Assetto Corsa Competizione Hotfix 0.3.4 Now Live

[Paul Jeffrey]

Assetto Corsa Competizione has been updated once again with a new hotfix deployed to the simulation earlier today.

Having recently received the latest major build update to bring the title to release three status, and a follow up hotfix to address some post go live issues, Kunos Simulazioni have again proven that sleep isn't something the team are contractually obliged to participate in with yet another hotfix update.

Moving the already very impressive simulation to version 0.3.4, the hotfix pushed live earlier today is a mixed bag of multiplayer focussed amendments and other less high profile but still noteworthy changes to the official Blancpain Sprint Series racing sim.

Of the more notable lines within the changelog is the promise of improved netcode in multiplayer, a curse that has beset the title since release 3 introduced a first early pass at online functionality earlier this month. Hopefully with this very important change the title will become a more useable product in online driving, and start to really give users a feel for the potential of what is shaping up to become a very impressive sim racing product from the team who brought us the insanely popular Assetto Corsa.

Further interesting points from the update notes include potential memory leak issues in replay recording, and various Paul Ricard specific changes.

Changelog v 0.3.4 Notes:

Note for server admins: please update the binaries!​

• Optimised netcode to prevent certain spikes, causing high pings for all clients
  
• Fixed Chat Widget timestamp overflow and timezone
• Lowered Chat position
• Fixed nameplate visibility
• Fixed possible memory leak for long replay recording
• Increased FOV and slightly increased maximum distance of the mirrors
• Improved AI line at start straight to avoid incidents with cars exiting pitlane
• Paul Ricard asphalt grip fine tuning
• Fixed BMW M6 automatic clutch not holding idle at 2nd or higher gear
• Improved (more permissive) Paul Ricard track limits at T2, T5 and outside of T11

MP is only practice based at the moment so there is no actual racing available.
