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.

Generic Can you beat Fangio's world record?

    I have been enjoying the new red pack quite a bit, especially the old Maserati's. For the first couple of days you could find some people to race but not lately.

    I wanted a reason to drive the cars other than for fun, I needed a new goal to race for. So off to YouTube I went for inspiration.

    I watched a great vid about Fangio's world record run on the ring in 1957 to win his 5th world championship! It inspired me, so here it is so you can watch it too.



    I setup a hotlap session with the ambient temperature at 26C and clear skies at 1pm. I drove the 6cylinder Maserati with a stock setup on the PS4 with a t500.

    This was my first ever lap so I wasn't pushing as hard I probably could have, as I wanted make sure I finished the lap. Also, there's lots of room for improvements.

    Enjoy the vid, sorry the last few seconds get cut off. I forgot to record it with sharefactory so this is the in game replay...

    Hopefully, some of you will be inspired to break a world record and post a screenshot of your best times.

    I like your idea, but a direct comparison to Fangio's 1957 lap time isn't possible because (if I'm not mistaken) the old GP circuit combined the north and south sections of the Ring making for a longer lap.

    More or less. There was no chicane back in the day and the modern version lacks the "start und ziel" section

    Fangio, what a Monster! Lots of respect for these old time racers. Very nice video you've shared here.

    I will try this tomorrow night but will be unable to complete a valid lap in the 250F. The Maserati is a beautiful icon but damn is it hard to drive. Love it though. It is on my Top 5 Racing Cars list.

    @Scuderia Paul Did you have a go?

    It's such a fun car, I'm really quite bummed that I have not been able to get an online lobby going since the day the pack came out.

    I finally managed to get a vid of clips done of one of the races from that day;

    I never thought of it! Actually, I have driven the 250F models several times since your suggestion but it never occurred to me to try that combination.

    Since I had not driven any of them yet, last night I went on an old F1 car session. I drove the 12 cylinder version of this car and it was a total handful. I couldn't get it stopped and couldn't stop it from weaving back and forth on the straights. Maybe the 6 cylinder is more tame than it's higher displacement cousin.

    Both of these cars are hard to drive fast it's like trying to gain control of a greased pig on an ice rink.

    Just add a minute to a Nordschleife lap which we have in AC, it will roughly be it.

    I had another go, but this time I was on the PC and I used the Oculus Rift. I tuned the car up, so its no longer stock. I managed to improve my time by quite a bit. This is the new world record 8:48.458

    Thx! with your setup I improved 10 seconds. Now more practicing to beat the 9 minutes. Your time is out of this planet. Don't even try to dream about it ;)

    I guess it should be interesting combo for online multiplayer.

    10 seconds is a very impressive improvement! :)
    Im sure they are better tunes for the maserati, feel free to adjust it to suit you. I don't really know what I'm doing which is why most of it was left stock.


    ALOOG - A League OF Ordinary Gentlemen server had the Maserati 250f 6c at Mugello one day. I loved it! Here's a race from that day...
