Monza 66 and Shadow issue

Hi all, I'm really enjoying AC, it's by far the most natural and intensive driving feel I've ever got! I bought the game yesterday and since then I've enjoyed the street cars so much. Today I've started to use the Formula Abarth and the BMW M3 GT2. I use no assists, pro mode but I can't get AutoBlip off, it's really annoying for me! So I've decided to search for some ini file to set properly and I found in Documents folder the "assists.ini" in which there is "AUTO_BLIP=0" so it's disabled but, again, when I lunch the sim I always got this AutoBlip when I downshift. I'm trying the "HardMode" deleted the game, deleted the Assetto corsa folder in documents and re-downloading the game. Let's see what I can get.
Also, it's seem that AA is not well applied in shadows, driving the Lotus 49 at '66 Monza is a nightmare! I can't understand where to go, I've seen some YouTube videos in this days and it seems normally clear visual. I've tried to get AA and FXAA via .ini file together but there were no gain at all.

Ciao!

i suspect some cars have auto blip by default, like the ferrari 458, right?

but the lotus 49 shouldn't auto blip.

 

Aris answered me in another forum, he told that GT2 and Tatuus have Auto blip. i was not talking about Lotus 49 for auto blip but for the Graphic issue i will modify my OP according to Aris answer

 

I took off HDR for now, seems to have fixed the shadow issue in Monza, and looks crisper anyway. There is some sort of setting in one of the .ini files for added blur with HDR (not meaning the blur ingame setting). Maybe only taking off the added HDR blur might help too. Haven´t tested it myself.

 

i will surely give it a try, i rember that i've spotted some things like that, i have blur in game set at 3 and i remember to have seen under HDR a Motion_Blur=4... i need to remember where

 

I've tried to set in the HDR.ini @ SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\system\cfg the voice "BLUR_ITERATIONS=4" (by default at 4) to 0 or even 1-2 but there were no difference.
HDR ON; Motion Blur=3 BLUR_ITERATIONS=4 (click to see bigger img)






HDR ON; Motion Blur=3 BLUR_ITERATIONS=0





This is not a big issue, but with AA4x and FXAA 6x it's kinda strange don't you think?!

Now back on track!

 

Pretty sure you need to change the video.ini file in your MY DOCUMENTS folder... not the steam install folder.

 

I will try ASAP, but i don't recall an HDR.ini file in documents folder... I will look when I came back home

 

So, i've searched for the HDR.ini in "My Documents" and i didn't found it. Anyway, i somehow understand why i could have this issue, it's like a too low "drawing distance" so to speak,, by driving at Imola at 18:00 going on front Straight i can see the sun onto the wall on pit exit even if all the start finish line is all under the shadows and i can clearly see those "drawed" in front of me

Look at pit exit



And this is how i see Monza '66 (scary! unfortunately compression didn't gave justice to what i'm experiencing, uncompressed video is 900 MB and with a 0.5Mbps upload ADSL i can see my sons grow before it end to upload it! )


all of this is not because i want that every single particel in that digital world MUST be perfect, but i'm writing all this because this issue is ruining my immersion experience. I've found AC very immersive with the feel of the car, the great audio of the BMW GT2 jumping on the Imola's Chicane, i'm totally "inside" the sim, but then i went to this zone where the shadow put me back to reality "outside" the sim

I've tried to disable all sort of settings but nothing helped me. Full AA and FXAA or 0 of both did not make any change.

 

Seems like that there is a workaround for the shadow for Nvidia users. https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/possible-to-turn-shadows-off-completely.1492/
Using sparse grid super sampling they are able to get a lot less flickering on shadows

There is something similar for AMD users? I've tried to apply Super Sampling from CCC (yes, I've used acs.exe and not AssettoCorsa.exe xD) but the results was no AA at all.

And again, I've seen some videos where I cannot spot this "short" drawing distante for the shadows
I've managed to get a good compression
