I can't get the ruddy game to run. I'm getting a can't access file error message repeatedly. I'm going to reinstall tomorrow as I've verified and buggered about with permissions a silly amount now

have a look at this thread for some suggestions

Assetto Corsa Challenge #4

Car

BMW M3 E30 Group A

Track

Brands Hatch Indy

Setup Limitations

None

Cut off Date & Time

10/10/2016 @ 08:00AM

With a small track of 1.208 miles and a car with 330BHP the lap times with be under a minute but that doesn't mean it will be anything but easy. Brands Hatch Indy is a simple circuit on the face of it but has one of the most memorable first corners of any British circuit and the Group A is certainly going to be a handful getting out of the corners.

I'm hoping that because you can get a lot of laps in within a short time it'll help everyone explore the car, track and setup options. Enjoy!

If you can run this a little longer I'll have a couple of goes tonight! Looks fun.

Oh bmw group A, one of my fave cars! This one will be exciting.

Fresh install, still this:


I think part of the problem is that the game is installed on my E: drive along with everything else My C drive is a solid state for booting up and nothing else.
It's more annoying that i played it when i first downloaded it a few months back, and now it doesn't work.

I have my game installed on another drive like you, check what permissions the folder has

I figured it out. At some point I managed to hide and lock all folders within my documents. I've been getting so mad at Asseto Corsa, GTAV, and various other games that wouldn't load for months. It turns out the only issue was my own idiocy

glad you fixed it.

There is an unofficial PH Discord server if anyone is interested?

I guess someone's got to go first!

After a 10 day struggle I've finally got my PC rebuilt, so I can join in now, although I'm very busy at the moment, so not sure if I'll get a chance to have another go before Sunday - hopefully I will.

This is going to sound stupid, but how are you getting 3 sectors on BH Indy, on practice and hot lap my times are only showing 2

Haven't checked put he's probably gone off RSR times whilst Assetto Corsa will only give you two. If you're not using RSR just put the two sectors times if you want.

Nice to see you back racing Rob.

Sorry, yes, that's right Andy. I confess I don't even look at AC sector times, I just set my lap and then open RSR next to PH and copy everything over.

Cheers Andy - I expect you'll soon be in the 49s around there

I've just had another go:

Did a quick few laps to put a time down but need to spend some time on the setup I think, always find the e30 a bit sketchy/bouncy. Will try get RSR to work too at some point as last time I tried I couldn't get it to work.

[Chongwong]

I find myself wishing i had a wheel, slide recovery is tricky on a controller. I've no logged 6 hours in game and can't get below 53.5 seconds :'(

Beginning to get the hang of this i think:



I spend waay to long dicking around/ crashing between hot laps XD

I can imagine, yes! The wheel's great for both realism and delicately controlling the car on the limit. I can only begin to imagine how hard it must be with your thumbs on rubber mushrooms. If you get a wheel, I'd highly recommend three pedals and a shifter too (I have a G27), which is fantastic for immersion and realism. Multiple turns lock to lock is good for simulating road cars as well if you drive them at all.

I switched the server across to the BMW challenge last night. We could do a few races on Thursday evening if people are about?

I'd love to, but satellite broadband with a ping over a second wouldn't work.. Hopefully next year we'll be getting FTTP though!

Server is working fine, had a go on it a moment ago, i'm 2 seconds per lap slower now for some reason though XD
