Re install cm by deleting in appdata (windows) the folder of cm (back up your settings folder etc.. and try it with a "fresh" install of cm. you need to put the code in it again after deleting cm folder

Will try that first. thanks

I have AC and another game on a small SSD and I am running out of space. By playing with Content Manager it looks like I may be able to define a path outside of the AC root folder to store and load third party mods. I am wondering if this is a way to store (and load) mods from outside the AC root. Am I wrong?
If it is possible, how would the folder structure work?
Would it be something like:
D:\mods
D:\mods\cars
D:\mods\tracks
etc.?

Also, while I am at it, is there any gain in running AC off an SSD or is it loaded in RAM?
Thank you.

@onearmedbandit46 does this mess with or delete the mods or skins?

 

[Jeffrey Langford]

No

 

[Edward Gonzales]

You are the man @Jeffrey Langford guess it's just a dirt rally thing. Getting that done now! Thx!!

@onearmedbandit46 does this mess with or delete the mods or skins?

It will only delete modified kunos files, like sound or physics replacements. Anything you add to the game won't be deleted.

 

[Edward Gonzales]

Nah the closest thing I'd have to that is a sound mod from a download that's about it, idk how they make that. I got ac in early accsess but just now installing CM and if anything I have way more skins than car track mods. SOO my system crashed I'm repairing win 7 from a new user account same drive though. Now Crewchief needs an update but thought do it later lets just functions check with the new cm etc. Ever had "I don't have the data" from chief? So I shut it all down tried updating but getting an error

nothing serious but trying to figure main problem w pc oh and I put the msi in there but didn't help

 

[onearmedbandit46]

Try putting the msi file on your desktop or somewhere else convenient and then point the installer to that location?

 

[Edward Gonzales]

alright I like that Suzuki I had the helmet (KS) and never wore it nearly cost me my life, ended up totalling the gsxr and stayed w a helmet. All because a driver was in a rush 15 feet high 30 feet over her car landing in the street. Oh and under 30 mph

If you use CM to install mods as mods,
then CM can remove mods from assettocorsa\content\ folder when not in use.
When not installed, CM stores them in assettocorsa\mods\.
Presumably, one can replace that mods folder with a link to another drive folder:

while I am at it

My guess is that having assettocorsa/ on SSD speeds loading, which I do a lot.
While actually running, I believe most drive activity occurs in Documents\Assetto Corsa\
.. and much of that is write activity,
which can be slower to SSD than a good fast relatively empty spinner.
Fastest would have that folder on a RAM disk.

I use Ultra RAMDisk, which has options to save contents at shutdown
and restore contents at startup.
Of course, this literally steals RAM space; plenty of RAM is wanted.
My relatively modest Documents\Assetto Corsa\ consumes less than 50MB...

As stated above it's always night time when I start a game when it's night time in my vicinity. I've checked "set time manually" to change time or sometimes find what time is day time in game it's really annoying cause when the track doesn't have lights it's pitch black specially on my championships where time is preset already now I have to exit & search for day time every time I start a game. I turned off/on "consider time zones". I want it like before where 0600-1900 is daytime & 1900-0600 is night time before it was like that now it doesn't do that anymore.

hi guys, If I do the server configuration from my personal CM (on my pc) and then upload it to the external server, is it necessary to have CSP + SOL installed on my external server to work correctly?

 

[Please Stop This]

probably its this option, enable it

 

[Peregrine]

probably its this option, enable it

Wow I think that fixes it! I'll check other tracks as well. Thanks a lot!

Thank you. The reason I asked is that in CM there is a path to the "Mods" location, which in my case is
E:\\steam\common\assettocorsa\mods (or close enough) and then there is a way to change the location of that folder. I guess I can go ahead and test it and see what happens.

Incidentally, I remember using Symlinks back when I used rFactor and GTR to store the cars and track folder on a separate drive as the folder became huge. It also allowed me to share the cars and tracks folder with different version of GTR2 (I raced in a league at the time and it made sense back then. My memory is fuzzy). I haven't done that in a long time, but I used a very easy app to perform various kind of symbolic link. It works great.

Also thank you for the RAMdisk tip. I have 64GB of RAM and soon I am going to double that, so it shouldn't be too hard.
I really appreciate it, thanks.

Guys, I went to the content manager site and paid using paypal, but 24 hours later nothing has come back - I assume that they will send a code to my e-mail but I have nothing. How do they normally send the code and how long should I wait before going after them?

Cheers
