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).

(Dynamic?) Car Grids in Multiplayer

    One thing I wish could be evolved from how it works in AC:

    With a multiple car grid server admins had to predefine the exact grid, so i.e. a 24 car server with 8 different models, each model used 3 times.
    Now if there are still slots open for new drivers but the model you like is already taken you have to select another car.

    Would it be possible to make the grids dynamic?
    So i.e. not a fixed number of model 'xyz' but just set the allowed cars and max. client size but no limit on specific models.

    As I understand it, the reason behind this was the "join lag", i.e. when resources had to be loaded while driving. In rFactor they solved it with those funny yellow cars.
    Of course I hope this can be solved in a good way.

    Yes, that seems to be the reason for it. (also the reason replay files are so big even with just 1 car on a server since the cars are still there and data is still recorded)
    But as it seems the focus on ACC is much more on Multiplayer, so I do hope they can find a way to make it more flexible.

    Of course join lags would be a problem and a booking mode type of server limits spontaneous joining (unless it's planned to have MP in a scheduled mode like SRS and I think iRacing).

    But if you actually look at the loading screen in AC it takes quite long to load a model the first time, but following car of the same model are loaded much faster, probably only the different textures for the skin need to be loaded and the spot for the car needs to be handled.
    So maybe there is a way to make it happen, maybe by loading all car models and skins while joining so there is no need to load new data while you're already on the server.

    Suppose there's the hope that UE4 is good at streaming in objects.
