Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Kurt Woods]

I read a few posts where people are having the game "stutter" recently and I just started to have an issue with it as well for the past while. I don't know why, I'm a firm believer of if its not broke don't fix it, so its not from changing settings or messing around with things, but maybe someone more tech savvy than I may have an idea what's going on. I've attached a pic of two screen shots of Afterburner, taken during gameplay. My concern is why the GPU usage is constant with one car in practice, but fluctuating so dramatically on a full grid of cars racing. I'm running a 2070 super 8gb, and just recently started to experience this, as previously the GPU would always by maxxed during gameplay but still very smooth with playable FPS.

Continue defending a guy that steals other people's mods and repost them on his site and not sharing his 'updates' with the original modder, way to go mate

for you maybe, not for me, LODs are essential for me to be able to run races with several cars without performance problems, since simplygon was stop many modders haven't been looking for workarounds, but ACTK must have found one because he's still making them. Yes, I like his work because it's not just reuploading but optimizing and correcting minor bugs, but if creators were a little more careful, he wouldn't need to touch them. When I ask him for a correction, he does it without any problem, and I'm sure that if modders asked him for a correction, he'd do it out of pleasure.

thats just the cpu bottleneck. in single player the cpu has not realy to do many. so the gpu can reach its maximum performance. But with 32 Ai the CPU is fully loaded doing physics and other stuff and so the GPU must wait for the end of that cycle to get the data for the graphics to draw and it has not realy much to do in that big time frame.

So just think about, that your CPU can't reach 90 fps with 32 AI currently. So the only thing you could do is reducing AI or gaining CPU speed. Maybe the car mod has its influence on that too.

And if you just want to technically reach your GPUs limits with 32 AI, you could just increase graphics settings like extraFX or other expensive graphics settings, but it will not gain your fps, it will just gain the time the gpu needs to draw the frame and so it will again reach that flat line.

But he could at least ask or say, hey, here are some errors that I could fix




i try to use the Cockpit from the FM4 Astra for the Vectra

Marc the problem is not what he does but how he does it. Then, just to say, it's not the modder who has to "ask", if anything it's the opposite, which never happens. And as for the optimization question, well I don't want to come up with the same story over and over again. But if he is happy like this, then we are all happy.

considering the number of mods he fixes every day, it would be impossible to know where each modder is.

Lately he "add" cockpit_HR in cars that already have it, yeah really helpfull to the community...

CAR UPDATE :

PIPER GTR V1.1​

- Now in 2 cars : the Piper GTR 1.3l and the Piper GTR 2.0l
Those are the 2 real existing versions of the car. The first one being made for Le Mans, the later being made for Chris Barber racing with a BMW engine. The 2 liter one is probably the best choice for racing against the WSC pack. No particular difference between the 2 cars, except the power/engine.

- Completely new physics (for both), made by the one and only GØD
And it is uncomparably better than the Frankenstein I did first. Now if feels like a proper Piper!


And also :

• New LODs, correctly made this time
• Cockpit_LR added to LOD_A
• shadow fix by Masscot
• side windows re-made, with the little hole on the top and opened on the driver's side
• Wheels resized
• New collider by GØD, for cleaner racing
• Probably a few other things that I forgot

DOWNLOAD ME​

Enjoy !

if he writes it down, it must be missing elements

 

[ItsHords]

when he notes that the COCKPIT_HR was incomplete

The guy is a hack job, He "updates" tracks and cars with literally 0 info on what he changed. His constant "added data to data.acd" only for it to be the exact same is an on going joke already with people that deal with his constant garbage.

He knows 100% where all the modders are, He's in majority of the big servers otherwise he would not be actively finding the mods the same days they come out. The only reason he dont contact the modders who's mod he modifies is cause he wants to upload his "versions" to sharemods and modsfire and earn 0.00001$ for each download.

Hack job trough and trough.

The stutters are the reason I cannot update to the newest version of CSP, which then means I can't use the latest version of Pure. I'm still using Pure 0.193 and CSP 1.80preview9 because that's the last combo without the micro stutters. With every new CSP version I give it another try and they are still there. I've eliminated it being a Pure issue because it still exists even when I use Pure 0.193 with the newest version of CSP. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what has changed in newer CSP versions that introduced these occasional micro stutters.

If we follow your reasoning, what do we call modders who use torn 3D models from other games that end up on patreon, elite hackers
?

Only took half a dozen attempts to get it from GTP downloads, but it eventually got to the end without disconnecting and restarting from scratch.

there is a problem with the size of the virtual wheels, the wheels are too much in the ground in play.

a modder who still knows how to take the time to make LODs , acclamation

@Peter Boese in the default WeatherFX debug app, rain thickness can apparently be overridden at set at 0mm, enabling the full wet visuals but without the loss of grip.
Does such an option exist in Pure, letting us enjoy the visual rain effects in full glory but maintaining normal grip?
This would be very useful in races where changeable weather is wanted (eg, the race starts dry and sunny, but then a thunderstorm rolls in and dumps its load for a lap or two, then the sun comes out again and the race finishes dry) without the need to pit twice to change tyres just so you can stay on the track. Pit stops in AC are pretty clunky and normally involve teleporting and ghost cars, so are often best avoided to maintain immersion.

 

[Schussnik]

@Peter Boese : just wanted say thank you again for all your work, I've been testing LCS compatibility with Pure's latest version and I'm pleasantly surprised by the results



P.S: you'll probably see lots of "not right things" in these screens but to my non-expert eyes it just looks great 😅

I would be curious to know what your VRAM usage looks like during the race with 32 opponents.

This ^. I can workaround the pit stops by modifying the cars' car.ini to use Version 1 physics, so they don't pit, but some are encrypted and I can't do that for those. I also feel like I'm hacking the heck out of cars just so they don't pit in the rain which feels ick. In addition, if I use or mod the car.ini on the car I'm driving in the grid, I can also drive in rain without loosing grip. I don't like doing all this, it's a pain. If there were a way, as Masscot was talking about to keep the awesome rain visuals without the 'physics' and 'pitting ai' of it, that would be grand. I mean it, man that would make me do the happy dance.

Review of my AC projects:



F1 2026 Alpha version to download tomorrow. It will include active aero system (as a only DRS atm) and a liveriable car (i wouldnt recommend doing liveries because this could change in future versions)

F2 was about to be released until I realized of some mesh poor quality sections. Then I redid the whole bodywork from 0, and some other things. I stoped due inactivity and complexity on the UV map. If someone can help me doing the UV map, feel free to contact me!

Detroit Street Circuit will be updated this week as we are updating the whole track with the new 2024 updates (will update this post with pics later) It will include new billboards, with that flag stripes effect on it, the new runoff in the port, new textures, new and more different kind of asphalts, better surroundings and more things i dont remember, or maybe nothin else, idk

Spoiler: More big pictures

 

[Teddie]

I'm getting back into track making... (anxious as my memory sucks... don't remember how I did anything tbh). lol

Wondering if as a community, do we have a 'bucket' of good trees and veggie that we have collected and are using at this point to prevent ****ty tree syndrome. The trees I used on "Little Baja" are atrocious. I thought I was using the same ones I used on my Philippines tracks, but I don't think that's the case.

EDIT: haha, I thought about this and I certainly didn't use the same trees I used for my Phillipines tracks. I had to make the palm trees from scratch now that I remember. But it was tropical vs. baja desert. So wouldn't be the same. Victory for my bad memory this morning. w00tzors.

Question for the car mod guys. The TRR McLaren 720s sits too low as you can see in the attached pic. The tyres are showing through the top of the wheel well. What is the easiest way to raise the body of the car visually in a way that it won't impact how the car handles. Thanks for any advice...

 

[SpiteFuL]

Some news on Bazza's next project. So glad that the periscopic is finally making it to the game!

anyone know of a way to convert Nr2003 tracks? Would like to do/have Walt disney World speedway done but have no idea how. I know its possible because the Nazareth mod is a Nr conversion for sure

@drivewilliams
Just for fun I took your suggestion and as you can see in the attached pic, the game loaded up the 8gb before I even got in the car. That's with 32 opponents at Sebring.

You just need to edit the graphical offset in the car.ini inside the data folder. I'd however suggest just deleting anything made by TRR.

I was just asking about this on one of our discords a while back. I needed the DW Speedway for a custom championship I was setting up. I still have not found one anywhere. If I ever get a good roll on my return from my track making hiatus, it might be one that I take a look at making. I dunno. But if you find a version, please let us know. I had to ommit it from my championship, booo.

For those still wondering about the graphical improvements that LCS will bring, Peter Boese posted this comparison. My mind exploded:

Pure Gamma + pure ppfilter/Pure LCS + pureLCS ppfilter

Call me crazy, but I prefer the non LCS picture. The colors are more vibrant, especially the sky, and the overall color palette looks more realistic. Just my opinion.
