The only thing I've noticed is the CSP error message, and an empty dir for the 488 challenge car until I signed up for it. Everything seems to be working exactly as before.

Hey guys, so what do I do to make the game work again?

That's been in AC since 2015? I don't think it even requires dlc. Around 2016 they switched to starting all official content with "ks_" so it's not something new.

ah yea but inside ktm_xbow_r folder i now only have a data.acd and ui png file , the car files etc are gone

You probably deleted it or something and need to do a steam integrity check to get it back.

Does this mess with any mods, etc? Worth doing a backup of anything first?

Yesterday I tried to drive AC, there was some update. After that update I saw new Intro video (good). Then I was able to choose car and track but game won't start, it says that I should edit my graphic settings, tried but still the same issue???? Is this the end of AC now?

Then I started PC1 and hey, it was very good! Watkins Glen and Sauber C9, perfect combination!!!

Yes, it's the end of AC. Just after a minor update they have killed it off. Now excuse me while I go drive the new Ferrari 488 Evo that I got as a part of the AC update...

It's not a solution I found but the one someone found at our french league.

You should have in AC root folder the changelog.txt ... open it and simply change this new line:

1.16.4
- Launcher: fixed car preview image paths (when installed in steam folder with special characters)

by
1.16.3
- Launcher: fixed car preview image paths (when installed in steam folder with special characters)

Content Manager message will not show any longer.

NB: For unknown reason I never had this message appearing !

NB2: surely a solution that will work only until CM updates to correct this strange problem by calling 1.16.4

Problem solved, me stupid. I choose Ferrari F1 2002 with tire model 6, it didn't work anymore, F1 2004 with tire model 10 works. But that's not all, yesterday's update was removed all my settings and setups, controller not worked until I create new settings and so on. So this update looks like RaceRoom update Nov 2019 when they change everything for already perfect simulator. This AC feels still ok so no problem.

bairdoz · Aug 9, 2020

Hey Jempy, that was already in my changelog, do I delete that and re-type it in?

Yes, if you sign up for the event you'll get a steam key for the car.

AC continues to work as if nothing changed... I must be charmed.

This morning something strange happened, i needed to sign in to stream again, and some games i need to reinstall, this never happened before really strange.
ps: that ferrari great and i looks awesome

bairdoz · Aug 11, 2020

I did an integrity check and that did not help?

bairdoz · Aug 11, 2020

I uninstalled and then did a fresh install and still the same problem!

bairdoz · Aug 12, 2020

So validated files too and message aid all ok, but still no good...totally bummed out.

You can get rid of this error message by editing the changelog.txt file in your AC root - change the last version number from 1.16.4 to 1.16.3 and resave the file.
