Assetto Corsa Comp Up date News

I find it easier to find the change log here than on their own forum.

Seems like a few fixes for 450mb?

 

Sometimes the smaller updates are not announced on the forum. If you notice the version number has increased there is a 'changelog.txt' in your install directory which will list the changes.

 

So new DLCs and a PS4/XBox version announced. British Grand Prix circuits and GT4s! Awesome.

• This April, the free Assetto Corsa Competizione version 1.4 update for PC (Steam) will introduce new features, including the car showroom, new driver / car personalization choices, and additional options for multiplayer servers, as well as lots of improvements of the game features, user interface, and algorithms.
• The “GT4 Pack” paid downloadable content, adding 10-plus new GT4 cars, will be available this summer on PC (Steam), and this fall on consoles.
• The “British Pack” paid downloadable content, offering three new iconic circuits that complete the seven-race calendar of the British GT Championship, will be available this winter for both PC (Steam) and consoles.

 

Bit late to the party...

 

They had to wait to get the sim

 

Changelog v1.3.9
- Multiplayer collision model improvements.

Brings a substantial improvement in MP collisions, which will improve door-to-door racing with more reliable and grounded contact physics.

I really hope this is true, because this has been a problem with AC as well.

 

1.3.10:

GAMEPLAY:
- Free game modes (QR and CRW) now always use the same logic for opponent generation to maximize opponent count in the given season instead of event.

1st of May have come and gone and no 1.4 yet. Good we won't have to contend with a big update just before the 3rd round but still...

 

Hah, probably not. It is Saturday after all. Mid week, Wednesday 6th possibly.

 

New 1.3.13 is out but no changes to the changelog Could be just an update to .1.13.12 with updated liveries etc - seemed to be about the same size.

 

Seems to be a backend update for coming changes according to a facebook post - should have no effect on our race today.
