Saved sessions

When you save a session, where does it go and what can you do with it?

 

This is amazing. I was sure I'd have an answer by now.

Does this mean nobody saves their sessions or nobody know where they go or how to access them?

 

Or nobody really knows what you mean by saving a session?

You can save replays. Then when you go in replays, they are there to load and watch?

Don't be afraid to click on things and explore, you can't break much.

 

They are saved in documents/assettocorsa/replays

You can't really do anything with them other than play them through Assetto Corsa.

Yes, I'm with Phil. I was waiting for a reply from someone who knew what a session was

 

After doing several laps and exiting you have the option to save "something." I assume it is the lap times, but it could be something else. Anyhow, AC gives you a file name where I presume the stuff is saved.

What I was trying to figure out is where it is saved and what you can do with it. Now I should also ask what is actually being saved. I've tried clicking on various things without any results.

 

What do you exactly mean?
Are we speaking about replay data, the possibility to save between two sessions or to read out data from one session?
Or something else? Or everything?

If you refer to the data which is created when you do a career race or a race in your custom championship, I can help you:

C:\Users\YOURPCNAME\Documents\Assetto Corsa\launcherdata\filestore

There you find ini-files for "career" (career.ini) and "championship" (champs.ini).

To find out how these files work I suggest to do this:

Set up a custom championship.
Watch that ini-file ("champs.ini"), copy it (rename it if you like) and save that copy somewhere else.
Finish the first race of your custom championship.
Watch that ini-file ("champs.ini"), copy it (rename it if you like) and save that copy somewhere else.
Finish the second race of your custom championship.
Watch that ini-file and compare it to the ones you have copied.
Now you can see all the differences and you should be able to change things to your liking.

I hope I could help or - at least - that I was on topic with my answer.

 

Part of the problem is I guess I don't really KNOW what I am referring to.

I am doing hot laps to improve my knowledge of the track. When I am finished there is a lap list and a button to save it. I presumed "it" is the list and I click to save it. At that point I get a file name where whatever is being saved will go.

Right now, I don't know exactly what is being saved, where it is being saved or what I can do with it.

 

It's a replay.

Main menu, Replay button to play them back.

 

Is this button called "save replay"?
If yes, it's the replay of the whole session. You can set up how replays are dealt with in options --> general.
You can change the quality and the duration of the replay and for example whether they're saved automatically or not.
You can find the replay file in the replay theatre (the button looks like a film tape).
The replay contains all the visuals of every car which took part in that session and your lap times.
So, if you like you can jump into the cockpit of someone else's car.
(It's even possible to save online sessions and jump into the other cars.)

Location of the replay folder:
C:\Users\YOURPCNAME\Documents\Assetto Corsa\replay

 

Like the others have said, sounds like you're talking about replays. The thing I'd add is that after you click the "save" option (or however it's named), you get taken (or at least I do) to a list of temporary replays which are on disk, and they aren't actually truly "saved" until you select them from this list and hit the "save" option in that new section. Hard to explain from memory and without screenshots but hopefully that helps...

 

Are you talking about the button that says save replay? You can save it at the 2 screens in the 2 images below and view them from the replay button in the bottom image.

 

It is replay. I click save and then I go to he film button and it says nothing is there. I tried both trying to save the whole session and one lap. Maybe this doesn't work for hot lapping or I am doing something wrong.

I didn't do anything specific in Options-> General so I will look there next. Right now I'm just interested in what it is supposed to do and how to utilize it.

This isn't terribly critical since it does save my best lap times so I can see if I'm improving. I have found I do a couple of seconds better than when I am actually on track. It finally dawned on me that I can't get hurt in AC. In a way it helps to tell me how far I can go without killing myself!

Again, AC really needs a manual. Trial-and-error isn't doing it for me.

 

In settings, go to general and make sure you have these sliders on.

 

Thanks. I never consciously set any of those so they are still at default, whatever that is!

 

Eureka. It works. I think the problem may have been the default maximum file size was 26Mb and I was trying to save 15-20 lap sessions. They may have been too large.

It seems to be a two step process. First is a list of saved sessions from which I had to select the sessions that would be used for replay. What's interesting is once I increased the file size there sessions appeared. Consequently, I'm not sure I have this solved but at least I know what is being saved, where and what I can do with it.
