Split Screen ?

[Solide]

Hi,

Just wondering if any of you had ever heard of split screen being implemented in AC.

I've been playing car games like dirt3 or Grid 2 with friends on a big screen with a projector since ... I bought a projector ... and I can tell that it's just awesome.

But now we have tested AC, it's hard to go back to the others for many reasons I don't need/want to explain here. I know multiplayer has yet to be implemented and that split screen may not be the first expected thing, but still, I'd like to know if it's something planned or not.

Thanks !

I don't think so, the computer running two player-controlled vehicles with all the physics and whatnot, you'd need a pretty good CPU, and you'd probably need the computer to be running two wheels/pedals/shifters at the same time if you want the full experience.

That's a pretty interesting question I don't believe anything has been released with details about local offline multiplayer. I think the assumption has been the whole time multiplayer will consist of some combination online server, at least that's what I suspect.

I'd be interesting to hear what the Devs think.

One thing about hardware, you could have two controllers plugged in, I'm not sure if windows and the game will support two wheel/pedal combos, maybe one of each or different brands possibly. For example I don't think the logitech profile software supports two wheels plugged in at the same time.

For computer strengh, I don't see that as an issue. I've been playing Grid2 and Dirt3 flowlessly with a good config but not THE config.

I7965 from bought in 2008
6 gigs of DDR3 1600
1 GTX680 bought last year

This kind of computer is now the average one compared to what you find on the market.

Dirt 3 supports 2 wheels, you see that here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sEwPFCznpU (the guy also used eyefinity split which is genius).

We only played on split screen with one T500RS and a 360 controler but I'll get the chance to test a G27 + t500 tomorrow.

so different brand wheels should work or are those both logitechs? What model is on the right?

[Solide]

Can't tell for the right one. But yes, different brand should work without any problem. I'll test tomorrow on both grid2 and dirt3, they delayed the G27 delivery :(

Anyway, that doesn't answer the first question, will they ever implement split screen in AC :D ??

Tried both games with T500rs+shifter and G27 + shifter in split screen.

Working like a charm on a single USB2 HUB and a 10m USB wire (computer is in another room).

So Assetto Corsa must get this feature implemented :D

Ho.. too bad :'( :(

Thanks for pointing me to this thread !
