Assetto Corsa 1.2 update + bonus pack available

02.jpg
Kunos Simulazioni has updated Assetto Corsa to version 1.2, adding five new cars and the circuit of Zandvoort along with a long list of added features and fixes.

According to the developers the physics engine has been updated (as previously anticipated), with improvements for all cars and a tweaked FFB response.

Importantly, the AI has been updated and is supposedly capable of a more human-like and aggressive driving performance. I still haven't had the chance to try it out, but I'm looking forward! The update itself weighs 625MB on Steam.

Here's the full changelog:

Really incredible good update:thumbsup:. Many issues i had with AC are gone. Less self aligning torque means much more feeling for the car. The AI is much better than in Raceroom now. To aggressive? Yes, can happen, but can be as good as a great multiplayer-fight as well without issues (AI on 90). I had examples of both and better this way. And i doubt that this AI have supernatural powers (keyword: balancing) than in other titles;)
 
Love the Toyota GT86. Only problem is my CSW shifter is messing up again getting confused with 1st and reverse. Tried Auto clutch but that doesn't seem to work in the game now. Have to drive as automatic.
 
I've noticed my force feedback feels a bit weak. I'm using a Fanatec CSW v1. None of my previous ffb reductions seem to be needed anymore, but at 100% it still feels kind of weak. I see someone with a G27 had the same feeling. I guess the physics updates make the ffb less demanding on the wheels?
 
AI is still a problem - with some cars at least.
Exos s1 at spa (AI 100%) - they go too fast into some corners and hit you from rear; that's a very frequent occurrence here. And, as ever, you get punted off the track but they aren't affected by the huge collision. Also, they are too slow through au rouge.

I'm the guy with the G27 who said that, my previous settings felt really weak, now i'm at 100% gain to get the same kind of "punch".
 
That's an incredibly well detailed account of your problem :cautious: , but after reading it i'm still totally bamboozled as to what might be the cause.
terribly sorry i can't be of more help. :whistling:

Can't even load any map , it just start loading then it go back to lobby like nothing happened since I updated it to this patch...
