Assetto Corsa Competizione Beta/Demo

Anyone trying the Demo here is a place to start reporting our findings & such !
I will start
Installed it right befor i had to leave for work ! Got threw the set up , (that i have to go threw again) in time to do a lap or 2 but i could not start the car ... lol i tryed with the little time i had left to find the mapping but had no luck .. lol so now im at work & will give it another go tonight! lol

 

Ok I got it fired up (went back to turn on auto start) not all the menus work yet .. Im testing in 4k rez with everything cranked & I must say the unreal engine seems to power this game with ease .. The thing I noticed most right out of the gate is the seens & backgrounds never ever even hint at any aliasing or LOD issues ..the entire seen is picturesque ..no flicker in the fencing or trees or anything like we see sometimes with AC & Pc2 .. the game looks amazing ..
AC fans will be happy to know that the Car (1 for now the lambo) feels pretty much like all the AC cars feel to me .. this time the road feel is a little better regarding the bumps & all but it has that "floaty" feeling some players talk about with AC , however it has a little more feed back from the front tires like rf2 has .. If you like AC's feel you will like ACC's feel a little more !
check the fence's in the back ground NO shimmer or flicker or anything ,looks the same up close as from far away ..

 

After a few more laps its apparent that the FFB in this version of ACC has a lot of dampening going on , thus the floaty feeling, still good on my G27 .. I took some camber out and it felt a little better ,, Not the story on the ACC forums , I read on the ACC forums that a lot are complaining about this , It seems the ts300 & Fanatec Clubsport v2 Wheel users are the most effected & complaining .. a lot ! lol ..
Its beta & the devs are interacting in the forums regarding the complaints so I expect a lot to change by Dec 2018 !

 

You know this is the sort of thing that proves exactly my thinking about these new Sims when they are released, early or not. I've bought it but won't even bother wasting my time installing and trying it yet.
Why some guys need fresh underwear every-time somebody puts out a publicity release about the latest and greatest upcoming sim, I'll never know. So many books have been written about the Folly of Assumption....

 

Basically we are helping them finish the game .. no secrete there .. Pluss they get a nice pay check in the mean time .. Can you check the numbers on steam how many copy's have been downloaded ? ? What really kills me are the so called sim experts on the AC forums .. explaining to kunos what's wrong with there game ectt.. its the same 15-20 guys that simply live on the forums & constantly tell them how a real car works and AC 1 was just perfect & now they ruined it & make it drift like AC bla bla .. what to do ..lol I hope thay stick to there guns and use the pro drivers input to dial it in .. IMO this ACC actually feels better than AC but I never like AC's spring board psyx anyway .. I can now feel the front tires like I can with rf2 .. its a little dampened on my G27 like I stated above , but it feels nice .. Aristotelis also goes into detail about how the real GT3 cars are sprung very stiff with a lot of dampers to keep the body from moving around to keep the aro grip working properly ectt… those dampers are fine .Its the FFB that drivers are complaining about being to dampened .. IMO it feels pretty good .. but I have a middle of the road less expensive wheel ..lol

 

Lots of reports of wheels not even working Rob!
That's not helping them to finish the game

 

Same thing happened with rf2 ,PC2 & AC when they launched .. its buggy as hell .but its also well explained that its BETA ,with pc2 the first 2 days every time I tried to drive my wheel would not work lol …
& your only seeing the posts of broken stuff so sure it seems like a lot ..my wheel works just fine ..the load/save feature is a little buggy .. Im pretty sure the percentages of users wheels not working is in the single digits compared to the over all players in the beta ..
& this is exactly how it helps them ! They need to see where the glitches are so if my wheel did not work I would be uploading my logs so they can go bug hunting in the right direction..that's how BETA testing/early release works ..

 

A good job we didn't put up a series for it then

 

First Hot fix is OUT ! & it seems everyone's happy with the FFB now ..

 

Yes .. but I/we would have never let that happen anyway lol JVDG was all over it but I knew it would be a 6 month beta at the least ! lol

So is there anyway to set it back to how it was ?? lol <jk> I think I liked the ffb before they made the adjustment .. Now it feels more like AC & the part I don't like about AC ..lol
The original FFB from day 1 I had a lot more feel in the front end .. now its pretty much like all the AC cars always have been for me .. still ok but It was really nice for a day ..hahahah

 

I'm not seeing any changes to FFB or physics in the Hotfix notes Rob??
