What makes you say that?

While i dont really agree with the not a sim anymore point. I would say the focus of this game has shifted. From saying it wouldnt be a game they would take to consoles to now being just over a month away from release on xbox and ps4 it kind of feels as though they havent had the sales figures from pc version that they were hoping so now want to try make up for that with the console release

That was never the plan. The GT4 DLC is in the roadmap as "Summer 2020": https://www.assettocorsa.net/competizione/roadmap/

Can you please tell me when Kunos said that they would never take ACC to consoles? Because I can't find it anywhere.

When did they ever say that it wouldn't go to consoles? In 2018 they said it could go to consoles “if the performance is good enough” - https://www.gtplanet.net/assetto-co...o-consoles-if-the-performance-is-good-enough/

For those claiming that v1.4 doesn't include what they expected, Kunos have been drip-feeding all of the 1.4 content in recent updates and hotfixes. See: https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/...eneric-discussion.60715/page-181#post-1136105
 
Originally I think it was planned to be, I read something over on their forum. They say that because of the lockdown their focus has been about smaller changes for the SRO esport series, hopefully the new content won't be much longer.
Yeah, I think ACC RF2 and iRacing have all been pushed to get certain issues that pertain to the various official eSeries done and while it means an improvement for us all it can only mean a delay on much new content.
 
Wish they'd get this game optimized so I could actually play it with reasonable graphics settings and get above 30fps. I'm only running 3x1080s at 60fps so it shouldn't be THAT huge of a deal.
I have a bit better than average system and know how to adjust settings to get a good graphics/performance balance with triples, but ACC just isn't working out.
Which bums me out because I rather enjoy the physics
 
Guys, or Girls,

I am desperate for some help please. Have not played ACC this year due to some stupid error when launching in Steam. To be honest I have not frustrated myself too much trying to make it work and just continued to play AC. But would like to race and enjoy ACC as well. Not sure if anyone can point me in the right direction to solve this very frustrating error?

Much appreciated.

Thank you,

I love ACC and have got my money's worth months and months ago. Still, I WAS expecting a bigger update for 1.4, this is pretty under-whelming. Oh well, not a big deal. Still very much looking forward to the GT4s!

Also - is this rumor true about them promising a safety car in v2.0? That would be awesome...
