Assetto Corsa Competizione Hotfix 0.3.5 Available

[Paul Jeffrey]

Assetto Corsa Competizione has received another sizeable hotfix update recently, moving the simulation to build 0.3.5 and addressing some key issues within the title.

To be perfectly honest, the new changelog that comes with the Assetto Corsa Competizione hotfix update of yesterday is arguably bigger than many other games main release notes, and as such offers yet another welcome sign that Kunos Simulazioni remain hard at work bring their new title up to the high standards achieved by the original Assetto Corsa racing simulation.

Born of the feedback received since the last major build 3 release of the sim, the new hotfix deployed yesterday mainly focusses on addressing some of the issues and inconsistencies identified following the last update, and as such contains plenty of useful changes, if not anything that should significantly alter the gaming experience for those players already enjoying turning laps in the Early Access title.

To see the new changes introduced to ACC in full, check out the change log below:

The 2019 championship DLC (for free) has been confirmed by Kunos right from the get go. I just wonder if the new GT2 class for 2019 will be included as it is even unclear who will pursue that class in real life despite some rumours left, right and center.

If quality is what you're after you have to appreciate the full grid for enhanced realism won't you?

The GT2 aren't part of the Blancpain GT races from what I read, they will become one of the support series. So for 2019 the full grid is already there.

Haven't been able to play this in weeks, new baby came along...

Congrats and good luck

All hail Lord Kunos and Crew. Wonderful progress so far, can't wait for more. Racing this series will be the nuts! 2019 as well, luv it.

I find the improvements to the tire-model / physics and general weight of the cars to be very good in ACC and much of that seems to be felt through the FFB but, I really miss the front grip-loss cues that we have access to in AC.

always unplayable with a wmr not to mention the handling in the ui....

There is one Lord, and the guys at Kunos are not it.

What problems are you having using wmr.
I have one too and have no problems in acc after making a few changes with the vr settings.

 

[Richard Dastardly]

We don't know if *anyone* will be racing GT2 yet, certainly isn't going into British GT next year because they'd have to split GT4 out to it's own race to make room ( and persuade some GT3 entries back ), and they haven't. GT2 is meant to be for amateurs, there's no way that's fitting into the full Blancpain series ( not to mention it's also completely full too ). So far GT2 has been a thing to throw into Porsche press releases more than anything, and I'm not sure whether putting amateurs into effectively overpowered GT4 cars is a great plan...

FFB is better every time for me but original AC is still better somehow. I tried with ACC damping on again ( given people's comments that "it's not actually damping" ) & turned it back off, kinda feels like early AC days again. Still feels better than iRacing...

 

[Sonoafafayon]

Ah yeah, sorry, they don't run next year, I read it wrong. They do however plan to run GT2 in Blancpain, and it will be going to British GT, but as you said GT4 will be splitting off and GT3/GT2 will merge. SRO did say that they will do a one off race for GT2 next year with the Blancpain Sports Club.

There is a post on acc forums by BCJM76 about vr, I have posted vr settings in that thread which will sort out your menu problems.

 

[Dan ONeill]

Any mouse support yet?
Can’t get around keyboard with my Rift on, would have thought it to be a basic requirement...

 

[steveh64]

All I get from this game after about 20 minutes is " Fatal Error " which is a shame because I like to play the game with the BMW

 

[Yzangard]

Cause everyone has there own interpretation of what they think a car should feel like.

You can put 2 RL drivers in the same car with same settups and theres a good chance they will have different feedback.

Each person uses different senses and cues.

Don't get it wrong, as it is true that 2 drivers won't agree about DETAILS, both will (should, they are real drivers, aren't they ?) agree that not feeling you are accelerating or breaking in the wheel is not normal.

There are things FFB should reveal and yet it does not, at all...and then, there are details and preferences, which is a complete different topic.

 

[Yzangard]

FFB Is so good that's hard to play anything different. There are still some issues when loading the tires on high speed turnd, but they definitely improved the grip of front axle.

Just try iracing or even better, rFactor 2 and try to explain how ACC's FFB is "so good".

Good luck.

PS : he he, same question to the 12 champions who "agreed"...seriously, your only experience is PCars or Forza or what ?

 

[Pedro Lebre]

FFB is terrible, indeed

The very best FFB from the most detail physics of the moment. Guess you will never like it. So go back to your PC2 again.

 

[rikirk]

Easy, compared to the feeling in real life, although I confirm the front axle load is still weak no matter the in-game settings.

PS : he he, same question to the 12 champions who "agreed"...seriously, your only experience is PCars or Forza or what ?

If you like to take things personally, well, of all the brands you mentioned the last two are the ones I touched once. I do GT3 and PC2 is decent in few cars, rF2 is the most engaging and would eventually try iRacing again when the new tire model is out, mostly because of all the $ I have invested sitting in there.

For now, ACC "EA" is my own favorite as a whole package, including FFB.

But this is me, we do not have to agree.

 

[omanrak]

ACC is the most feature complete GT3 simulator and it gets better by every update.

WMR is not supported (by the Unreal Engine), but if you problem is only the main menu being too low, this may help: https://old.reddit.com/r/ACCompetizione/comments/a0u956/menu_screens_in_vr_far_away_and_steep_angle/
