Assetto Corsa Competizione 'release 6' is here!

UPDATE 4.3.19 @ 21:48:
In case of performance issues first of all we recommend wiping AC2 and ACC folders in AppData/Local and Documents, respectively. Then we even recommend a full reinstall, especially with VR. Then, Mirrors Resolution is extremely heavy, I personally don't recommend going over MID (also try to turn them off). Temporal Upsampling and Volumetric Fog are to be disabled in VR, make sure you do that too.

Welcoming Monza, two wonderful Nissan GT-R GT3 cars and a massive change log... Assetto Corsa Competizione is now at Release 6 status and is available NOW!

Release 6 Update Notes:
  • Added Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 2018 model year.

I don't think 4K is much of a thing in the real world, most people don't have 4K TVs. I'd have my doubts that many people have 4K consoles. I really don't think most companies are aiming for 4K.
It's a lot more of a thing in the real world than people with a wheel and pedals as their primary input devise. Therefore it's understandable that your render target might be 30/60 4k as opposed to 144 1080, it's where a lot of important sales will be.

Anyway, real performance boosts usually come at the end of development, so we'll have to wait until 1.0 to really see where we are. Fingers crossed and all that

In this case I think you'd better use 1080 and 100% resolution instead of 4k.
Well after a reinstall and removing any files ,so a clean slate i do get 60 fps with full grids and Epic settings bar shadows and mirrors but its not a solid lock to 60 like i want .
So i lowered res scale to 85 and it seems locked even with rain and night but it's right on the edge with GPU usage sitting at 99% sometimes but still holding 60 fps .
ACC , she's the new Crysis of Sim racing !!

Problem is that anything lower than 100% is awful.
Textures are messy as hell.
 
..1.41.xxx ??? Ww-what track? Don't tell me it's Monza or I commit suicide right now :confused:.

I have no idea what track it was (it wasn't Monza). Just go to the Special Events block and you'll see the Jag G3. Why commit suicide? Is 1.41 a bad time at Monza? Race a the car the whole time and you will see how much it starts to come in line. It's like magic.

I am assuming I was at Misano?

Also where did that bridge go on the second straight at Monza?!

That totally threw me, first time around. Missed my braking point but also got totally disoriented, forgot where I was and turned right expecting the first Lesmo.
 
VR, Even doesn't get start after this update. where should I report?
If your goal is to play it in VR then you are not really losing anything from the fact that it doesn't work :(
What I fear the most though is that things won't get any better until Unreal Engine itself gets a major overhaul in VR departament, and that's probably a very low priority task for UE developer.
 
Have you tried this? Worked for me for 0.5, haven't tried it with the new update though.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ACCompetizione/comments/a0u956/menu_screens_in_vr_far_away_and_steep_angle/
Yes - I changed "mainMenuLayerType" to 2 and it didn't help.

The second solution isn't applicable because I can't "click either stick down" because I only have the headset. (I never thought the "sticks" would be necessary for a racing sim if you're using wheel and pedals....)

Thanks.
 
ACC for me looks fantastic. Running on triple screen at 1440p with some tweaks at mid, high and epic to get stable frame rate I’m in love with the game and replays.
Thanks for keep that guy in the last monza turn, so I know when start to accelerate again :D
