Game progress?

Yeah, too bad the scratchy audio & stutters in MP is keeping me offline for now, I've had good online experiences in AC and I'd like to race online more but it's just not working for me at the moment. I know my CPU is really borderline for sys reqs, but I hope they can improve performance back to where it was in previous versions.

 

For a public server I just like to mix uo cars that are close, people can self handicap themselves as obviously there is a difference in abilities. I dont see any point in having different cars up if they all end up doing the same lap times.

If I put in a bunch of street cars I will jump in the slowest one so its more of a challenge against average drivers. If there are aliens that come in and jump in the fastest cars they will obviously win easy. But if they want to show they actually are quick then they should challenge themselves in the slowest car and see if they can still win.

Ballast is a great thing but more for league racing, I'd never use it in a public server. But load up a public server with all equal cars and a few aliens come in they tend to scare off the others who see they have no chance. Get a mix of cars and people can all have a bit of fun if they self handicap themselves. I have more fun not winning in a close battle then I do winning by a huge margin.

Admin controls to kick idiots and cheats and pickuo server racing can be fun for all.

 

Dear Santa Kunos, could I please have a new bike, a jumper some socks and an updated Assetto Corsa, please. I have been a very good boy all year and have helped the elderly cross roads and been kind to my fellow (wo)man. Give my love to the Reindeer and the elves.

 

I know you guys are busy, but what about a press release which lets us know what is going on??

 

hopefully no news is good news...

 

No news? There is a dev post on page 10 of this very thread stating that they are working 14+ hours a day.

 

no official press news i mean.
everybody knows they are working hard.

 

If you read another thread, they said "Hold on, the next update is near" so...


edit: i mean tze audio crackling thread in the audio bugs section. Was postet yesterday...

 

so, some are happy with this and think it's enough, some others just would like two official words and an hypotetical date.
said this, all of us know they are working very hard and it will be a rocking release for sure.

 

And now that i have just read stefanos tweet, i am confident that assetto gets its update still this year.again, all we can do is sit and wait

 

its more to balance the cars than the players, my server is kind of half way between public and league. its open to all but there is a server steam group and its mostly regulars. eventually i will probably organise weekly events. a good example of when i would use ballast, the 240r exige and v6 cup can compete on some faster tracks, if i could add a little ballast to the 240r it would likely be possible to run a weekly v6 cup vs 240r event (the 240 would probably still dominate shorter tracks but the v6 would have more of a chance.) i dont think they will ever be identical, they will still have there individual perks even with ballast.

tyres is the big 1 for me though. i keep trying to voice more reasons why tyre limitation is necassary
i imagine we will get it. but im still a bit worried as it isnt confirmed. ill admitt im a little fussy but there are loads of cars im not using yet because i cant limit the tyres. i dont mind using the s1 e92 for example on semis but the stock car i want to race on street tyres. likewise the classic cars,i really dont want to race the f40 on semi slicks and cars like the cobra i would like to race on the vintage tyre option. i would definitely like tyre limitation for car balancing but for many other reasons also.

im surprised there isnt more noise being made by the community about tyre limitation tbh, i know some others are asking for this but it does seem to be a small minority. even the guys that like to race AI, if you want to have a race against them and use anything other than the fastest tyre you cant as you cannot select the AI's tyres.

 

Id like tyre limitations but Id also like to take it the further step, not only limit compounds but also limit total amount of tyres per session. Then also allow tyres to be re used so you may need to qualy and race on one set or even force you to use 2 different compounds during a race. But basic limiting of tyres allowed per car would be good too.

 

Any news about the next update patch?

 

No.

And I'd bet there won't be one until 1.0 is ready, doesn't make sense to constantly waste time patching a release candidate. Far better to focus dev efforts on finalising the 1.0 release.

 

Start steam and you know.. f it updates AC.. then there is news.. if it doesnt.. then there is no news.. its actualy quite simple when you think of it...

 

From the Twitter:
Stefano Casillo ‏@KunosStefano 28m28 minutes ago
oh.. right on the finish line: admin tools added to AC Server.

 

Is that the real account of Stefano? If so ...just lost all respect for the guy.

 

Yes, it is, and why do you lose respect for him?

 

This should be good....

 

Aaah, I see the tweet.

Ah well, it's pretty well known by this point that he's quite anti-religious (both Christianity and Muslim), but an opinion is an opinion. As a heavily religious person, I really don't care what he has to say.
