Assetto Corsa: Build 0.9 Released (with multiplayer)

Bram Hengeveld · May 9, 2014

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.

Wow you don't know how slowly my work day will end now :f

But seriously I am so happy and looking forward to evening

Look at it this way, by the time you get home, hopefully everything will be running smoother than it is right now.

One race behind. Good release for a ALPHA multiplayer.

So, how's racing?

halligalli · May 9, 2014

after this patch I can not load any more modding tracks, you have the same problem?

With low ping players its OK but there is obvious ghosting if players ping is over 300.
Thats my profound observation after two races on different servers.

yup was about to say that... from what I saw in the couple minutes I played ping around or under 100 looks really nice though.

what jari says.. if you have a good connection smooth as a baby bum... but some one with high ping.. they just ghost..all over the place...lol

My connection is good, but my ping will always be 190-200 minimum to European servers.

No problems to rFactor/rFactor 2 servers with that ping, so hopefully they could solve it for Assetto Corsa too.

2 things I noticed so far... my performance took a big hit, not sure if it is my pc, MP or the new build in general... needs some testing on my side.

Second thing some servers are either disappearing or simply not showing in the lobby, was on the RD Monza GT Server, left the server and now it isn't in the lobby anymore... the official Kunos servers are also not in the lobby anymore (for me atleast

)

Well @Dave Begley and I experienced an unhinged kind of error... I was drafting him on the front straight at Monza, I pulled out of the draft and suddenly we seemed to hit some kind of reverse black hole that materialised between our cars... Dave was sent flying past the first chicane while I found myself back in the gravel trap at Parabolica.

Can you create you're own room so you can play online with a friend and ai?
Im not at home yet to try it.

Sander Eefting · May 9, 2014

This game is absolutely amazing. [Mod edit no need for the after comment please keep it clean]

Jason Hunt · May 9, 2014

Glad it's finally out. Now I can wait until Sunday to download the latest version once the major issues are sorted out. Absolutely no point in trying tonight.

This is what I was hoping to do last week when we had the Bank Holiday on Monday in the UK.

I'm very disapoint with how this booking thing works... LFS multiplayers was such a dream, but oh well, its early days! I'm sure it will improve

scotchjock · May 9, 2014

MP broke for me, tried twice now and both times I just get "WARNING, CPU OCCUPANCY>95%" with a complete jerk fest
