Assetto Corsa Competizione | Hotfix 1.2.1 Now Available

[Paul Jeffrey]

A new hotfix update for Assetto Corsa Competizione is available to download now.

The release of the odd hotfix or two following such a comprehensive build update isn't much of a surprise, and just 24 hours after said major update, Kunos Simulazioni have taken to the internet once again to deploy a further new build to Assetto Corsa Competizione.

Addressing some of the immediate issues that have sprung up following yesterdays V1.2 release, the new hotfix should be available next time players restart their Steam client.

Assetto Corsa Competizione V1.2.1 Hotfix Notes:

• TAB Timetable HUD overlay now scales properly on all resolutions.
• Fixed spotter/text messages chain after loading a saved game.
• Fixed tyre set inconsistency between MFD and setup.
• Fixed pitcrew spawn in saved games.
• MP: Fixed zippy netcode for high pings.
• MP: Removed gaps in grid position caused by disconnected cars.
• Random weather fix to not only generate rainy conditions.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available exclusively on PC.

This was already answered a few ACC articles back, in which it was said they can't introduce RTX since it's gonna consume alot of power, until they optimize the game enough to be able to support RTX

We have time. There is another racing game with RTX? no...

Wait the new NVIDiA graphics cards and oh... miracle

Personnaly i waiting the DLC.

It is amazing how many people say games, not just this one, won't run on this or that. They never say what their hardware specs are. It's always the games fault.

VR doesn't work. Ok, what does "doesn't work" mean. Tell us your specs and maybe someone can point something you might of missed.

And I love this one. The game is "slow". WTF is "slow". I am a network architect and I can't tell you how many times I have heard the network is "slow". Give people more information and maybe they can help you. Don't just bitch for bitching's sake. Help the community help the developer make better products. They are not going to cover every POS machine that is still running Windows XP on an I5 with 2 gig of ram.

You are indeed a IT guy: when you report a bug to those guys, they always say that the program works fine and it is all your fault.

I agree about how silly it is to post about a bug/performance issue without posting hardware specs. However, assuming that the bug/performance issue is due to prehistoric hardware does not make sense. I have a decent computer, with a decent CPU, a decent CGU and a decent monitor and when I launched ACC 1.2 with graphic settings not maxed out it wasn't that fluid - it was even close to the lags in race during day-night transitions at certain tracks like the Nurburgring. I don't yell about it but I can understand those who are more vocal.

Thank you for the update Kunos, the AI is much improved. I'm in the middle of a 3 hour endurance race right now and the only issues I have is, the players car has excessive tire wear towards the end of stint compared to the AI cars. Also there is no way to turn off tire wear in the game. It would also be nice to pause the game and adjust the pit menu instead of adjusting settings on the fly.

 

[Gergo Panker]

However someone that runs triple screen 1080p shouldn't be called crazy for thinking it's the norm among simracers.

As much as they (we) like to believe, simracers are not the average even with a game with such a niche focus as ACC, and 3x1080p is no way in hell a norm in any scenario, and I'm saying this as a former user of a triple-screen setup.

 

[Gergo Panker]

However if Kunos or any other developer wanted to be upfront, they should list minimum and recommended specs along with the resolution.

I can wholeheartedly agree to this.

Ok here we go. What is "decent" ? You just proved my point. Since you have labeled me an "IT guy". I will proceed like one. Here is my idea of "decent" for sim racing with newer titles.

I7 8700K
16 gig of ram
m.2 512gig SSD
RTX2070/ 5700XT gpu

People look at the trailers for new games (done by marketing) see pretty colors and think I can't wait to get my hands on that. You are right in that I am a technical person so I have a very good idea how to get past the marketing stuff and figure out what really is going on with something. If a person is going to buy something like that, look at the forums. wait until people have had a chance to run the software to see if it is living up to billing. I bought ACC last September in beta because I knew I was building a new pc and figured there was no way they were going to produce something the new machine couldn't handle.

The other thing is, stuff like triple screens and VR is a niche within a niche. The developers are going for the Bell Curve of customers. They do their research and they make decisions that will leave out a number of users. It is the way products are made.

Oh. The new machine I built has the following components.

i9 9900k
512gb m.2 SSD
RTX2080ti
32gb of ram.

The machine I had when I bought ACC in beta was

i7 6700k
32gig of ram
2 RX480 8gigOC gpu's

Now that was a "decent" machine, but there was lag when running 1440p everything maxed. Even after full release, the game play maxed was at most 72fps. I like to max out the settings so I buy hardware that allows me to do that. Some people can't, I get that. But give us some specs so we can put the developers on blast for not meeting their marketing specs.

Thanks for shedding some light on the matter. I didn't realize that simracers are not the majority of the buyers of titles such as ACC. If you asked me, I'd say sims such as rF2, AMS, R3E, ACC were mostly used by simracers, and then Forza, GT, etc. by more casual players. It seems I was way off.

If ACC users on average (not people here on RD, but in general) are not even into simracing it is then probably safe to assume, that most of them don't even own a wheel. That is an eye opener, but I digress.

It's getting the place as the most complete race simulator. But it'll need more types of car. GT3 over and over is boring. The solid platform, in any cases, is being consolidated for future classes or games.

Jesus, save us...
ACC is a GT3 official game.
Soooooo Kunos bring Lawnmowers!

 

[lhutchy]

Is it me or does it seam that the track limits have been changed in some places mainly Spa climing the hill? I feel like i can take more of the curbs with out a track limit strike.

 

[R1Joel]

I really can't complain about the performance. I use a GTX 1070 and 3700x (stock), @ 3840x2160 and mostly middle and high presets - runs great and looks really nice. There are so many settings available to adjust the graphics...

How? I run a 2700 with a 1070Ti on a 3840x1080 monitor and it's a choppy mess. Even with everything on low and looking straight out of the 90s.

I don't have my settings here, but I know, that I lowered the in-game resoltution scale and as already mentioned, most settings on medium to high. This way it runs with 60 FPS without troubles and, as already mentioned too, looks quite nice. I can send you my settings tomorrow if it helps.

Take a look on your hardware utilization. My GPU is perfectly boosting to max when running ACC.

Sorry to put it that way, but clearly something is wrong with your system. I have a i7-9700K and GTX1070 and it runs stably with 60FPS with my Samsung 32:9 Ultrawide with some compromises in the GFX settings (still most settings on ultra/high). But it still looks glorious. Before that I had a i5-6600K with the same result, just less AI cars possible in races (~24).

Worked wonders for me!

It's the official GT3 Sim, I mean you can try buying the company and changing it, but thats up to you lol

Pretty much this. I get 90FPS with an 8700K @5.1GHz and a GTX 1080 and high settings with 120% sharpening @2560x1080.

@R1Joel you need to check your system to see whether the GPU and CPU is reaching 100% usage (well, at least 1 since 1 will be bottlenecking the other - hopefully only slightly). Something clearly isn't working right.

Why are people continually confusing it with being ACC 2? It's like asking Codemasters to include Formula E in F1 2019, it does not make sense.

They included F2 already. I'm not asking for anything, I'm just saying this physics and graphics basis should be good for the next Kunos games. A bit of text interpretation would be useful.

A bit of "saying what you actually mean to begin with" would be better.

Also, using your F2 argument, Kunos are already including the Intercontinental GT series, as this is also included under the Blancpain GT license.

Great, hoping for more content. ACC is fantastic.
