XB1 Poorer graphics after 1.03 patch?

I see. Maybe an option to keep it static could be a good way to settle it, so as to have it in a way similar to how it had been before the patch when, in my opinion, the overall looks was clearer and crispier. Thanks for the input.

 

I can also confirm that the bonnet reflections look a lot worse post-patch. They're really quite pixelated/low res now. I don't drive in that view so not really a big problem for me, and I assume it's a by-product of the general performance increase, but they certainly look less than good now whereas before they looked fine.

 

I fail to see the correlation between, frame rate issue, and physics/handling, and force feedback! Think you're in the wrong thread.

 

You guys have got the best sim, with the best physics and probably the best force feedback on console, and you're complaining about reflections on the bonnet-- which 9 out of 10 times you can't see anyway, if you play in cockpit view.

I'm glad I'm not Kunos, or I would be be tearing my hair out at this point.

 

I think it's more a case of they looked perfectly fine before the patch and now they don't, so either Kunos knows and have decided that's what we will have from now on; or something unforeseen happened in the patch and they didn't know the reflections graphically had altered and are happy it's been pointed out so they can work on it. Only they know this of course, but if it was unintentional and can be rectified then a thread like this might be beneficial, yes?

 

Ok, fair enough.

My guess is that the shadows were compromised for a performance gain elsewhere.

I think it would be beneficial at this point for everyone to be conscious of the fact that this is a sim, and its emphasis is the physics, the accuracy of tracks and cars, and the force feedback. And given the hardware limitations of consoles, it may never be the eye candy some people expect it to be on console. Personally I'm fine with that as long as the original vision of delivering the most accurate simulation remains intact.

 

I totally agree and I add the fact that Kunos is relatively new to the console world, so let's give them sometime for improving overall performance.
We have finally one of the best and most accurate racing sim on console, and Kunos is a team which listens to players' feedback, so let's support them in the right way, pointing politely what should and could be improved, but avoiding ranting and ****storming.

 

Agreed. And to be fair, the OP was perfectly fine and well-mannered IMO. It's the angry rants that are unnecessary as we (should) all know.

 

And so, on the topic of graphics issues, we await, a next update. The game runs better, if you want to play single player career/hotlap, if you set console to offline, through network settings.

 

Assetto Corsa is indeed the game / simulator that has managed to offer the best driving experience I've ever had. Sure these guys have gone a long way in this achievement, which is, by far, the most important feature in a game like this. But such an achievement also means this company has in its team highly capable guys, who would probably be glad to know about minor shortcomings that are still around and could be easy for them to sort out (bearing in mind the limitations of a console, of course), taking all the time they need for that. It's true that one can already be very satisfied with the many amazing things AC already has to offer, but maybe it would also be in the interest of Kunos to repair small imperfections, so as to achieve even greater excellence! So, constructive threads that bring up suggestions for reasonable improvements should be considered, imo, in a positive way. The main intention I had in mind when opening this thread, was to find out if there were people experiencing graphical problems to the extent I've been; based on the answers above, it seems that the reason for the problem could be something on my end. So, to solve it, I've opened a ticket with 505 and I'm waiting for their support. I'd like to thank you all for the inputs and, as to myself, this thread can be closed (I don't know if I can do it myself - anyway, I've found no means to do that)
Thanks again!

 

Screen tearing are gone but after the patch the wheel calibration was wrong and there is a imput lag when you push throttle. I've taken now a ticket because everybody have different expecting to this game. Lot of people use driving assists and drive mainly the gt3 cars and therefore the calibration is okay. The only one who can really decide if there's something on it are the devs.

 

I think they now have to call the Dan Grenwalt hotline and borrow some graphics and optimization coders to get this to the level the title deserves.

 

Kunos is bald already, make of that what you will (no personal offense intended Kunos, just a laugh)

 

Thanks for that. I'm sure he never gets tired of being reminded of the fact that he is bald.

 

Hope he can take a joke better than you can.

 

I don't think anyone who's bald would forget that they were bald, and so needs reminding,...food for thought

 

Ok. I'll chew on that for a while.
