Another attempt to make a preview build without all the bugs
UPD: Attached a new preview136 build, not really worthy of its own post, but with a few changes: issue with physics when some modded cars wouldn’t drive is fixed, new driver tags distortion fixed properly this time, GrassFX air disturbance fixed, audio buttons got a volume +/− mode, clouds missing in WeatherFX in some configurations fixed, ksAlphaRef not working properly for shadows fixed, scriptable displays now can load fonts from extension folders and modify shadow casting and transparent flags for scene meshes, rare issue with FSR+HDR resulting in black screen fixed, track displays (with cameras) now can use conditions for most parameters, issue with rain tyres not creating a pattern on some cars fixed.
Here is a new build with more things fixed. I really hope it would be good enough to become a proper stable update, but let’s see. 😅
Also, it’s not just fixes, but quite a few new things as well. Main change is that Lua scripts got a lot of extensions — new APIs, new functions and optimizations, more applications. For example now car scripts can load custom soundbanks, create and control lights and audio events, alter material properties and move meshes (currently would only work for player’s car, but might be useful to add extra interior audio events). Tracks got similar scripting system with dynamic textures (and audio, lights, etc.), should be great for recreating digital displays or, for example, flashing lights with more complex logic (like traffic lights or speed traps with a flash). WeatherFX controllers now can send web requests, and there is already a default controller using OpenWeatherAPI to get real conditions changing during the race.
Another new thing is Lua apps — now it’s possible to use Lua to create new in-game apps using those new IMGUI controls for faster and smoother user experience. There is also a special feature for such apps allowing them to create a full-screen HUDs without having user move windows around, with custom virtual mirrors and more. Also those new Lua apps can also render simple debug shapes in the world, that should be good for creating some helper tools (and there is also an alternative way to create Lua tools as a part of Objects Inspector tools set). And to top things off, Lua apps can have dynamic icons, might be helpful for some notification-like indicators or just to have something like show actual speed on an icon with a speedometer in it. As a bit of a demo, I’ve attached a hello world Lua app.
Photo mode also got improvements, main of which is new brightness-based averaging, really helps with accumulation motion blur and DOF. Also, a few options to control accumulation DOF shape and samples distribution. This shot above had Yebis share set to 0% and yet got some bokeh. And with increased brightness boost and motion shots, it’s very easy to make shots like these:
Here is the full list of changes. Let’s hope that it wouldn’t be as broken as before, so it could be published a proper public update. I feel like it’s really close to that stage at this moment.
Oh, and RainFX got functioning racing lane now, although currently disabled by default (you can turn it on in RainFX settings). At the moment though it’s in pretty development stage, with all coefficients like cars and wheels contribution or fading speed being adjustable. Have to do more testing and find better values and possibly better formulas, taking into account car shape and aerodynamics or something like that. And there is an optional debug mode would paint track surfaces in different colors based on state of racing lane.
As usual, thank you so much for all the support! And just in case, a bit of a FAQ:
How to install a CSP preview?
Simply drag’n’drop it onto CM and agree to install, or, alternatively, extract dwrite.dll and extension folder to AC root folder replacing all the files.
How to get rain physics working offline?
In Content Manager, activate “Allow to use patch car’s data to activate extended physics” option in Settings/Drive and then activate custom physics in Quick Drive section.
How to get rain physics online?
If it’s your server, add “[RAIN_PREVIEW] INTENSITY = 0.5” to server’s extra options in Content Manager. Please note, you don’t need to run server from Content Manager for it to work or even use it to set that option, all those extra options will be encoded in server’s welcome message. You can always transfer them from one welcome message to another.

where is the 1.78
im tryna find it too
?
how can be activated the racing lane in rain fx?
please help
Yep latest preview is blinking red- do not install. Where are the updates?
in the end i manually installed 0.1.76--- rain is there now but the environment is all red and blinking and looks like foggy.... crazy, this is driving me nuts
in what order have you installed sol in relation to Lights patch in the MODS section of content? Just curious because this has happened to me before with a different build. It's actually repeatable when you enable lights patch last on the list with SOL above it.
sound not working, how to fix it
Hy all, loving this preview however I have an issue, I cant see my cars reflection in the water puddles, other reflections i see but the cars reflection does not appear...i have turned off motion blur in AC video settings and SSLR ticked in CSP..please help. Many thanks
only works in single screen, incase you didnt know
Happy new year,Ilja.What I expect this year is that we can have PBR shader for tracks and have sslr fixed.Thank you.
Hi. I installed your newest version of csp (0.1.77-preview1 full. I have no option to activate extended physics in offline race. I'm sure in a former installation there was this option... :-( Do you have a solution for me except a clean installation of ac? Thanks!
its in settings / content manager /Drive/ then tick , Allow to use patch car data to activate extended physics and allow to use custom car data.
Hey. I dont have rain drops on my screen while driving in rain. (I actived it in rain fx section) Any advice?
have you tried a different car as some older cars don't work
Hi, I have a question that I have not seen here, I suppose it is obvious, but I have to ask it. Is it possible, is it an online server, to plan a career for everyone? for example, in an online race the race starts dry and then it can rain or vice versa. it's possible?
curious if you will get any reasonable answer ;)
is there a way to stop the screen filling with smoke in third person? founf it abit overwhelming when drifting
One function I seem to have lost a while back is my intermittent wipers. I have "Speed up wipers mapped to one of my wheel buttons, which used to let me cycle through progressively faster intermittent wiper sweeps. I think this has stopped working since I started using Sol Weather Planner 2.1, regardless of the wiper setting I use in that app. If anyone has any suggestions or solutions, I'd really appreciate them. Thanks!
I have same problem. It has been a long wait from previous patch I sure hope a lot of these broken issues are sorted. Game feels like bit of a mess and he is getting paid a lot of coin from this patreon.
Rain is not working
have you ticked /csp/rainFX
I can sense an update incoming
Hi, I noticed smoke is a bit buggy in replay mode with the 136 preview as it sometimes it just doesn't show just thought I'd let you know.
Fanatastic lads, do the sparks fx work in this version please?
yes
Stumbled onto a very nasty CM bug yesterday. The "UI" folder of tens of mods simply disappeared. Was wondering why they show up like this all of a sudden: https://ibb.co/dWWhpw2
are those ui files modified? have you tried pressing reload on the affected mods?
what is LuaAppHelloWorld.zip ?
example how to make a plugin
Any news? :D
Awesome!!!
you can install auto you just have to unzip it :)

Hello, i have just downloaded this new csp 136, but all of your csp, and old ones, are showing like NOT AVAILABLE TO INSTALL... please can somebody help with that... I have used csp normal till now... ( speaking of CM install )
look to the left, on the same page....it says currently active , and which version running.
I dragged CSP 1,76 to CONTENT MANAGER - it installed - CSP shows 1,65 version installed ?? I do notice RAINFX however . UPDATE: I had to noodle around trying to figure out why the ID wasnt working any longer and then remember how to place the new ID key in the Content Manager - seems easy now ! not before ! no instruction. I now have the latest version 1.76... However I did see an error about the Assetto Corsa version being too old, it went away before I couold check the version... but it was somehting like 1.63 ..?? hmmm
im interested in hosting C.U.P server to distribute car updates among friends. anyone can help me out? i wrote a private message as directed but i guess ilja is busy. there is really zero information how to do it
Thank a lot for your work! A short comment from me regarding RAIN FX: In the open wheel cars (formula 1) spray from puddles and drops looks strange (they are moving in front of car). Looking from TV camera.
I recently transferred all my files into a new PC. While using CM with the latest CSP preview136 installed, I'm getting weird artifacts while scrolling through the menu options. Some of the text disappears and only appears when I scroll back on it once or twice. Same with some of the menu images. Luckily, it has no effect on gameplay. What should I do to get CM running normally?
Bugs list: GamePlay and AI in general 1. If AI cooldown lap activated when in a race the race sometimes don't finish. Dunno if has something to do with multiclass and cars being lapped having to complete all the distance before the game recognizes the end. 2. Related with the bug above, as the race don't finish properly the results end screen doesn't show. 3. Still related with race the clock of the game doesn't follow the real clock time, 1 second takes more than one second. In a multiclass after racing for more than 6 hours (endurance) the clock was even taking 2 seconds in real life to take one in the game, everything get slow but only the in track clock, the weather clock runs at normal speed as they should. It could be machine performance related but it occurs even if the main tread isn't overloaded. 4. Pit stops of the AI never take the same time as the pilot pit stop, even if the cfg native files for the race difficulty has been modified to activate fuel consumption and tire wear it took less than half of the time compared with the player pitstop. 5. Still related with racing endurances, some cars doesn't stop if the tire are gone, and keep crawling in the track releasing sparks because the tires are gone, eventually the pit and then the sparks stop and the pace come back to normal. They should stop for fuel or tires (not and) and stop as required to keep the car running properly. 6. The AI can't return to the race after spinning. Sometimes AI spins and it keep sideways or back to the racing line, they never use reverse gear to come back to the track, they keep stuck going forward as retards crashing in the Armco or walls and then they go back to the pits, and this happens even if they didn't damage the car. When you put in the onboard camera you can see the accelerating and releasing the throttle and go nowhere. 7. The AI can't keep the racing line when overtaking in the corners, it's like the AI can't do the math to know what is the limit of the car and then, suddenly they go off track or even over an opponent, that may or not be the player. 8. When the AI gets some kind of suspension damage the car never gets fixed when they pit and they return to the race crawling at zero speed causing traffic jam and accidents ruining any chance to have a decent race. 9. AI has the most bizarre behavior when touching some car (player or not), it automatically turn the all the wheel in the direction to keep the racing line and keep accelerating, as doing so it's almost certain that even in the minor contacts with AI you will be put off the track. This behavior doesn't relate with real life. In almost all cases humans are going to avoid contact and always will not turn all the wheel in the direction of the other car, they will progressively give some room or at least try to keep his "new line" and come back to the track/racing line not contacting with the other driver, even getting slower if it needs to change the radius of the turn or get a dirty tire. This behavior ruins every kind of overtake with more aggression thus let the game with a stupid gameplay, it will never simulate a race like this! Custom Championship bugs 1. If you change the aggression and try to save it does not update the file of the championship. 2. If you delete the cars and reload from a customized grid after creating and saving the championship it doesn't update the cars/configuration, ie: if you modify the ballast or restrictor it will not update.CM Bugs 1. The apps page where you can select what you want to be activated/inactivated has a bug when saving the profile, it saves properly but never loads the content to the page when you change the profile. CSP Bugs GRAPHICS 1. The adjust for the correction for the rendering for close and far plane is giving problems in almost all tracks and cars. If you adjust to try to correct some kind of blinkering in the track or parts of the car that are missing, it only works for one set of car and track, if you change you must readjust and, thus, despite the fact that it's a nice adjustment, it become pointless and flawed. It would be nice to the game to compensate automatically. RAINFX 1. The size of the drops when a car gets into puddles are completely out of scale, they are severely big. 2. Strange boundaries around the tire in the track make the spray look blurred and with solid contours not relating to real world. 3. Same happens with cars in the mirrors inside the spray, specially at night. 4. At night seems that the light beams are illuminating the rain drops above it boundaries and far passed it's reach in the direction of the car, specially with heavy rain it's so artificial and makes almost impossible to race at night with hard rain. 5. The behavior of the rain in the windscreen at night, also specially with hard rain is also not related to real life, the rain drops, beyond the fact that are extra illuminated, doesn't spread at speed at they should leaving a blurr in the windscreen that's not related with real life, and if you try to use the wipers the thing get even worse, because it cleans the blur but now the rain drops are again extra illuminated, making better to not use the wipers. And here there is a correlation with real world but it's in the wrong manner. In the real world, specially at night at speed with a reasonably clean windscreen it's almost unnecessary to use the wipers, because is the light in the rain drop that blur the vision, being it in the air or on the windscreen, but if there is no backlight how could be light in the raindrops on the windscreen or in the air if they are out of the reach of the light beam? So yes you could let the wipers off, but it's not for the right reason. ... and it's not over but I'm putting the list together and those are the ones that I can remember now.!
Not getting engine smoke for damage/failures on 1.36, anybody else with this problem?
YES
My rainFX doesnt work
Hi, i tried to skip through the comments, but I didnt't find anyone with the same issue. Online Server with Rain works really nice and looks great, but the windscreen whipers don't want to start. I tried Mod cars and Kunos cars wicht work on singleplayer perfectly, but on online servers the whiper just doesn'ts start to work. Any suggestions?
If youre using the same car its weird but if its a mod its probably not included
soo do i just drag and drop these 3 files in cm?
Hi I installed Sol and the CPS preview yet in game when I go into a race the rain effects work with the car with the droplets and everything but the track is unaffected in both wetness and water, and playing with the sliders in the Weatherfx debug doesn't do anything? Please help, thanks!
it takes time for water and puddles to appear.......you can make them appear instantly using the weather FX rain debug option ingame from the sidebar.....just make sure you got it activated in CM....'weather debug app'
Oh, I've screwed up my recent night+rain server setup. Does anyone have a good write up how to do that? I have the welcome message, I have the rain intenstity but I'm confused how to make it locked to night while raining via SOL 2.1. It worked for me recently now I'm back to square after tweaking with settings for other servers :( I'm confused between weather fx and sol settings.
Thank you so much for this it is absolutely amazing!
amazing effect with VR, sol 2.2 and raining! thanks for your hard work
Any news about TreesFX???
you just open the folde and drag and drop into ac folder
New member, how to install preview build to content manager?
i have an idea, can you make the tyres generate some spray instead of throwing water up? its very noticeable on open-wheeled cars
I still cant use the ACC conversion of the Honda NSX GT3 Evo unless I go back to version 1.69 This sucks ass since its a car I use ALOT..... Anyone have any answers?
Have you tried updating car configs, textures and vao? or reinstall the car
Hi, does anyone know how to update their CM to latest version? my version is 0.8.2297 on about but on release notes it says 0.8.2068. I appreciate if anyone can help.
mine say's 2297, both places ....have You , at some point , ticked "update to non tested version" ? , because before 2297, it was 2245 .
Hey guys.. Somebody know how i can use wet tyres in a custom championship?? Whit random meteo work rain but i cant use wet tyres.. Tank's
When watching saved replays of online races, is there any way to get all the Particle FX working for all the cars on the track - not just the one you were driving? For tyre smoke this works, but not for dust or any water effects (water spray, splashes from puddles).
OK, so I've got 1.76 preview 136 installed and rain is working, visually. I *think* I've followed the above instructions properly to get custom wet physics working, but I'm not feeling much or any difference in terms of grip in the wet. Any ideas what I might be missing? Also, any tips on what settings are the most demanding on my GPU? I'm running VR - a Pimax 8k-x on Wide fov, so really massive rendering resolutions. I need to claw a few FPS back - with older version of SOL/CSP I was running 120% steam SS at about 75fps. With the newer updates I'm down to about 55fps at 100% steam SS. I need to claw back to at least 60fps in order to be able to use these later versions of SOL and CSP. This is on a 3080Ti. BTW, with the rain this is freaking beautiful. Such great work. Just drove the green hell at night in a thunderstorm with fireworks! Been using older non-rain versions for quite a while and finally decided to sign-up so I could get the rain version. I just have to figure out why I don't seem to get rain physics and tweak for a few more fps and it will be perfect!
just to check, have you ticked in settings/content manager/drive/ allow to use patch cars data to activate extended physics and on the drive page have you ticked , ues extended physics ( experimental ). and not all cars have rain physics. for fps try clear sky, clouds eat fps.
I still have to reset Sol each time I start a race, otherwise the screen is way too dark. For what I read this is an issue only in VR with the latest patch. Anybody found a workaround for this issue?
I installed Sol 2.2 and the issue gone away.
No matter what i do i cant get the rain fx to appear either inside or outside the car
what have you done so far. have you installed csp 176.136 , then in CM/csp/rain FX and ticked active. then when you are in the car move the mouse to the right and click on the top icon then look for the icon with 3 rain drips then click debug to test if you have rain.
still having the issue where sometimes when i stop driving and am either waiting in the pits before heading out or just pull over on the track, my CPU usage spikes to 100%
I think Ilja need one or two people to help develop. AC community is so big, but he is alone.
My bad... i realzied i had sol 2.1.3 and not 2.2!! just reinstalled and the rpm counter, just delete helloworld in. AC/apps/lua/ , thanks for who answer this!!
Hi. Whoever faced such a problem? When tires burst, red sparks come from the wheels instead of yellow ones? Looks awful. I tried dropping the settings to the standard, reinstalling csp, the result is the same
Try working on ParticlesFx config.
Does anyone know how to force AI to use rain tyres? Even if I select rain tyres, as soon as I toggle AI on, it turns off rain tyres.
Hi! The game is beginning to be wasted! Too many bugs. I believe the gameplay must be the first priority, but it's always a mess. Maybe for those who race 20 minutes it may work, but try to do an endurance, it's a joke. AI is compleely broken, and it's not the mods or the track or the lines, the AI simple can't cope to race properly, its behaviour is a waste. Cars broken keep running on the track, doesn't pit for repairs, if they pit somekind of suspension damage can't be fixed and they return to the race crawling and then the circus begin, another cars brake behind and when they go for the overtake it is at slow speed causing a traffic jam in the middle of the race and there is no place to go because the track is filled with cars. When they stop for fuel they spend only the time to change tires, seems they 're not refueling even if in the proper ini files the property to spend fuel is activated. I definetly will stop supporting and I'm even considering change to an official game as AMS2. It may not be perfect but at least it's possible to race properly offline with AI. Beyond that there is no properly channel to speak with Ilja, only this comment session that we don't know if he reads. All the AWE I had last year when i started modding AC and choose to run a Championship have now becom a bitter disapointment. Check my Twitch channel and watch the last broadcast I made (today) skip to lap 70 grab some popcorn and begin to laught. (twitch.tv/realdealgod) It was a waste of time.
About you changing to AMS2: you do know that Ilja has worked on that, too?
Спасибо за крутой контент, Илья. Thank you for amazing content!
any version after the preview 1 I get this strange effect that the cars don't look natural on the track surface? they seem a little bit higher so I always go back to preview 1?
yes just install the preview you want..
Hi! AnyoneDoes anyone have this? Sparks are red instead of yellow
Anyone that has rain physics working, how much less grip is there? I get the same times on Vallelunga Club with GT3 R 2016 (Slicks - M) in the rain, as the times I get in the wet. Can someone tell me if that seems right?
This is still under development my friend :) It's far from perfect but Ilya will get there :)

Delete old shader patch first
its so sad that with every build is comming some new features and braking other things which was working nicely before , it seems we walking in one spot , i noticed some builds ago some bugs wich broke some things but its still there couple of builds ago , this bugs is like the Wipers graphical offset glitch in VR , the Toogle/Push button behaviour in controls its not working long time ago if i choose the push mode , and i couldnt find any answer how to get wet tyre /extended physics in online ??? , i realy realy apreciate ilja's job , its extremely fantastic what he done , Just to keep their patreons ,should get a bit more ordonated the whole process , like it would be more clear to have a special webpage where bugs reporting could be more ordonated and can see how many people are encountering the same thing and focusing on those which are more often . I like to have new cool stuffs with every new build ,but it so annoying that we have still alot of bugs several builds ago , not even say that with every new build is broking some others , so i realy curious if im just only with my feelings ?
Agree with you 100 percent. I appreciate what he has done and does but all these constant bad bugs for a number of releases is getting bit annoying and just not keeping people in the loop. Considering I've probably paid him more then what I actually paid for the game.
That's the situation, after lights-patch-v0.1.74-preview33-full : https://pasteboard.co/mnvLxXpUHKXg.jpg
It seems like Ilja doesn't read here! I don't want to bother him asking for a solution, I'd only like to know why ... what's happened with lights-patch-v0.1.74-preview33-full when suddenly my navigators stopped working. Till lights-patch-v0.1.74-preview3-full everything was right. What's changed? Why my computer doesn't show maps? Because I see a lot of video with GPS working, of course is my bad ... but why? Do I need new hardware? Thanks.
Маленькое пожелание по интерфейсу CM - чтоб всплывающее окно появлялось вне текущей области указателя. Иначе когда, например, пытаешься удалить авто из списка, наводишь на крестик и всплывает инфо-окно с этой машиной
several times... each time try this version, VR very dark (sol only). only preview 1 works ok
I'm having the same issue with the darkness on VR. Also there's an RPM/Speed counter that I appeared in the lower right corner that I don't know how to turn off :S
on 0.1.76-136 i can not drive the evo on srp, works fine for me on 1.75
Why is the rain spray from cars in front of player dark like smoke? Is there a setting to make it more water spray like in colour?
Quick question, would like to check sol planner function. Anyone knows how to modify time changing speed so that can drive it from day to night in full day weather plan mode? Mine is Sol Planner 1.4.
Love It, Just wondering, Is it possible to bring back The walking and changing cars thing from CSP 1.75
does rain effect grip?
for me all perfect with preview 1 specially in VR. when its ready for VR the last patch??
Приветствую!У меня не работают SoL Planer и тд.Чекбоксы прокликаны,но в гонке нет пунктов в панели боковой.Кто может подсказать в чём проблема? Использую версию 1.76prev136.
Just a question, Why I can not see other player's dust trails, is there anyway that I can fix it or enable it from the content manager? I'm using the latest patch 1.76prev136
Hello to the experts.I have little understanding of the intricacies of amazing AC mods.Tell me how to fix daylight saving time in the sol settings.So that the same month is constantly in a fast race.In the next race, it is constantly reset to the current time, that is, for autumn. Real and ideal conditions are disabled.After entering the race, a flash appears after one second and resets to real time, but this only applies to the month.This does not apply to the time of day. ........I found it myself.There are additional options to the right of the "time" slider.You just need to tick the "specific data".
Hey , the animated wipers tool worked great for me, is there any way to get this wiper animation to play in CM Showroom though ? Thanks
Hi! This preview sometimes causes the game to crash.
Hi does anyone know why my particles in the rain look really glitchy? when I don't use rain its alright and there's no black flickers but using rain its looks really patchy and bad. I hope anyone knows a fix to this or knows what setting to tick to solve it.
Bonjour Ilja, pourrais tu me dire comment activer les changements de pneus . Merci

Hello drivers, please can you tell me how to remove the addon analoque gray speedometer located as default down right corner on the screen? I was trying to find which app is starting it but not successful :( . Thanx upfront
this is AC Essentials
Instead of wanting something I'd like to xpress my deepest gratitude for all included. Kunos did it perfect for not doing it perfect. Leaving that tiny gate open for someone(You, Ilja) to find. And thank you for all effort you've put in. No amount of money would ever compensate that all evolving feeling that there's always something to expect. And something to tinker and learn. Everyone like different things. For me, eye candy is nice but NeckFX is what I like most. Thank you and stay awesome.
Whenever I preview screenshot in replays it goes full flashbang mode. Don't know tried it with multiple ppfilters, but all of them give the same result. Previewing screenshots while driving works fine though, just in replays it's scuffed for me.
Go to settings/csp settings/nice screenshots/ Accumulation motiom blur(for replays) and there turn HDR fix exposure to 0%

I have had a graphical glitch for a while now but I just managed to actually record it, it happens for just 1 or 2 frames, it's like a driver model is being glitched onto the car or something? Any idea what causes that? I might have toggled an option I shouldn't have. I recorded a video of it here: https://youtu.be/b-S45QERfNU
I confirm this bug, already seen also but not succeeded to record it
CM still failed to save AMD Fidelity FX Resolution Sharpness setting and Post-processing antialiasing Quality settings. It reverted back to default settings if you choose very high sharpness on fidelityfx settings and Ultra quality on post-processing antialiasing settings. Having this issue ever since 1.76.
Me too
Sorry, a little off topic.Tell me how to remove dirt from the windshield.In sunny weather, this is very annoying.
in csp under windscreen FX
I'm having an issue when using any CSP version newer than 1.71 - the ends of my windscreen wipers are streched out when they're laying flat, I can only see the issue in one eye of my VR headset.
I"m using a Quest 2. Issue goes away on 1.71 - but anything newer than that has the issue.
Ilja did you make a 'Halloween mode'? My screen is red and very foggy lol
btw the last preview working for me is 92... for some reason cant make 134 and 136 working. getting crash...
Ilja, you freaking star! i hope you are well. can you - or anyone else - tell me how to use extended physics in a custom championship please? thanks in advance... and thanks Ilja for your unbelievable job.
i need help with the preview 136 show'up a rpm thing on my screen and i don't used does thing it drive me crazy and i can't get it out, older patch don't show this rpm thing. Thank you in advance
just delete helloworld in assetto corsa / apps
Hello, Ilja! Is there any way you can bring back the suspension tire graphics from v0.1.74-preview22? It was an extremely helpful tool for centering the visual tire onto the physical one. Thank you!
How do I download all of this so I have good graphics while I am playing?
great update, Im i the only one who have problems with AI become crazy in trackday? :D
Has anyone got issues with ai headlights not working? I've reinstalled everything from scratch. Force AI headlights doesn't work, nor do any other google fixes. Edit: I manually added the force headlights toggle into each weather.ini file since it wasn't being added manually.

Hi, subscribed today and enjoying very much. Does anyone know how to force rain tyres onto ai cars? They spin out in T1 most of the time when in cars that have slicks available. Thanks
IIja, FSR is not working for me anymore, I went back to previous version preview 92 and it doesn't work, anyone else with this problem?
Do you have FXAA enabled in the Assetto Corsa / Video menu?
I am running CSP 0.176.163 on Assetto Corsa Server Manager Premium, Penguin Server. I still can not get rain physics and rain tyres to work or show up at all online. I read the description above, but it is extremely vague to where to find this location to load this code, as my CM nor Penguin server does not have a place in the server options section for me to install this code. Any help would be great.
Yes I have weather, rain, all working but not physics of that rain or rain tyres. You need rain tyres available if you're gonna run the rain physics. I specifically says rain physics by adding this ext/code to the welcome message. But still no physics. I do apprecite your efforts, and will do the old "All else fails, roboot" everything again.
OK guys I hope someone can help with this. For aslong as I can remember I have had this issue. Its with the standard AC motion blur option ( not CSP ) I want to use the extra fx option in AC put it only works if the standard motion blur is turned off . This is the issue when I have CSP installed the motion blur option is reversed so 0 ( off ) is on and 12 ( full ) is off weird huh? Anyway the point is it ruins performance because CSP thinks the option is off when its actually on if that makes sence. Doing my head in can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance Pete
I think I've found a bug. Following the recommendation of having FXAA checked in AC settings and disabled in CSP, in case you don't want to use it, does not seem to actually disable FXAA. I found this by investigating why the image is so blurry and looks like a sack of potatoes in VR. Unchecking FXAA fixed this and it also seems to have fixed exposure issues with pp-filters
solved, thanks bro
Did you manage to solve the dark screen on VR?
happen the same... anyway now with preview 1 happen the same... let me see whats going on now, ive messed now with SOL
VR is bad, too much dark, back to version 1, all ok. just notice with every settings at least with hp reverb g2 that white lines fliker, dont really see how to solve. but general you rock man!
just reinstall sol to make it normal
Estou jogando com uma placa RTX 2060S e tive uma queda considerável de frames quando jogo a 4K, tem alguma confuguração que possa melhorar isso ?
Hi. Just wondering in general, there doesn't seem to be much support for triple screen setups. My frame rate seems to be heaps better running Triples on my 49" widescreen. Switching to Single hence getting the full CSP experience drops my frames significantly. I am running a RTX 2060S. Anyhow just wondering is it normal for a lot of features to not work when running Triples?
Hey, I want to ask if it's a possible feature to make in the future to see tires worn visibility.
it does all ready .
i justmention separated ,because i saw others mention too , but the wipers graphical glich in vr is still there from some later builds , how we do to have extended phisics online ? just the server needed to have the code or also clients and if so how to turn on exra physics on client side in online?
I download but when I try to install its says it cannot install 2 items at same time
this aint it chief
I have some visual issues using VR, the windscreen wipers are bugged out, but the bug itself is only visual through the headset and does not appear on the PC screen. It is not possible to take a photo of it, but it happens on a lot of the cars
i have mentioned before 2-3 builds before , and the wipers offset in one eye in vr still remain , and is so frustrating that many cars has this obstacle in your eyesight
great work, love it. so far no bugs. but is there a change that you can up the maximum size for replays?
Settings-Content Manager-Replays-maximum size
why is the tyre smoke at evening orange??? https://we.tl/t-exZghDE3MN
From what I have seen, it looks like the new smoke is mimicking the colour of the clouds. if the clouds are orange the smoke is too, if the clouds are dark (stormy) the smoke looks black.
For some reason the headlights on the AI cars arent coming on during night races, ive checked the force AI lights box in the weather settings
seems to run well however when i come to a complete stop on track my CPU usage will spike and hold at 100% with different wheather effects active. as soon as i get moving again the CPU usage drops back to normal around 15-30% . edit: running on version 1.76 (136)
I've tried 134 and 136 and the image is very dark i'm using sol and sol extra
Are you using VR? If so - I believe everybody has this issue. Open Sol config, press reset sol and that fixes it - until you load another track and you have to do this again.
When i try to install it CM says "Cant install two things at once" help
That sometimes happens to me too. Easy fix - close CM and install the zip manually, just extract the files to the root folder of AC
Since this update there seems to be a problem with RSS cars the halo disappears and re appears whilst in F3 mode. When in the pits you have to select halo when in the past you had to deselect the halo. I noticed this whilst using the 2021 Interlagos track.
День добрый. На моей системе лучше всего работает preview 1 (gtx 1080) . С FSR и Oculus CV1 ровные 90 fps, а с последующими патчами падает до 50-60 и картинка в VR такое ощущение, будто вибрирует. Будто тебя к вибратору подключили, крайне неприятное ощущение.
english please?
Can we have DLSS?
I like the new built very much. But the game braker is: the exhaust smoke is completly gone :( and the new flames are not working either. Does not matter which car/track combo. Maybe these are only two little visual gimmicks but very important for the immersion.
Glad another release is out but wipers are still broken in VR, AMD FFX is still blurry on Oculus Rift S which I really want to work so can get some fps back to bump up some other settings. It's been broken for a while now.
Performance issues for me as well, running a Quest 2 with the Rift driver. Used to be stable at 120fps but now down to 85-90 on average.
big performance issues. use to hit 80 fps on my rift s. Cant get out of 45 now. im running 5900x 32gb ram and 3070 ftw
Ilja, I just noticed that racing flags no longer work. If I revert to 0.1.75 they work again.
Bonsoir, si tu n installe pas LuaAppHelloWorld.zip dans le dossier d assetto corsa, le tachymetre n apparaitra pas.
noob question.... since last csp update an analogic tachometer appeared on bottom right of my screen, with every car. i cannot disable it, cannot find any setting to toggle it off and it cover the other apps. it seems it is no t an app and it is not listed in the app list. how the hell i can remove it? anybody has it since last csp release? even rolling back to 134 doesnt toggle it off...
same :(
Love the new patch, bummer the smoke hasn't been fixed!? Was so hoping it would be optimized this round. Still looks off, not white and not cloudy, also doesn't last long or have long trails? What's the deal? Is it me? lol
I think there is a tick box in the particle effects settings for long lasting smoke.
Hi x4fab, first thank you for your work. Since 1.75preview, me and a certain amount of users are facing A LOT of random crashes at track loading, and no one on the CSP discord knows where it comes from. Could you take a look and (I hope) find the bug that denies us to play? Keep the good work. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/870324838311546910/901424775287701594/crash_20211023_105710.report
Do you have a link to the CSP discord? I don't use Discord that much and couldn't find a way to search for this :-/
I really enjoy your work. But I am new to Assetto Corsa and Sim Racing in general. Yesterday we had our first race. With Content Manager making a server was just easy. All went good. But I have two questions. Is it possible to Change weather planned on a Online Server and the second question is, is it possible to add traffic on free roam servers or competing AI drivers? Changing weather would be great, anybody some suggestions?
I think the server is able to follow a weatherplan since preview92 but I haven't played around with it yet. AI is not possible. What is possible is recording a replay, like a ghost, and then having a script send the data from that replay (position and rotation of the vehicle) to the server. That would allow for cars driving the same route on a server. Github link to the bot: https://github.com/Silverjayw/Tandemland-Bot-Program
Thank you for the superb work you've done. Rain tyres are back. Tracks look brilliant. Keep up the great work.
hey ilja with the new 136 ive got heavy performance issues.. at the start finish line or in corners the gpu load is like 500% and the frames drop to 30fps... i run a gtx 3070 and with the older builds everything was fine! pls help me fixing this
have a feature request if allowed. To complement the new Live Controller, may be Ilja could implement real time track local time during race? So we will be able to drive on a location following the real local weather and real local time? That would make Ac way more fun.
Hello Ilja and thanks for this updated! Noticed that the latest patch messes up some of the taskbar item icons when selected (they're black, no longer red). https://ibb.co/HFghKtc
Sadly even this update didn't fix my issue with GPS not working! It's really weird, with 1.60 all cars with GPS work, from 1.7 only few (Alfa Romeo Giulia and Ford Mustang). Tried on my wife's PC everithing work fine! Same identical installation, just different hardware and OS (she has Windows 11). Maybe something related on older hardwer of my PC??? Please, help me.
Does this mean we will be able to have mirror overlays in simhub on phones and tablets?
Still no Motion Blur when using TAA in Preview 136... :-(
Since 1.76 I dont see head moving in vr used to work with 1.75...
136 has the same "darkness in VR headset" issue as 134. 92 is the last release that didn't have the issue. So, it started with 134.
The 134 version didn't work with the rain sound, I don't know if it was just me, I'm going to test the 136 yet.
always the highest number of course
im lost here which is to the right one to install the pre 34 or 36?
I love the new scripting features that will give us track creators so much more possibilities!
This whole "thing" called AC together with Peter's Pure Weather just looks f***ing ridiculously fantastic with this update. 136 even again a bit better in performance than 134. No complaints here. Super sharp image. Best rainFX out there (by far). I am already super happy. Funny thing is that in my opinion the tracks keep being "behind". Cars and Weather are almost on the top of the mountain. Now you can see and feel the age of the tracks even more. BIG thanks Ilja!!!!!!
CSP is a blessing when building tracks but one of the big things holding track builders back is still the original engine. There are some quite massive limitations which can be really annoying to work around while building. Of course there are some absolutely masterful artists like the LAC/Pacific Highway or Sachsenring makers but yeah, that takes a lot of time and even more patience ^^
Thanks for all the quick fixes! Unfortunately the screen it still extremely dark when using pp filter in VR, I still have to press 'reset Sol' everytime I load a track. I dm'd you my video config files.
How do you reset SOL? How do you access SOL while in VR? Thanks
Are 2D clouds back?
no rain FX for me on this update
Same I couldn't get it to work in the last one either??
Question, is it possible to use this when I don’t have full CM? Cause I wanted to download em but I can’t seem to know what to do since they use the patch builds n yeah.
You join the patron also got the full CM code ,didn't you？
Amazing work! I just have a problem with the rain physics : only the puddles affect driving and not the wetness of the track I tested it in the rss formula hybrid and got the same lap time (with rain physics) idk if it’s normal or not. Thank you for all this!
Another class update
seems ok even with VR, i only have a issue, how i reduce jagged line specially in VR? its like flicker on th elines
The image gets VERY blurry with this preview. I had the same issues with the last couple of previews. Rolling back to preview1 makes Asset crisp and sharp again :-/ See before/after. https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1bugt18c1kuwig/Unavngivet%20ab.jpg
Have you tried turning off extra effects and turning on motion blur in main assetto corsa that works for me.
Hi Ilja. Again thanks for this great update. I have a problem with the extended physics because I can't deactivate it for one car (Ferrari 488 GT3 ACC conversion). Any suggestions?
Still have the "Can't find 'replayLeaderboards' "pHMD' " error trying to play under Proton :( I sent you a log in a message, could you take a look at it? Much appreciated!
hello , since preview 63 , still have issue in VR, overall image is vibrating , flashing ,like a trouble in the refreshrate that i don't have in preview 1. so for the moment i stick to this one.
Since preview 63 there is no rain effect in any rear view mirrors and no water spray off the tyres in any view. I couldn't find any new option in settings that would affect this and was hoping the later versions would fix it but not the case. Preview 92 and 134 are the same. I tried disabling virtual and real mirrors but no difference. The rear view is like looking at the selected weather but dry as a bone! Do I need to enable new smoke to get the water spray and wet weather in the mirrors?
Using Sol 2.13. Enabling real smoke fixed the water spray and is visible in the mirrors. Only issue now for me is everything looks dry in the mirrors.
how can i turn off the virtual cluster with the new csp?
remove the HelloWorld app from the apps/lua folder
I'm not sure which version started it, but I had this latest version installed and having Post-Processing enabled with any PP filter made the VR display very dark. I confirmed by disabling Post-Processing. I turned Post-Processing back on and reverted to version 1.75 and it was fine. Also tested 1.76 preview 92 (the last preview before this one) and it's fine there too.
Very similar experience my end too. Only play in VR and stuck with 0.1.76-preview1. Everything since reduces performance and looks much softer/blurrier. Regardless thanks for all your hard work Ilja!
First, thank you Ilja for the hard work, one thing i noticed is that after preview 1 with both FSR and TAA enabled the image becomes blurry
I race in VR so I don't have Extra FX enabled, but the description says to disable extra sharpness when enabling FSR, maybe that helps? I did have extremely blurry graphics with FSR in the for former update, went back to preview1 then where everything was ok. With the 134 and 135 patch the blurriness is gone thankfully for me
I sent you several bugs via skype as I usually do but no answer :(
I appear to have lost all my rain tyres. All the cars that had them before no longer have them. Gone back to preview 92 and the rain tyre appear again.
Ilja i dont know how to say but i luv u xD... thx for doin this work
when i update this csp version my screen resolution is bad than 1.0.75 how fix it?
Hi ilaj again thanks for the amazing updates you are working really hard and fast we all appreiciate that , hopefully you get to read this coment - ive notice with the new update when taking screenshots the camera won't go back to focus -i'm not sure why there's a viritual thacometer but i would like to know how to get rid of it ? -the new smoke is still abit off and blur the windows of the car and makes it extremly pixaleted when taking a screenshot however the previous smoke on patch 76 preview 1 is much much much better and more realistic as a sim drifter player its kinda important to help you fix it , the new smoke is just to much its just really off at least for me i tried playing with the settigns and there's nothing to do its to grey the spawn generation point is to exagerate it fly way to high its just a mess but i understand the idea you trying to make hopefully we can get it better or just have older version
Once the hello world installed, i've noticed it works, there is a tachometer on the side. How can we hide it from now?
i have same issue
Where can I find the documentation for Lua? to create apps
with new CSP and last sol alpha 2d clouds is missing
Yes not only 2d clouds but also "method 1" 3d clouds too. Only peter's own cloud system works. Which is something i don't really like.
Almost everything is working nicely, thank you Ilja. I would like to confirm if the rain physic is already working with all the cars or it's only for the 3 cars mentionend in a previous post ? We didn't get any official statement about it few months after. I've enabled the experimental physic, I get the wet lines, the rain tyres but the handling is always like driving in dry track.
Hey Ilja , i dont know why but this build is giving me huge fps hits. i run a 3070 and i7 10700 and the previous build was gibvigng me constant 60 fps on 4k and nearly all settings maxed out on csp. but this new build iam getting around 30 fps at night and between 50-60 at daytime.. with some huge fps drops in the start finish line and in some corners.. could you pls check on this?
Racing line does not seem to work :( Tried with debug mod and ran for a few laps, track was still all green?
no see 135 preview in download
The link is mentioned in one of the comments
Molto bello , continua così llja, mi chiedevo se nella modalità replay quando vedi i pneumatici sul bagnato ,oltre al l’effetto schizzo acqua,se si può inserire anche effetto spruzzo nebbia acqua , non so spiegarmi meglio, vedi un replay nella vita reale sul bagnato attraverso i pneumatici quella nebbia di acqua . Grazie comunque per questo aggiornamento
These 134 and 135 previews have the same bugs as before: - No Motion Blur - Black Windscreen Dirt. Sample with Kunos' Ferrari 458 at Kunos' Laguna Seca: 1.76 Previews 63,91,92,134,135: https://i.imgur.com/c4Jox9m.jpg 1.76 Preview 1: https://i.imgur.com/rJvZleW.png
Looks like a sharpening filter is applied.
after update preview now shit is even worse than yesterday
That's not really helpfull, maybe you could mention the issues you're experiencing?
anyone knows how to get use to the uglt thacometer when im playing
awesome update, but sadly the motion blur still doesn't work for me. downgrading to the regular builds like 1.75 it works fine though. Wish i knew what could be the issue :( Loading the earlier csp builds too like 1.73, the motion blur works just fine with the same settings im using in this new preview build **EDIT** It looks like it does work but not nearly as noticeable as the other csp builds and i have it ranked up to 100%
I got a solution for your motion blur problem, TAA is breaking it
I'm so excited to try this when I get home! 🤞
I have the really dark visual problem(in VR). Also running Natural_mod filter. I also notice the Sol weather doesn't seem to be working. I can go to the Sol Config and change the filter brightness and make it usable but still no weather.
When you open the in-game sol config app there is a 'reset sol' button on the top right. Fixed the dark image for me. I use the Natural_mod filter as it seems to work best in VR. I did turn the rain on for a bit to see that it did indeed work, but I didnt play with it for long
Hello friends. Could you tell me how the animated wipers work and how to remove a tachometer that I get on the screen. Good job IIja Jusupov
Oh also since two releases ago (sorry should have reported it sooner) the windscreen wipers in some cars (e.g. 458 GT2) are doing that mad thing again where they are all bent out of shape in just the right eye view in VR.
I have that exact same issue now with the MX5 cup. A quick fix that I found was to go to the car config.ini and delete the section adding stuff to the wipers
I think I might be having the same problem as Andre above. I did the Hold on Tight challenge (Scottish Highlands at 3:00pm) on previous version, then remembered this update had been released, installed it and then did the challenge again. The lighting was much darker and moodier (very cool looking it has to be said), but the sun was blinding when in my eyes (in VR), literally struggling to make out the track in front of me. Using Natural_Mod or Sol PP filter. On a positive note, I must say since the last release I've been really impressed with the anti-aliasing, clarity and all round general beautifulness that CSP has brought to the game on my Valve Index with a lowly 1070.
When you open the in-game sol config app there is a 'reset sol' button on the topright, is it fixed for you too when you press that? And I noticed too that the graphics look a lot better with the latest csp :)
I have an issue... I use 2D clouds but with this preview, there is no clouds ! Same after reset SOL settings !! Back to preview 92 and the clouds are back ! Any idea ?
Great work! Only one issue that im having which is on certain cars im pressing the gas pedal and the car does not rev up. however when i downgrade CSP to 0.1.75 the cars work fine
How lucky for me, I was just fixing something similar. Could you please try this build? https://files.acstuff.ru/shared/PzPM/lights-patch-v0.1.76-preview135-full.zip
Can anybody explain to my how to make those cool night images with the lights as shown in the description?
In replay, just put a free camera somewhere, press a motion shot button in the next photo mode app (one in the bottom right corner, with circles on it), make sure camera doesn’t follow a nearest car (can be done from the context menu of that button), that should let you make a very long “exposure” shots. But it wouldn’t look like that by default. For that, go to CSP Nice Screenshots settings (you can access them with context menu of CM’s icon in the Windows tray) and set boost to something high. I was using 1000 for those shots. That would give bright areas much bigger weight in final averaging, resulting in those light tracks. Oh, and you would need to enable accumulation motion blur and possibly increase its iterations multiplier a bit. That should work. So in short, use this: https://files.acstuff.ru/shared/Hryu/20211021-002223.png And set brightness boost to 1000. :)
Fantastic work, as always! Any news on the "Tree/TreesFX"?
Thanks! Sadly not yet, sorry, I want to finally finish a stable build and then go into full trees coding for some time without distracting on fixing bugs all over the codebase :)
Anyone else finding the rain is not working with these last two versions? Is there a setting in CM I have to adjust?
I saw that now rain physics is available for online, but how can i enable it if i'm using a server provider and not CM? (i'm using emperor server)
Can you add a welcome message there?
How is that portal thingy working? sounds really neat
Just add something like this to server extra config: [PORTALS] PORTAL_0 = 192.168.1.30:8081 ; server IP and HTTP port, entry list should match PORTAL_0_POS = -40.89, -6.64, -415.83 PORTAL_0_COLOR = 1, 1, 0, 1 ; optional; RGB and transparency You can get coordinates with Objects Inspector, for example. One limitation for now, entry list should match on both servers, drivers would teleport using the same car.
Frame skipping.
I have a small issue - the lightning is way too dark, with SOL set at noon and sunny weather. When I 'reset sol' from the in-game app everything is ok again, but everytime I load a track it's too dark and I have to reset sol again. This is since installing this csp update :-/ Edit with lightning I mean the whole screen is too dark
What PP filter do you use?
Great Work again, CMAA Ultra Settings are working now , but I can not find that Custom Physics thing in Quick Drive to activate the Rain Physics Offline.
Thank you! You’d need to activate this option first: https://files.acstuff.ru/shared/tCKB/20211020-223830.png
Very promising update. Anyone on VR could confirm any performance issue in this version compared to previous build? The previous one gave consistent fps without stuttering. The only issue i got was the digital speedometer keep disappearing, . Won't be able to get to my PC for another week. Thanks in advance, great progress as usual.
VR performance still seems good :)
I have a problem where there is a speedometer stuck on my screen and it isn't an app. is there any solution
Remove that hello world lua app, that’s how it’s written. I’ll update it
excuse me for this somewhat silly question but I wanted to know if "rain physics" change the driving of the vehicle and if it applied to vehicles mod ?
Yes, it would make surface more slippery based on water depth, and also add rain tyres if car would have slicks
so is the server weather plugin working now or not?
Should work with this build, if you mean default CM real conditions. Still working on docs for other plugins https://files.acstuff.ru/shared/NqVl/Content%20Manager.zip
Very pleased that you added the 'old implementation' for FSR, the new one gave me a huge fps hit in VR. But now there are 2 quality settings with FSR, both for resolution multiplier.. What is the difference between these 2 settings?
Oh, you see two of them at once? Could you please switch to untested branch in CM settings? One of them is meant to be for old implementation, it had different quality levels there for some reaso
In the last preview Motion Blur stopped working, hopefully I can test this one later on and see if it finally works
Seems to work here, both ExtraFX one and one from original AC video settings
With the new version always appears "race canceled" when loading a track
Could you please send me documents\AC\logs\log.txt and custom_shaders_patch.log? Maybe changing starter to Official in Settings/Drive would help?
WOW. The list of changes is epic. So much goodness.
Another masterpiece update! <3
Awesome work man, i was wondering, there is anywhere ppl can get full API Docs to work with, i once tried to make an AC APP and found no documentation (i didnt look for CSP nor CM, just base AC docs, but i think you gotta the question)
Thanks! Maybe that would help? https://docs.google.com/document/d/13trBp6K1TjWbToUQs_nfFsB291-zVJzRZCNaTYt4Dzc/pub
The fact that you're even able to create something like a dynamically changing wet racing line is crazy. And AWESOME
buenas. existe alguna aplicacion para añadir coche de seguridad para jugar sin conexion? manejado por la maquina claro.
Brilliant, Ilja. Thanks so much for the update. These are like candy. The improvements are welcome and the racing lane during rain is a fantastic realism adder. Can't wait to see the continued additions! Will test now.
Why has it downgraded to 0,1,71?
Sorry, downgraded in what way?
With every update, you're getting closer and closer to remaking AC, but better. And I have a massive appreciation for that
AC is becoming the de facto standard for racing sims...incredible.
Nice
Glad to see the fill mode in vr output added :) <3
Ayyy
