Assetto Corsa EVO Early Access Discussion Thread

[Apocalypse211]

Last time I started and updated my EVO, I go directly to those "missions" and credits, without being able to actually drive the other cars (like Porsche and Camaro, etc). I just don't bother with that Gran Turismo-type of arcade stuff and simply quit in the menu.

This was the direction I didn't want EVO to take. I have zero interest in that. Is it still that way now?

So you mean that just option to do something other than lonely hot laps or online lobbies means a full arcade. The ones just mentioned are still in the game.

I booted up ACE for about 40 minutes last night.

I struggled to maintain 60fps in both events I tried. Worst of all, the menus are so laggy. It's especially frustrating to see all the menu buttons on the screen locked behind a "Loading..." popup, which I presume is because you have to reconnect to their servers.

Make sure you disable fps limiter and v sync at game settings
run with DLSS or MSAA don''t use together

Switch to offline mode to drive what you want, Settings/Gameplay/

Lord Kunos is back, will be interesting to see impact he can have as I think they really need someone like him to try and make the game more realistic and performant.

Co-Founder Stefano Casillo Rejoins Kunos Simulazioni

After a five-year absence, Stefano Casillo is back on board with Kunos Simulazioni, according to a LinkedIn update.

This is great news and something I was hoping for. I wonder if it happened because Kunos were perhaps struggling with some things? I remember Ian Bell saying he hired 32 people to do the job Stefano did. I also remember Stefano saying if money was no issue he'd love to work on an open world SIM and 30s F1. Maybe this drew him back.

So you mean that just option to do something other than lonely hot laps or online lobbies means a full arcade. The ones just mentioned are still in the game.

Tbf he didn't say the game arcade, he said arcadey stuff. Which I don't have an issue with if you can just completey avoid it if you wish.

There is (and always will be) 2 game modes.
Online, with missions, licenses, credits, etc….
Offline, with all cars and track content available to race or practice.
You can switch from one to the other with a toggle in hud tab.
Since, at this point I already have pass the licenses, do not care for hot laps rating, do not care to accumulate credits to unlock content, I now spend all my time in offline mode, driving and racing the available content like in AC, ACC or any other SIM I enjoy.

This is good advice. It definitely helped me get solid frame rates.

Its was cleared months ago that ac evo is not just going to be hot lap simulator witch is not a bad thing. Make it better as game is thing that will pull in more people.

The things you want can be done by turning it in offline mode.

Marco confirmed in an interview that Evo won't be a sandbox like AC and ACC (skip to 1:08:53):

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Kunos has said anything to correct Marco's comments. The impression I got regarding Offline Mode was that the patch at launch allowing all content offline was temporary (though once again, correct me if I'm wrong).

If the sandbox mode is made available at launch (and if it works fully offline), then I'll buy the game - those are my only deal-breakers currently.

You are wrong.

It is the other way around. Online was not available at launch of EA, hence all we had was Offline.
It has been clearly stated by Kunos, that all content would be available to play with in a "conventional" manner.
The Online/Offline toggle is not a temporary feature.
I think in time, more will be developed within both mode, with Online getting more and more available "activities". But the concept will remain.
Offline like AC is and Online like what can be done in GT or Forza.
Offline is what I am really interested in, but I plan to explore Online, from time to time, as it develop.

We just have to wait and see. A sandbox mode is not something i care much about. But i completly understand why it would be important for some people.

I prefer working my self up with a slower car and progress. Upgrade, customize buy a new car etc. Something thats been completly lacking in any simulator. I think kunos understand this is important to try to reach a much wider audiance.

Single player and progression is something thats went really downhill in many modern racing titles. Witch i think is a shame. When it use to be nailed with most racing titles between 2000-2012. I really missed that. Didint know how much i missed it until i replay gt4 specll and now playing through forza motorsport 3 project plus such amazing single player experinces. Something has gone terrible wrong in this era.
