Haha, my patch download was on 2.9GB, took the advice and stopped it, uninstalling the game in Steam now :)

You can go into your settings and choose a different download location. If it isn't your ISP, you should be able to find a server that'll give you a better speed.

Without changing anything, now it raised, going from 200 to 500 up to even 800KB/s, but going quite random. I think it can be related to Steam server's overloaded.
 
I just installed it over the existing version. You will be prompted to delete certain things. OK those. Game runs fine. VERY FINE!!!! :D
 
I'm just about to leave to drive down to Sydney for World Time Attack Challenge so I won't get to play it until I get back, but I have uninstalled it and got it re-downloading now so I'll have it when I'm home :)
 
Getting really good performance, but deleted and decided to download again from scratch. Having major Dk2 issues and I wanted to make sure issues aren't because I only downloaded the update.

Although certain things with DK2 are just plain awful. Having to use the Rift as your primary display results in unreadable menu navigation (even if all my other issues are fixed with a re-install.)

For something this primitive, they really should have posted detailed instructions for optimal results.
 
That Alfa and the SLS GT3 are a real treat! And Spa is just epic :eek:

But I still haven't received an answer, can I still install the Nordschleife mod (or any other mod for that matter) or would I run into some compatibility issues?

I think it would just be a matter of trying and seeing. Install your mods one by one and start the game each time to see if you get any problems

Hows the FFB? and sound improvments?

I haven't tried the Nurb yet. I backed up my mods to another HDD without deleting them from the Assetoo Corsa folder to see what might still work. Tried a couple of modded cars and tracks and they still worked fine, with the only exception being the loss of sound in a modded car.

Graphics and framerate have improved nicely but I'm not really hearing any of the supposed sound improvements.

Alright, I'm just going to try then. So far I only have interest in Lake Louise and the Nordschleife anyways, so not that I really have that much to loose, eh? :)

Thanks anyways for the replies, fellas!

So far I've only tested the new cars. The Alfa has a very decent 4 Cyl. sound, the LaFerrari just sounds mental!
The SLS seems to have a fairly similar sound the stock SLS, although it seems to have a little more grunt, but overall I cannot complain much about the sound department. Actually going to check out the E30 M3 tomorrow, because this is the car I've been driving the most :lol:

In terms of force feedback I can't complain either, you can really feel when the car starts to loose grip, so I'm a happy man in that department as well.

Just saying:

I deleted all (backup) and now redownloading. 5.7 GB

Why is my AC 1.0 download 18gb?

Did you delete the whole Assetto Corsa folder and not just the mods you downloaded? When was the last time you updated the game if it isn't set to automatic?
Click to expand...

Well the devs suggest a clean install and to backup mods and stuff. So to do that AC is unistalled

Actually its 18gb but elsewhere states 5.7gb to download, no worries, problem solved

For the FPSes, mine raised by around 30 units, from 60-80 to 95-105, so higher and more stable, but it can be due to some changes on settings also, now that it has been released.

For the driving itself, I found it better, but my DFGT have broken FFB and I'm forced to play with 0% forse (so disabled), so I can't say on the wheel feeling itself.

Sound I found them improved also, but it can be just for me.

I found that the game crashes if I try to enable the tyre render (not tyre debug).
 
So DK2 support definitely gets a failing grade at this point. Really, they would have been better off listening to people cry about lack of support, because what they've included wasn't ready in the least bit.

Was I completely missing it or did things like cube faces completely disappear? Wonder if that's why most of us are getting higher performance levels. Maybe they defaulted some of those things down significantly.

Actually, when you start the game after the new 1.0RC patch, it tells you that its going to delete your documents folder which is where your saves and settings are stored, not the game directory itself, or it gives you the option to delete it manually if you want to back it up.
 
lmao @Blkout. :lol:

It had been a while since I had seen a Dmitri video, first time it being simracing releated. Whoever did that one is a genius.
 
@fatkrakr Hey man, did you get a chance to try AC with Simvibe? All I've gotten so far is that it's working with AC, but I'm not sure if more effects have been added or existing ones have been improved. You need to be using Simvibe 4 Beta from what I've gathered.

Have any of you gotten AC to work with 5.1 surround setups? FMOD was supposed to bring 5.1 to the table but my game is still in stereo. My audio config in Windows is correct.

Unfortunately the game still crashes when minimized which is a major inconvenience. :(

EDIT: No 5.1 sound is a bug, workaround here:

http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/rc-1-no-5-1-workaround-inside.15806/

Haven't tried it yet, will report back.

EDIT the second: Surround sound is fixed with that workaround!

Apparently they have changed:
Cubemap resolution -> Reflection quality (RQ)
Faces per frame -> Reflection rendering frequency (RRF)

And yes, RRF defaults to Static, which appears to be the reflections not moving at all. I get an insane framerate if I leave it at that. Doesn't really make much difference unless you use the bonnet view. I don't think it's very visible in replays either, unless you use a close up camera of the car. Anyway, as soon as I set RRF to Very Low the fps takes a huuuuge nose dive. Setting it higher gradually reduces the fps, but not nearly as much as the jump from Static to Very Low.
 
AI seems to be an improvement, dudes just won't slow down when you try to pass them. They'll even go 2 wide with you into corners. Pretty cool.

I've always thought there are two schools of building a simulator FFB engine:

1. Just simulate the real FFB effects on the steering column.
2. Mix in a bit of "seat of pants" car feel, for those without a full motion simulator

Every sim tends to pick one or the other. Only pCARS and Raceroom seem to allow you to mix in and out the "seat of pants" elements. I've not seen anything in AC which would allow that, certainly not in the UI.

Yeah, and I got a great FFBTweaker made that does number 1 really well. It was so enjoyable, and the next day they overhaul the system and they don't work any longer. *grumble*
So now I am waiting till those features are in the pCARS GUI/menu.

Personally I don't have a motion simulator, but I just can't play well with the seat of pants effect. I know better what the car does front to back with just "real FFB effects on the steering column".
Maybe it's because what I am used to in my car, so it's easier to relate to and I have a better proprioceptive memory (muscle memory) with that system.

Also the Force Feedback loop present in steering wheel controllers where the FFB motor directly influences the position sensor, that loop causes the Physics to be thrown out of whack.
As every FFB effect executed causes some change in direction, it has direct influence on the weight transfer within the car. Which has direct relations to everything else.
Hence I prefer what comes through the steering column as that's what the car is doing, and thus has no negative effect on the way the car handles (no negative effect on the Physics).

And it's quite possibly the same reason why some people still prefer a FFB-less wheel. At least I heard something like that being mentioned during an ECCI review at ISR in the good old days, that some people still prefer either a G25/27 or DFGT or a FFB-less smooth ECCI for some reason. Which I think the above might be one of.

Iirc there will be ffb update too in the next release, unless im mistaken(?).
So maybe check again after it's out.

Haven't driven AC or anything for that matter in a long time myself. Maybe time to check it out again. :)

There seems to be improvement for sure.
The Alfa Romeo Guillietta drives like my Lancia Delta HPE (which is Alfa 155 based), at least Physics wise. FFB wise it's close, but could improve still.
The rumble when you overturn needs to come in stronger, the road noise needs to be less, and the peak of the slip curve is noticible but the fall-off should be felt a bit better.

The FFB really improved though. I just use 60% gain, 0% filter, 0% Damping, 0% Kerb, 0% Road, 0% Slip.
