ACC: Multiplayer Fixes on Route - Online Servers Down

[Paul Jeffrey]

Kunos confirm multiplayer fixes are on the way, online servers temporarily disabled.

Assetto Corsa Competizione release three brought plenty of new goodies, including a very basic first pass at multiplayer, however it seems like some unintended problems have arisen that has led Kunos Simulazioni to remove server access until the end of the coming weekend.

As can be expected with such a sizable new build, on a game engine brand new to the development team, these sorts of issues can very easily arise and cause more issues than initially expected. What is good news is that Kunos have acknowledged the issues, and appear to be hard at work making the appropriate adjustments to the title as they strive to achieve a more stable and performance friendly build version.

You can check out the full statement from Kunos below:

Dear ACC racers, we're looking after you...

We finally released the 0.3 release of our Steam Early Access programme for Assetto Corsa Competizione on schedule, including the Practice Session in Multiplayer mode, which allows us to stress test our systems as a first step of the multiplayer experience we are building.

You can probably imagine how much stability difference there is when moving from a reasonable amount of beta testers to thousands of simultaneous players: nothing unexpected on our side.

Here at KUNOS, developers have been working on the server backend since the night of the release, and we would like to ask for your patience regarding some global server downtime until the end of the weekend, while we will keep tuning the system to give more stability for your Multiplayer racing experience.​

Online multiplayer is expected to return to the title from next week, however please be prepared for further delays if the studio believe it necessary in order to get to the bottom of the current issues.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available on Steam Early Access now.

Check out the Assetto Corsa Competizione forum here at RaceDepartment for the latest news and discussions regarding this exciting sim. We intend to host some quality League and Club Racing events as well as hosting some great community created mods (we hope!). Join in the discussion today.

you can justify Kunos as much as you want

I'm just disappointed with what Kunos is pulling off. Presumably those bribed by Nvidia were to sell RTX

Well, they did a good job then, I just got my Ryzen 2700x and a RTX2080 last week

 

[roadyroad]

And as a developer, very conscious of what EA means, but I would be embarrassed to deliver a product on such a stand

The problem with what you stated is that the product has not been delivered. It is in development...

yes, at this price you also believe in miracles

They drop the anchor. Before losing the game Kunos will allow modding in a last step.

Nice one Kunos, keep at it. Whatever it takes, push the release date back if it comes to it, who cares. It must be farking irritating sifting through so many dumb / purposefully inflammatory comments trying to get useful feedback. Not that they'd come here for feedback, they're asking for lunacy if they do.

It's not allowed? Source please

 

[Ramipril]

It's not allowed? Source please

They said that It isn't disallowed, the game is just not built with modding in mind like AC is.

"...there will be no action from our side regarding modding, both in the direction of promoting nor offering any kind of forum support for it as in the opposite direction, we have no intent to stop it from happening if some smart guy figure out how to do it."

 

[roadyroad]

i just say: rf2 is also constantly in development

I don't want to bash rFactor2, as my opinion about it is much better now than a few months before, but it is not in early access. It's a neverending development as it is done for flight sims, with major updates from time to time (not just fixes).

ACC will be a complete product when it is out. For sure some updates (fixes, not major updates) will be released but the aim is to deliver a finished product.

These are 2 different way of doing the thing.

yes, I understand, you're just a gamer, not a simfan

calling people that don't have VR or triple screens "just a gamer, not a simfan". May I remind you how sim racing started out? Single CRT monitor with a keyboard, joystick or later cheap wheel.
Mod Edit: personal insult removed.

 

[Jacco van der Zaag]

Aaaand they're offline.

Right, so they spend time and money implementing modding instead of working on the game proper to 'save' it?

There is still room for ACC in the category Failed games

And there's still room for you in the category of failed trolls.

Massarutto wrote FB post about how implementing of Multiplayer went for AC. Don't look for it, it was more than week ago and didn't stay there for a long time. Basically it was about that there were a lot troubles and they delayed it twice for AC. Ironically I just thought that it is very likely to happen again, and it did.

I think it is not a big deal, because I had so much of incredible online simracing in AC for a few years. So few troubles at the beginning might not be so bad.

I would be much more worried about nature of AC community at this time, it is fanboys factory. Simracing community suffers a lot from fanboyism, every sim has to take hits for its shortcomings, and praise for where it is superior.

Paul Ricard in the rain is so pretty

And there is a pretty treacherous puddle of water right where you're braking for the penultimate corner! Spun me around at least 5 times already

 

[T04STY]

yes, I understand, you're just a gamer, not a simfan

You know, some of us are just poor students who need to pay rent, food and all the other stuff. Only because you live in your moms basement and ask her for money when you need it doesn't mean everybody can afford or has space for it.

My opinion on ACC:
It is not a true simulation, no game will ever be able to simulate driving a car, but ACC won't even come close to it. It's a game. Nothing more nothing less. It's made for the mass market so that means it can't be too realistic or people will whine about it being too hard. Also, IMO, the game looks like ****. Way to much reflections everywhere and other overdone stuff.
This is my opinion and if you don't agree then that is fine.
