Assetto Corsa Competizione Coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X in 2021

[Donnced]

Wreckfest runs horrendously on base PS4 at times, quite often.

Strange, I'm on base PS4 and game improved a lot since launch,only in arenas the game lags a bit when lot of cars are on screen ,but in races it's smooth,have lot of fun with this game.

ACC don't go as smooth,more framepacing in my case, and some heavy dips in night and in rain races,also most in starts or when a lot of cars surround me.
I have to say it's better if I didn't play any other game before ACC.

Yeah, it ended up being fortunate for next gen consoles that they couldn't lock it at 30fps before. Silver linings etc

Yep, it benefits new gen consoles to have 30fps unlocked,now we have to see what they are capable with a proper upgrade/version.

I run ACC on the ps4pro in 1080 mode with ps4 power option on. It's not 60 fps. But certainly not 30 or lower. Runs pretty smooth to the eye.

If they only can show the rain again in a future patch, oh pretty please.

That was the improvement in 1.03, then in 1.05 is when they broke rain efects on windshield and dynamic blackering/rubbering on track surface texture, but the performance stayed same as on 1.03

That's the performance on PS4 PRO in 1800p checkerboard or 1080p supersampling



1.7 on PC update brought some graphics improvements...if they use them in consoles it can become a bit better on old gen and new gen.

That's what kunos said of the graphics improvements/optimization they added in 1.7

Graphics
Addition of traced contact shadows that is a less taxing alternative of real time shadows.
Updated tarmac shaders and skidmarks.

In PC version you can activate TC shadows or not, Aris posted a screenshot comparative on discord and it's quite amazing

I know crossplay with PC would be likely asking for too much but console crossplay should be a realistic hope, if not expectation.

To be honest having crossplay with PC could be possible if Next gen versions will abandon past gen crossplay.

But from performance side. PS5 and XSX are powerful enough to handle this game in full PC version.

 

[Traks1]

I'm kinda very happy to hear this news although a good re-review or two when it finally releases for ps5 could cost me deep in the man purse. PS5 (not paying 1 penny more for it than r.r.p though )+FANATEC bits=ouch!.

Had no plans to purchase PS5 or replace my poor old G29 or even buy ACC until ACC was improved specifically to take advantage of the new consoles. I and my wallet will be watching closely.

F.O.V adjust, seat adjust, auto d.o.r, 60fps @ 1080p ( you know, like AC already has) and a few less currently reported bugs and I'll buy whatever Kunos are selling...twice...I promise.

I really do hope, for their sake and ours, they get it right.

I still have a lot of fun with Wreckfest but man the fps is so bad. I have only played the new track since this weeks update and it ran smoothly, will have to try other tracks.

I have ps5 and t300. ACC on PS5 is terrible as of right now. Graphics bug, input lag, the whole force feedback is kinda crappy and weak. I dont know how ACC feels like on PC but on PS5 is rather disappointing. I mean its strange that GT sport feels better in physics than ACC.On GT sport i put ffb to 4/10 and its strong but on ACC even if i put 85% its weak, cant feel anything. I really wanna try PC version to see the difference

Yeah, I understand that. I played on consoles only for last 10 years I guess. And I said enough of not knowing how it is on PC and bought cheap NB to test every possible sim/racing game. Currently ACC can't set monitor frequency so it's not playable for me. Consoles are still good at many things.

We're having massively different experiences. The game is great for me. Smooth 60fps, better graphics than my old PS4 standard. Can't complain other than it crashes once an hour without fail. I use a T300 as well and think it feels great.
How is it so different for us?

He possibly hasn't updated his T300 firmware. ACC on a T300 feels great on the latest firmware, it's night and day.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I am not expecting anything other than a graphics and performance stability upgrade. Assuming they don't wish to split the player base then online lobbies won't be any larger either. I'd love to see larger single player grids though I won't get my hopes up.

FFB implementation has nothing to do with physics at all.
You can have excellent phisycs and bad FFB
Or you can have good FFB with bad phisycs.

Some questions...
Have you updated the firmware of your wheel?
If answer is "no" , that's the first thing to do.

What are your settings apart of the gain one's?
Do you set the steering lock for each brand/car of the game? needed in ACC console version cause it hasn't Autodor system.

Don't forget either that the GT world Challenge GT3 cars have powersteering in real life.
Wheel has to give resistance,but detail FFB is more important.

 

[FrankieStail]

Also on ps5 it’s imperative to set screen output to 1080, also turn off hdr.
I don’t know what’s going on with the soft image quality in 4K, but 1080 with its extra lod and smooth 60fps is a game changer over playing on PS4.

Edit.... also I’m only on a g29 wheel and run gain in game at 35, definitely strong enough with plenty of detail and no chance of clipping.
When I see people running high gain heavy wheels I wonder what car they drive irl.
Even on an old car without power steering, except for heaviness at low speed, once up to driving speed the steering isn’t as heavy as some run their ffb wheels.
In saying that there’s maybe an issue with thrustmaster wheels in acc, but certainly with g29 35-40 gain is plenty of weight whilst retaining detail without clipping.

PS5 and Fanatec CSL here. Not sure how we can be having vastly different experiences though, ACC feels great for me? I run FFB strength ingame at 75% and its more than strong enough, it can even seem a touch too heavy at times when you consider GT3 cars have power steering but overall the feel is great.

I recommend the 1080p trick to make the game look better. For whatever reason running it at 4k leaves everything a little fuzzy round the edges, whereas switching the console to 1080p makes it look crisp and smooth. I also highly recommend making sure you run each car at the designated steering lock settings that are easily searchable online. Other than that I don't know what else to say, its odd that you are reporting such a bad experience with the game on the same console as myself.

 

[Klik]

I run gain 75%,
dynamic damping 100,
road effect 20
, steer lock 720,
steer scale 100

Last time i updated firmware was 3 months ago.. I dont know.. Coming from GT sport i tought difference between ACC and GT sport is gonna be massive in physics and feel of the road. Im playing both of them and its hard to decide. I mean ACC feels a bit better but not by a huge amount like i thought its gonna be. The difference like you go from some arcade need for speed to GT sport/project cars.


Did i maybe expect too much from Acc or is GT sport actually already pretty decent simcade/simulation?

 

[aaron0288]

There’s one huge thing you’re missing which has been mentioned. You need to set your steering lock to 1080 and then adjust for each car on the wheel. See pic below.

I tried it, but same. It just feels weird on PS5 like it has some input lag and weak unconsistent feedback . I dont know if its different on PC or PS4.

On the other hand, original Assetto Corsa runs great on PS5. I instantly noticed how it feels better than ACC. Its like my car goes exactly where i want, no input lag, ffb is strong i actually have to put it down to 35-40%. But on ACC even 80% feels weird.

Its really a shame because i wanted to play ACC more than AC due to somewhat larger playerbase. I mean we are now almost 3 months and we still dont have graphics bug fix for PS5 on ACC. We have to put TV back to 1080p and than in game again to 2160p to have non blurry game.

 

[Johnnn]

Somebody mentioned input lag in console versions for wheels here. I am not sure, gamepad feels right.

 

[TypeRDC5]

My only experience of ACC so far has been on base PS4 with T150 wheel.

About as budget as set ups comes but the force feedback and physics always felt great to me, a little input lag but its just that a little.

Main issues have always been performance and graphics, with the power of ps5 and a dedicated ps5 version I cannot wait for this version!

Now to try and find a ps5 somehow and hope the next generation version is released sooner rather than later.

I don't feel this on wheel either.

First at all I would update your firmware.

Set your gain around 80/85%
Min force at 0%
Dynamic damping is a wreid one, lower it to 75%
Road you can go up to 50%

About input lag,will be less with those steering locks, about graphics, its an old gen version compatible on PS5, 1080p mode is made with better graphics details and visual distance,1800p checkerboard they lowered it for having a bit better FPS on PS4 PRO.

About phisycs, it's a great step above GT SPORT and even a step above original AC, ACC is more difficult to set FFB,yes, but AC is more canned, even Stefano Casillo (head Dev) said when AC was realeased that the most realistic FFB was gain on % you want,all the rest at 0%...cause above that it was canned effects.
And like I said, FFB implementation has nothing to do with Phisycs at all

@MroczMR center your wheel, trurn fast half wheel to left or right, and you will see the delay time from your turning and the virtual wheel turning on screen, that is input lag, an issue very much known with D3T Ldt studio which has it also on shenmue remasters or Sega mega drive classics collection ....

@TypeRDC5 input lag is also there on gamepad, but virtual wheel moves faster and not natural due short streering degrees a joystick have (90 degrees aprox),so it's less obvious in first instance.

 

[aaron0288]

^ Got that boys? Even though you’re enjoying the game and don’t notice any input lag, Donnced wants you to notice it to prove to you he knows it’s there.

I’m sure it’s there, but just let people enjoy the game for goodness sake. There really is no need to jump in and get people to actively look for issues who are enjoying the game and are either A, not noticing the issues or B, just don’t really care about them. You seem to be on some sort of crusade against D3T. It’s weird.

 

[Johnnn]

OK, I will compare XSX and PC version today on a gamepad.

edit:
Or rather last-gen? I can try X1X too.

I also should say that i have old LCD TV which probably also have bigger input lag than most new tvs and monitors. For me it is good enough.


BTW. After seeing some multiclass action in ACC with British GT pack. I really do hope they will increase car count in PS5/XSX patch. Having just 20 cars with multiclass would be a waste.

Issue is there, and I really don't care a 🤬 if it's D3T fault, or 505 or how cares.

Input lag is bad for a racing Sim, point

Personally I do enjoy the game, but also don't gonna deny the bad porting and work of any studio.
I also report patch after patch.

If you don't like my posts, opinions or points of view,it's easy, just ignore me

But remember one thing,how more people report things,more probabilities to get them fixed or that at least they try it.

Have a nice day

 

[bleeder]

I get no input lag on PS5, the delay between moving my T300 and the in-game wheel is non existent. It was definitely worse on PS4 and I assume that's down to the doubling of FPS now.

Even scrolling through the MFD is less laggy on PS5.

 

[Johnnn]

I tested X1X with ~30 and PC with 60 FPS. X1X version is laggy by design because frame rate is very low. So I can clearly see it's not as fast it would be with 60 FPS. But that's not wrong. 30 FPS is just slow and it's not good for racing games. On the other hand, for 30 FPS game it's very playable and you can't go much wrong with it if you don't care about FPS.

Other interesting stuff is consoles version has different physics than current PC one. I am not sure completely but it was easier to drive on X than on PC. Could be framerate but maybe not. Needs more research.

So I probably stay with my XSX version because differences are not as big as I thought.

 

[Johnnn]

@Donnced You are maybe right. Today I fired up my XSX and played a bit. Gameplay is great but it was a bit heavy. Sure, could be a design but there could be very small input lag. I tried PC version in the same time and I would say it's better. But difference is very small at least and I am still not sure because I have Elite 2 for my Xbox and common one for my PC. But there could be something...

What about slower input reading? I mean lower frequency.

 

[John G]

@MroczMR center your wheel, trurn fast half wheel to left or right, and you will see the delay time from your turning and the virtual wheel turning on screen, that is input lag, an issue very much known with D3T Ldt studio which has it also on shenmue remasters or Sega mega drive classics collection ....

How do you know that's input lag vs animation lag? If there was significant input lag why would it only be on the steering and not the gear shifts too?
I agree that on the screen the wheel is a bit behind your inputs which is why I don't use that driving view but personally I have no issue with input lag. Not saying there is *no* input lag, there might be a small amount, but it's not as bad as the animation makes out

Also my T300 is perfectly weighted for me at 65 gain (similar to AC at 35 or GTS at 3). But the quality of FFB is a step above GTS. or maybe its the modelling. In any case, you can actually pick up a feel of the tarmac and the tyres in ACC whilst GTS feels like perfectly smooth track and steering FFB is just like a dull spring most of the time. I get bored doing hotlaps on GTS after 15 mins but I can go for hours on ACC

As for increasing car count, if they do it for multiplayer then you'll decrease the available players a lot because then it won't be compatible with current gen, and it also won't be compatible with PC. I can't ever see it will be cross platform PS to xbox, if it was possible why would that be a next gen only thing and not current gen?
But no reason it can't happen for single player modes. Especially in mixed class it would be cool to have bigger grids.
