Assetto Corsa EVO Early Access Discussion Thread

From what it looks game needs like around 2 more years to be in proper quality/content state

Yep, not impressed with the launch!

Looking forward to this masterpiece. Hopefully this will put some pressure on GT7 so that they can start adding more meaningful content and learn from the community.

From years upon years of observation of what PD do, they don't care about what other studios are doing and even less so, learning from their community.

Probably around a year or so just like the roadmap states? 😃 That's what this is. That's what we're doing here. We're early accessing something that isn't done. Looking forward to the updates though.

I have not played ACC and I briefly played the original when it was on Game Pass, ages ago, but based on what I've seen/read on the game, I jumped blindly, seeing that the price was quite reasonable and that I could refund it if I disliked it within the 2-hour Steam window. But after what I've played so far... I'm very eager to stick with it.

For an early access launch is on the better side, he'll I've seen far worse full launches (looking at you NASCAR Ignition).

Just watched

This looks like it could be a real competitor to GT7. I did notice a lot of pop in/out in the video (which apparently is in the release notes) and he's running a super powerful card but it'll be interesting so see how this matures. By the time I complete GT7 I may be ready to switch...

That's good to hear. It sounds like you have a head on your shoulders unlike some of these others with torches and pitchforks.
These people out here are nuts. I will admit, I've had graphical issues, a couple stutters. I selected Gooner Seca and they put me on Glands Snatch instead but I'm not worried. They'll keep working on it. Now if it was a year from now and these issues were still around, I'd be complaining.
In a game/sim environment where the level of detail and physics and just plain development are ridiculously time consuming, something needs to fund their effort for a small dev team like Kunos. I have no problem helping them out early on.

AC v1 early access started with just Imola and a few cars if I remember correctly. Just give them the early access period to gradually provide content.

Anyone else where game won’t launch? See a blurry empty garage and goes back to windows.

Check your antivirus isn't the issue, I got a warning and had to white list it to get around the same issue.

That seems to be state of game development these days. I'm finally enjoying AMS2 at v1.6... not v1.0. Tyres v10 were added to AC well after 1.0 release. Plenty of other games that needed ongoing development after "1.0 full" release.

no, doesn't work

Removed complete antivirus, stil does not start. I did switch on the " skip intro" when i was able to play the game? Maybe that triggered something? Removed whole game and reinstalled, still no luck

I did notice a lot of pop in/out in the video

I'm not seeing any pop in/out. I wonder if a lot of people haven't set all the graphics settings to max - there's a lot of them and it takes a bit of time to set them all to the max value. It's amazing to me that people in stream chats are forming negative opinions of the graphics based on low bitrate video footage with unknown quality settings.

Wasn't it Vallelunga? Too far back to properly remember.

I noticed it mostly in the mirrors but it could also be jumpy editing in the video - though I saw some commentators note it as well.

Deleting all files in documents ace map did the trick

Well, my i9-13900k has been getting less and less stable for the past few months, and the crashing finally became intolerable. Decided to switch to team red and get an AMD CPU. The downside being that I had to replace my motherboard, and my old cooler doesn't have an adapter available for the AM5 socket.

So I picked up a bundle from Microcenter today: Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Asus B650-A, and some matching G.Skill ram to bring the total to 64GB since it was part of the bundle. And since I had to replace the cooler I got a NZXT Kraken because I kinda wanted to dial back the RGB anyway.

Somehow this all comes together to look suspiciously like a microwave from the side.

EDIT: I mean I pulled the trigger on the fix to be ready for AC: Evo, so it's still relevant. But man I gotta double check what thread I'm on before posting. Upside is it runs the game beautifully.

I've maxed the settings out now, but my recollection is the mirrors defaulted to very low quality settings, so maybe they hadn't increased them? I just did some laps and looked at the wing mirror and couldn't see any pop-in. The rear view mirror in the Porsche GT3 Cup seems to be bugged and shows the car's interior, so I can't comment on pop-in for that.

I agree with the ACC sentiments, but the ACE difference could definitely be due to different types of cars. I have a feeling that GT3 machines will still feel somewhat sterile and on-rails in ACE...

I just did quite a few laps with the Porsche GT3 Cup, and maybe it was because I only had TC set to 1, but it felt massively more nuanced than ACC. I'd set TC higher, but the keyboard mapping to increase TC didn't seem to be working properly.

I can't decide if I want to get in on this early access program or not. I don't know how good it'll work on my computer right now. However I really want to know what the game feels like on a controller and potentially be able to help out with the development to refine it. As a player of GT7, Forza Horizon 5 and ACC, I know what the game needs to be both fun and realistic.

Well, I'm very pleased with my first day as an Assetto noob. I'm past the two-hour refund limit and it's safe to say I'm here for the long run.

I placed second in a night race at Imola with the Alfa Giulia. I've set the AI drivers to 80% because at 90% they were too much for me. I also had a crash, but it didn't repeat the next time I launched the game.

The main thing for me is that the control preset is quite welcoming for anyone with experience in other driving games, so my Forza habits have been translating well.

The thing people forget, is that this constant development after v1.0 is a good thing. Not only are games infinitely more vast and complex these days, but also back in the days before this you bought a game and were forever stuck with the bugs of the game.

Well, I gave it a crack running RTX 3060 and 32GB RAM and couldn't even run it on lowest graphics settings. CPU was fine, memory marginal, but GPU was maxing out at about 30-40 fps.

Oh well, will claim the refund from Steam and wait a couple of years for the console release 😥

I've actually been thinking of giving iRacing a crack because the GT7 online experience is leaving me wanting - hopefully the dated graphics engine runs a bit better on my laptop!
