Delete the .exe file and use the stock AssettoCorsa.exe to start your game.

Solved. has to manually reinstall sol. Extracting zip file to AC did not work properly for some reason.

Will replacing the files work? Ive tried it couple times and my game is still only running at night mode

Hi! I've been having some trouble playing assetto corsa simply because the game & Content Canager won't launch. Once i get to the library steam and click the "Play" it starts loading Launch for a bit and then goes back to the Play.

I have the same problem. For ages I've been looking to run a private server to just have friends join, and then I found the one in ACCM. But it doesn't work because I get that issue of the port forwarding, and I don't know how to fix it because I'm not very good with networking.

Will the server manager in ACCM allow me to run a very simple server that I can have friends join, or does it require further setup / external server manager stuff? Also, Is there some way to run the server -and- drive in it also? I want to host and drive with friends. Please help.

I don't use server manager in CM but I assume it's basically same as general AC server so once you run the server you join and friends join and that's how you all play together.

As for port forwarding it's actually not too hard usually but the exact steps are different from router to router. If you google "port forwarding" and your router name/model # you will almost guaranteed find some guides.
Then you just need to make sure you are forwarding whatever ports CM's server is 'looking' for. Idk how it will tell you what ports it wants but they will be indicated somehow somewhere. Maybe another user here can fill in that blank.

Bit of general advice for home internet users (most of us) regarding choosing ports (if you are asked to choose): Avoid using port 80 or 443 or any port below 1024 for that matter. Even if those are suggested defaults, most home internet providers will block those ports and you will have "mysterious" problems connecting.

My advice is generally select ports above 10,000. Also, make sure you pay attention to if you are asked to forward TCP, UDP or both for a given port number.
Some routers make you forward each separately so you need two entries for each port if you need both.

Hey thanks @Mascot and @BuntaF!!!

With the stuff you posted, I was able to figure out that I needed to open BOTH my download screen AND my Content Manager ... THEN grab the down loaded file (still zipped) from the Down Load page and drag it to the three horizontal lines in the upper right hand corner of Content Manager ... and just let the CM do its work. Cars, Tracks and Apps ... CM does it all!

This was the piece I was missing ... thanks again.

Hopefully my subject line was clear enough that this topic can be found in a search!

Thanks a lot, I was asking the same question but you answered it perfectly

Delete the .exe then go to the AppData\Local and delete the "AcTools Content Manager" folder. That should remove everything related to Content Manager, but keep in mind that any car and track mods you installed using CM will still remain in your game, since they are located in your game folder. Those you will need to delete manually. Hope that helps.

same problem, but not fixed.

 

[Petro1head]

I downloaded CM and also sent a Paypal payment a few months ago so I could go the Pro version.

Like a lot of people recently I nave recd a key

So now because of this I cant install mods unless someone know a way round this?

 

[GP STONER]

Re install cm by deleting in appdata (windows) the folder of cm (back up your settings folder etc.. and try it with a "fresh" install of cm. you need to put the code in it again after deleting cm folder

 

[GP STONER]

C:\users\your name\appdata\local or local roaming\content manager

If you dont recieved a key just email them.. i did and within a few hours i got a email back

 

[Michael Krone]

Im not 100% understanding your issue however.. Like said above me, email them.

As for adding more mods, just put them in your root AC folders. Or are you getting a message saying you cant?
