Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[StoffelWaffle]

I got rid of the stuttering by deleting (renaming) the extension folder and set up CSP newly. Maybe you or racingjoe can try this too.

I'll keep that in mind ! Retrograded to 0.2.4 and no stuttering and gained back the 40 FPS previewnumberwhatver stole from me lol.

 

[Peter Boese]

yes , that is a workaround , but I'd like to have the sunblinding effect (minus the black flicker ofcourse)

I can only say, everything is fixed in the upcoming Pure LCS.

I decided to have a different strategy for Pure LCS than in Pure Gamma.
Like for the sunblinding shader i found a much more efficient code to determine the appearance of the sun in the camera. So the shader does actually have nearly no influence on CPU and GPU. Also i decided that it doesn't produce extra graphics, it just controls postprocessing parameters in the Pure ppfilter scripts.
Also it is now compatible with the VR SPS mode, which give many fps back.

All of Pure's shaders (sunblinding, landscape, groundfog and lightning) are compatible with the VR SPS mode then!

My strategy for Pure LCS is: "use the simplest and the most effective way to produce a nice look".

So it already has less CPU and GPU consumption than Pure Gamma and even less than default wfx.
All the troubles with the shaders in Pure Gamma are fixed in Pure LCS. I will release it early September.

Here you see a comparison of the 3 weather styles and their fps:


Also you see the CPU and GPU usage is smoother in Pure LCS due to a better computing sequence of the different parts.

After many bugfixes and many settings related changes, maybe its a try to reset your CSP settings to defaults.
Could be there is just one little settings which causes this bug, but the setting was wrong in the first place but it didn't cause the bug.
Just do this:
Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later.

hi Peter,

I tried this rename extension folder trick , and the black flickering is gone now!

any improvements always greatly appreciated, but as it is it's already one of the best looking and best optimized racing sims in VR
(hopefully in September it will even surpass AMS2)

So thanks for all your wonderfull efforts in making AC so great for all of us!


EDIT: an additional question, now the sun-blinding thing is OK, but I have the following:
with wind, the grass sways only in 1 eye (left) and in the other eye the grass stays completely still (giving a weird effect in VR as you can imagine).
Any idea?

 

[JK1977]

sorry for commenting old post. but, have you released these cars?

nope because of animated suspensions

Hi Peter. What do you mean by VR SPS mode. Thanks.

By "early september" you mean september 1st right?? 🥸

Thanks. Do you know what it does. Should I have it active as I play in VR. Cheers.

Hi,

One thing that I noticed is that Pure config and planner buttons on the right app bar are only available with pure Gamma. When I Switch to Pure LCS those buttons disappear.

Single Pass Stereo: is it worth it?

This is the first part of a three series posts regarding Single Pass Stereo (SPS). They were written in order to provide more information of how Single Pass Stereo works and raise awareness about i…

Its about how things are rendered in VR. SPS is less taxing on CPU and GPU.
Multi Pass rendering will render the scene to two different images, which are displayed separately for each eye. Single Pass Stereo rendering combines both images into a single double-width render texture, where only the relevant half is displayed to each eye.

 

[Bewoss]

@Peter Boese must know that one

Hi,

I noticed that the Pure Config and Pure Planner buttons on the side app bar only appear with pure Gamma. They don`t appear with Pure LCS.

 

[chas1723]

i think i found it!

View attachment 1379622

If i deactivate this, it works like it should. It seems this overides the dig. flags.
But i did not test it enough to be sure.

look at the value_0...it will be white with those settings

 

[Bewoss]

Hi,
Lately the AI have behaved VERY horribly in races. Every other race random cars on the grid stay still, some start doing burnout and even durind the race the AI have been doing some erratic things. Is that happening with anyone else?What is it?Is there a way to fix?Tks

Im not a PC VR user. I have PSVR1 headset, considering giving it a try with AC on PC though.

Seems your black flicker problem was caused by wrong settings in graphics adjustments - far planes. If there are wrong settings like the wrong settings distributed by the Shutoko team, objects in the distance are rendered wrong, so the sun.

Guys if someone knows how to work with the "bakeryoptix" and can help me (S.M.me)
I'm trying to make vao-patch for the R32 jtcc but the result is too dark

Check the Post-processing section.
Lower the GAMMA value to make it brighter.

Has anybody got the P4/5 COMPETIZIONE 2011 by kunos sound they could send me please, mines disappeared Ive tried the verify integrity thing still no joy.

i tried that too but It did not make any different

@ANYONE that have issues with the digital flag on @racinjoe013 SPA can hit me up via DM? I need you to test something in order to see if my trick fix the issue. Thanks.

Sounds great, thank you for your dedication and all your work in making AC a better Sim.
Beside performance advantages you mentioned in your post, what are the fundamental difference between Pure LCS and Gamma. Also, performance wise are they both more efficient than Sol?

 

[fleskebacon]

Would you recommend using it. Cheers.

I get quite a lot of stereoscopic glitches when using it with my Qeust 2 on an RTX4070, so I can't really recommend it.

But it may work better on other setups and systems.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone had made a mod of the De Tomaso Pantera GT1 from 1994-6.

Lovely car, and well executed.

Slidey boi. Needs care on turn-in. Tweaking diff might help.

@Daniel Graf would have loved to have this version available when he was building the BPR Series.

 

[racinjoe013]

Hopefully a fix for the white lights issue on my Spa_2022 mod. There are separate downloads depending on which version of the track you decided to use. If you are using the standalone version, download the digital_lights_fix_spa_2022_folder.zip file. If you are using the version that installs into the Kunos spa folder, download the digital_lights_fix_spa_folder.zip file.

Whichever file you download, the instructions are the same. Drag the contents folder into the root 'assettocorsa' directory and overwrite when it asks. If you are using Pyyer's Spa extensions, also drag the contents folder in the 'Files_for_Pyyer_extensions' folder into the root 'assettocorsa directory and overwrite when it asks.

Both full mods include these fixes if you ever need to download them again.

Sounds great, thank you for your dedication and all your work in making AC a better Sim.
Beside performance advantages you mentioned in your post, what are the fundamental difference between Pure LCS and Gamma. Also, performance wise are they both more efficient than Sol?

To shortcut this:
Sol has a very weak code, it was my first project in LUA and i did not know better. Now i do.
Sol produces alot of memory leaks in every frame and it uses a naive update method. So it generates extreme microstutter.
Pure Gamma is way ahead of Sol and now Pure LCS is ahead of Pure Gamma.
Both Pure version have fluid frame generation and they don't produce memory leaks and microstutter.

And like the names says Pure Gamma uses the CSP gamma shaders (like old AC) and Pure LCS uses the new LCS shaders.

Also Pure LCS has a completelly different code base. Its a fork of the default wfx, but i changed and optimized many things and integrate all the Pure stuff like skydomes and its shaders, but with a much more optimized code.

So Pure LCS is Pure 2.0

It was the best decision to start from 0. So actually now i have the best feeling ever about stability and code clearance in Pure LCS.

Current Pure dev picture:

EDIT: an additional question, now the sun-blinding thing is OK, but I have the following:
with wind, the grass sways only in 1 eye (left) and in the other eye the grass stays completely still (giving a weird effect in VR as you can imagine).
Any idea?

It's a bug since the latest version of CSP 0.2.4 full/0.2.5 preview1 and is caused by the new wind implemantation for Grass FX. On my Oculus Rift CV1 the grass sways only for the left eye. To fix this you can set the wind speed to 0 km/h, use VR SPS or revert to CSP 0.2.3 full/0.2.4 preview1. I found no setting in Grass FX to deactivate the wind for the grass.

I get quite a lot of stereoscopic glitches when using it with my Qeust 2 on an RTX4070, so I can't really recommend it.

But it may work better on other setups and systems.

Will give it a try. I’m using the Pimax Crystal light with a 4090.
