Content Manager (Questions & Answers)

A “ virgin “ AC can easily be downloaded from Steam, thats not the point for wasting precious space on your SSD. Recently, I did do this integrity check on AC and its just my experience, despite I was sure what file are effected, I did miss a couple, that I did change for a reason in a time span of 4 years.
But we can do a whole discussion here, I think it’s always wise to make screenshots and backups, before doing, just in case.

Because if you let steam check if your files are right or wrong it will delete things you dont want deleted because it will restore the game to vanilla state. Aka the same state as you would download ac for the first time.. i dont allways want steam to restore it.. i rather would restore ac or any other game my self so it dont need every thing to be deleted. i have more then 10 tb in my pc so for me its not a wast of space...

I had a strange problem with Content Manager with Windows 11. All quick races and hotlaps crashed to the desktop when quitting and the best lap times didn't register. All seemed to work fine and the cars/track/SOL were loaded and it played fine... but the game never came back to CM after the race but always went straight to the desktop.

For some strange reason all my Assetto Corsa \Documents folder files were set to "read only". If you have that issue make sure W11 doesn't change them to read only... or that when you copy new downloaded files there. Always make sure "read only" is not clicked. W11 has a lot of annoying issues like this... I never had this issue with W10.

When I made them re-writeable again with file properties that immediately solved the problem.

Guys... is there a way of disabling the Power/Torque pop up that appears when you hover the mouse over a car in CM?

It gives that information below the car when you click on it. I don`t think it`s needed in a pop up too and it just gets in the way.

Thanks. I have that unchecked but I`m still getting the Power/Torque pop up popping up when hovering over a car.

 

[Please Stop This]

uh ye, atm its only for the car-selection dialog, in content you still get them, i hope for that to be added in the future

 

[tjc]

Ok... cheers for the info.

It's also there when you are selecting the opponents for a race or trackday

This will disable the popup when you're in quick drive car list. Though for some reason I don't have the other setting shown in previous reply.

Yeh I have that unchecked. In Content you still get the pop ups though as @Please Stop This said.

CM is crashing after every session - first line of error file shown below:
----------
System.IO.IOException: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
-----------
Always give me the option to restart and CM resumes - with a results page for the session that just crashed.
I've attached a copy of the entire message
I'd appreciate any guidance - thanks

Verify the integrity of AC with Steam.

I have found a problem. Please tell me if you can replicate it or take a look at the error message and try to see what's happening.

I have left only 2 quick switches, one for my keyboard/cockpit controls presets and one for my monitor/vr preset. The alt1 and alt2 hotkeys to switch between presets work great but alt2 (controls switch) crashes Content Manager when I use it unless I change to a different tab or click some menus before. I have tried changing the order of the quick switches and it's only the controls presets switch that crashes and only when using the hotkey. If I press alt1 before and then alt 2, the crash does not happen. The crash does not happen either if I press alt 3 or alt 9, which do nothing obviously, and then alt 2.

This is the error message:

Probably bc of some crash in the past - your filesystem might be damaged, see Answer here, do a "CheckDisk" on your hdds: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...readable/bdb36827-f84f-42c1-bf28-5b2c17279cf1

Is there a way to modify the Content Manager Drive screen? I want to make it super easy for visitors. A big car, a big track, and a Go button. Even just a way to resize what is there would be helpful.

I did read here at RD there is a guy who developing a simple AC start alternative for the CM. Maybe this is what you are searching.
But indeed CM has become a bit to complex with contra productive adjustments that are causing all kinds of problems.

Will Content Manager ever have VR support with OpenXR? Any other alternative launcher that has it?

Is there a way to stop this message from showing up?

Settings>Content Manager>Drive>Skip results:

This is a drop down checklist and you can select which modes you don't want to see results for.

Not actually used it myself but I'm fairly sure this is what you're after.
