ACC Release 0.3 discussion

I'm calm as custard my friend but users do have the right to reply when someone makes a claim without the numbers to back it up. Using words like 'flooded' and then 'deserted' gives everyone the impression that this title is DOA, which according to a quick bit of actual fact checking, is clearly not the case. Numbers may be comparably lower, but it's not the wasteland that the poster makes it out to be.

Erroneous statements do occasionally need to be challenged.

I do agree with your point that a lack of modding contributes to fewer sales though.

 

Tbh. with all the negativity here I'm kind of tempted to just visit the forums to make bug reports and that's it. Which is all the forum is supposed to be for in the first place, player support...

 

Maybe it's just me or related to my PC but after the last release of ACC I noticed a lot of flickering. Especially at night. The brake lights of the opponents for example "flashes" extreme.

Anyone else with this problem and a suggestion to reduce or fix it?

AC1 EA was not about modding, that came later!
It was solely about having a new approach to depict sim racing. The revolutionary feel to whatever the virtual car did, transmitted by the FFB.
I still remember the lively discussion about this being good or bad.
I remember Stephano being on the edge to giving up, because he was accused of “destroying sim racing”.
Yet all the other competitors moved towards that magic AC feel....
This time around there is nothing like that, not even close.
So yeah, you shurely must be right...

 

In what universe has forum activity anything to do with game copy sales or even behind-the-curtain developement?

Why are you constantly writing absolute nonsense just to try to make people believe what you want to believe are your alternative facts?

 

If you cannot answer that borderline stupid question yourself, you are far from hope.

 

You guys are never happy, are you? You want the most realistic simulation but when that simulation doesn't feel the way you want it to feel the game is trash and the devs lost their way. Meh...

 

Nope.
I don’t complain about the “feel”, it is actually very good.
It’s the performance I complain about. Actually it’s unplayable even on a NASA PC...

 

We were referring to the lack of modding in ACC possibly contributing to fewer sales compared to AC.

 

That people have negative opinions should be fine. Whats problematic is trolling, insults and repeating the same statements again and again (by the same person, hard to avoid that different people make the same statements). That made the PCars2 thread and another I don't remember now rather annoying for example - point is not the threads but equal massurements.

Anyway however you feel, there is not much you can do. The vibe will probably improve if the game improves.

 

Okay. Perhaps I misread your comment regarding "revolutionary feel" "magic AC feel" & "This time around there is nothing like that, not even close.", then I'm sorry.

Performance and other remaining issues and polish are hopefully something that are worked on until and continuing after release anyway. ACC isn't alone with that either.

 

I find ACC is currently a good game and its not even released yet !!, It is in development and there will be issues, that should be obvious. It will get a lot better in the coming months. By giving constructive criticism you assist the developers in identifying bugs a lot quicker. It is a Pre-release game after all . For me personally i have not had any real issues apart from the odd crash , and a few performance issues; a lot less issues than I anticipated. so by all means criticise current faults, but, you should understand that its still under construction. So react with Factual and constructive criticism. every thing else is a waste of time.

 

Gladly:
1. “Visual” input lag, as Aris likes to call it. I call it “factual” input lag, because I HAVE to react to the visuals..

2. Performance issues. ~ 30 fps is nothing I call tolerable, I’m used to over 90 fps ( best is over 120), and any experiencend sim racer knows why.
3.this was already known, and addressed by seasoned UE4 users, and still Kunos made this move.

I really hope I will be proven wrong with 1.0
High hopes, I guess.

 

The lags and the stutter I was writing about were because I accidentally switched off full screen mode in ACC or it got switched off after an update. This deactivated any sort of frame syncing and that looks terrible on my PC with any game I play. ACC is very smooth now for me again.

 

How do you expect 100 fps on a modern game when you don't even have a middle class gaming gfx card?

Seriously, you need to get your head straight, dood!

 

Dude, I’m not talking about my potato, I’m talking about guys with state of the art PCs having these issues...
You seem to be a good catch for my ignore list!

 

1. I have no idea what you mean by that. How is "visual" and "factual" related? Aris saying input lag is visual doesn't mean he's saying it doesn't exist or isn't a problem.
2. My suspicion is that the performance is down to your CPU, not GPU or game optimisation. Not saying that the game can't or shouldn't be more optimised, it can and should, but it is how it is. I also recently had to upgrade my CPU after ~seven years and it (together with the move to faster DDR4 RAM) did have a big impact in performance.
3. What was known? UE4 isn't a bad engine at all.

 

No fps problem (about 70/80) / 20 AI with a good pc (gtx 1070 and i7 8700k), at 2k resolution.
For me that's ok.

 

That not because of ACC, is because not everyone have will to lost their time to read or reply to this no sense,I want it all and I want it now talking.

 

AC was about modding from the begin. As ACC is AC2 from the begging, I hope at least, as this team is very talented.
Anyway sound that people are trying to bring some team developer theory of conspiracy, bring on the pink magazines .
