Assetto Corsa Competizione | Hotfixes 1.3.8 and 1.3.9 Now Available

[Paul Jeffrey]

Kunos Simulazioni have recently deployed two new hotfix updates to Assetto Corsa Competizione.

Build 1.3.8 released a few days again and contains some minor tweaks and competition specific improvements for the simulation. However, it is perhaps 1.3.9 that is the more prominent of the two builds - adding an update of the multiplayer collision model that should, according to Kunos, improve the way car-to-car racing is presented in online racing situations. .

You can check out the update notes for these two new build releases below:

Changelog v1.3.9

• Multiplayer collision model improvements. Brings a substantial improvement in MP collisions, which will improve door-to-door racing with more reliable and grounded contact physics.

Changelog v1.3.8

• Sponsorship related updates for the SRO eSports event.
• All formation lap types now ghost cars during the formation lap until the green flag by design (only available for private servers).
• Added event-specific formation lap types for private servers (4 and 5, please wait for updated server manual for more information).
• Tolerance tweaks for the scripted formation type.

Report system in CP races is needed. Intentional wreckers around.

Glad they are looking at improving the netcode. Still the only part of the game that isn't fully there.

It looks as though it could be, a few reports on official forum and Steam.

Not sure what happened I keep getting the assetto-corsa-competizione black background keep flashing on the screen ingame while driving maybe 3-4-5 times a lap for like half a second,
cant say its pleasing during cornering at all.

Just checked. My CP went from 58 to 24 and SA from 96 to 99. My SA was 99 for a long time but for the past days it's been dropping for some reason, until 96 today.

So yea, something happened, probably a rollback.

EDIT: And the CP race supposed to start at 20:00 here didn't happen, next race is going to be at 21:00(60min race). So for some reason it skipped the 45min race and it's starting the 60min race 1h earlier.

Great to see steady improvements, and the devs actively competing online, that must certainly help with tweaking things and resolving some issues.

Hopefully we see more official events like the below as that was really cool.

 

[PickABetterUsername01]

CP now down to 9 lol.

Daylight savings time kicked in in Italy 2 days ago. Times will be different by 1 hour now.

Question to VR users. Every time I start the game I’m on the ceiling looking down at the menu.

Same at race start I’m 10 ft above the car? All other sims I’m in the driver seat. Samsung Odyssey plus.

The same happens to me in Raceroom. ACC is good though. That's strange, but the issue should be in Steam VR.

 

[zwiss]

Another update and without doing anything... my ratings go down??
RC from 99 to 73
SA for 88 to 80
CN from 86 to 79
Not nice

Any work being done on the awful server browser? No favourites, no ability to properly filter etc?

I have the Odyssey no the plus, but what I do is:
Start Windows Mixed Reality Portal, then whist holding the headset at head height and pointing directly at the monitor/TV I start Steam VR. This ensures that the headset is roughly centred already. Click the mouse or controller Enter button (setup in mappings) to exit the splash screen, and then hit control + space to centre the headset. I have also mapped the Recentre VR to one of the buttons on the Controller.

I did find with earlier versions, that not starting Steam VR first helped. Not since the last few releases I have not had to do this.

Glad I read this first on the forums, will not fire up ACC until this issue is solved. Maybe doing updates while you are at the center of a worldwide crisis was not a good idea. Cut the guys some slack, all people living in Italy are allowed to do any number of mistakes at this point as far as I am concerned. Very happy the community posted this problem quickly. I suppose they will just set it back to an earlier date and all will be good.

Same problem... all my stats down 2 weeks back

And when will that feature arrive?

This brilliant. Just goes to show what fake advertising does.

 

[EduCalza]

Hm? Driver swaps are available. You mean you don't do endurance races in ACC because you don't see the graphic animation of the guy getting in the car?

Nope, I mean AI drive my car when makes driver swap. like, PCars
I know that we can change drivers when pit, but only change the names, we still driving with other name. In this case how race 24hs?

Even if we did have this feature, it is pretty much pointless. The AI logic is very poor in this game, they struggle to overtake on most circuits. All you have to do is spectate a race on brands hatch (as an example). The grid at the start is idencitical to the grid that finishes - even 40 laps on.

Also blue flag logic is also incredibly poor. You will literally see AI cars come to a halt to allow cars to overtake them. So yeah, even if you had driver swaps it is pretty much pointless.

Ok, you mean in single player mode. Apologies. I am not familiar with single player racing as there is so much multiplayer going on that i use single player only for training. In any case why don't you try multiplayer endurance events? I think it's much more fun than racing for 24 hours straight against the AI.
