Bought this earlier, need to download a controller preset though as it felt a bit off during the two laps I played through earlier.

After latest update I get a black screen when I go to the driving screen?

Anyone had anything like that

In previous builds I was getting the black screen after hitting the drive button because the game was trying to render the game in a resolution or refresh rate not supported by my monitor.

Just check that in the settings and make sure you're not running anything with an overlay, like MSI Afterburner.

I know it's not the finished product yet but the GUI and menus in general are cluttered and awful. Also a bit silly that I can't navigate menus with the controller and have to keep getting up to the keyboard whenever I want to do anything. Can't even pause the game with the pad unless I'm missing a setting somewhere.

Finally worked out my xfire issue! Gone back to 14.1 drivers and all running great again

Now I have both cards going thought I would give it a good test, 24 Zondas on mugello with all settings near enough on max ( except reflection refresh which appears to be the culprit of the crossfire flicker bug!) which Averaged 35-40 with in car view. Well chuffed!

My love affair with this game has started all over again

You're happy with 35-40fps? Just turn down reflections and it should be a smooth 60 and not look all that different in cockpit view. I manage that with just one 7950.

phatboy · 20 Oct 2014 at 23:16

Have try that tomorrow then, I was already pretty chuffed lol

Looking through AC forums picture thread makes me think about upgrading my rig :

No the game is not pad friendly when navigating the menus, KS even showed how you could do it with a tablet a few years ago but haven't implemented it or canned the feature. I've tried several times and through different avenues to ask them about this and a few other things but I may aswell talk to a brick wall.

Is anyone else's Trento Bondone hillclimb not appearing in the track selection menu?
I updated yesterday and it wast there so deleted all the AC stuff and re-downloaded but its still not appearing.

Think it's only available in practice mode.

Hopefully it's something they will put in before the game comes out of Beta. I know it's aimed at sim enthusiasts who will all certainly own wheels but there are a lot of people who play racing games with a 360 pad and for them to not bother supporting it fully is just retarded.

Even then you don't get given a time when you finish

I had a go on Trento Bondone, got bored after a few minutes. Was just too tight for it to be much fun for me, and having to use full 900 degree lock for some of the corners was just tiring!

Uncle Petey · 21 Oct 2014 at 19:39

I think it's one for the drifters tbh.

stephenb · 21 Oct 2014 at 19:48

It's very entertaining in the Cobra!

I've been having a blast in the 458 GT2 at Spa. Put it on the super softs and you can really rag it for a couple of laps before the tyres start to go off

Surely it's too tight for drifting? I was having to take corners at a crawl. Could get away with handbrake turns but I can't see drifting really existing!
