Racers, Sam here from 505 Games and Community Manager of Assetto Corsa. On February 22nd we released Assetto Corsa Competizione on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and since the launch, we have had the chance to look over how the game is performing and your experience. Having had the chance to analyze the situation, we wanted to take this chance to give you an update on what we are working on behind the scenes with the next-generation version of ACC.
Firstly, we want to apologize to those players who have encountered issues after downloading the game or upgrading from a previous generation console. The main issues we’ve noticed you’re experiencing center around the game crashing in the menus on the PlayStation 5, certain wheels not working as expected, as well as saves and stats not moving to the new game.
The development team is working non-stop to fix the issues reported by our community and to improve your experience. As I’m sure you’ll understand, these fixes do take some time but we are working incredibly hard to ensure that you can be out on track, issue free as soon as possible. The focus is on issues affecting controls, stability, and multiplayer; We are also looking to fix the other bugs that you have encountered and have been sent to us as well as what we’ve seen from everyone streaming the game so far.
As a team that believes in full transparency, we want to give you a full rundown of the issues that we are addressing and working on as a priority:
Incoming Fixes:
- Prioritising wheel-base performance: An issue affecting Logitech additional inputs / modifying the FFB on Thrustmaster wheels and making the FFB on Fanatec CSL Elite and DD wheels stronger.
- Alongside the force feedback fixes there’s a fix that allows the wheel triggers to be bindable in the options menu (LT/RT and L2/R2)
- Some players found that their previous stats and rankings have not been transferred to the new game, this is being addressed.
- Trophies/Achievements currently are not performing as expected the team will roll out a fix for this issue very soon.
- Private Lobbies have also been looked at by the team as some players were struggling with connection, this has now been altered to allow for improved connection management.
- PlayStation users are experiencing in-game crashes upon launch, and this is something the team is working on fixing as a priority.
- Alongside stats and rankings, some players have found that game saves haven’t moved across to the new version of the game. We understand not having your progress is frustrating and this is also being looked at by the team.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, so if you come across any further issues, please report them here and our team will investigate.

It should go without saying; any trolling/harassment/insults aimed at our staff, partners, and other players will not be tolerated. Please respect one another, always!
