Assetto Corsa Competizione | Hotfix 1.6.6 Now Available

Paul Jeffrey · Dec 23, 2020

Kunos Simulazioni have deployed a new hotfix build update for Assetto Corsa Competizione, moving the simulation to build status 1.6.6.

Hotfix available now on PC.
Small changes ahead of holiday break.
Minor setup tweaks.

A new hotfix build of the official GT World Challenge Europe racing simulation has been deployed today, and should be available the next time users restart their Assetto Corsa Competizione install.

Not massive in size, the build update does however add a nice collection of tweaks to the simulation, including some changes to the default setups on a the Honda NSX at both the Brands Hatch and Hungaroring cicuits within the simulation.

You can check out the full details of the update below:

Physics:

Adjusted setup wait time to prevent potential saving inaccuracy when making changes in large increments.
Fixed asymmetrical values in Honda NSX GT3 Evo aggressive presets for Brands Hatch and Hungaroring.
Adjusted Mercedes-AMG GT3 2020 fuel consumption for highest power map.
Minor ground collision adjustments.

Original Source; ACC Steam

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available now on PC and console.

Does anyone have issues with the ACC updates? I have to restart Steam at least once during an ACC update as the progress gets stuck at various stages, could be preallocating or the update (download is no issue itself). No other game has any issues, R3E, rF2 etc, all updating just fine.
I moved now ACC to the main drive, so it’s now on SSD, not sure it will solve the problem though...

I always have corrupt files which means I have to download the file again.

I thought they were going to fix "driver stats not loading" issue, but it's still broken lol

Zhabik · Dec 23, 2020

There are quite a few things that annoy me about ACC; lap times either not recorded or recorded incorrectly; having a separate record for each year of the track (Monza is Monza whether it is 2018, 2019 or 2020); not being able to create custom championships where I choose the tracks; not being able to have GT4 and GT3 cars in the same race offline... But, for me, this is forgivable because the game gives me the best driving experience.

Not for me. I can see my driver stats just fine.

Weird. I can see my rating profile (SA, CC, RC etc), but when I press on the stats tab to see my lap times it just keeps spinning and not loading. Other people reported the problem too, I guess not everyone is affected by it. For me, It's been like this for a week now.

I don't get it, why they put out such small tiny "updates", its poiness. Rather join 10 small into a major one.

But as mentioned above, their is still lot of things missing, like record laps, which should only be of 1 year (not seperated into 2018, 2019 and 2020 - completley pointless).
You rather seperate records into sessions (hotlap, practice, qually and race) would be more helpful.

Is everybody or just me that is not able to race in storm weather with the spray of water from cars ahead and be competitive against AI in 90 difficult (As i race in dry) ?

Its not a game problem, its just a question.

GTR2, F1 2020, rFactor 2, Assetto Corsa (SOL), AMS2 i can drive.

The years have different tyres and BOP, so they are in fact different and your times won’t be the same. That’s why you can pick from all the available seasons.

It's the cars and tyres that change, not the tracks. The best times for each car are recorded anyway - I still don't see the need for a list of tracks that is three times longer than the number of tracks I can race on.

But you can race on each of the years of the track?

I believe the tracks /are/ different in some cases — Silverstone was resurfaced, for instance.

As far as I know in-game track grip is different between the years, so they decided to separate these stats. Not that I consider it a good solution.

If you don't mind running extra utility on background, you can try Simsource that can track your stats closer to what you might want.

Still waiting for one small feature in an update:
Ability to turn that flickering helmet off in VR. It can't be that hard!

DrRob · Dec 23, 2020

Despite all the bickering: Had an epic race today on SGP daily races. Neck and neck the whole race on Zandvoort.
ACC has not let me down on fun and immerison so far.

I had a few epic online races this evening - fantastic serious fun.

The immersion is fantastic.

What does any of that even mean.

Still useless under VR

Because the testing cycle of a small update is 2-3 days and you get to enjoy at least one important fix without having to wait months, whereas combining all hotfixes into one update would mean that even otherwise confirmed fixes would need to get delayed until the next major update months down the line. What you're essentially getting with these is base-game fixes that would normally go in the next incremental update.

As it's a near-invisible 200MB update, I don't see how this can be a source of complaint honestly, apart from good old whinging for whinging's sake.
