, they aren't in sync any more, the alfa romeo steering will turn more than your g27 with 900º. But after you set 450 virtual, all is well.

Modded cars don`t have any sound in track replay cameras.

Fix: Copy the sound bank that the placeholder sound comes from to your modded car an rename/overwrite the old one!

Still didn't work. I even manually changed it to 900 degrees manually in all the saved controller files I could find under the Documents Assetto Corsa controllers folder. And I deleted them, and recreated them from scratch, still did nothing.

I kinda "fixed" it by exiting Logitech Profiler, but then I have, instead of the normal "lock" that G27's give you at the vehicle's max rotation, which stops the wheel from moving any further than that, a total zone of deadness untill you get to 900 degrees - so no force feedback, nothing.

I am tempted to do a complete reinstall but at 2Mbps this will take soooo long.

Have you got a persistent profile applied?

 

[Ho3n3r]

Have you got a persistent profile applied?

I tried both yes and no, and changing the profiles' values, all of them.

But normally, no I don't use a persistent profile.

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

Are you still using the ECCI pedals? It's a long shot that that's causing issues. BUT nothing is impossible.
