PHYSICS:
- Wet asphalt water film depth now influences aerodynamics.
NOTE: you might need to raise your ride height up to 4-5mm to regain the same splitter and diffuser balance and performance on a wet track.
- General UI setup and MFD tyre pressure logic refactoring. No more automagic for ambient pressures.
Whatever the ambient temperature, the slicks are now preheated at 70°C and you can input the pressure you want for that preheated temperature.
Preset setups are already adjusted. Old saved setups will start with very low pressures and you generally need to add 4 to 5 psi extra.
Simply put a tyre pressure you desire, usually 2psi less than the hot pressure you want, and go.
- Minimum tyre pressures now at 20.3psi, as per Pirelli document request. Pay attention as the pressure can get lower than that when the tyres get cold without blankets while waiting at the grid start and can easily deflate on kerbs.
- Fixed MFD pitstops screen tyre pressures.
- All cars updated preset setups with new tyre pressures.
- Improved flat tyres grip, you should now be able to return to pits with a flat tyre.

- Fixed ignition on by default with manual engine start in certain cars.
- Fixed motion data stopping in the middle of the cooldown lap.
- Fixed incorrect AI tyre pressures after a pitstop.
- Honda NSX GT3 fuel consumption tweaks.
- Mclaren 650S GT3 improved TC logic.
- Fixes in Lexus RC F GT3 fast damper preset setup.
- New aggressive Barcelona preset setup for Audi R8 LMS, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Lamborghini Huracán GT3, Bentley Continental GT3 2018, Porsche 991 GT3-R, Ferrari 488 GT3.

MULTIPLAYER & RATINGS:
- Increased the minimum pre-race time to 80s for public MP, decreased to min 5s for private MP.
- Small improvement to the MP formation lap, preventing the ability to outrun the leader with good timing.
- Servers won't spam "late" warnings for event resets.
- Fixed ghostcar (disconnected car) during MP replay.
- RC Rating was rewritten and now works again both in SP and MP.
- RC will start at 0 while the old Elo value is still remembered.
- Numerous SA Rating improvements. Most changes raise the requirements to gain Trust, so global SA ratings are expected to drop a few points.
- Fixed a bug where lifting on straights would generate Trust.
- SA and RC will change at a slower rate for low AI strength (< 90%), while the balance between Trust and OBWP is untouched.
- Fixed FP2 and Q2 not displayed in server list.
- Enabled collision bag for both MP and SP. SA penalties should only be applied to cars that are "root" contacts, no OBWPs for being caught in a mass accident.
- Fixed replay auto save in MP when the weekend changes.
- Server passwords are now stored.
- Increased low-latency (LAN servers) ping accuracy, possibly removing jittering. The effects will also improve regular Multiplayer netcode prediction, but won't be as significant.

- The driver swap info widget is now more compact.
- Numerous fixes to driver swaps situations.
- Team names are now visible in MP.

- Server weather configuration now has more weight on the cloud level, configuring high cloud levels drastically improve the chances of rain (when dynamic weather is used).
- Server weather configuration now uses rain level as a chance for a completely rainy weekend (when dynamic weather is used). Server admins can use both weatherRandomness and rain level to achieve different types of random rain experience.
- Enabled the collection of new driver statistics.
- Possible fix for MFD crash in MP when changing pit strategy after a driver swap.

PHYSICS:
- New 5 collision points tyre model. Tyres now "climb gradually" over kerbs, sausages, bumps both in lateral and longitudinal motion.
Completely eliminates the "rail kerb" effect. Greatly improved behaviour over all kind of kerbs, improved precision, improved bumps absorption.
- Tyre model improvements to better handle high load peak situations and high rolling resistance peaks.
- Tyre model now simulates lowering of profile while the tyre flexes. Ride heights will be lower during turns.
- Tweaks to tyre model rolling resistance model. (Fixed and speed-sensitive RR variations).
- New Traction Control operation. TC now simulates a two-step operation, acting on the engine ignition timing (lowering power) and if that is not enough, cutting ignition all together as before.
This permits the TC to have a smoother operation at the start of a slide, permitting the driver to use the slide to turn the car without extreme vibrations or engine cut.
- New Traction Control logic. TC now takes into account the yaw acceleration, simulating gyroscope sensors as the real cars.
As a result, even if the slide or slip of the tyres is not enough, a sudden yaw acceleration (a fast rotation of the car) will activate the TC to save the car from spinning. It also works intelligently so that it can check if the yaw rotation is under control by the driver, allowing him to use the power at will.
NOTE: please follow our forums to find more information about the tyre model update:
https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/...oducing-the-5-point-tyre-model-for-acc.59307/
- Tweaks on the tyre pressure loss on rough surfaces (kerbs, off road etc).
- Car collider tweaks for various models.
- Tweaks for all circuits asphalt abrasivity and tyre wear influence.
- Tyre wear tweaks
- Fixed tyre core temps not properly saved and loaded.
- Fixed incorrect tyre wear when restarting race after loading a saved game.
- Tweaks to weather temperatures and sun phase.
- Tweaks to water dissipation rates.
- Variability is adjusted so medium values give more medium weather change rates.
- Fixed a setup bug with wet/dry setups on session changes.
- Fixed bugs related to setup naming.
- Fixed a bug with speed limiter status in neutral gear.

MULTIPLAYER & RATINGS:
- Automatic engines will start when the Pit Menu closes, so all engines should be on at the start of a formation lap.
- Rejoining a server while disqualified is now detected in all situations, locking down the car in the pitlane (instead of doing so on the straight after the first lap).
- "Speed up to 50kph" message will not trigger when starting in the pitlane.
- Pit menu selections now are more adaptive, also removing the "Setup" button as spectator.
- Improved race weekend simulation to deliver more gradual grip differences for friday, saturday and sunday.
- Entering an empty server as spectator will now properly start with the pitlane camera.

- Added UI element (next to the tyre app) indicating server health stats, and colorful warnings for overloaded servers. Can be enabled via HUD options.
- Replaced "result" json outputs by a new structure containing more information like track, session data, all laps and all penalties.
- Json outputs now are also written when the session is advanced via /next command, or when the last player leaves and the server resets.
- Fixed the "rain" and "ambient" conditions setting having little to no influence on the dynamic weather.
- Adjusted the weather randomness to be closer to the Singleplayer "Variation". Value range now can be used in a better way, where 1 - 5 should result in plausible weather.
- Activated the entryList setting "defaultGridPosition", allowing to resume a race any time (any Q session will overwrite the positions, but P->R would not).
- Added "dumpEntryList" flag, usable on non-public servers.
It will save all connected cars and drivers to a entrylist.json when a Q session is finished.
- Added admin command "/manual entrylist" to save an entrylist of the currently connected cars and drivers (on a non-public server).
- Fixed total race time having an offset in result jsons.
- Fixed playerIds not filled in the json results when defined by entry list.
- Fixed car category not being configurable in every scenario (using the entry list).
- Collisions during the race wait time won't affect the SA rating.

The wait is finally over! After many months in Early Access, Assetto Corsa Competizione, the Official Blancpain GT Series game, launches today on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/805550/Assetto_Corsa_Competizione/

​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpTkgOB_TEo

Featuring 51 teams, 280 selectable drivers and 14 manufacturers, Assetto Corsa Competizione allows sim racers to experience the real atmosphere of the FIA GT3 homologated championship.

Developed using Unreal Engine 4 to ensure a visual treat, Assetto Corsa Competizione sets a new standard in driving realism and immersion, including the introduction of variable weather conditions and night races to influence challenge and racing strategies.

Virtual drivers will experience a simulation of the Blancpain GT Series by taking the wheel of one of the game’s featured luxury motorcars including Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin, or choose from a number of other prestigious GT racing cars, all replicated with an outstanding level of detail.

“Never take anything for granted, even if you have the Assetto Corsa experience behind you! Assetto Corsa Competizione has been completely rebuilt from scratch, not only to best harness and adapt to the Unreal Engine 4 capabilities, but also to define a new standard in terms of realism and car handling. The opportunity of working with SRO GT Series has allowed us to furtherly extend our know-how and our specialization in responding to players’ needs, as well as those of real drivers. Reaching the finish line was not easy, but it certainly was exciting and satisfying, also thanks to the support of our incredible community, which once again understood and grasped the spirit and value of the Early Access program at its best. But our challenge is yet to be finished: even after the release of version 1.0, we will continue to work on expanding and improving Assetto Corsa Competizione to the best of our abilities” – Marco Massarutto, Co-founder and Brand & Product Manager of Kunos Simulazioni.

Got any questions? Hopefully our FAQ guide has got you covered!

- Switched to UE 4.22.
- CPU optimizations that should bring significant improvement on all tracks.

Physics:
- New ABS logic update for all cars. ABS level can greatly influence your braking distances depending on weather and track conditions.
- Physics-based flatspotting re-enabled and greatly improved. You can badly flatspot your tyres with 2 or 3 high speed spins. The tyres will tend to lock up on the same flatspot, high vibrations to the suspension (and Force Feedback) when the flatspotted tyre is put under load (braking, cornering).
- Fuel load simulation/testing. You can find this new slider under Aero/Rear box. This only works in practice sessions. It is disabled in qualification, hotlaps/hotstint and race sessions.
Once you have created your setup, you can move this slider and load the car with the fuel you want (less or more), and the ride height will change accordingly. The resulting ride height might be higher or lower than the actual setup. When you modify the ride height, the option will be disabled again.
- ECU and throttle map improvements for all cars
- Tyre sets implemented. There is a limited number of slick tyre sets available for race weekends (which can also be set to unlimited.)
When enabled, make sure you keep an eye on tyre sets and their wear in the Setup/Strategy page.
ACC assigns the following number of tyre sets for each different race type:
Sprint race weekend: 5 sets
Endurance 3 hours race weekend: 6 sets
Endurance 6 hours race weekend: 9 sets
Endurance 24 hours race weekend: no limit.
There is also no limit for wet tyre sets.
The feature only works in offline gameplay for now. Online game modes feature unlimited tyre sets.
Individual sets still get wear, so make sure a new tyre set is selected in every session (there is an automatic progression even if the player doesn't change the set manually).
- Kerb grip updates. Kerbs are now VERY slippery when wet.
- Rubbered wet line update. Rubbered wet line can be VERY slippery until cleaned by heavy rain.
- Improved tyre model bumps and kerbs impact.
- Improved rolling resistance influence.
- Improved wet grip simulation and wet rolling resistance influence.
- Improved tyre wear. Fresh tyres give maximum performance for 3-4 laps depending on track, then lose performance fast and stabilize after 6-7 laps. Afterwards they will lose performance gradually but laptimes might remain stable or very little loss, because of losing fuel weight.
- Added wind simulation in variable conditions. Wind will be higher just before and during a weather change (from sunny to wet and vica versa). It will settle to lower values when the weather is stable. Wind values have been taken from the real circuits on the actual race date and are used as a probability base for the in-game wind simulation.
- Updates on all car Balance of Performance for all circuits.
- Fixed an issue that resulted in FFB values passed during the fadeout after pressing Quit in the pause menu - probably also resulted in gamepad vibration remaining in the UI after quitting.

Audio:
- Optimized channels usage.
- Improved opponents positional audio and distance scale.
- Overall volume balance.
- Reworked audio listening-priority.

Includes two seasons, including introductory test sessions and an introduction to Sprint and Endurance racing in a car of your choice.
- Added Save Game functon - initial implementation allows one game session to be saved and loaded. Save feature is limited to Single Player race weekend modes. Multiple save option and save during career/championship sessions to be added later.
Championship and Career progress is saved in between events.

- AI to follow the player car during formation if he starts moving before the 10-second waiting time. This way the player is no longer able to create a gap by starting early from pole.
- Quick Race and Custom Race Weekend car selection and opponent logic completely revised: should be way more user friendly now, and more importantly, there are no entry duplicates in these modes anymore.
Essentially the player now can select every single entry and there is only one version of each, same for the opponents, also ingame the player gets the appropriate body kit, so the field will be mixed.
- Added autosave for highlights
- Gameplay and AI logic additions:
The AI will now go back to change tyres if the weather changes (with a randomized required-rain level in order to not have them all going to the pit together), and when fuel is low.
The same system pops up a message to the player about tyre choice.
- Driver stint logic is added.
- Sprint race no longer has the driver swap option because it's mandatory, it is a forced swap if the player pits in the pit window for the first time.
Endurance race instead always has the swap option open.

- Podium sequence added after race sessions if player finishes in top 3.
- AI now slows down in the cooldown lap.
- Single player green light now starts earlier and not so close on the S/F line.
- Single player double formation tweaks on some tracks (closer to the last curves).
- Penalty system:
1) There is a huge difference between cut estimates of
a) first lap without having had the corner in a clean way yet
b) lap after having a clean reference for this corner
2) Zolder + Paul Ricard now should invalidate the next lap in Hotlap, Superpole, Qualifying if the last corner was cut in order to make the next lap faster.
3) Pit entry/exits won't trigger false positive penalties.
- AI levels tweaked in wet conditions: there is a lot more random factor in their driving. They also "see" puddles now.
- End-of-race sequence reworked: now possible to either drive a full cooldown lap (with the AI) or press ESC after crossing the finish line.
Pressing ESC before the opponents would finish the race lands the player in a screen that shows live leaderboard and unfinished opponents. Once all opponents finish the session, the player is taken to the official summary results page.
- Added improved automatic retire function for cars stopped on the track, both AI and player. Time tolerance depends on position and whether or not the car is facing the wrong way.
- Reworked pitlane spline logic for AI pit entry
- Collisions between cars are off during all the pitentry / pitexit procedure.

Dear ACC racers -

We have noticed some concerns over our forum post regarding a more detailed definition of the feature "matchmaking" and multiplayer.

This topic has been widely shared and discussed over various platforms, resulting in and alluding to an incorrect conclusion that Assetto Corsa Competizione will not feature any matchmaking feature and that the 1.0 version will only come with a simple server list when it comes to "how to join a multiplayer race" inside the title.

Even though ACC will release in a short time, we would like to clarify the situation in order to allow all current or future customers to be clear about this whole topic. We invite you to keep in mind the following:

- Our Dev. Blog forum post aimed to clarify that ACC will not feature any automatic scheduling of multiplayer races, and we would like to underline that nothing of the sort was ever promised during the Early Access programme.

- Assetto Corsa Competizione does feature multiplayer matchmaking. This feature is made possible thanks to a brand new Rating System (that will evolve together with the game after release in order to work even better), and it will help all players to automatically join the best match according to their skills and safety on track. Our system will first sort the servers giving the proper weight to players' preferences and rating indicators and secondly allow them to:

A) Press a Quick Join button that will automatically connect them to the theoretical best match;

B) Select their preferred server from a filtered server list on the ACC multiplayer page.

Anyone expecting an automatic scheduled racing system, featuring a calendar, a booking system and continuously updating leagues misunderstood what was stated by Kunos Simulazioni; on the other side, all reacting to this with the feeling that an automatic matchmaking function would have been missing can hopefully feel better now.

Kunos Simulazioni, as already known, will continue developing ACC even after 1.0 in order to closely look the feedback from the community and make the Competizione even better after its initial full-version launch.
