Interesting analysis, what do you think
This. /\
Stefano, what's next, do you evaluate other engines for new title or trying to focus on oprimizing UE4, is it even possible to make it run as good as AC?
I didn't use it a lot but I think Rfactor 2 doesn't keep track of your best laps...Do you any over racing game in which you can not have access to your laptime records ? ?
As for crushes and bad optimisation, I don't really get what people are complaining about. I play on a gaming laptop with 1060 and i7, connected to the monitor, and do not have any crushes and fps drops. The game always maintains steady 60 fps with 30 people online
Even if you just stick to GT3 and Blancpain there's a long list of incredible potential DLC. I'm hoping you can license the new hypercar class that coming, but there's no shortage of content that could be added.EDIT: Also, it's not the time to take any decision. ACC is a live project and that's what we are going to stick to.
The only people who should have problems running ACC are VR users/triple screen users, the usual suspects of power hungry users. ACC runs ok in VR on my machine. On a single screen I can pretty much max it out.Yes, my system is same and ACC run without any problems on high settings with 24 cars.
I'm getting an 'eye-opening' lesson on sim-racer patience...or lack thereof from this thread.
The sim (ACC) in still in its infancy and being optimized all the time.
Why is there so much complaining at this early stage?
Do you really believe that...or is it just frustration 'talking'?No, sorry. You cannot release a product, call it version 1.0 then tell people the project is in it's infancy and to be patient.
People were generally fine with the game when it was overtly in beta. The problem now is Kunos have "released" the game and gone dark so we don't know if ACC today is the complete vision.
I still don't get it. It makes no difference if they call it beta, version 1, banana boats, or John Joe. We've paid our money, we can play the game exactly the same way no matter what description they put on the current state of the software and Kunos continue to develop the game without asking for more money. I really don't see what the problem is???No, sorry. You cannot release a product, call it version 1.0 then tell people the project is in it's infancy and to be patient.

"Gone dark?"...really?
From version 1.0 to 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4 to now 1.0.5 sounds like "gone dark"?
To me, it sound like on-going development to try to get fixes in place.
Is this your first Kunos Simulazioni product?
I've never seen these guy release any product and used version 1 as the end of development.
Look at the original Namie, Netkar Pro and Assetto Corsa as a reference.
From a game development stand-point, It hasn't really been that long... since they announced ACC.
I'd imagine, going to a whole new gaming engine represents a massive learning curve to see what works and what doesn't.
You don't simply flip a switch on the beta and miraculously everything becomes perfect at version 1.

I think the analysis could be better.
First IMO it is silly to compare the peak players at at lunch with the lowest point on the daily cycle (perhaps its because he's Canadian and their peak time is ACCs low point). I'd suggest a fairer measure is comparing the 4200 peak at launch with the 800 peaks currently.
So having produced a fairer measure of the decline in concurrent users you then have to evaluate whether this decline is "normal" or not. A quick look at other racing titles indicates most newly released games suffer a marked decline in player numbers from launch. In the first month PC2 peak players dropped by 56%, F1 2018 dropped by 67% and Dirt Rally 2 dropped by 68%. However, ACC peak players dropping by 81% of launch peak in the first month does seem worse than you would expect.
Thirdly, I think one of ACCs bad points he missed is performance. If you have a good PC, ACC runs fine, but for those of us with older PCs (mine is 2.5 years old) it doesn't. To the point I can't race against 20 AI in ACC, while I can in other titles with at least 60 fps. If you read the comments below the video, performance comes up regularly so I am not alone.
My other issue with ACC is I don't find most of the cars as much fun to drive as they are in other sims. Clearly this is a far from universal view but equally I don't think I'm the only one.
With this in mind I find the proposed remedies somewhat irrelevant.
As a Chef and avid simracer in cooking term's This game is underdone.It really needed more time Prepping the title before release.Feel's like they just slapped a Steak on the plate with some mirco garnish and sent it out!! some people like it some people don't.Overall Beta "alpha" more a less should of been extended a couple of month's.Do you really believe that...or is it just frustration 'talking'?

What get's me about this game, is the attention to detail of the windshield wiper vibrations from the wind, but you can't save a race. It's so frustrating. The career mode is a huge disappointment.
Not perfect....but certainly not "the sky is falling" unusable...I am still waiting for the VR to perform so that it is usable. The games players are clearly disappearing and a lot of the people early on pointing out the fundamental issues got shouted down by the fans, but they were spot on. Kunos dismissed those issues completely even redefining matchmaking to reduce their workload for 1.0.
I think we are starting to see the audience become wise to games with problems and there are so many games released daily that if you aren't ready at release no one is going to care, the initial impression is what sticks. We just move on. My first experience was awful in VR, I haven't seen a fix in the patch notes yet and pretty soon I'll stop reading them at all.
Are you sure this is ACC, looks like AC to me?Not perfect....but certainly not unusable...
As to the comparison of the number of players between AC and ACC...it is quite simple and doesn't take a lot of logic to explain.
AC has multiple disciplines...open wheel, vintage cars, classic cars, etc.
AC...1.
Not everybody is going to find something in a single car series to like or drive.
