Had a problem running the game today. Had to disable post processing effects in options. Before that, I couldn't do practice, race or even a benchmark test without the game sending me back to the main menu during a loading screen. đź‘Ž

Has this happened to anyone here?
 
That's rich. You can try being less of a douche bag yourself by not antagonizing those who do not share your far right wing views (particularly on Jalopnik sister sites).
By that logic, there can never be a perfect race track. That's just fine though, because variety and imperfections can be appealing things themselves.
Well nothing can be perfect can it? The ring is extremely long, so one could say it is not perfect for that reason, or it is too narrow for racing, or some people may just hate it. I fortunately love it.

If this happens again, check the resolution you have the game set to. For some reason, my game popped out of 1920x1080 and switched to a resolution my TV can't handle. The Assetto Corsa menus loaded fine. I could go to options & all that jazz, but when I would press Start or whatever the button is called (I use Content Manager, so I don't remember) it would start loading the track & my car(s) and then throw me back to the main menu...Once I fixed the gameplay resolution all was fine.
 
Awww someone a little testy? Do you need a safe space? Can I get you some coloring books?
People are such douche bags.
Case in point.

But maybe it's really you who needs a safe space. Instead of defending your asinine false equivalency, you ran here to take a shot at liberals. Poor precious snowflake can't take any scrutiny?
Apologies, but some people need to be called out for their ******** and not let off the hook.

Interesting. The resolution wasn't the issue for me though. In fact I've tried changing it a few times. I play on a monitor but I could see how that could cause problems.

Sigh. Big 🤬 sigh. No place is safe these days, except maybe very near the Ark.

... so anyway, Highlands is alright. I like it better than Black Cat County because it feels a little more like an actual road when you're out in the country. But I still don't love it as a track. I guess being spoiled by Gran Turismo's fantasy tracks all those years has ruined me.

I would love to see Circuit de la Sierra as a high-quality mod track.

For those of you wondering why this psycho, SagarisGTB is stalking me from another site, it must have to do with this comment (the top one in my history) I made a few days ago on some Kinja site I can't remember ever being on:

This comment was left on an article about that piece of trash KKK dude who was found dead. It now looks like his wife & kid did it, or something like that. I haven't been following the story. My feelings are that many libs will clap their hands, pop champagne and cry tears of joy when a white piece of trash is killed. Again, I put murdered in parenthesis because I assumed he had been murdered. Notice I say that his thoughts are disgusting and his hate speech is vile!

However, those same libs will cry for two weeks straight, smash up businesses in "protest" and call for the death of white cops when a minority is killed during the commission of a felony - and the only reason the cops were even onto this dude was because he just committed a different felony. I'm talking about Michael Brown. The guy who just strong arm robbed a store, reached into a police cruiser and started punching a cop in the face, reached for the cops gun, not to tickle him with it - a round went off inside the cruiser which could have killed the cop. Then when he's walking away and the cop gets out of the car, Michael Brown charges the cop. Why? To give him an apology? He would have killed that much smaller cop if he could have.

The reason I brought up Michael Brown? This article brought him up to remind us how the cop executed him. Executed!! Not killed in self-defense. Executed. So, I think both parties are pieces of trash and I personally won't lose sleep over either death. You'll see that the author of this article believes that the police department was just assaulting protesters left & right after the justified shooting of Mr. Brown. They were burning down businesses left and right because they're nice people. Here's the ending of that article:

I have nothing to hide. Again, I think both parties - the KKK loser and Mr. Brown - were horrible people. And I think left-wing nuts applaud the death of any white man they don't like while sticking up for any minority who dies at the hand of a policeman, especially a white policeman. No matter why the minority was killed. These cops who do murder minorities? Give them the electric chair. They're pieces of garbage too. The cop in Ferguson was going to die that day if he didn't put down the man committing felonies that day.

I never thought I'd have a stalker. Feels kind of weird. :lol:
 
For those of you wondering why this psycho, SagarisGTB is stalking me from another site,
Don't flatter yourself, I'm not stalking you. I'm a long time lurker/poster on this site (since 2006), who came across your inane baiting comment on that Jalopnik sister site (I occasionally visit Jalopnik) and recognized your screen name. The next time I came to this site, I saw your post:
I should report you for body shaming the Lamborghini cars. You better check your privilege... :mad: That's it. You've upset me so much. I need to go and find a safe space...and I pray they have coloring books there. :nervous:
That pissed me off.

This isn't about Michael Brown. This is about your presumptions and stereotyping. Personal politics isn't a team sport, there is a large degree of variance and individuality in personal views and conduct throughout groups that identify with terms such as liberal or conservative. Blanket statements, presumptions and overt mocking are what I have issue with. If you had read the comments in response to that article, you would have known there was no "crying tears of joy" or even much demonstrable celebrating of the man's death, but a pervading sentiment of "good" and "good riddance" at the end of a despicable man.

And cut the ad hominems.

You need help.
 
About Assetto Corsa 2 tech thing on Stefano YouTube page : It would be a nonsense that Stefano wouldn't work on an Assetto Corsa 2. Dynamic track and dynamic weather is big enough to challenge Kunos dev team for years. I will for sure pay for any new dlc and new AC because it is not that often that I am so pleased by a software.
 
Hi guys.... From the online streaming video of Stefano Casillo playing with Luca Sondano yesterday afternoon... There is something that caught the attention....

As you can see.....Assetto Corsa 2.... Is Stefano already working on it?:eek:

Pretty sure Marco mentioned they discussed AC2 or were going to?

Anyhow, Yeah for sure Kunos have much work to do. I think maybe some things may be beyond them unless they double their staff. In one thread when discussing rain, Stefano mention no game does rain where it accumulates (this was before pc2 trailer) so they may look to that. One thing i would like to see is the possibility to edit camera positions on each corner, narrate your own replays. I think Kunos need to try to bring something different to the table than other games that goes beyond the wow factor in a trailer.

The SimBin guys are saying the same things about GTR3 with the Unreal4 engine, accumulating puddles that disperse as you drive through them, aquaplaning, and even having it raining on certain parts of the track and not raining on other parts (as often happens in the real world). Seems like that engine has a ton of promise to both improve features and make development easier. I wonder if Kunos has looked into using it, seems like it would fix a lot of the problems/omissions with the current engine and make developing across multiple platforms way easier.

That would be great to have a weather system like that, in any racing game. I feel Kunos definitely need to try to equal or come close to other games features in AC2. In that thread Stefano did mention not knowing wether AC2 meant rewriting the engine or using an existing one such as Unreal4. I think he said it would depend on what made more sense.

I wonder if Kunos would still consider Unreal4 now that GTR3 will be using it? Also would they still be able to retain the look of AC albeit with far better effects?

Read this article and it's pretty clear which option makes more sense.

http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/gtr3-interview-with-simbin-uk.131589/

Quote from the article:

"I think first and foremost we have to be realistic from a few sides, development cycle, what the engine has to offer and ultimately money. You have to understand that developing an engine is quite a cumbersome, lengthy and expensive procedure. What Unreal offers us right out the box is an engine that works, a pretty powerful engine might I add that offers developers like ourselves to take advantage of and give us a headstart. Why would we at this stage spend 8-12 months just working on an engine when it’s there already? It’s a no brainer."

They also talk about how much easier it is to create a multi-platform game using Unreal, which I think we can all agree is an area Kunos needs a lot of help with.
 
Where can I find information about that "Unreal" engine that all the developper are willing to use for their next game, who makes it? Why is it so special?

Thanks i will read that, i am going to guess that was not an option for Kunos originally or was not needed at that time considering their plans.

Read the link I just posted and it gives you a small idea of what's possible with the engine for racing sims. It certainly sounds like it could literally be a game changer. I don't know all the details but it sounds like it's extremely flexible as far as features/functions/development and the proof of concept screenshots from GTR3 looks gorgeous IMO. If it pans out it could replace gmotor as the foundation for many future racing sims.
 
If you haven't already you should download the UE4 tech demos, such as the Paris apartment demo:



One thing is to watch it on YT, but when you load it up yourself you'll hardly believe what you see. Insane graphics!


Christ. Yeah, give me all my future racing sims on that engine please. :bowdown:
 
I feel dumb. I just reinstalled Assetto Corsa, because it just wouldn't load into the track, just boot me right out. Somehow in Display Settings it changed to VR... What. :lol: Hopefully ill have my wheel Monday, so ill be able to try AC out :P

I had that happen when I setup the new PC a couple weeks ago.
 
I hate to get my hopes up too much for AC2, but the tools and the demand are there. With Digital Bros, the resources should be as well.

I'm not too optimistic about GT Sport, and not optimistic at all for PCars 2. AC2 will come quite a bit later but I'm only looking forward to that really.
