Assetto Corsa: Build 0.9 Released (with multiplayer)

Due to a few delays it took Kunos Simulazioni a little extra time to deliver the announced multiplayer functionality to the community. Today the wait ends as issues have been fixed and tested and are now available via a Steam update for customers.

Besides a whole bunch of servers provided by Kunos the community has start hosting the first multiplayer rooms already and of course you are more than welcome to visit the official RD servers as well.

I'm glad about 0.9.8. My game completely bugged out earlier when I tried to restart a race. Also, I was able to select up to 30 laps earlier for single player races with the AI yet now when I try, the limit is 10? I'm confused as to how that has happened. :/

Im enjoying mp now .
I tried it first friday for a couple of minutes but the crash bug was driving me mad.
There was a good couple of races tonight and i even won two
There is some good drivers you can have good wheel to wheel driving fairly and then some d***s just ram you from behind
I was leading a race tonight and lapping a car and he try's to take me off ,
luckily he didn't.
But the racing was exciting and you can now rub wheels with out flying into the trees.

I need to join the racedepartment club now to get rid of these guys wrecking the fun.

30 laps works only whith the fuel option disable for now, i think.

0.10?
I don't think they will go back to lower version numbers...

This is from AC Support over at the official forums:
0.9.9 0.9.10 0.9.10.1... guys, you should think less about the version number.

 

[Ho3n3r]

Yep. It could be on v0.999 eventually for all I care - at the current rate of improvement, that'd be an awesome version.

I take it this game still isn't fully optimised? I still get game freezes just for a split second every so often and it still doesn't feel silky smooth, for instance, looking at the road in front does look very smooth but look at trackside detail at speed as it whizzes past and it looks a little jerky. I am still patiently waiting for the 98T.

 

[Jan-Olov Johansson]

Versioning systems aren't decimal, mate.

Think of it like this: v0.9.7 = Version 0, sub-version 9, sub-sub version 7. v0.10 is version 0, sub-version 10. So v0.10 is 9 sub-versions newer than v0.1.

Hope that helps you in the right direction.

Haha, this is why I long ago decided to not persue a career in programming but instead focus on the easy stuff like networking/hardware and servers...

 

[Bernd Graf]

Sorry for the late reply. Crazy at work. We were actually at Vallelunga but I'm sure he was getting his kicks on several tracks. Server admins need an option for laser-guided missile strike to leave offenders as burning wrecks on track a la Next Car Game

Crazy finals...and now a sprained hand so no racing

Except with programming you can do what you want and just explain to the user that it's a 'feature' and they're just not using it right. Also, we can say 'It'll be fixed in the next version'. Can you do that when a switch melts? I think not

Is this all the time or when racing against AI?

And, if you put the frame rate application on screen, does the blue bar peak during the stutters?

Random thought: Do you have an alternating Windows background?

I had microstutters every so often on F1 2010 when it just came out as well.

After a hard and looong search, eventually via resource manager I realised that it did a hard drive read to a certain folder, which was the pictures folder for the background. Changed it to static background, and all of my issues was solved.

Maybe a long shot for you, but it's worth a try.

Thank you Robert.

 

[Georg Siebert]

[Robert vd Heide]

yeah ,that was when they announced nords

this week i saw them anwering a racedriver that wanted tp practice on AC before real races

Silverstone national would be in time,i believe june or july,but he should forget about Spa in september
that one wouldnt make it in time

When you say static background, you mean desactivate the "aero design"?
