Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

hint:
1. do not auto-install updates (disable this 'feature')
2. schedule checking for updates outside your normal active days/hours

Perhaps do some Googling for how to optimize your system.

You can't disable auto updates in 11. You can only pause them for up to a week. As I only use my PC for sim racing, I don't leave it on any other time, so all in all, I find it's just easier to let Microsoft have its way.

EDIT: I know you're a PC-man, so you're probably just shaking your head at me. 😖🤪

It seems there are ways to disable it via the 'Local Group Policy Editor', but I'm not sure I'll bother. I'll just go back to my nice Mac Studio instead and put up with the occasional Windows-induced headaches which only happen when I use my sim setup and have to endure the evil that is Windows. 🥹

 

[Perico Lospa]

Well, perhaps I have exaggerated a bit for making the joke, I don't have too many problems with Windows 10 either... What happens is that this is me in all these computer things...

... good thing there are a lot of geeks on Google willing to help, God bless them!

Has anyone had any issues with CSP lately? If I run it at recommended level, no matter the car or track, I can't launch anything - "Unexpected Error" message pops up.
As soon as I run it at 1.74 - 1.79, everything boots, but about half a lap through (varies depending on track, and also each session its a different spot, but around half a lap through), my whole PC just shuts off....

Tried my best to uninstall and re-install CSP content, but keep getting the same issue...

Try reseating your graphics card. It's possible that as it warms up when you start driving, it's not making proper contact with the motherboard any more and then causing your PC to crash.

Interesting.. I might give that a go, I have to find where it is, have never looked in my PC before ha.

If that's the case, do you think it would do this on other games? Just as a test

I've had the game running 15 lap races (with me not driving - I just sit on the grid and let everyone go past - did this with a 26 car grid) and it didn't reset, but. that's probably because the graphics is only me sitting in one spot, I guess..

If you run some other graphic-intensive games, you may find the same issue occurs. The temperature your GPU rises to is totally dependant on the load it's handling (vs. how good your cooling fans work), as well as the ambient temperature when you're running it. Sim racing pushes the cards pretty hard.

I've had this very issue in summer myself. When the PC is continually going hot, cool, hot, cool, hot, cool... things plugged into the motherboard can move around from thermal expansion and contraction, then eventually you get an intermittent connection which can shut the PC down.

If you're unsure how to reseat the card, you can find some helpful videos on youtube:

Well, it is summer here, so that makes a sense...

 

[Vassalfada]

Well, no luck with reinstalling Audi A4 from f302, for some reason the car just doesn't work for me. But I just found out that the subject in question is working on another version of the same car.View attachment 1221145

Could you please tell me where you found this page with the link, I couldn't find it anywhere (Facebook, etc)? Thanks

You can use the hardware monitor of the "MSI Afterburner" tool, to control the temperature and usage of GPU and CPU. It works for all graphics cards, not only MSI cards. I use it to optimize my graphics settings for AC and control how demanding a track or car mod is on my system.

Hi all,
I try to install the VRC Super Tourers without success, I install as usual but there is still an error in the CM which file should we install the normal or the csp? I do not understand anything !!!!! I have tried everything and nothing works...
VRC can't make times even more complicated?

simple.. just copy the content folder from the cars into the AC root folder.. no CM install.

you need both standart and csp versions for the CSP version of the car to work

yes I installed normal car folder and (csp) car folder but same problem ... "vrc_erc_1999_fortix_csp" folder never appears in game's cars folder, why VRC change the system ???? I drop this ****** mod !!!!!!!!!!!!! I never copy a file directly into my base game so goodbye VRC .... 👋👋👋

 

[kingdomblues]

you may have a problem when you copy
it works for me, you must have the two versions to work like @Diegonapoli10 said
by the way, I don't understand what's the differences between these two versions ?

tu dois avoir un souci quand tu copies, ca marche très bien mais il faut installer les deux versions (elles partagent les kn5)
d'ailleurs je n'ai toujours pas compris qu'elles sont les différences entre les deux versions

bonne journée

Speaking of performance did anyone experienced a performance drop by installing the latest CSP preview 1.80.115? Even though my gpu and cpu are not fully utilized frames don't over 100fps while before I had 120fps solid

 

[raggetheman]

Hello! Anyone know if it will ever be possible with AI as grid-fillers online? would be needed for those of us who like long-distance racing with historic cars i think

VRC = pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliquer ..... pourquoi changer la façon d'installer je ne comprend pas l'intérêt ? de supprimer l'installation via le Content Manager ... bref pas grave je n'utiliserai pas ce mod j'ai bien assez de TC 90's
VRC = why make it simple when you can make it complicated..... why change the way of installing I don't understand the interest? to delete the installation via the Content Manager ... in short no big deal I will not use this mod I have enough TC 90's

 

[SpeedStar2000]

only need 2 more skins/1 more car then we can relive the PS1 days of BTCC.

I think we all know what car it is.

Hi! I'm running a triple monitor setup and I'm getting these distotions when looking around with right mouse button pressed. Is there anything I can do t o correct it?

If you bought it, if should be fair to be able to use it, right ?
It's not suppose to be complicated. Keep in mind that CM does exactly the same thing as you if you drag and drop the files manually into their respective folders, just in it's own way (which can lead sometimes to trouble, like with Sergio Loro's tracks and the AI, AFAIK he still doesn't get why). It's actually "safer" to do it manually. The basic install should always remains "put the content folders in the AC base folder". In case of trouble, delete every changes made and try again manually.
If you need help, don't hesitate to PM (in french, bien sur)

Hi folks,

i want finish one of my speedy project of DTM but im not able to rework in 3d part of the bodies

need some widing body

Anyone who can helps sends me a PM in this forum or FB Claudio Cas.
many thanks

I also had a black screen all the time. My new graphics card is quite heavy. I then propped up the graphics card. Since then no more problems.

not in the mods folder or something. just in the basic AC folder..

its simple as it can get.

Here another one with this kind of problems, some time ago. All solved just uninstalling and installing GPU drivers a couple of times, an RX 6700 XT in my case. Some updates (in any pc program) can be a little buggy... 🤷‍♂️

With the burning desire to try what's new, we don't read enough, then we get pissed off and blame it on someone... and not to the almost always usual real culprit; oneself... 😙

 

[Fumblefap]

If the PC is turning off completely like they've suggested, it could also be the CPU overheating. Or it could be the power supply deciding it no longer wishes to supply power.

I love computers and how totally reliable they always are.

Ha ha, I really like this idea. The Alfa 155 was based on the FIAT Tipo platform in real life, i guess you might of already known this but some may not have.
Also the Alfa Q4, the AWD variant is basically a Lancia Delta with Alfa 155 body on top....
FIAT re wrote the rules on parts bin cars.
The British started it though, there is a funny tale of what the original Land Rover had as rear lights, sure they were taken off an Austin A35 or something. The 1st generation Land Rover defender had door handle's of a Sherpa Van amongst other things.

And obviously everyone knows that the 2nd and 3rd generation VW Beetles are basically Golf's underneath the women's clothing.
Real life car manufacturing is a lot like modding.... just nicking stuff off other stuff including whole chassis and body swaps...

Here's a few more raided parts bin supercars for ya. The Aston Martin Virage had the rear lights from a VW Scirocco, the DBS had mirrors from a Volvo V70. Oh and the Noble M12 had the rear lights from a Mk1 Mondeo, the list goes on lol.

I was shocked when I found out that my furious Abarth 595 was a humble Fiat Panda on steroids. And by the way, the European Ford Ka mk2, also share the same platform...
