Assetto Corsa Competizione Update 1.8 Release Notes PC

  • Added Nvidia Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) 2.0 support for compatible GPUs (RTX 20XX series or newer). Please check manufacturer GPU driver requirements.
  • Added AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) support for all GPUs. Please check manufacturer GPU driver requirements. NOTE: both DLSS and FSR are selectable and functional in Triple Screen and VR rendering modes. NOTE: DLSS is a temporal sampling method with a proprietary antialiasing solution, while FSR is a spatial upscaling method that can be used in combination with other Temporal AA solutions. NOTE: please read the ingame help texts in the Video Options to learn more about the functionality of each method’s respective sampling, antialiasing and sharpening solutions. NOTE: DLSS implementation includes a custom DLSS dll version by Nvidia, manually updating to generic version releases might result in regression of image quality.
  • Added Temporal Antialising Gen5 option support. Offers improved aliasing and clarity at a moderate performance cost. Optional over the existing TAAgen4 and KTAA implementations. NOTE: only functional with Temporal anti-aliasing mode selected. NOTE: FSR is incompatible with the Projection Correction view setting feature. NOTE: it is STRONGLY suggested to remove other open-source or third-party implementations of any of the features above (such as via OpenVR etc.)! NOTE: due to the large number of changes in rendering, it is STRONGLY suggested that custom engine.ini or third-party shader modifications be removed for this update!
  • Added the new rendering mode settings to save with Video Settings presets.
  • Fixed a limitation with Triple Screen rendering that did not allow Temporal Upsampling to be used in combination with it.
  • Updated global lighting and exposure on all tracks to follow Unreal Engine version changes.
  • Updated visual tonemapper presets to follow Unreal Engine version changes. NOTE: the updated tonemapper settings might produce slightly more saturation and contrast than in earlier versions, adjust per taste.

  • Revision of various car-related shaders to follow Unreal Engine version rendering changes.
  • Skybox revision to suit Unreal Engine version rendering changes.
  • Optimized light emitters at Nurburgring for improved performance.
  • Reduced bezel gap artefacting appearing along the bezel lines in Triple Screen rendering mode.
  • Reduced SSAO and SSR artefacting around the bezel line in Triple Screen rendering mode.
  • Updated TV, cinematic and free cameras to use the new Unreal Engine cameras with improved DOF effects. NOTE: this is a global change, old cameras are deprecated.
  • Updated CinemaHUD to use the new and improved DOF effects.
  • Improved blurred wheel rim shader.
