1. Do you need support for Assetto Corsa Competizione? Please use the proper forum below and ALWAYS zip and attach the WHOLE "Logs" folder in your c:\users\*youruser*\AppData\Local\AC2\Saved. The "AppData" folder is hidden by default, check "Hidden items" in your Windows view properties. If you report a crash, ALWAYS zip and attach the WHOLE "Crashes" folder in the same directory. Do not post "I have the same issue" in an existing thread with a game crash, always open your own thread. Do not PM developers and staff members for personal troubleshooting and support.
  2. As part of our continuous maintenance and improvements to Assetto Corsa Competizione we will be releasing small updates on a regular basis during the esports season which might not go through the usual announcement process detailing the changes until a later version update where these changes will be listed retrospectively.
  3. If ACC doesn't start with an error or the executable is missing, please add your entire Steam directory to the exceptions in your antivirus software, run a Steam integrity check or reinstall the game altogether. Make sure you add the User/Documents/Assetto Corsa Competizione folder to your antivirus/Defender exceptions and exclude it from any file sharing app (GDrive, OneDrive or Dropbox)! The Corsair iCue software is also known to conflict with Input Device initialization, if the game does not start up and you have such devices, please try disabling the iCue software and try again. [file:unknown] [line: 95] secure crt: invalid error is a sign of antivirus interference, while [Pak chunk signing mismatch on chunk] indicates a corrupted installation that requires game file verification.
  4. When reporting an issue with saved games, please always zip and attach your entire User/Documents/Assetto Corsa Competizione/Savegame folder, along with the logs and the crash folder (when reporting related to a crash).

    Now I'm busy locking threads and banning trolls, but if you search the forum there are some good posts that could help you, expecially on lines, braking, slow in - fast out.

    I'm down to 5 secs of RSR top times after about 130 hours of in game time practice lots and then it comes down to set ups. but don't do set ups until you are at the limit of what you can do and run 3 or four laps constantly

    Post a vid with the pedals app showing and we can work from there.

    Remember, most of the people at the top of the leaderboards are very experienced sim racers, have hundreds of thousands of laps under their belts, and a lot of them have been sim racing longer than you've been alive ;) So dont worry too much about your pace right now...it will come with practice...lots of it.

    well i'm not a master but i'm still trying to get 1:44:00 or 1:45:00 at imola with the z4 gt3... i'm driving my hands off on this track over and over again..
    tried different setups by myself and tried to be faster on some corners... sometimes it works, sometimes.. mehh just ****.. everytime just getting laps with 1:46 to 1:47

    learning the track and adjusting setups is the key to victory i guess.. keep practicing! :)

    PS: i dont know if i'm losing speed and time because of that (but i think i do), i'm accelerating and braking with right foot.. no left foot braking here... on sequential cars

    on H-shifter cars left foot is clutch as usual and no toe/heel driving

    practice. I myself went from 10-12 secs behind WR in Nov/Dec, to about 5-7 secs now (I tend to be around 105-108% of WR as seen in RSR). Just keep lapping.

    And then there is the Skip Barber YouTube vid, or the Speed Secret books by Ross Bentley, for the theory.

    The key is to realize what you´re doing wrong (wich obviously isn´t easy :) ). Setup is secondary.

    And lots of drivers right foot brake gt cars in rl, so its not a big issue.

    first of all try all cars and find the ones you like/feels good to you.
    For example i`m on top 50 rsr with the lotus exos 125 on the tracks i like( to be honest you have to have realistic expectations there are people who are AMAZING at sim racing and have extreme setups so dont aim for the WR..yet :D so after a lot of training breaking in top 50 from a few hunderds was a big deal for me) ...but i`m really medicore with gt3 cars so it matters what you want to race, because you need to invest time with a single car to learn it.

    However go practice with a chosen car, at least 1 day then go and download yourself a nice setup practice a lot more and be amazed.

    Also your wheel has only 180 grades of rotation wich can be a massive incovenient but you can live with it i think.

    An 8 second gap to the aliens can be reduced (with lots of training) to a 1 second gap for almost everybody. But that damn last second is raw talent 'Huttu-Gen' that unfortunately not everybody has. :)

    A video of yourself driving a lap on track would help already for giving some advice to you.

    It's a $40 wheel that suction cups to a table top and only has 180 degrees of rotation. Pretty sure it is holding you back.

    Whatever you like.

    It's best when you are new to a sim or sim racing in general to stick to 1 or 2 cars on one track and just practice the hell out of them. You wont get fast switching cars every 10 mins.

    Just seen Mikes post.. Your wheel certainly isn't going to help matters i'm afraid. :(

    This video was posted a lot of times before, but here you go:


    People keep saying practice, practice and more practice. Which is not entirely true. If you don't know or understand what your mistakes are, you're just going to repeat them over and over again and reach a plateau pretty fast which will stop you from improving any further. Get yourself educated, read books, watch videos from professionals and start learning what your mistakes are. I'm doing that myself. It's the only advice I can give you. Get informed!
