Downshifting CM problem
I can downshift normally when using the normal launcher but when i use CM the game don't let me downshift "fast" even if the car is REALLY slow. Even when i'm almost static after a crash, set the car to 'R' takes many seconds sometimes.
I don't use/have clutch pedal and i use shift up/down buttons. Using a button as clutch didn't fix the problem.
Again, when using normal launcher i don't have this problem so it must be a CM setting but i didn't found. Any clues?
Ty :D

Its weird that starting from kunos launcher is different to CM, they both write to and use same config files... And even when starting from kunos it still uses CSP. So there should be no difference.

I would start by checking gearshift debounce setting (lower = faster). And then the assists.

Are you sure you used same car when testing both launchers? Which car was it. Becaue different sequential cars can shift at different speeds, and some have limitations of not allowing the R or even N to be selected before the car is stopped.

When i launch the game from normal launcher i got no CSP, it's pretty much the original game. I'm on Linux btw.
I'm sure it's a thing CM does. I did several tests today to confirm and i can downshift just fine when playing without CM. And no, i'm not trying any crazy shifting, like i said, even with the car really slow the game blocks me from reduce gears. But if i press the button several times
it starts to downshifting and i can even go to first gear when driving fast. It's weird, but it does look like a assist thing.
Does CM adds any extra assist to the game?

Thats a linux thing then, CSP is part of the game itself, launchers are separate, does not matter which you use CSP should run if it was enabled.

To be more specific, the CSP is that "dwrite.dll" file which on windows is loaded automatically by the system that thinks its a graphics driver, while internally its the whole patch. On linux this probably does not happen, so CM is required to load it.

Havent tried AC on linux yet, but likely your controller could be initiallized differently depending on launcher used as well. Which probably is the issue here.


ps: CM/CSP does not change shifting or assists in any way, at best there are some gamepad specific things added on top but thats for steering/throttle/brakes.

I just removed CSP and now shifting is working fine. So i think it's a CSP config, a physics stuff maybe, idk :/

Running from CM but with CSP disabled?
That would be very odd, definitely something linux related, you could try older CSP versions as well (say 1.66 or 1.7x). Possibly some other feature in CSP brakes and lags CPU/IO which then mess with shifting.

It was my downshift bind key(ALT) causing he issue..changed and now it's normal. xD
Ty for the help.
Now working 100% on linux with CSP (0.2.0), will try SOL later.
