Assetto Corsa Competizione: V1.8.0-Update für PS5 und Xbox Series X|S, Termin für neue DLC

  ZoomAssetto Corsa CompetizioneBilder vom 02.10.22Das für die Konsolenversion von Assetto Corsa Competizione verantwortliche Studio Untold Games hat am Donnerstag die Bereitstellung des großen V1.8-Updates für die PlayStation 5 und Xbox Series X|S verkündet, welches mit umfangreichen Änderungen, einschließlich einem verbesserten Reifenmodell, einer neuen 400hz-Physik-Engine und erweiterten Gameplaymöglichkeiten allen Konsolenracern mehr Simulation und Realismus geben will.

Dazu erklärt man: "Das neue Modell führt dazu, dass die Reifen im Laufe eines Rennens empfindlicher werden, was einige Dinge an Ihrem möglichen Fahrstil ändern kann. Das Scheuern der Reifen kann zu erhöhtem Verschleiß und Gripverlust führen, was die Langlebigkeit des Gummis verringert und zu einem Abfall der Rundenzeiten führen kann.

  Zoom Scheuern und Rutschen sind nicht die einzigen Faktoren, die sich auf den Verschleiß auswirken können. Die Abstimmung spielt eine noch wichtigere Rolle, und die Anpassung des Sturzes kann den Grip an der Außen-, Mittel- und Innenseite des Reifens stark verändern. Wir haben auch Änderungen am Reifentemperaturfenster, Verbesserungen an der Traktionskontrolle, Verbesserungen der Reifenflexibilität und vieles mehr vorgenommen.

Die neue 400-Hz-Physik-Engine sorgt für ein viel flüssigeres Spielerlebnis. Dies wirkt sich zwar nicht in vollem Umfang auf die FPS aus, sorgt aber für eine 20-prozentige Verbesserung des Fahrverhaltens auf der Strecke im Vergleich zu V1.7. Bei 250 km/h bewegt sich das Auto 69 Meter pro Sekunde, was bedeutet, dass die neue Physik-Engine bei solch hohen Geschwindigkeiten alle 17 cm den Reifenboden erkennt. Das Ergebnis ist eine verbesserte und detailliertere Reifen-zu-Bordstein-Simulation, eine verbesserte Interaktion von Federn und Dämpfern bei höheren Raten, eine verbesserte und präzisere FFB-Aktualisierung usw. usw.

  Zoom Neu hinzugefügt als Bonusinhalt wurde die Saison 2021 der Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe mit allen Teilnehmern, Lackierungen und Fahrern und der Meisterschaftssaison, einschließlich einer aktualisierten BOP für die teilnehmenden Strecken. Wie bei jedem Saison-Update gibt es auch hier eine riesige Anzahl neuer Teilnehmer, Designs und Fahrer zur Auswahl sowie eine eigene Meisterschaftssaison.

Als größte spielerische Neuerung fügen wir eine "Open Season" im Einzelspielermodus hinzu, die alle Spielinhalte zu einer "Sandbox"-Saison mit anpassbarer Startaufstellung und der Option, die Startaufstellung der Gegner mit den Spielmodi "Custom Race Weekend" und "Quick Race" zu mischen, zusammenfasst."

  Zoom Außerdem hat man angekündigt, dass das American Track Pack mit den drei Strecken Circuit of the Americas, Indianapolis Motor Speedway und Watkins Glen International sowie das Challengers Pack mit den 5 Fahrzeugen Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II, BMW M2 CS Racing, Ferrari 488 GT3 Challenge Evo, Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO 2 und Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Type 992) ab dem 10. November 2022 für die Konsolenversionen erhältlich sein werden.

Assetto Corsa Competizione - PS5/Xbox Series X|S - V1.8-Changelog:
GENERAL:
-Added Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe 2021 season as bonus content with all entries, liveries and drivers and championship season.
NOTE: certain entries are subject to DLC ownership.
-Added all-new BMW M4 GT3 as bonus content as part of the 2021 season.

GRAPHICS:
-Updated global lighting and exposure on all tracks.
-Revision of various track-related shaders.
-Revision of various car-related shaders.
-Skybox revision.
-Improved blurred wheel rim shader.
-Improved car spray effect, especially in light/medium wetness situations.
-Improved raindrop effect rendering logic to follow the updated spray effect.
-Improved rainfall shader appearance in external cameras.
-Car headlight shadow bias tweaks to prevent lights from penetrating walls at close distance.
-Updated track HLODs.

GAMEPLAY:
-Added Open season, merging all game content into a "sandbox" season featuring grid customization.
NOTE: individual official seasons remain playable with no change to their earlier functionalities.
-Added opponent grid mixing option to Custom Race Weekend and Quick Race game modes in the Open season.
Use the grid mixing sliders to set car group prevalence in the grid.
GT3 car group has an additional setting for the preferred generation of opponent cars (all, pre-2019 or new-gen).
-Added Open series championship mode with grid (car groups) and track lineup customization.
-Automatically generated custom cars are now grouped into teams both in single-make custom mode and Open series championship.
-Reworked driver assignment system to support custom-generated grids and various driver count requirements.
-Removed entry duplication between the 2019 GTWCH and IGT seasons.
-Tweaked AI logic for strategic decisions reacting to weather changes.
-Improved AI genome at Bathurst, Barcelona, Laguna Seca and Kyalami to reduce the chance of unforced driving errors.
-Improved weather model: variability (=randomness in MP) now affects the variation and frequency of weather cycles:
Higher variability will now produce larger variation and less predictability in the length of individual weather cycles (time between peaks).
High variability might produce both fast changes or prolonged weather spells (or both combined) within the same weekend simulation.
Low variability will produce more even weather cycles, akin to the pre-update model.
-Revised pit speeding thresholds that were often too permissive, both on pit entry and pit exit.
-Fixed invalid lap being eligible for personal and session fastest (purple) lap in race sessions (also in Multiplayer results).
-Added measures against irregular driving before the green light in Hotlap and Hotstint game modes.
-Replay: revised replay tyre rotation matrix calculation to avoid misalignment between tyres and rim (and reduce disk space).
The improvement is backwards-compatible, while newly saved replays should occupy less disk space than before.

UI:
-Revised season selector header in Single Player menu.
-Added GTWCHEU 2021 season selection in Single Player.
-Added Open series selection in Single Player.
-Added coloured session labels in the Replay menu.
-Added session fastest (purple) lap holder indicator in standings, leaderboard and timer widgets.
-Added pitstop indicator and session fastest lap on the leaderboard HUD overlay.

PHYSICS:
-Physics engine optimizations: variable component tick frequency, optimized multithreading.
It results in smoother single-player performance with a high number of AI and fewer spikes due to overloading single cores on heavy calculations (such as simultaneous collisions).
Might not result in outright maximum fps gain, but a significantly lower single-thread occupancy and late steps can be expected, particularly with larger grids.
-400hz physics refresh rate.
-Improved tyre flex.
-Improved camber simulation, especially on high positive camber values.
-Improved Outside, Mid, and Inside tyre heating relative to camber.
-Improved Outside, Mid, and Inside tyre wear relative to camber.
-Improved camber gain simulation, affecting slip angles and forces. Evident with high camber values over kerbs and longitudinal bumps.
-Improved surface flash temperature tyre simulation. A wider range of heat generation.
-Improved heat generation in extreme conditions (burnouts, doughnuts).
-Improved heat generation relative to tyre pressure.
-Improved core temperature retaining. Tyres dissipate heat significantly slower now, no need to wait right until the last moment to go to the grid.
-Completely revised and improved combined grip simulation.
-Completely revised and improved tyre vibrations at high speed and high slip angles.
-Improved slip angle/ratio simulation relative to cold and overheating tyres.
-New viscoelastic rubber friction model.
-Improved dynamic tyre characteristics in various temperature conditions.
-New rubber bump stops damping simulation.
-Implemented bump stops damping values for all cars.
-Improved engine throttle simulation.
-Improved launch control.
-Improved rev limiter behaviour (soft limiters on some cars).
-Improved traction control simulation.
-Improved brake ducts heating influence simulation.
-Improved rain tyres behaviour (note: not necessarily easier).
-Improved the simulation of brake efficiency and power.
-Improved track grip simulation on and off the racing line.
-Improved ambient vs. track temperature delta.
-Added a condition that simulates mist and dew during the night in certain temperatures.
-Improved certain track condition simulation, including the speed of puddle formation.

MULTIPLAYER:
-Revised car groups, merging the CUP and ST groups into a single GTC group for matchmaking and server filtering.
Note that CUP and ST remain represented as separate subgroups on the track map, leaderboards and results.
-Stats: revised and merged grouping of statistics per race track.
Note that tracks are only separated per season whereas an older season might produce faster lap times due to higher track grip (such as the fresh asphalt on Silverstone 2018).
-Multiplayer track seasons are now deprecated and all track configurations point to the Open series (currently matching the latest, 2021 season, see Physics notes).
Note for admins: the old season suffixes in the server configuration will remain there for legacy functionality, but they will no longer create a difference in the track/BOP version!
Server track configuration (event.json) should use the non-suffix version in continuation, e.g. "Misano" instead of "misano_20XX".
Note for users: no matter the server config, Multiplayer will always use the latest Open series configuration from Single Player.
-Further revised final corner penalty thresholds with the widget formation type when the back of the field is likely to receive the green light inside or coming out of the final turn.
-Ratings: fixed an issue that could erroneously produce 100 (or 00) CC ratings at Spa.
-Protocol change -old server versions are obsolete and will not register on the backend.
