MULTIPLAYER The multiplayer doors (start to) open today!

Tried different servers for some hours. I do a quick list of my experience


First server care were affected by severe warp even with low latency displayed. Quitted
Second server crash just after the loading
Then 3 or 4 servers very smooth without a single problem.
Only my last server after like 1 hour most of the cars started to warp.

I did a really crappy test with a nice random guy. Me driving constant speed and the other behind bumped me lightly multiple times. Result I went insta 20-25 km/h faster. Need more coordinated tests
105 FPS (locked in the game) stable almost all epic (shadows high), temporal AA. 1080p 8700k@4.5 980ti@1380. Basically like driving solo offlane

Chat for the first pass is ok but would be nice if it's persistent. Every time I go to the menu resets.
Same for the players name. Every time I go to the menu the option in menu reset to always off.

For the first multiplayer pass I'm happy

 

No crashes today, looking much better!

Any chance of a slider to filter by rain / night in the server browser? Every server in the list when I looked just now is clear weather, presumably daytime too, there probably aren't many people using non-optimum conditions so with the highly filtered list the people who do want to try different conditions won't be able to find the appropriate servers.

 

Yes it's something we don't talk often : the menus are really cool in ACC, and good music too.
The black menus (especially in VR) are really relaxing.

Great work Kunos, imo it's pretty amazing to have MP so early in the development. And already many options, even for VR, I really appreciate it.
And some sound improvements ? Yesssss !

 

Today was the first time I have been able to get on a server. Everytime before was empty track and weird physics where it seems like the handbrake was stuck on or a Fatal Error. Impossible to drive.

Now in the version 0.33? I have, initially had a Fatal Error but afterwards got on a server. I got some cars with nice low 20 ping, others 1000. terrible warping present with them it seems to build up after a while massive lagging.
I did notice a slightest brush with another car at any speed sends them off, yet is not noticed in FFB.

Plus some people just don't seem to care there is another car there???? see below. The ramming player car stability isn't affected plus the crazy collision physics on display. Oh and my session ended with a Fatal Error again when I was just sitting in the pits.

 

Ok, but it's not actually wise to slow down like that almost on the racing line, especially on wet conditions.
It's like calling for problems, for you and for others.

Move completely off the racing line when slowing down.
Let people pass by safely.

 

Pretty sure that interaction is intended to be like this for now.
Since it's the first MP build they thought that a car may be stuck in the middle of the track for whatever reason. So the "driving" car can still go and just "gently" tells to gtfo to the other
Plus less physics calculations and packets to send to the clients, so easier to be managed

 

Went online for the first time this morning, every thing went well, nothing to report.
Could not join any of the Paul Ricard server I was really interested in as they all show 24/24, so I joined a Misano server. Better lick next time.
I found the driving online to fell exactly like offline. looking forward for some gentleman driver races in the future.
As mention earlier a selector to avoid particular weather condition would be nice, as I have no interest in driving at night and/or in the wet, online, at this time.

 

After all, i almost prefer to have only practice sessions in mp, for now.
I have that feeling of a preseason test, yes it seems like the preseason practices, where teams and drivers returns on track after the winter's stop.

I've had 1hour test and all was quite smooth. By far no warping or flying cars or any other trouble.

I just thought that safety rating was active in every month session, so practice also, but that isn't the case. @Minolin is a temporary choise or this will remain as it is now?

 

Duh, it was after a spin and a test showing a point and major collision issues!

 

I was blind because of my VR, didn't see the Join button and thought that the red text meant I cannot join.

Thank you

 

I'm not using the mirrors at max because of performance issues.

I believe that's what causes the cars behind me to disappear sometimes even though they are there: MP and SP.

Any tips for that?

 

well... even at epic mirrors cars 50 meters behind you are in a parallel universe

 

no SA is not active in MP which is why you get rammers, by maybe it's just as well with all the warping. On the other hand, if punishment was handed out by reducing stats, it could reduce it.

 

Uhh, honestly I haven't see nothing about SA.
If I'm not total drunk, there was any SA on the server

 

idea maybe for the server browser... we get server list top 20-30 servers that match out Weights we chose.. and then under those we get option load others and when you click that we get all the avilable servers that are hosted for ACC?

 

Ingame it's ACC 0.3.3
It's a new hotfix ?

 

I spent 30min on MP, Misano by night with the BMW, that was epic !
No problem, except the mirrors : I also set them to low and cars just behind didn't appear at all.
I take over a car, and it just disappear behind me.
Then it's rather difficult to tell where it is, I try to avoid collision as much as possible but when my only cue is the sound of the car and a little red arrow...

 

We arranged a little "race" on my server this evening.

Roll on the racing proper!
