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.

Is AC playable with a gamepad/controller?

    I tried playing with a controller when I got ETS 2 a few years ago and the experience was horrid. Couldn't and still can't afford to invest in a wheel so I had to stick with keyboard and mouse.

    Is it possible to play AC on a xbox 360 controller without having the car jerk left and right every time I move the analog? If not, then is AC playable with a mouse steering?

    Since you're posting this here in the Competizione subforums I assume you mean ACC, not AC. Not sure why the thread is marked as bug... but anyway. I'd say from experience both AC/ACC are definitely playable with a controller (without any assists and even somewhat competitively) - with some adjustments needed depending on personal preferences, I personally can't drive well with the standard settings - though you'll obviously never get the same feedback, feel and control as you'd get with a good wheel & pedals with Force Feedback. But with enough experience the driving itself isn't an issue. The biggest issue IMHO with using gamepad controllers is that it's just too tiring for your hands to be consistently fast over, say, a whole hour stint/race. Also in ACC there's no button binding for gamepads yet.

    (Btw. I would like to mention graphics performance, as that - latency first and foremost - has quite some impact on your ability to drive well regardless of controlling method used, better lower some settings and keep the frametimes low and any potential larger dips above a certain framerate. Stutter - not having a consistent frametiming - would be another concern.)

  4. To be honest, this licence without a wheel and pedals is quite unplayable. If you want to play a game with controllers of 360, it is better to go for Forza 7 (I have it).

    I tried to play it with the 360 controller, and I can say it is a “meh”. And I tried with a mouse and it felt even was worse.

    To conclude, if you buy AC (or any sim) include the wheel in the budget. Or buy another game.

    I absolutely love AC with a 360 controller. I can't imagine using it with a steering wheel. Perhaps for drifting with pedals. But for normal driving, and racing? 360 Controller all the way.

    The controller provides an acute sense of absolute control and insanely extreme precision (driving is like a zen experience with a 360 pad - you delicately touch the controller and merely think about the direction you want to go. The controller does the rest), as well as the rumble - a great faux-wheel/driving feedback which reflects the engine's RPM using the legacy-code assetto_corsa.ini option. The current 'default' set up is... less than ideal and lacks engine rumble (which doubles nicely as a faux road-feel as you would otherwise sense in an actual car's steering wheel)

    AC is easily playable with a gamepad. (edit: I didn't have to calibrate or set up my xbox 360 controller. It worked just right out of the box.)
    Sometimes - when I want to test something (e.g. a mod) and I am too lazy to set up my wheel - I use a gamepad. And it works fine - even though I prefer the wheel.
     
  8. Ok. 2020! Which is your best xbox one controller settings for the game? some values ive seen does not work with the controller sliders in the game - do you change the values in some other way?

    Playable with xbox controllers? Maybe .

    But you miss the best of what ACC is about by core and essence. And it has no chance to bring these its core qualities to your perception where you would indeed be able to take note of them.

    Can't agree with that.

    Have never wanted to play AC or ACC with anything but a 360 controller. ... After 1700+hrs of play in AC, using the "Legacy" setting in the AC config files... it's been nothing but blissful. Extreme precision, wonderful illusion of road-feel. ... Great game with a 360 controller.
