VR update, and some other additions and improvements

Another update! Sorry it took so long, as usual I kept coming up with new ideas and finding new bugs here and there. Here are few highlights:

• Major VR update: Single Pass Stereo (drawing the whole scene in a single pass) should reduce CPU load, Variable Rate Shading (currently only available on NVIDIA GPUs) can improve visual quality and/or performance (depending on settings). Oculus got ASW 2.0 support, and controllers now can be used to interact with HUD, touchscreens and cockpit buttons (if car would have a script setting those) and adjust mirrors (also, track or online scripts can add additional interactive elements for new racing modes or something like that).

• A lot of new server options: jumping due to connection errors cars can turn ghostly and not cause crashes, servers can force extended car and track physics, require certain CSP modules to be active, disable live settings changes, automatically reset cars stuck in walls or falling through ground, set custom rain racing line parameters and more.

• WeatherFX implementation scripts now can create new original effects using their own shaders, like auroras, lightnings, dust storms, tornadoes, etc. Default WeatherFX script already got auroras, rain haze (the effect that was missing from RainFX) and fog hiding upper parts of sky scrapers in foggy conditions. Also, now it has proper rain audio, and wiper sounds are now working by default.

• Now CSP comes with few built-in Lua apps: previously mentioned mirrors configurator and controls tweaker for adjusting FFB and more live, and a new app Setup Exchange for sharing and loading setups while editing car setup (and, of course, there is new Lua API allowing to create other tools extending setup menu like that):

• New showroom mode for AC with CSP: available from updated CM, in that mode CSP disables audio, Python apps and such to try and load the game as fast as possible, automatically adding missing things to showrooms like spawn points and physics meshes:

• A bunch of new shaders: changing height water for water drains, rainbow stickers, ChromaFlair car paint, car paint and variation of “ksPerPixelMultiMap_AT_NMDetail” with stickers mapped using UV2 and more. Also, AC finally got proper PBR shaders for tracks, but they would still need more work until they’d be usable for creating whole tracks (currently only basic shaders are available). And water shader got updated, now with optional depth-aware transparency (for fitting tracks) and caustics with ExtraFX:

• And a bunch of smaller things, like stopping AC from showing other tracks with no setups in setup menu, new optimizations, various fixes (new wipers are finally fixed!), an ability to replace AC AI and control cars externally and a lot of additions to Lua API. Here is the full list of changes. Also, not mentioned there: DRM cars now will have their rain tyres replaced by new CSP rain tyres, and rain got a few more effects (that rain haze and rain drop splashes).

Thank you so much for all of the support, and, again, sorry it took so long. I’ll try to get the next update sooner, or at least get some stable and shareable preview builds. Next on my list (can’t say for sure if I’d be able to do it, but I’ll try): try to get TreesFX to work, add Leap integration and try to add local reflections for VR, finish PBR shaders for tracks and, of course, work on all the documentation.

(Public CM update will be ready a bit later, I just realized fix for fixed setups online is not entirely complete yet, so I’ll need to quickly patch it first. Here is a preview build for it so far if you’d want to try new showroom mode. Simply use original AC showroom with a new option toggled.)

i ask the same. did u have a solution?

how do i activate auroras??

Hey, I'd make it work, first I deleted it my old Content Manager , go to user/appdata/local/actools. Must delete the whole actools folder. Next find the content manager executable folder as well,, kill it. Make sure you go and download the old content manager file, I found the one this guy is giving away does not have the script sol to work or at least is different and didn't work out for me, next get the sol 2.2.8 from Race Department, next keep csp 1.79 , ps make sure you follow the recipe of installing from the pdg file for sol. Stay with csp 1.79 full preview, is important to select from the weather options in CM: in weather FX : controller script2.5 (the one at the bottom) and Weather scrip: leave it at : sol 2.2.8. PS: I ended up with a terrible headache after this shit, best of luck. Regards.

same @jose

Hello I have csp 1.79 and sol 2.2.8 and I only can hear the rain .

I agree

My guy paid one dollar and is mad, you just need to run CM as admin broski

I even can't in content manager install it LOL so for what I paid 1 dollar? :D

same hewre

Hi. I have an issue, with 1.80 I can't see rain tyres on cars that apears corectly in 1.79 version. Is there any solution for that?

Rain still broken for me, i tried to reinstall everything

which one?

I had to go back to using "regular" sol to get rain

Wallstreet Omegazoe

for some reason after intalling this, i dont get the option to pick sol in weather script anymore

Yeah what Sol weather script you running

wdym, i have rain. did you guys download properly?

I’m having the same issue with 1.8

hello to you and thank you for your tutorial, I have sol 2.2 and 0.1.79 shader unfortunately no rain. do you have a solution thank you

David Djp

Sol 2.2 Had lost its rain effects but on Sol I was ok. What version of Sol do I need with 1.80 lights patch?

yup I got the same problem

I performed a manual install and had issues with Sol 2.2.2 controller not running. Re-installed Sol 2.2. Still no good. I reverted back to 1.79 and verified that Sol 2.2 was working. I then dragged and dropped light patch 1.8 (auto install) and now reporting at 1.8 shaders patch and Sol 2.2.x controller is running. I will continue testing.

R Ernst

The performance VR it's awesome, but the rain sound it's gone... all perfct except this! anyone with this problem?

Thank you very much for your amazing and fantastic work, Ilja. You make me so happy ^^

I would like to thank you all for all the hard work you do it is greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to the next update I am sure it will be worth the wait :)

Arron Mitchell

When using the new UI, in the garage adjustment interface, the TOE adjustment sliders of the front and rear right wheels and the data display on the right side seem to be reversed. When the data shows a negative TOE, the outside viewing angle looks like the wheel is at an angle with a positive TOE.

In Valve terms? XDD

oOXenon TitareOo

Very soon

Maksbyart

Very very soon trust me very soon

Maksbyart

Dosent matter , a man is alive ! There’s a war going on that he could be thrown in to ! So as soon as he Ready it will come out .

Maksbyart

When is a new update coming out

In 2023?

oOXenon TitareOo

Thats even better news! ;) jk

Gijs Laumen

New update is rolling out

Maksbyart

What did he say?

oOXenon TitareOo

i am having the same issue

Do you have soul installed too?

Maksbyart

As I was worried and I was right , the delay was due to war and draft , he’s ok now so updates are coming I have dm from ilja

Maksbyart

Ilja is back Ilja is back ! I got a DM from Ilja saying he is finally safe and sound!!!!!!! Woot wooot

Maksbyart

anyone knows how to fix rain? i've installed the patch, checked RainFX and doesnt work

Hello kids, I can't even consider you "guys" the ones that keep writting BS about the creator, ... Did any of you saw that Content Manager is getting updates regulary? I'm sure I've got TWO of these updates during last 3 - 4 weeks... So Ilija is "killing the innocent" but working on CM updates... Wow! I guess all those comments full of hate against the creator are irrational political thoughts of every BS that has to be with his nationality and your lack of brain. You are free to stay or quit, but I find really annoying and stupid to blame the creator with NO ARGUMENTS and having no fuckin idea about what he is or not doing. Check the fucking CM childs, your brain is full of crap

Josep

In CM /settings / assetto corsa/system untick hide driver

jelly

anyone know how to fix when i go to first person theres no driver?

What a nasty comment

Mayhaps, than let us know... Bruh... It's like not answering your parents or your loved one for a long time. People will think and feel stuff. You need to speak up and answer... Ilja is good, yes... But it's not an excuse to leave people without information. In my terms: If he gets money, we want value for our money. Heck, I don't even care, raise the minimum from 1$ to 5, but atleast let us know what the fuck is going on...

oOXenon TitareOo

The new update is coming... we appreciate the hard work behind this project. Our patience will surely be rewarded!

Jacopo Di Giuli

So still nothing? Ok guys I think he’s done , Russia froze banks so these funds will only support more killings in Ukraine , ilia is probably on the front lines or hiding from draft , so sending money is just basically sponsoring war crimes at this point , at 30k a month ! I’m gone , ‘‘twas nice but he’s gone for who knows how long anymore !

Maksbyart

Yeah , I mean he probably not going to come back for a long time if ever , sad but that’s what his country wants . So no reason to pay 30k a month to person who dosent exist anymore due to WAR!!!!!!!!!! He hasnt replied in month and month , no one know where he is and even if his alive!!!!! I’m pulling out , these donations are empty and most likely end up in Russian government hands and support the War and killings in Ukraine ! Banks are frozen so these money are done for I Ruzzia. You guys can do as you please but it’s no use .

Maksbyart

i think its better to stop the subscription and just comeback whenever we hear from him again

I have no clue of what you mean

Elis Steiner

there was lesser patreons when he drop builds monthly :) I wait a few week and i will let go , removing my suport and this is it moving somewhere else .People can complain about people leaving but i know and looks like there is people here and on csp discord whos seem's to get paid just for trolling down peoples who are complain to iljas recent incompetence, and feeding everyone with bullshits and hopes .You know what i mean , im way long time involved in this to get a good aspect of the situation O7 cmdrs

Jeno Galatz

drop it in your ac root folder

drop it in your ac root folder

what?

Yeah and a lot of my Ukrainian families , wtf is ur problem ?!

Maksbyart

Have you heard from him since war escalated and they started drafting more guys in?

Maksbyart

Just saying , look at what happening there , what is the chance of it being the truth?

Maksbyart

did ur dog die

Hope we are not just paying to patreon at this point if the guy is at the front line or in jail for evading draft , please respond that you are well and alive ! I for some reason remmebr seeing that he lives in Russia , so considering the war in Ukraine I hope it’s not the end of his career !

Maksbyart

Considering that his in Russia and in the age of draft call :/ has anyone heard from him in last month or is he invading Ukraine at this point? Hope he ran from Saint Petersburg 8 month ago !

Maksbyart

it is not a steam version - it is pro version

go to steam and verify integrity of game files

jelly

just restart CM and try again

same error... anyone can help?

Got 3 errors on anything above 1.73. Im using AC Pro version: can't find "ksgui::ListBoxRowData""ListBoxRwData[0x16D]" can't find "vr::VRSettings" can't find "vr::VRCompositor" Please make sure you'are using correct AC Version 1.16.3 or 1.16.4 64-bit Any solution?

Got an error saying cannot install two things at once, anyone know what to do?

it works you don't worry, the rendering is going to be amazing. with real physics in the rain.. we will not be disappointed with the expectation ;)

PorschemanShip

The anticipation for the next update is high for sure, I know I feel it anyway, but I don't think we can reasonably view this as a regular producer/consumer transaction can we? Unless I'm misunderstanding things we're supporting Ilja doing things on his own terms, it says pretty much exactly that in the "Become a creator" panel on this page.

4 months today since the last preview build, And this guy is making more than a low income earners annual salary every month, for his patreons to not see anything for there funding of his efforts. This next update would want to be amazing or I'm cancelling my funding.

Russell Harris

Delete old Content Manager with a new one and try again

news on new patch/update? It's been a lot of months...

oOXenon TitareOo

I cant install it in Content Manager. It says: "cant install two thingsat once" Any Ideas?

I install but in Custom Shader Patch i see ''Not Available to intall'' in 1.79 version in grey colour, i not see the rain.

This fix has worked for me, thank you!

not all tracks have wet configs. try spa..... when in the car move the mouse to the right menu and click on rain debug to test

jelly

that's correct , it should be greyed out

jelly

I install it and it says not available for install in the CSP update settings, any help?

Joseph j

Did any one know why the track still dry?

Content Manager and Lightspatch 1.79 preview 5full

the most recent

do i need to download all the links or only the most felt?

do not update windows. maybe it also works for you. Yesterday i did some WinUpdates and since then bluscreen of death. Or sometimes freeze only. After 8 Hours of installing deinstalling and everything in the middle and between. after 3 x win installing, i stoped AutoUpdate for Windows and no AutoInstall Drivers. And now i can run Assetto as long as i want

maybe its win 10 updates for me. still testing but on the right path i hope

i played one whole week with csp 1.7.9 prev.. no probs.one online session with over 250km. Since yesterday. Now i get bluescreens as soon i start a session or as soons as i drive out the pits

my rain used to work and now it doesnt but it shows the wipers moving and ive also tried everything you guys are saying and still nothing idk what to do at this point

the game crashes every time I play now. I leave the pits and then it crashes. every time

The paid version of content manager makes no difference. Sol makes no difference. You need CSP , custom shaders patch . The one you get on this page . This one , the paid version has rain in it. After ,,, you use sol weather app to set it or turn it on .

Da Sim SIMMA

Turn off auto updates in CSP. then just drag and drop the lights-patch-v0.1.79-preview5-full.zip in CM. if all correct it will be greyed out

jelly

Thank you again for all your fantastic work. I love the way the oil leaks when you blow the engine.

jelly

need help for install mod, It tells me that I need to update the custom shaders patch but I have the latest version and it still won't let me install it, help

Psicopata Pelotudo

Try have a look at Particles Fx - New smoke and dust in CSP settings. May be your issue.

same i need some help installing this

Figured it out. To make this clear for everyone The lights patch is what is needed for rain to work

D

yeah it was a thing but it just stopped working for some reason :-(

Sun Kin

Anyone having trouble with the rain not showing up, make sure you manually install the update by dragging the files to your assetto corsa folder and update it again with content manager. Worked for me

you need sol, and make it rain thru the sol planner app

I have paid version of CM and latest CSP from website. how the hell do i make it rain?

D

This is a different version of Content manager then the one on the website?

D

u mean droplets flyin outta tyres? i dont know, didnt see it on my VR either. is that a thing!?

hit me up on a Discord i'll help you out, if still needed. Filip#9547

the online functionality of rain seems fine, the track wets up good, but no spray?.....anyone got a fix for that?

Sun Kin

Hi There I'm new to this site. I have content manager installed...the paid version. What do I do with this new Content manager zip? The instruction says just extract it and leave it?

Hi i was wondering i have rain drop but the track is not wet for some reason

Hey how can you turn on aurora ?

Thank You for your work game looks amazing :)

I'm not sure that's true. I install my CSP updates through CM every time, and I have rain and weather working properly. Just be sure to select, "clean old configs and shaders first" from the dropdown.

John Roberts

?

Okay, here is how i fix the rain fx. First go to documents, change your Assetto Corsa folder name to _Assetto Corsa launch CM, let it create a new AC folder, install CSP to check rain(you dont have to) then close CM, delete the folder that you've created, rename the _AC to AC back, launch CM, go to settings>csp>delete patch and make a clean install of this preview. Let me know if it works out for you too

Guys, you need to manually install CSP via dragging the folders / files into the correct directory. Don't install CSP through Content Manager.

steffo_racing

Hello, I lost SMOKE if I dissable "new Smoke and dust" I get old smoke, but if I enable it I have nothing... I already uninstalled csp, did clean install, went back to previous versions, etc... is not working. I need support here please.

ok, working rain now. Not sure what was different when I reinstalled 0.1.179prev5 this time. Greyed out as jelly said it was supposed to, Rain FX active, and Sol Planner selected Rain (or whatever) works. Looks great, surprisingly noisy inside the car from the rain. :)

mh

greyed out, and says not available to install. What then am I paying for on Patreon? The only version I can load is 0.1.78 (and below).

For some reason AI traffic doesn't work on this version

appreciate your work you got time to help me with a problem? my content manager is always saying waiting for end of race without actually starting it?

Any reason why rain isn't working on this update?

hey Ilja! excellent work like always! i have one bug(?). the custom showroom backgrounds from Paulaob and all various showrooms are missing. am i doing something wrong here? do i have to download those first? best wishes from germany. herr löblich

What's the name of the server please? So that we can join.

After greeting I have a problem I downloaded the zip file lights patch v0.1.79 preview5 I drag and drop it into Content Manager And I installed it I launch the game. With no problem. But I couldn't find it. it didn't work and I don't know how to do it and I don't know what to do please help me And the second question: Can I use it in online servers or not,

just come back to the game after a few months, and i founf Shutoko servers with day night cycle AND weatherFX AND heavy AI traffic...AMAZING!!, how the hell i'm running this on my potato is beyond me, whoop!! cruisin' time, and the AI acts alright man, you get the odd pop in but nothing game breaking, and on 'some' cars the wipers only throw the water around but...Genius work, hats off to all the people who have made this happen, wow

Sun Kin

Ever since this update my VR mirroring is not working. I've tried using the CM mirroring, the default, changing around PPfilter stuff, etc. It's just a black screen on my main monitor.

when I have the rain on it still wont rain

assetto game folder

witch game folder?

@Happy, been using this for a few days now & absolutely no issues for me with any aspect of the update. Wipers for one are working great & greatly needed with the improvements to rain etc. Maybe the wiper issue is due to a specific setting in an obscure tab in CM, content/miscellaneous as an example... Anyway, keep up the awesome work @x4fab, my support remains & I look forward to the next update...

StarDog

manually install in asseto game folder

cant even install says cant install 2 things at once any help????

Tyler

delete old CM.exe and drag your "new" one from patreon on the old place, drag and drop CSP into and your good, CSP and CM should not update automaticaly bcs of the CSP Preview build and CM build Version

Is there a fix for Windshield Wipers? I know there is a Bug with Patreon CSP and the Wipers, but they worked at the beginning and now they dont ... settings are the same and i tried other buttons that also dont work. The Cars are also the same, Track is the same etc ...

Hello, first of all I want to thank Ilja for everything he does with the CSP, very good job. I have a query, I would like to know if anyone else has this problem with Motion Blur, when cars are in motion they usually create a kind of strange pixelated shadow, and I don't know how to remove it without deactivating Motion Blur. https://postimg.cc/7bNRJJzy

I did that and now it shows in the latest version of CSP but the game crashes and says error and I'm not sure what I did to do this. How can I fix this or have screwed this up?

Twisteddrift

prewiew versions, must be manually dragged/ copied , into AC folder . Remember , it consists of 2 files

Martin Kryger

Hi. I just downloaded 1.79, but it doesn't give me the option to replace the current version of CSP (1.73) that I have in CM. Is there a way that I can fix this?

Twisteddrift

hi i want to tell that someone uploaded lights-patch-v0.1.79-preview5-full for free on youtube channel please take action or report and take down. this is video on youtube youtube.com/watch?v=J3mybHRjVd4

drag and drop

ITS_ALZ

I lost wet roads, pure config and the sol configs are there but they don't work with the 1.79 update.

I just updated and now cockpit view is bugged, every other camera angle works fine except the cockpit with steering wheel view, the screen is just frozen when I switch to it and unfrozen whenever I switch to another view

wni

nvm found the problem its related to Weather FX, so gonna re install SOL and see.

im having an issue since I installed it today, it dims the screen on my Pimax 8KX VR, it works fine in single screen, I tried to disable every new setting or mix match some and still didnt fix it, it seems stuck like this even if I go old version now.

i am new to this, where do i put zip file for it to work in cm?

i installed this version use to work perfectly fine but now aim starting to get a pop up message soon as i get in the game it will lag for 5 seconds and a message will pop up saying "Direct input devices are not ready, input devices are still not finished initializing,whole physics part of assetto corsa might not be running correctly, This could be due to a faulty device driver getting stuck" ,Does anyone know what this means i have tried everything let me know thank you.

ITS_ALZ

if you go to carrer mode it will most likely ask you to install a windows program or somethink like that. After you install it you can drag your csp download to CM and the 2 files at once message will not show again. I was having the same problem and luckly managed to solve it, hope I helped :)

Don't install the zip file with CM, just unzip and copy past the folder extension and file dwrite.dll in the rooth of your Assetto Corsa Folder. iT works for me ( make sure before in stalling to have the latest version of the CSP install )

same here

Same happening with me

Hey I'm just having trouble installing the Zip file when I drop it into CM. It says "cannot download 2 things at once" when i try to install.

Is there a way to use the AI flood feature with this version?

Thanks for all the great work. I'm having constant crashes after a few minutes of driving (any track, any car) on 0.1.79. 0.1.78 working like a charm for me with all settings the same.

You can active the rain in the csp settings in "rain fx"

how do you make nothern lights/aurora work

I guess you need to install the version attached to this post (v0.1.79-preview5)

how do you fix it

I can't make it work, I get this message "0.1.78-preview1 Not available to install" does anyone know how to solve this? thanks in advanced

just downloaded the 1.78 patch and tried that still no luck

i cant even see the version how do i get it to work [i have fix it nevermind]

drag it into assetto corsa map ....remember , lights patch , consists of 2 files

Martin Kryger

@joseph sanita Had the same problem, it's because we only have access to csp 1.78. Download the previous post, it works great

I also cannot get the Rain to work, any clues please ?

Mark BLAYNEY

i have enabled experimental mode and have the latest SOL2.2, all you need to do is drag the lights patch into CSP correct ? tried everything and no rain, super frustrating

Does someone know how to use the new showroom mode?

Sandro Gth

The rain works it just doesn't show on my windshield.

Hello Does anybody know how to create a chromaflair paint? I've been trying to make my own one but without success...

I can't get rain to work using Sol Planner either. It worked before.

I've done the same, I've done everything imaginable to get the rain to work to no resolution, is there any fix?

Assetto corsa, has no rain....csp has .I use sol planner , when i am on the track . There you can change the weather, as you like .
