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)!

    Starting today, we've changed the known cycle to the CP server schedule. A quick summary:

    1) Strict cycle

    We now run a simple, reliable cycle of all known tracks baked into one sequence. Their appearance is based on the date of the last official race (usually the 2020 season, or e.g. 2018 for Zolder).

    Starting with the first january of each year, the sequence is:
    Code:
    mount_panorama
laguna_seca
zolder
silverstone
monza
imola
misano
suzuka
nurburgring
hungaroring
zandvoort
barcelona
paul_ricard
kyalami
spa
    So far DLC tracks had a special treatment, but with the growing number of extra tracks this is becoming too complicated.


    2) Reduced random track usage

    Until now, we simply ran random track conditions every 2nd day. While the usage numbers indicate there is no clear preference between fixed and random tracks, the appearance of more and more DLC tracks lead to the problem of running vanilla tracks overproportionally often.
    Additionally, both the 2019 and 2020 BoP are very good and already take care of the #1 reason for the random track approach: we do expect to see a healthy car variety anyways, so it is not necessary to keep the random tracks anymore.

    As it is a nice mode that definitively asks for different skills and has its fans, we will offer one "random track" day per month. Instead of "every 2nd day" it is moving to "every 5th of the month".


    3) Advanced weather settings

    After quite rainy CP server settings for a few weeks, we now introduced a more elaborate structure based on probabilities and server split:

    30%: the weather scenario we've seen during the past weeks. Highly dynamic with a good chance for dry weather, but the possibility to turn into a medium rain sequence that will favor wet tyre compounds.
    Inside those 30%, the splits 1 is able to roll the dice for a cold race weekend with strong gravity to medium rain with 5% chance, and the wet setup is the safe bet.

    70%: more traditional CP server weather: high chance for sunshine and dry; but changes are quite possible. if it rains, it will be more of a quick shower in the light rain bracket.
    Inside here, splits 1+2 are able to hit a 5% chance for a comparably hot race weekend (dry, blue sky) where tyre temperatures will be something you want to manage.


    4) BrGT track integration
    To offer a track sequence that won't quickly change in few months, we already added placeholders for the BrGT DLC tracks into the current CP server schedule, replacing them with random track days. They will turn into the corresponding DLC tracks on release day, without changing the rest of the calendar.


    5) json file
    Given the rules above, it should be possible to create a calendar already. For reference, see the attached cpCalendar.json file that contains December 2020 and the year 2021. Modders and content creators offering CP calendar views can use this file to validate their prediction.

    Normally it's due to your PC time being incorrect, it probably auto updated when you started your PC today.

    This is great, I hated random - join and it's most likely <insert worst tracks here>, at least they're a lot fewer now.

    Will do a few more CP races now for sure.

    Tried to to my first CP race two days ago but the race never started. Everyone left, time did not start, no one could leave the pits. Its frustrating

    Sometimes during work on a server, updates do take some time to work on and get to full running condition.
    Give the devs some slack guys.

    If you experience repeated issues like this just leave a really short and matter of fact description with an appropriate ticket in the support section (don't forget to attach your logs per the instructions - only with logs will you provide useful information).
    These tickets will likely stay unanswered but can hold valuable information for the devs who may be working on the server.

    Don't be frustrated.
    If the CP works, great, if it doesn't just jump on one of the public servers and race there or even better make sure you have your calendar planned out with regular league races and single endurance events and enjoy what ACC is best at.
    If that doesn't work, just set up a proper fully simulated race weekend and race the AI. There is always racing to do in ACC.

    ACC is still a continuously improving product and we keep receiving gifts from the devs, so be nice and treat people online like you would treat real people around you.

    We've had a bugfix that wouldn't work as intended; I'll deploy it in a minute so today's CP servers should be good again

    Did the bugfix include an Australian CP server, or at least some races on the US CP that are suitable for our timezone?

    This is the greatest change you could have done for ACC.
    I am sure many players will appreciate this.
    Finally, dear God, thank you.

    @Minolin do you have participation stats about race lenght and %drivers running? Is there any chance to share some data with us? At least talking about percentage of users who have raced in CP servers order by CET Time would be great to have a look. :)

    I think you could offer a daily race about 90 min lenght, maintaining the classic ones with 45 and 60 mins. :D (I have not seen the numbers but people will love to get the chance to inscribe in that posibility)

    Instead of the 2h race, which was scheduled for today, I see two 1h races, one at 8pm and 10pm each, is this a bug or as designed?
