Update 0.8 released - Official thread

Your Corsair 500 supply is a weak link. I added additional comments to my earlier post on this. My CPU isn't the best either so i don't believe that's your problem plus i'am using an old ATI 4890 GPU.

 

0.8.2 - All the lost FPS are back + 10-20 more !! AMAZING ! I have an ATI GPU.

The fps went down from 50 to about 40 after 0.8 and now at 0.8.2 it went up to 60 even 70 + wow.
It went up so much that fort the first time ever i start to notice tearing and i feel like vsync could help but my GPU isn`t powerfull enough to get good fps with vsync on...FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS Hahaha .

 

My PSU is ok for my hw. I only have 1 videocard so its alright. I hope Kunos can make it better as i have around 130-160FPS otherwise. Its just the cars touching eachother it lags for a second. Well see.

 

Great update, thx

 

Had some races with the exige 240.....20 cars on nbr gp.....pwrformance is stabil
Fantastic feeling,ai is again better than in past,only this kind of glue effect when i'm fighting door to door is negativ at the moment.....go ahead kunos! Thx

 

The only criticism I would have is that there's too much contrast in the image. The blacks and whites are blown so they lack detail, if there was a way to adjust contrast in the graphics settings I'd take it down a notch or two. Other than that my arms are weak from driving, the Ai have improved a whole lot and put up incredible battles between the player and themselves. It looks great, no frame rate problems, I've even turned of vsync as my usual vsync problems (even outside of this game) don't seem to be happening, frame rates 100 plus.

 

Yes, after the FPS-drop-shock now with 0.8.2 the performance is much better. Great work Kunos!
I hope Kunos will continue this way of optimizing performance.
Less demanding reflections and replays (especially Monza first chicane and Mugello after Variante Alta) and this sim will be even better, although it's the best on the market already...

 

Just tryed AI race with 10 cars @ nurb and i have 40 FPS..this is how much i had before hotlaping, the optimization in this game it`s through the roof and since it was the first time i could race AI with more than 25 or 30 laggy fps i was so damn excited and i had to try and record a video and man did i succed, and i`ve tryed in 0.5 i think i there was no way i could record any video @1080P and now the recording performance has improved so much...excuse my excitement but i must post the video i`m so happy i can record now lol and to be honest maybe there are some players who dindt try to race the AI yet and Bailey`s video and mine would help + i have a nice "surprise" at the end of it hehe - it`s just 1 lap dont worry ^^. AI was set to 100 % if that matters and it puts up a damn amazing challenge.LOVE IT !
Also i`m so happy to see how much positive feedback this update bought and pretty much zero MP complaints, i think this is the true AC comunitty at it`s best i feel honored to be a part of it .

High contrast it`s due to video recording no ideea why, also excuse my not perfect fps while recording

 

Hope you are able to get it all sorted, best of luck!

 

Just a random post from Aris about 312T from facebook. Still interesting though.

 

Hi to all and congratulations to Kunos for your (our) awesome sim. Sorry for my bad english

On Hotlap and Practice the performance is pefrfect, 70-80fps and up.
With 23 AI cars, before 0.8.0 I got fps drops on race start and 1st corner (smoke, smoke and more smoke). On 0.8.0 I got massive fps drops on AI races with 24 cars on grid at Mugello (not tested another circuit yet). Average framerate downs too (to 70-80fps on 0.7.8 to 30-50fps).
Now with 0.8.2 back to good fps and smooth races without stuttuer.

The new changes are great, especially on AI improvements (no more chaotic starts or overtakes) and lighting. Clouds seem realistic.

 

Translation by google:

The IA has improved but still should make some adjustments, for example, I still think they brake more than your car, so at times you can not avoid a hit from behind. Another thing is that the AI keeps her in line when you put the car on the side, but if you start getting in slowly in her line, the IA still does not seek to avoid the collision, swerving or braking. And lastly, when you wheel and gets the car stuck on the track or returning slowly, sometimes the IA dodges and other collides you.

 

Yesterday evening racing at Imola with the Lotus exos s1 I had two crashes of the game. I noticed that the crash occurred when the opponent after an accident flew into the air. Today i have not tried one more time and then i do not know if the problem persists. Can i attach the logs folder now even though the crash occurred last night? In addition to this, in Imola, always with the Lotus exos s1, when the race starts opponents practically not start (I start from the bottom). Tires smoking, car almost blocked, drivers retire, you overtake almost everyone. Others of you had this problem?

 

I tried it this morning.
the game crashed and I tried to press the esc key and went back to the main menu.
I attach the log folder. Please tell me if i have to open a new discussion for this problem. Thank you.

 

I tried too this morning, i have more or less the same FPS. In Practice i have 50 FPS but with IA (10) cars i think the FPS have been increassed, 25FPS at the start and 35 FPS later. I know that my computer is a bit old (Athlon 64x2 4200+ OC 2,8GHz) and my GPU (GT630 overclocked) is bad but i can play in 1080 with textures in maximum and effects at 4X. If i put everything in minimum i don't experience a high increasse of FPS ingane. I'm going to try now more configurations. Good job KS.

 

thanks for this option in 0.8.2
- Controls configuration: allow sharing of buttons between sequential gears and h-shifter in manual assignment
when it's going to be possible to setup different buttons for paddle shifter and sequential shifter, now that they can be shared is a matter of adding the option, instead of gearup and geardown, gearup paddle, gearup sequential ?

 

I'd say that AI is about 50 % finished before it is true Kunos standard !

 

How many players will multiplayer have? I tried racing with 25 AI and the framerate came tumbling down. I'm guessing it's very CPU and GPU intensive. When my car crashes or cars produce tyre smoke of the start line it dips even further down.

But I'll make note of my settings and monitor performance over the upcoming updates.

 

You can disable smoke, I'm doing that too.

 

Every server will allow as players as pitbox the track has
