i don't have any friends i play AC with but its pretty chill when i go around shutoko gliding through traffic with some music in the back ground

I'm the opposite, I'm a car guy who's gone into more Sim as I have less and less time to just go out and Drive. It helps that it means clocking less mileage on my cars and less spend on fuel and tyres. But I imagine a lot of AC guys do eventually grow up and get real cars and spend their time actually driving.

Played AC since 2015 but now switched to BeamNG for the past 2 years. Just loved how I can actually mod the cars and have a realistic cruises. The crashes as well is what makes it fun.

I think that the actual racing part of AC is more enjoyable than togue racing, I found that often many road cars mod has very good 3d model but absolutely terrible physics. While on track racing this problem is not so frequent

I only got into AC at the start of this year but what keeps me coming back is how many disciplines you can participate in having one game. Drag, drift, F1, rally, GT3... so much to do I don't even have time for all of it. I'm basically just trying to get better at GT3 at this point... glad to see your having fun in Gran Turismo dude!

>car looks good but drives like shit Oh boi you are so right

Sad to see you leave the AC community since u were one of the main people that made me want to get AC so very badly but it’s ur choice and ur life do what u want with it! Excited to see what u do next on YT!

Dont worry bro youve got AC EVO coming up!

The thing that made me come back to AC was LFM. Before LFM, AC was more of a "toy game" to do stuff like touge and shutoko and I'd hop on it every once in a while to mess around, but with LFM I actually got invested into practicing the game and having actually nice races. Not to mention you don't have to deal with a billion mods, you're usually gonna spend a lot of time driving one car and track combo (and it's usually either kunos cars or mods of decent quality, not an assortment of random stuff)

The same thing happened to me. I wanted to try AC so badly because of the drifting, I even bought a wheel because of it. The game started out nice and went straight to modding it, even paid for some mods, then my game looked amazing, then one day all of sudden the graphic mods I had installed for some reason stopped working then the game looked worse than the day I bought it lol. I also bought the wrong wheel I bought Thrustmaster T150 and for some reason the physics on the game doesn't like my wheel and I struggled to drift in the game so I left and I struggle to play the game now. Great video man I wish you the best for whatever you do next on youtube.

i just found this channel right now and i can relate, i've been playing ac for a while and even with good gear i have rn i lost the fun in playing ac, i just got bored, now im playing iracing, or working on irl cars and bikes. nice vid sub worthy 👍👍

How you described the difficulty and frustration of getting ac to work sometimes is exactly what used to happen to me playing rfactor back in the day. Hours of searching forums and mucking around in explorer. i sometimes get flashbacks when trying to play AC 😂. I recently discovered carX and its refreshing how you can jump on and everything just works (usually)

I can completely understand your point honestly man. I miss alot of the people i used to drive with on ac. Personally i absolutely love the game even with it's headaches when it comes to content manager. But i also have a huge passion for photography and cars in particular. I miss the friends I've made through ac. Tho I can't wait to create more and memories along the way as well. Plus content making. You do amazing work man truly. Keep doing you. Cant wait for more amazing content

i dont have any friends to play with but what i do is that i pick some race cars, try them on trackdays and just chill back vibin with music

Been at it a few months started to get boring, but then I discoverd LFM, if you're into racing it's actually cool to get into. Exploring other deciplines to keep it spicy and taking breaks every now and then.

Single player ghost here with many hours in and still around...Enjoy your journey wherever it takes you brother!

I understand the frustration of just wanting to sit down and play but having to fix things first. letting go of AC to be able to do more various car related things is very understandable. Go for it! Take those steps. I wish you best of luck in moving forward. I'd love to see things not AC from you.

You'll be back. Just don't feel pressured to make videos.

I started sim racing early this year. I have spent a few thousand on my rig and was playing almost everyday. Now I only get on my rig 1-3 times a week, since playing it everyday does get exhausting. I do not have problems with my Assetto Corsa. Surprisingly things that I download and install works well first try. The only problem is my skill level on driving and ability to tune cars. Whenever I race people online, I always get left behind. I try my best to get as much information as I can on how to go faster and the best techniques but I have trouble applying these knowledge in-game. I still play the game but less interested compared to when I started.

One thing I realized in my life is that people change a lot with time, it's very normal for people to get fed up with a game, or they might have other important things in life (like in your case) that can also contribute to them taking a pause from the game. I myself have been playing ac since 2019 and I saw a lot of people come and go in my journey. The thing that I agree with you the most is that some servers don't really have skilled drivers anymore: my main thing in ac is casual drifting and tandeming and I just cannot find any good lobbies with very skilled people (some people suggested me to join japanese servers but I just cannot seem to find them in content manager and I don't really know what mods they use). I don't mean to brag or anything, but after years of drifting I would consider myself decent, problem is that now I cannot find many people on a similar level: most people have just started learning and crash at any corner, which is fine in itself but it's sad to see that most of the people who I enjoyed drifting with have gone. The lobbies I enjoyed tandeming in most were the ones in tamada, nikko, ebisu minami, ebisu kita, ebisu west, usui pass, irohazaka pass, meihan and redbull ring winter (this one with wdb cars, which are wdts cars on snow) but every single one of them is completely gone and forgotten. The only ones which are still kinda fun are lobbies in brooklyn park and tsukuba fruits line but they do get kinda stale after driving them thousands of times. It's sad to see the ac community die, I hope ac2 will bring some people back.

exactly what you said, plus the setup takes up a lot of room

I started with AC recently and initially thought the mod stuff would be interesting, but after some initial testing quickly decided the third party element was going to become a support/maintenance nightmare detracting from the actual racing. Kind of like the closed system iPhone OS and apps vs. Android. Hopefully EVO will be a significant move forward.

The only reason why I am hooked is because I found a racing team I can touge with a lot. They are all very nice people and I have learned a lot from them.

Yeah. At some point in life there comes time that time is the more limiting factor rather than the money and then you start to appreciate things like paid DLCs vs mods. For example in AC I can recreate for the most part races/cars from ACC, but in ACC it just works out of the box.

Errors really annoying… I have deleted AC 4 times because of it :(

I've been playing assetto for 2 years and started drifting and then tried cutting up and since then i've been doing both. Also got interested in track racing but I'm starting to get really bored. There used to be way more people in vc 2 years ago and we would just drive and have fun. Now sometimes there a lot of people but it doesn't feel like it used to. I'm excited for Assetto Corsa EVO but idk what i will do there. I have made A LOT of friends on Assetto but now, I never see them online (most of them). There's nothing new to do.

Tbh i also started feeling like ac was getting boring, always the same thing, the same cars, the same maps. But then i realized that ac was not only a touge or drifting game. Racing with friends on the most random cars on random circuit is amazing. Not just high quality modele good looking cars. I also got myself into making tracks and its so good to race on theme with friends

i learned to drift on assetto back in 2019. was young, didnt have a car, loved cars and driving and wanted to learn. ive learned extremely well lol, feel like ive done it all. touges, comp tracks, drifting through traffic. assetto is just stale for me. even picked up a vr for maybe a difference but nope. i really wish they came out with a CM or something like it for competizone or even the new AC coming out. if they incorporate the steam workshop they really could have a masterpiece on their hands

you need to join some community dude. i quitted assetto too until I find a nice local community to play with and do a lot of race events.

AC is better for someone more tech savvy imo. It’s pretty much the same with beamng and even iracing to a certain extent but in a different way, (much more competitive). So that’s just when you can only really play together with people in arcade games like the crew motorfest or forza games.

Its life things change. Similar to you I had other priorities I needed to focus on. Also I did grow tired of troubleshooting or going through hell just to have fun.

Literally just started playing like 2 days ago. I was emulating gran turismo 4 on pc with a ps4 controller for the last year or so, finally got a g29 and shifter for 140 bucks and assetto corsa. "Holy shit" is all I have to say. First time I've played with a wheel. I have not even touched any mods, I foresee it sucking up a lot of my free time

Over the years i got bored of touge more and more and wanted to do something else than playing AC. I felt like i was stalling by being only on touge and as many i slowly moved onto circuits. There are many amazing circuit focused AC communities From very serious to very silly ones. Be it gt3, vintage, v8 super cars, streets or some meme cars. 2500h in AC and still raising

Im in the same boat. I have a house to maintain and kids to feed after long hours of work and only have maybe 2 hours of game/sim time. And its frustrating when AC doesn't work. I do have GT7 on PS4 and plan on getting a PS5 and completing my simagic rig just to run it on GT7. Its just nice to turn on a game and not have to worry about troubleshooting. But that's just the nature of most games when you run mods.

bro spoke for all of us

This is why i just made massive fivem server with all the assetto tracks. shit works when i just wanna hit some touge or drift etc

I was once like you and came right back to ac

i relate to this, heavy. i only play ac when summoned by friends. beamng has consumed me now

personally what i do is i get a massive map get a old benz and just cruise around practice driving its a nice and beautiful experience

I stopped playing AC because it no longer runs on my pc despite everything i try, updates & checking files. I miss just relaxing on a drive but guess i will see what EVO is like when it releases.

I find myself almost never drifting/touge/highway(SRP)/No Hesi because everytime I look at these servers, its always a jumbled mess of files I've never seen before or much less have much interest for. I'm sure its fun and all but I've only focused on doing circuit racing/time attacks/etc where I find my own passion for and race in communities albeit ignoring the "drivers" who are more likely to be upset at me for more than one reason. I reckon just having a group of friends to just drive around and chill is the best part of playing Assetto Corsa nowadays. Mods from RSS/VRC/URD so on so forth just tap a little further on how much this game could've been but can't be when compared to other equivalent titles that have these cars like GT4/GT3/GT2/GT1/LMP3-2-1/and whatnot. Though this is all personal "preferences" and never let irl circumstances get in the way of you enjoying games, cause that's the worst thing if anything.. Just let life take you where you feel is best and look into other genres when you're ready I suppose. 自分の幸せを犠牲にする必要はない 👍

4:25 i am one of those. i bought a miata and that makes up for it, i dont feel like i want to play as much in the sim.

For me, I occasionally get the itch to watch all of Wangan Midnight, since I like it that much. I'm grateful that SRP feels polished, so driving on those roads is always fun, especially now with RiZe's new 911 and Z mods, as well as a powerful enough PC to drive in VR. When it inevitably gets old for me, I can count on eventually getting that itch again. (watching the show again, but with my girlfriend - she likes it too!)

i dont play AC to race. i just put some nice music on. MY VR headset make it rain and Cruse down the roads. Thats also why i play ETS2 i dont care for trucks but its chill as fuck to just Cruse down the highways with some good music and just enjoy my time.

"ppl dont dig it the same way i do" straight facts

I am upgrading my system this year and sadly I am heading in this same direction. But there are still other great racing games to play and I hope the future i hope.

he'll be back in ac evo

I totally agree with you on the patreon part. The AC community used to be nothing but free, awesome mods to enjoy. Now am i so broke that i can't afford to spend 10 bucks or so a month on a couple patreons? Absolutely not, but why should I have to?! All these steps I have to go through just to play the servers I want to play or not have my game look like absolute dogshit is getting really old. I never watched your videos until this one, but sad to hear you leaving the community, hopefully Assetto Corsa Evo will revive my love for sim driving and yours. (lets not even mention the morons that you're bound to run into when playing a public server nowadays that ruin runs after spending over an hour downloading and fixing mods 😅) Salut my friend!

I took this game real serious about a year ago but after struggling to find real races etc its just as empty as every other sim rn. we need something substantial that isnt a yearly subscription plus 400 dollars in DLC

i have been playing AC for 2 years now or so but never went on an online server so idk about all these problems

dude i will gladly play with you, i aint the best driver but ill take chill drives

Also this is the very first video I saw on you channel :P At the beggining i thought it's gonna be like this: this is my last Assetto Corsa video... because Assetto Corsa Evo is comming soon!!!

I am your 1 thousandth subscriber :)

you really should try beamng with multiplayer its just amazing

I feel like you on most of your points. I work as well, and by the time I can actually play the game it is time to sleep, or I am already tired. It should be a much simpler process to keep it updated with the latest mods. Like pick the mods, server you like…and then have them automatically update. I feel the reason is obviously content creators gotta get paid for the hard work they do, but maybe have some kind of balance where there is one AC mod server that is the best of the best…that the original game developers maintain, and those whom wish to contribute get a pay out based on the number of down loads, along with a rating etc. This way the cream rises to the top, we get the best of the best, and we could finally get content that automatically would update. Cheers to wishful thinking.

I switch over AC and Beamng every now and then. I've had AC for over a year now, I've been playing it in KB in the beginning then bought a wheel for it. Back then, it was all just togue that I did because that's why I played AC in the first place.. However as I got more into motorsports and did karting (recently), I returned from the growing boredom I found in togue through the track. Right now I only race with AI since I'm still learning, but it feels so good getting fast lap times, getting ahead of all them, just like in togue, but less of the narrowness and more on the wideness. Rn I have AC deleted to play valo, but that's how it is. I dont have a lot of space in general so it's always a cycle around beamng, ac and valo. I love AC for what it is, but if there's one thing I learned: Don't keep doing the same thing over and over again. That's why I got beamng, and it was more fun playing them on weekdays and weekends after school.

This issue with mods in AC should be addressed in the next AC: create a modding workshop built-in and be able to download directly from the game.

I don't play AC anymore because well... I'm not a good friend so I don't have any people to drive with and when I do they get sick of me because they think I'm crashing into them on purpose but I'm just a bad driver in reality and besides I've strayed away from joining Online servers even before I stopped playing completely because most people either keep causing massive pile ups or just are way better than me so it isn't fun

My experience with ac is a bit different. I started playing ac back in 2019 where i build my first gaming computer, Then after playing it for 1 year i have an interest to make my own car mods which i did but my first mod wasn't that good it has many flaw and the mod was just a convert from another game Then 5 years later which is now after improving a lot. Thanks to Assetto Corsa Modding Community Now i can make my own Car 3d model from ground up Texture from ground up even car physics from ground up (not perfect but drivable) My mods drive like a Sim Arcade, but that's all i need to make me happy LMAO Skills that i earn from playing and experimenting from this game - Blender 3D Modeling - Gimp Texture Editing/Creating

Thanks for the video. I’ve been sim racing a few months and have heard everyone constantly referencing this game but gameplay footage and or reviews are hard to find. I’d like more tracks and content for GT7. Been burned by the last few games / devs so looking forward to a game with good content and devs that actually fix bugs and add content we want. Too much investment capital hedge fund type people running things. Good luck with irl cars.

I have started on Gran Turismo I struggle to deal with AC and all the mods, mod manager, SOL/ Pure getting all the maps, etc and then getting it to work and actually enjoy the game. I have ACC as well, that is a bit better but still AC at its core. I find myself in GT7 doing my weekly races and sometimes checking out the sport/ online stuff. I liek to get in the simrig and jsut drive and enjoy. The drift stuff I want to learn, but the struggle bus is real, and I'm usually chilling at the bus stop.

Honestly I stopped playing AC before really getting into it. Which to be fair, maybe I didn't get a fair shake, but I stopped for most of the same reasons. The fact that it took me 3 hours to get it set up, and then probably another 5 in total to tweak and get working properly. I'm also a newcomer to sim racing in general and it's just not very user friendly despite being into gaming for decades and being no stranger to tweaking and modifying anything on a PC. I switch to ACC and GT7 and it changed everything for me. And now I'm looking at Rennsport and AC EVO in hopes that they will also be easy to play and don't require much setup as well. (Though Rennsport being in Beta, the VR stuff is a little annoying to get right, but it's STILL easier to play than AC.) So yeah, you aren't alone my dude.

I feel you and have experienced everything you said … but for me I’ll take a break and go play gt7 for a couple months but every now and then the Touge calls for me and gt7 just doesn’t cut it …. I’d say give it a break for a little and check back in a couple months

it will bring you back,assetto always does,just the shear veriety of tracks and cars alone will do it....and then.....evo....😁😁

I agree, some mods are so trash you have to literally spend hours to fix + PURE and CSP causes problems too, error after error, but after 6 hours of fixing everything i'm so annoyed that i close all windows and play next day, and even then play for 2 hours and new error comes up or my graphic settings changes by itself, like filter or pure config. This community grew cancer, don't get me wrong, but alot of scammers took place. I was a modder too, they've stolen my mods and called me out for stealing my own cars back. Which is very funny. Even some biggest names are on the scene who steal alot of content and claim as theirs. I do my own maps and my own drift cars and never release it, just play it for myself. Btw great video!

Car X Drift, Buddy. You are Welcome. We'll Welcome you with Open Arms, and we'll love ya.

just like you, i exit ac, bcs i got 2nd car, which i wanted - e82 123d and sometimes i go on circuit to race or something,...many dudes like you said i knew went off line a start driving real cars,...but now after 3 years i am little bit wordering maybe i will buy again simrig :D

This shit's so relatable haha. The amount of games I've dropped because of mods being out of date and issues caused by updating. Shit's not worth it. Thank God Skyrim has Wildlander or that would be completely dropped too. And for Assetto, I just don't play online anymore and don't worry about updates.

I play AC solo, mainly nordschleife laptimes or sliding some good views maps, but it´s like u said, also besides the Gran Turismo ported cars and 5%modders , the game is meh, a TON of bad car mods, with ps2 sounding engines AND a HUGEINCONSISTENCY of physics , tracks are the same, they are not ready to good materials or shaders or even the change of surfaces, yeah theres an experimental stuff rn but XD , so instead of fixing car materials, handlings, change sounds or whatever on cars that the creator dont care, its easier and healthier to play a game like FH4/5, Gran Turismo or CarX where u can TUNE the car the way what you want and theres no need to learn 3d programs to swap rims XD , nice video man, new sub here

Main reason I dont play AC is the extreme bad graphics (not the cars but complete maps/surroundings, no realistic shadows), even with maxed out csp, mods it looks very old. AMS2 and especially ACC is so much better in graphics

these kinds of issues are what really killed my enjoyment of vr, especially for beatsaber. Its always so annoying.

The practice never stops...

Same issues with flightsims... if you don't regularly maintain your installation, your not able to 'just fire up' the sim and fly..... it requires consistent attention which is difficult attainable in a work/household life....

Assetto Corsa Evo is coming late this year! Maybe give it a try?

Beamng touge is my favourite, i really reccomend you try it if you havnt

just started playing and yeah some of the mods are not the best and twitchy but overall on a good day when everything just works ill sit dow for a few hours and drive and trying to learn to drift in game no ffb wheel just an old thrustmaster red legend but paired with vr its an experience and ive devoted many hours in the last month to just enjoying myself and learning. I'm glad you can look back on this game fondly and not so at the same time but yesa sometimes its just more fun to play other games but there will always be a placeholder for it in your library.

Man… I miss the gaya dudes. I used to wake up early in the morning just to drift the public server with them.

I’ve tried this part of AC before, the drifting and the traffic runs but it get boring sooooo fast. And then I decoy to focus on what the game was meant to do and that’s track racing, then my problems faded, i enjoy the game way more now but i do think that it becomes boring when you do something way too much, like for example driving alone, and then you get to a point where you really don’t know what to do because you have no one to play with. Hopefully you’ll find your true passion in this game eventually, for now enjoy any other game

I still have a good set of friends to play with so AC is still good for me :)

Believe me, my friend. You are not alone. This happened to me two months ago. I have been playing Assetto Corsa for almost three years because I love sim racing, but in my opinion, only Assetto Corsa has a competitive modding and graphics community. I spent a lot of time just fixing errors, installing new mods, tracks, cars, and repeating that process. Additionally, I created a KZfaq channel because I enjoy editing videos and making some cinematic content for AC mod creators. My time enjoying this game has become less and less, with most of my time spent solving problems, creating video scenes/footage, and the extensive editing process. As we get older, we become aware of how much time needs to be considered. That's what's happening to me right now. From 2010-2014, I used to play modded GTA SA & IV, similar to this situation. I played Ragnarok 2 Online for almost four years, and there are many other games I've played. Sometimes, we need time to just enjoy a game for a little while without any problems. Actually, all of this would be solved if I had a PlayStation to play GT7, but that's still beyond my reach. I want to be like those who can enjoy games, but my time has run out for now.🙂

This video is spot on me!!! 🤣🤣🤣💯

*whispers in ear and words slowly fade to nothing* beamNG beamNG beamNG

Yooo, 3 years is a lot, man! I played for like 10 days, maybe. Sorry, I was trying to play for 10 days, but if I played for like 1-2 hours, it was not for fixing something or key bindings. I just gave up with those mods! I'm enjoying Dirt Rally right now.

I just buy my G29 and install AC, first time I try to play with my friends I just don’t play at all, the game do even open the server 😅

Still play but not that frequent and yes still love it. Hoepfully AC Evo is a better version of AC OG

🥺great content man :') try out iRacing :D i always enjoyed car games but i had lost interest in assetto corsa.. it didnt feel as fun as it used to be back then but now i have been enjoying iracing ALOT.

this video introduced me to you

i play this game since 2015, wont stop soon . try getting into Money touge tournaments . that will make u feel alive again. every player pays lets say 10 euro , and winner takes it all . that sht is never boring , and always full of adrenaline .

damn man feel u even tho u leavin best game ever invented i hope i meet u one day on those mountains we like to fly through this errors of yours i thank got never had even after not beeing home for month or so thats so weird for me anyway do what you want but remember there is always one tougeunion server with 1 driver w8ing for someone to join him :DD gl hf

I still play assetto corsa, i've 200h on the game, sometime i'm bored of the game, so sometime i stop play ac for like a month or two, now when i play assetto corsa, i try to improve my drift and try new thing every time i feel like i'm bored of what i do, like sometime i drift on track, sometime touge, sometime i race, sometime i play on traffic, sometime i try some very old and hard to drive car on hard road or track to challenge myself, that's why i still play ac, when i'm bored i do something else in the game, like i feel free in this game, and when i don't want to play i don't play, because if i play even if i don't want i will juste not want to continue, i bought dirt rally 2.0 the full version and it's way harder but it's a good game but at the begening it's better to use low HP car because it's very very hard to play, but playing both game also make that i can do a lot more things and i think play not just one game but a lot of racing game will help to love every racing game by what every have that other don't have

I just went with the Assetto Corsa Evoluzione mod to have a fresh start with AC

can't wait for AC Evo

I am alive still just in case you wonder but i feel the same way i played this game so much that i got sick of it sometimes but very rare i take my wheel and drive but i just get bored and there are so much people just ramming and giving me a bad mood. Since i feel that way about ac i just cant watch videos about it but that one catched me in an emotional way cause we feel the same way about it. I hope that things will change in a good way but as always the only thing i can do is hope in this scenario. For me the game was a place to chill and have fun but it doesent do the job anymore.

Try beamng, much more realistic, and much more fun, constant updates, multiplayer and even WIP career mode!

What's the music for the intro? Nice video btw, too bad that this is my last AC I'll even see on your channel.

I'm new to AC. Despite playing on keyboard, I've been having alot of fun on it. I mostly play on touge maps with a Re Amemiya RX-7. But yeah, you do make some good points. I have to agree that paying a guy's patreon just to change the weather is really annoying. My favorite thing about AC is the realism and the modding community. I love how can I drive Keisuke's FD on my favorite touge, and then I have to deal with throttle control (and much more).

I suggest trying Beamng drive if you haven't tried it yet, it's a hell of a breath of fresh air for me with it's sandbox nature but also it's racing potentionaI. Sad to see you go though!

Thats always the problem with modding...other sims with out modding are always good to go, but yeah I understand, there are not the cool JDM cars and Tracks...

assetto corsa evo is coming out this year, and i'm excited af, goodbye to ac from my part too

well the reason I stopped playing AC its mostly because I had no real competition :\ in servers there some people that just have more experience and faster by 1-3 seconds than you or people that crash in T1 so I was basically driving alone Im not a touge drive I prefer GT series like GT3 GT4 , so yeah I just started to do ACC and then I started iracing... Why? well because iracing still the most realistic simulator with overall good balanced lobbies and there I can race and learn from it not just drive alone on the track like I did on AC , my goal is to become pro driver doesnt matter where sim or irl so AC isnt about it , its a great sim to start you way to choose type of racing you like because its cheap , but then you anyway will buy iracing :\ new weather system is the best on the market. Also expect drivers to be super selfish because of irating that like a d&ck size in the community
