Please read carefully this post and act accordingly for bug reporting
When you start a thread at the title there's a pull down menu with some possible prefixes, here's how to use them:

[SUGGESTION] short description
Use the above prefix for your suggestions. You can use it ONLY in the "General Support - Feedbacks - Suggestions" forum. Don't discuss about suggestions in other subforums.

[CRITICAL] short description
Use the above title ONLY when you have a critical problem. A showstopper. That means that without solving this you can't play Assetto Corsa. That includes crashes that don't let you play, a controls configuration problems, inability to install, UI doesn't work etc etc... Put in the description as much information as possible in order to reproduce the problem. Screenshots and short videos always well accepted. When you choose to upload a crash report and log files from inside the UI, it automatically saves a bug ID number in your memory. Post in the forums and simply do a paste in your post so we can connect it to the bug you've send us. Makes our lives easier.

[BUG] short description
Use the above title when you notice whatever problem you think it's not a feature (lol). Graphical problems, flickering, stuttering, errors on UI navigation, ecc ecc. Anything that permits you to play but still annoys you. Put in the description as much information as possible in order to reproduce the problem. Screenshots and short videos always well accepted. Keep in hand your log files we might ask you to post them after we have checked the problem.

[ISSUE] short description
Use the above title when you have something to notify, relative to ACC. Something you're not sure how it works, or if it works as intended. The discussion might grow up and you never know what might happen.

[WORKAROUND] short description
If you know how to bypass an issue until devs fix it, use this prefix and explain how to solve using a workaround.

Important Notes:
  • We will modify your thread title prefix in [FIXED], [WORKING ON IT], [AS DESIGNED] or whatever we decide to do with the information you gave us and we will post in the thread.
  • Always check to see if someone else has posted the same issue. If so, please add your description on his thread. Moderators will merge threads if needed.
  • Keep calm and drive on. If a dev is not replying on your thread then it means that a) is busy with another bug, b) your bug has not a priority, c) decided to ignore it for the time being d) has forgotten, contact the admin via PM if needed, but don't make multiples "UP" on your thread as it will make a mess to the order of the forum.
Do not use a prefix for everything else.
Most importantly, keep it simple :)
Thank you

ASSETTO CORSA Dedicated Server manual

How to setup a dedicated server

Be aware that the following steps must be followed whenever Assetto Corsa is updated by Steam.

1) Go to your AC installation folder (Steam -> Assetto Corsa -> properties -> local files -> browse local files)
2) Open acServerManager.exe (latest version can be found in your Steam folder\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\server)
3) Click on Update Server Content
4) If your server is running on remote PC, upload the entire "server" folder. Remember to backup the three files listed in the section below: in this case just check for new settings in the new files and add them to your old ones.

If you want, you can also run acServerManager.exe with "/pack /nomsg" as arguments to have the same result of points 2 and 3 with no window.

If you are kicked from the server because of a mismatch (car or track) you need to update your game OR probably the server is not updated with the latest content.

How to create and start an online session

!!! ALERT !!!
Please be aware that, in order to have a good online experience, AC requires that you have a good quality connection (both ping and stability). So, please, do not play online while your connection is under stress (torrent, Windows updates, shared connections) and,
most importantly, do not run servers using extreme configurations. This means that if your connection has a low upload bandwidth, you should not run a server with 24 slots.

Please have a look at the acServerManager tool to have an idea about your approximate bandwidth usage.

The server will read the following two configuration files:

Add the blacklist file which stores the client's Steam GUID who will not be allowed on the server:

These files can be generated and managed by the "acServerManager.exe" application located in your Assetto Corsa/server folder, or can be manually managed by you using a text editor such as Windows' notepad.

To start the server you need to run the acServer.exe (watch out for the server message in case of errors)
We suggest you run the acServer.bat batch that will dump the log of the server directly into the exe's folder under an unique name (timestamp). Be aware that when starting the batch file, an empty black CMD window will appear on the screen: it is normal as the server will write the messages in the file. These files are useful for storing online session's data (client's GUID, etc) and enable the staff to support you in case of any issues.

[BOOK]                     ; booking session - add this section only if your server is in booking mode

BASE_TEMPERATURE_AMBIENT=18 ; temperature of the Ambient
VARIATION_AMBIENT=2        ; variation of the ambient's temperature. In this example final ambient's temperature can be 16 or 20
BASE_TEMPERATURE_ROAD=6    ; Relative road temperature: this value will be added to the final ambient temp. In this example the road temperature will be between 22 (16 + 6) and 26 (20 + 6). It can be negative.
VARIATION_ROAD=1           ; variation of the road's temperature. Like the ambient one.

; Be aware the session wind is static for all its duration; speed and direction is random related to the values below

WIND_BASE_SPEED_MIN=3     ; Min speed of the session possible
WIND_BASE_SPEED_MAX=15     ; Max speed of session possible (max 40)
WIND_BASE_DIRECTION=30      ; base direction of the wind (wind is pointing at); 0 = North, 90 = East etc
WIND_VARIATION_DIRECTION=15   ; variation (+ or -) of the base direction

; so in this example the then wind speed can be between 3 and 15 and direction between 15 and 45

An entire section ([BOOK],[PRACTICE], etc ) can be removed: for example, if you want a race without a practice session.

You can add other WEATHER sections (WEATHER_1, WEATHER_2 etc), and each new session will be randomly selected from these.
For road temperatures relative to ambient temperature, weather and time of the day, please check the acServerManager tool.

Mandatory Pit : a pit window can be added to the race session. As a design choice, players need to cross the pitentry line and stop at their pit box within the pit window to have a valid pit stop. Players may make additional pit stops before and after the pit window, but only making a mandatory stop in the indicated pit window will validate their race. Server admins must decide on a pit window that allows all players to comfortably make a pit stop under normal racing conditions.


This will be improved in the next update.

[CAR_0]                    ; car index -> from 0 to XXX
DRIVERNAME=                ; Driver name that will appear on the lobby
TEAM=                      ; Team of driver
MODEL=                     ; car model - that's exactly the car folder's name (into the "content/cars" folder)
SKIN=                      ; car skin -  that's exactly the skin folder's name (into the "content/cars/MODEL/skins" folder)
GUID=                      ; STEAM64 GUID
SPECTATOR_MODE=            ; leave it to 0
BALLAST=0                  ; how many kg of ballast to be added to this car. Excessive ballast can severely affect handling and car behaviour!

RESTRICTOR=0      ; from 0 to 100, cuts the car's engine power. 100=100% restrictor plate. It limits power in the top range of the power band, will not kill total power. Effective handicap depends on car and track, experimentation needed. Advantage over BALLAST is that it does not affect handling. 0=no restrictor plate, maintains original power.

FIXED_SETUP=               ; if the line is there but empty, the server will search a defined "MODELNAME.ini" (for example "bmw_m3_e30.ini") into the "setups" folder. Otherwise you can insert a setup name in as value ("setupname.ini")
Your STEAM64 GUID can be found in your "documents/assetto corsa/logs/log.txt" just after you have run a driving session in AC.
Steam Community ID:76561197983XXXXXX
The setups can be only partially fixed: the user can remove sections or keys from the ini file to make those part "customizable". Everything that is part of the file will be locked in the clients.
So if you want a fixed setup with free fuel quantity then the "[FUEL]VALUE=XXX " must be removed.

Example for a server in pickup mode
You need to insert at least a number of cars sections equal to the MAX_CLIENTS value or higher than that. So if the server is allowing 10, cars then the entry list must have cars from [CAR_0] to [CAR_9] at least.
MODEL=ferrari_458_gt2       ; this MUST BE one of the car allowed in the "server_cfg.ini"
SKIN=black_matte            ; car skin -  that's exactly the skin folder's name (into the "content/cars/ferrari_458_gt2/skins" folder)
Server administration mainly works through the server chat. It is MANDATORY to set the "ADMIN_PASSWORD" in the server_cfg.ini file.
/help: prints the list of the available commands
/next_session: moves to next session
/ksns: moves to next session
/restart_session: restart the session
/ksrs: restart the session
/client_list: shows the full car list by CAR_ID : "PlayerName"
/kick_id: kick the user who occuping CAR_ID. To kick a player named "The Player" who's occuping CAR_15: /kick_id 15
/ballast: add weight to the CAR_ID. To add 200 kg to the CAR_15: /ballast 15 200
/restrictor: cut engine power to the CAR_ID. To add 50% restrictor to the CAR_15:  /restrictor 15 50
/ban_id: ban the user who occuping CAR_ID. To ban a player named "The Player" who's occuping CAR_15: /ban_id 15

Shared GUID: each car in the entry list can feature multiple GUIDs, sperated by a ';' . Players can share that car (one at once). The name inserted in the entry list is used as driver name.


This can also be used as partial driver swap and it's the 1st step to a more complete functionality: in fact setup will not be shared (can be solved using server fixed setup system), the new player will have a brand new car and mandatory pit will not work (yet).

Multiple servers on the same PC

To run more than a server at the same time on the same PC, remember that you have to use different ports for each one, and it is advised to run different executables (acServer for the first server, acServer2 for the second one and so on, or create another server folder somewhere)
If you want to use this feature on the acseservermanager, it is mandatory to fill the Server Path field with the new .exe path.
