Assetto Corsa: Build 0.9 Released (with multiplayer)

[Bram Hengeveld]

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.

Getting ready to give it a go

I suppose there won't be any RD roadcar servers up this weekend, since all the upcoming races are GT2/GT3/Formula Abarth?

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

Could be because there are more cars than pitboxes. That's what I read on the AC forums anyway.

 

[Robert vd Heide]

i think if Kunos would have just worked on MP ,,we could have gotten it earlier.
seems they also took borrowed time to sabotage the trackmods before release of MP

Same here. i5-4670 @3.4ghz. Also got the strangest hissing/crackling through the 5.1. Weird.

While the game appeared to be very unresponsive with about 1-2fps the fps meter was still recording 40+ fps in the pit lane and was itself responsive.

 

[Rocky Subra]

Can you book more than one server at a time?

Some servers have really long booking and practice rounds.

Thanks in advance...


edit: learned the hard way.. only 1 booking at time

 

[Paul Brennan]

Has anyone managed to host a server yet? I keep on getting error registering to lobby..apart from that did a few laps on the RD imola gt server no probs at all

 

[Zem Zver]

HHAHHAHAH! Tried mp for the first time. Spent 30m plus finding and booking a server. What genious thought of that system should be given a medal right now!
After finally finding one server and waiting the 10m booking to pass, I thouight i'd be able to join. NOPE! Unsupportet content error, booted from server.

Repeat the whole process. This time I actually get into the game. But SURPRISE! I spawn under the track and keep falling. After 1m of falling a huge sound spike or something happened which I *think* might have damaged my brand new ath-m50 headphones. Ofc I get booted again.

So after about 2 hours of trying I didn't even turn the wheel and I might have broken my headphones.

Good job kunos! You defenitely are a proper programming team and not at all a joke. Kudos to you for your insane skills.

 

[Andreas Knöpke]

Btw guys, is 10 laps still the max due to no pitstops yet?

 

[Brad Forsberg]

4min booking to go RACEDEPARTMENT GT2 server get in there

 

[Juris]

Just pissed myself laughing (not literally I'm not that old, yet). At monza with 3 drivers going past me on the straight after I flipped into the armco and 1 driver flying the wrong way past me going backwards at about 30ft in the air and disappears into a bush.

 

[Rocky Subra]

no.. i am on server with 20 laps..

Sorry if this is being retarded but is there anyway to sort by 'booking' only?

Also think it would be nice if KS would allow the AC UI to expand to the resolution of the screen. I'm on a 2560x1440 and the UI only takes up maybe 1/3 of the available space. Wasn't really an issue until you start getting into lists of servers and tonnes of scrolling.

Shame, it was just what i was looking for. Booking worked fine but i didn't try to get on track since i was alone. Maybe i should have, just to see if it works for me.

Just under the "summary" button.. there are 4 icons.. one of those allows you to view servers that are "booking" only.. good luck

Cheers. Weird though. acs.exe just crashed twice a few minutes ago and I restarted. Previously I only had show empty and full server buttons. Now all 4. Ghosts in the machine. cheers

Dear followers,

we are monitoring the traffic on Assetto Corsa official servers and the activities on the lobby: we announce that the Lobby has reached the number of 300 servers in just 3 hours! Thank you very much for your incredible support. We are glad to announce that meanwhile, we'll add more than 40 official public servers for free!

Thank you very much, enjoy the weekend!

 

[Rocky Subra]

good news mate.. thank you for sharing..

That said, I haven't even seen an "official" server yet.. maybe the ping is too high..

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Anyone else not having the lobby coming up at all? I've checked everything I can think of, firewall is letting AC through, everything is in order, not even full PC restarts are fixing it now. No servers are showing up in the lobby. Any ideas...?

 

[David Bentt]

Is there a fix for the track mods crash issue?
