Alongside the DLC pack, a new version of Assetto Corsa has been released as well, bringing some new features to the title:
New In Version 1.4
Graphics
Several features related to post processing effects have been refined, including the FXAA filter, that has been significantly improved using Kunos’ own shader engine. The new build also introduces a new reflection rendering system: these features result in a substantial improvement in the look of the cars. The HDR algorithm now matches real life photographic references, resulting in an even more natural lighting environment and reflections.Build 1.4 introduces a new font-rendering system for dashboards, resulting in improved graphics and higher definition. In addition, the digital instruments have been updated for all available cars, while the exaggerated motion blur effect in some camera modes has been eliminated.
Artificial intelligence
The new build introduces a new algorithm to improve the ability for AI drivers to stick to an intended racing line, resulting in better behaviour during door-to-door racing. Furthermore, the code related to the braking algorithm is now able to understand and use locked inside tyres for front-wheel drive cars.Multiplayer
The antilag/antiwarp system has been vastly improved, featuring a new netcode prediction algorithm that is now used to handle missing packets that used to generate warps and lags, bringing about a more stable and consistent online experience.Audio
Since the first Dream Pack, we have also put a lot of effort into audio, especially in the exterior sound department. Dream Pack 3 is no exception, with each car having its distinctive note, from the mighty little 500 Assetto Corse to the screaming DFV V8 engine of the legendary Lotus 72d. Furthermore, “old” cars are also undergoing a sound revamp: the 1.4 update will bring you new exterior sounds for the BMW M3 e30 DTM/Group A.
