I think game economy, car tuning, car customization, open world is huge for a sim racing game, it never been done before. Kunos have my faith and respect for what they trying to do. It could be really huge in the future.

I have give feedback on the game economy. Its a bit to easy to earn money at the moment. But thats why we give kunos feedback so we could have a good progression for final release. Same for bugs and other stuff as well.

Some can argue that its quite hard, casual players in particular. A difficulty adjustment for that would be unique for a racing title
 
They are most definitely going to adjust the earnings rate, and I also think it's not very balanced right now. I quite like the fact that you can switch between a more traditional progression game and a sandbox with a flick of a setting in the options. That's what I want: to have to option to choose. Not sacrificing one gameplay style at the expense of the other. I hope that's the intent, the one that allows for multiplayer tied with progression and online-saves and the sandbox, completely offline.

YT was suggesting me this video, tried it and worked pretty well on my setup (locked @60fps/4k 43" tv)
Before after 30min or so I would start to have drop from 60 to 13 every 15/20sec or so, now its stable after 2h of gameplay

 
The final version will have improvements in many things, I am sure that there will be an improved presentation in the Academy and other menus such as the dealership (Kunos has a much more advanced build than we think, We can saw evident improvements on the UI in last year's Christmas video)

These Academy tests are tough...

Trying to get three stars on the electric Alpine hatchback is a right pain. I'm playing on an Xbox controller.

Doesn't help that I'm having the judge perfectly jumping the lights because the 'reaction' time of the standing starts assist is woeful...

Hoping for more changes to come as this early access continues

I think the required times for 3 stars is fair, and comparable to the CE gold in GT7. Having said that, the Alpine EV was definitely the most challenging so far for me. I tried the hot stint last night in that thing and gave up after lap 2. The understeer and lack of corner rotation is just not enjoyable.

They really need to fix the online mode disconnects. 3 academy challenges that I beat yesterday didn't count due to the game going offline.
 
Good update. Car detail has been improved since i last played ac evo 0.1.2
Tested academy fun but challanging. Vr looks good but dosent perform well maybe worst waiting to early access release 2 before giving it another go.
 
My game is consistently crashing when it attempts to load into the track area now.. mostly since the latest online version of the game. Using an AMD 5600XT with the latest drivers for the GPU and Adrenaline software. Any ideas? Thanks!

Since you don't mention what you have tried then:
A. Verify integrity of game files in Steam
B. Delete Documents\ACE folder (you will have to reconfigure everything)
C. B + uninstall and reinstall game

In that order.

I tried step A by itself, but no change, so I'm now trying B and C. Additionally, every time the game crashes I get an AMD Bug Report box that pops up with the message, "AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occurred on your system," then gives me the option to submit a report. In any case, I'll try again after the reinstall.

Update: The game runs better/faster during menu navigation after the reinstall, but still crashes when loading to the track.

¿Virtual memory? That's not the same than actual physical RAM (16 GB should be the minimum this days, 32 GB is better) or VRAM. Unfortunately, 6 GB of VRAM these days is becoming insufficient to run current and future games.

Yeah, my physical RAM is 32 GB. Could I somehow configure things to take better advantage of it, in lieu of my insufficient vram?

Depending on the resolution you want to play in, start with the medium preset and set the framerate limiter to 60 fps. I would suggest trying your settings on a quick race at night with at least a dozen or so other AI cars to see how that stresses your cpu/card's performance. If your card is Radeon, use FSR (start with balanced) and see if you like the image quality.

Well, at the moment, I'm just trying to run the game without it crashing when loading to the track!

AC EVO is probably the one that will keep GT out of the PC realm for good.
AC Evo will never get close to the number of licensed cars in GT (or Forza for that matter). The priorities of the two franchises remain different.

AC Evo will also have quite a struggle for user base since it can't rely on endless mods to make up for the relatively small licensed car content.
