My Assetto Corsa just arrived! 4 days early! Is that the disc version? I used to get mine early from Shopto.net. Wonder if you can get online to test the multiplayer yet? Be good if you can so you can let us know if the lobbies are able to be pw protected. I'll hold fire on my refund until we hear back from you 👍

I did pre-order this but cancelled it a couple of days ago after reading some concerning things on the gtplanet forum, not just the 30fps but also the developers approach to promoting this console release. I watched the video on the previous page and it looks comparable to PC2, it should look and run a bit better on the One X I'm assuming / hoping?

There’s currently 1 option for multiplayer & that’s “Quick join “- I tried but nobody’s online.

I guess that confirms it then.. if that's the only option there will be no way to do what we want in terms of League racing without including people outside our circle. And there would be no way to guarantee getting all our guys into the same lobby 👎

I think their approach to promoting this console release has been to 'not' promote it as that meant they didn't have to tell us what was being left out of it. The 30 FPS is disappointing of course but if they have optimised it well it could still run nicely but if not then it will be a bit sluggish which is never a good thing for a racing title. Will can hopefully give some feedback on that.

There are other options regarding multiplayer but they are locked out. There’s 1 with licensing restrictions for example. There will probably be more options as the game gets released
Also it looks like you can search for lobbies & servers

That's probably the competition server return the licensing restrictions. None of the options you mention look like they will provide what we need. Not good.
What's the performance like? How does it feel with the 30fps restriction in place?

I only done a couple of laps last night. The feel & weight of the steering wheel was good. I wasn’t impressed with how it looked for a new game though. I was hoping for a big step up in graphics

I guess that's the 30fps restriction not helping in that respect. Clearly the videos we've seen have been from the PC which was worrying when it was the console version they were meant to be promoting.
I'll have to think on the refund over the next couple of days.

It's a shame they didn't give the X extra graphical enhancements like they did with pCars2. It would be nice to see some kind of road map for the game on console but I know that's never going to happen so it's really a case of pay your money and hope the improvements come or bail out and wait to see what happens over the next couple of months.

Despite my disappointment at what's missing I think i'm going to suck it up and accept what we have and download this on Tuesday when it's released. I'll do so knowing full well that we may never get the things we expected but the game does have the best driving physics of any out there so i'll content myself with that for now. It's still hugely disappointing that they are not answering any of the questions being pissed off them in their own forums but having experienced their reluctance to engage with us on the first game I guess we shouldn't be that surprised.
Will, can you let me know whether there is a time trial mode of the game and if so does it have an actual leaderboard facility which was missing from the original game. Cheers.

Here's a clip of a stream from a British guy on the PS4 pro. He goes through quite a lot and it looks good. I didn't notice any obvious frame rate problems myself, but I guess it's hard to tell from a youtube video. There is some pop-in with things off in the distance. I didn't watch every minute of it but he did mention something about you can have a server and name it; might be a workaround instead of private lobbies. I think I'll pre-order it again based on this.

Nice find Gareth 👍 I'll try to watch as much of this as I can but liking your feedback.

I watched about an hour of that video and I have to say I'm feeling better about this game now. Obviously no private lobbies is still a concern but hopefully that can be fixed at some point.

I've set it downloading now... No going back so let's see what's what with it as the next few weeks and months progress. I'm not expecting too much but private lobbies will hopefully be the least of the things they sort out.
Now installed but still not letting me play so I'll have to wait until midnight I guess. Might have a quick half hour before bed if it is released at that point.

I think every new game iv'e purchased recently has seemed half finished & buggy. Whether it's first person shooters or racing games the trend these days is to rush the game out then fix it with updates & add new content over the coming years. ACC will be no different so stick with it. Peter - i haven't been on to look if there's time trail, so don't know sorry.
