Hmmm, after firing it up on my PC, (because I noticed that all the DLC is on offer on Steam atm), I've just had a really great race around Brands in the GT3 NSX. I've tried a couple of times to get into this game but have never been that fussed but now I'm not so sure, it felt like something finally 'clicked'. Need to keep playing perhaps I can finally enjoy it.. :)
 
That's just it. My limit was 19 drivers when I began the championship so I don't know what gives?
Yeah, I’m flicking through the Championships Preliminary Settings and those are limited to 19 opponents. Single Player Quick Race through to Custom Race Weekend, allow up to 29 Opponents. Maybe a predetermined program for us console players.

Edit from the gtp article
Along with a UI overhaul, a major playability feature for ACC 1.8 was Open Season. This merged all of the game content into a sandbox mode, allowing players to race any kind of grid, including a multiclass mixing slider to set the number of cars from each group, at any tracks they choose.

Thank you for checking it as I was going to check it when I got home but I'm not home yet.

I was feeling quite dim thinking there was something I was doing wrong.

I guess I could just do a custom race weekend for more cars on the grid

1.8 console update. So it is 29/9/2022 Many of us are waiting patiently with building excitement. We all have only 9 days left till the major release what will change ACC gameplay a lot.

I’m from London UK and have been racing AC and ACC on PS4 and PS5. I’ve raced over 1000+ hours on AC and over 1000+hrs on ACC PS4 version. Now building up big time on PS5. Joined a league, 10TENTH RACING COMMUNITY, fantastic! True addict, aren’t you? Since release of ACC I had many serious problems with the game. And with every new update, with release of PS5 console, with new ACC console version I have felt a lot of new optimistic expectations followed by disappointment and a letdown from game developers. I’ve been lucky to always have a good FFB on my T300 Ferrari Alcantara edition and now DD1, but there were other problems what took a lot of nerve and patience. It’s hard to remember all the issues but there are few what stand out to me. For example not able to join multiplayer and the proposed fix was to delete my carefully selected 300 racing friends from AC and ACC. Of course I refused to do that and kept waiting till issue was fixed. That was a big wait but I used time to practice my racing in single player. Another problem is crashing Career. It crashed on three occasions trying to complete career endurance race of 3hours non stop racing. It crashed twice somewhere in last leg. Other day I completed the race, crossed finish line and while checking lap times game crashed not saving my career endurance progress. I was fuming! Another issue we all experienced was game simply crashing midrace, it happened a lot. So annoying and was makings me really angry when I had a good race. Then replay save crash needs to be looked at. Even now after all possible updates on PS5 software and ACC PS5 version updates I am experiencing game crashes, some DD1 disconnects, poor visuals as shading under cars, cars flickering. Other minor game bugs - Pit entrance notice issue, not able to use mapped buttons to look left/right as I can on AC version, no in cockpit turn indicators and headlighs LED’s. Sound issues after watching replay and rejoining track. One occation I had cockpit view flickering in career race, there was no flickering from outside view. Many gamers have poor FFB and other issues with game. The most major is game crashing and disconnects while racing leagues Championships. Over 2 years time since ACC console release game is not in a perfect state yet, but it’s playable and enjoyable. I wish there was more communication and a HELPING HAND between Kunos and UntoldGames who develops console version now. I wish thee was more communication from 505games what is distributor’s of console ACC. And I believe we console players deserve an APOLOGY from 505 games and Kunos for a big letdown because I believe game is not completed, it’s got many problems and is like in a beta version. We PS5 players are lucky to have both versions available to play side by side on PS5. I switch between PS5 and PS4 version because PS5 lobbies has small attendance numbers.

With 1.8 version PS5 and Xbox UntoldGames has to nail it. No excuses, it has to be perfection. Watching official Kunos ytube channel I learned Marcos, Aris and team still have that passion, they put a lot of effort developing PC 1.8 version what is a massive overhaul of ACC what changed already great game to something fascinating and they are proud of it. Would be shame if UntoldGames would do a poor job with console 1.8 version and drop all that KUNOS effort down in a mud. We don’t know what to expect precisely, announcement stated upgraded tyre model and 400hz + different liveries? We will see. Researching PC 1.8 update, numerous patch notes and reviews I learned about UPDATED rain visuals, rain tyre handling, rain track limits, cars BOP’s, reworked replay camera angles, mist and dew conditions, there is so much more. PC 1.8 version is always updated. So which 1.8 version + latest update we console gamers will receive is not known yet. But it will change the game for sure.

I booted the game yesterday on my ps5 after not playing it for a long time just to do some quick races offline. The driving is so satisfying. It really bums me that they didn’t develop the online part of the game. I also think this game would benefit from an assisted mode where you don’t have to deal with pitstops, rolling starts and setups. I now it strives for realism but in some cases that comes at a cost of, not only lower player base of course, of fun and accessibility as well as spending more time driving instead of the other stuff.

I’m excited for the new update but I’ve seen what they did in the past with other updates. I hope they do it right this time, but I’m not optimistic.
 
Guys, what’s the current state of the steering lock on PS5? Do we still need to adjust it based on which car we’re driving? I’m on a G29 if that makes any difference.

Also, can someone share their settings for the G29? I can’t seem to find a setting I’m comfortable. It’s like the car only starts to turn after I turn the wheel to what I would say it would be too much.
 

It sounds great, however, and I know the best way to experience this game is with a wheel etc etc, however, it sounds an awful lot like its going to become a lot harder/worse for controller players.

Time will tell.

No need to adjust it, the game will set the right rotation.
The only thing you set is your wheels max rotation.

I can’t adjust that on the G29. When the game came out the console version didn’t adjust the wheel steering lock, only PC. Are you saying it does work on console now?

It's easier. Saw a video regarding the PC update and the guy said it's like playing a Forza or GT on a controller now.

If that's the case then that would be amazing. I'll take it with a pinch of salt though, both those games are of course excellent on controller.

I used to play on the dualsense and I think it plays well enough. The only issue is is not as comfortable for long sessions.

I can confirm it's definitely playable on controller and 1.8 feels so much better Vs 1.7. I use an Xbox controller on my PC. Not Forza or GT level though! But definitely doable once you get your head around it.
 
Seeing this update actually makes me want to buy a PS5.
If you can find one, get it! PC2 (a 5 yr old game) is much better on the PS5.

ACC is fantastic now on my PS5, and that's coming from a guy who gave up on it numerous times.

Sometimes I feel guilty for having a PS5 because so many people can't find one.

I don't even think it's that bad as it is right now. My only gripe is the frame rate at times on the SX. Bathurst is like going back two generations. So it's a shame I'll probably only ever do quick races on certain tracks. I pretty much bought it for Laguna Seca anyway, after seeing some footage. But also to see what my SX could do.. 😢
