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).

    So... People stop to play because other people stop to play? There are other reasons for that. What's the point of this thread though?
    I mean, it's pretty clear that some people will start playing again if updates are good. We've had few hotfixes but 1.1 is what people are waiting for.

    There is a lot of negativity in YouTube, reviews on websites (even Italian!, I read it with the help of a translator). Everything I read was very biased and critical. Besides, this game is not entertaining, like the F1 Codemasters, and is too complicated for a "normal" user. People trust someone else's opinion, but they don't want to check and understand anything. Well, of course it's ACC is too demanding on the PC - I'm sure a lot of people saw the slide-show on their Pentium 2 and return game.


    As you can see, there's no objective reason. And anything above that doesn't apply to the game. You just have to understand that development continues.

    well, as much as we know that steam charts numbers are not all the true, because lot of people play single player and other people play in offline mode(in steam) . It's pretty evident that public multiplayer is going down a little.
    The best thing to do is look for a good community /league and have fun with the game(because the game is awesome!!)

    Maybe it also has to do with big heat and holidays in europe, combined with the waiting for the next patch?

  8. As much as I like the game but I'd have to stop if the multiplayer become less and less numbers. :(
    Might be also a reason :)

    Cant really predict when CP races are happening + also the general inconsistency of quick join lobbys. Career being extremely simple there is not much to play.

    edit: I would like to add that i can only race for like 2h before my eyes start to melt due to how current VR implementation is working. Framerate is not really the issue but the shimmering and generally bad visibility just kills your eyes (CV1). To give some context in other games i can race for 6 hours with out any eye strain.

  10. I think ACC is an amazing title in how it portrays the Blancpain series. The physics and immersion is the best of any racing title IMO. But unless you are a hardcore GT3 fan, there is not enough to come back to. I find myself still playing AC a lot more for the sheer variety of content that is present.

    I went back to play AC and modded the living heck out of it with new liveries, tracks, sfx and shaders. It also looks gorgeous in VR and I wish the same could be said about ACC.

    Sure if numbers are low enough and there is nobody to race with people will avoid the game but there is several reasons for that.

    People seem not to be interested in lobby system from 90's with SA restrictions or CP servers where you can rarely catch P or Q sessions if you are not in the game all the time. They expected more even if Kunos did or did not promise anything. There is many more reasons (heatwave included) why playerbase could be low like that, but like i said. It's subject of next, bigger than hotfixes updates.

    The issue that with these numbers the future is not promising, and I don't think it grows exponentially. Except that you find some way to attract more people to the online. I love ACC but I am restricted to playing sporadically in a private group race. Even in the state you are in, you cannot start a championship in a private league, you still have several bugs to solve, and not to mention the performance in vr ...

    People wanted to be entertained like the F1 Codemasters(by the way, in this game everyone wants adequate physics and realistic graphics, hah). Kunos is not to blame that people always want too much, no?

    Everyone shouts so much about physics... they gave it to us. It turned out that everyone wanted the championship and livery. And skateboards.

    AC user numbers are up 5% over the last 30 days so the weather isn't the key factor. Although its counter-intuitive, most games do fall in concurrent player numbers after launch. Dirt Rally 2 for example fell by 42% in April compared to March.

    I've stopped until the 1.07 '5 point tyre model' release because once they announce something better is imminent it reduces motivation to play the current release. Also it's been hot. I'm sure numbers will pick up again.

    Yep I tried using a 600km extension cord but I had no luck.

    Talking seriously the game is popular mainly in Europe where people are on holiday, I would wait September to judge the current state of the player base. Anyway personally I think I'll join a league once I get back home (hopefully with online driver swaps working flawlessly)

    Have you seen how much exposure iRacing's 24h of Spa got with Max and Lando? It's a shame that ACC couldn't use the event better, imagine the boost it would make to the game if big simracing names were racing a 24h on ACC.
