Something is seriously wrong here.

TDLR: I cannot get this game to work at all. Anyone have any ideas?

I am not saying the framerate is choppy, I mean I just cannot get it to work *at all*.
My specs may be a bit old by now (i7, 32 gigs ram, 2060) but I can run every other game I have (it's a lot!) on my rig (even if I have to lower the settings on some). This is what happens here.

Takes about 5 minutes to get past the loading screen.
Once there each option button takes around 15 seconds to highlight (turn red), then around 2 minutes to activate. As things looked so bad, I was trying to get to the options and dial it down to the lowest settings and work from there. This took 20 minutes, and I am not even sure if anything actually changed. Now a menu screen should work even on the first day of EA, surely?
Another quarter of an hour and I got into the race menus (I did not change anything there - it was getting real late - just stayed with the default track, car, etc).
When I actually got into the race (another quarter of an hour), the framerate was *the* worst I have ever seen in any game ever. It was not even a flipbook. It was more like a single static image, 5-10 second pause, then the next static image, wash and repeat.
I could not even get out of the game without Alt-tabbing.
90% of my recorded 'playtime' was spend just trying to press buttons on the menu. 10% watching static images of a car on a track.

I am sure a respected developer would not put a game out in this state, also, I have watched the Youtube videos of others playing. Yet I cannot get it to work *at all*. Anyone have any ideas why this is, or offer any solutions?

if you can try turning your desktop resolution down and starting the game then you can try getting into the video settings menu and turning everything down to very low or something.

I dont think this is typical though it should still start up

You also didnt specify your i7

It works good for me on a i5 13600k and rx6800 32gb ddr4

still i get like 2-3x less fps than ACC

Dont be affraid to running very low settings as even like the medium preset has more shadows and lighting going on than say epic on ACC

Also you will probably have to run balanced or performance on FSR or DLSS

You can try setting the game up to run as administrator and disable full screen optimization
in steam browse local files for AC evo right click goto properties compatability tab check the boxes that say run as administrator and disable full screen optimization..
I forgot to mention you right click on the AssettoCorsaEvo.exe .


Google if that is not clear enough instructions lol maybe it will help I feel like it did but not by a lot.

Hello there, this is an issue we're aware of and are investigating, however, we have some potential workarounds that might work for you, They're a bit hit and miss with success so let me know if any of these work for you:

Game not launching
A few things you can try for this.

1. Close Steam, go to your documents folder and delete the ACE folder, then launch Steam and then launch Assetto Corsa EVO.

(You may need to disable OneDrive if you have it enabled whilst you carry out the test)

2. Repair Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x64 & x86 versions via the official installer, and then reboot. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022

3. Check that the AssettoCorsaEVO application in the Steam Apps directory is whitelisted on your firewalls and antivirus applications.

4. Open Controlled Folder Access through file manager or through a windows search. It should be under the Virus & threat protection section of Windows Defender. Click on the section that says “Allow an app through Controlled Folder Access” you then have to press “Add an allowed app” after pressing this choose the “Recently blocked apps” option and find ACE (Asseto Corsa EVO) it should be under that name or something similar.

Thanks for the reply. I tried a couple of the fixes to no avail. I am not as tenacious as some (thousands) of users on here. It's not like I do not have other (working) racing sims to play (like AC1 ACC!). I will wait for a fix. As trusted developers, I am sure you guys will work on this, as it is clear that I am by far not the only person suffering these errors, and you will want to minimise damage as soon as possible (you will not want a 'Solar Crown' on your hands).

I am sorry if I sound negative, as I know you will fix it, and I understand what the term 'early access' means. However, I really do think that the game should have been fully tested, obvious issues resolved, and the game at least *working* before charging hard cash for that access (or in many people's experience non-access).
