Assetto Corsa Competizione Hotfix 1.6.3 Released

Kunos Simulazioni have produced another update for their GT World Challenge simulation with Assetto Corsa Competizione Hotfix 1.6.3 released.

It’s particularly good news if you prefer single player for your virtual motorsport as the main gameplay improvements all focus on the AI opponents, whether that’s how they handle with traffic and lapped cars, or recover from spinning to avoid blocking the track completely.

The hotfix also reduces the chance of ‘excessive exhaust flame’ from the Porsche Cup car, so it should be less worrying if you’re following closely behind. Although who doesn’t enjoy crackles, bangs and flames on the overrun as you’re coming into a corner?

The update applies to the PC edition of Assetto Corsa Competizione, as the console versions are on a different release schedule. Fortunately a PS4 and Xbox One update was released recently, alongside Hotfix 1.6.2.

Assetto Corsa Competizione Hotfix 1.6.3 Change Notes:

GRAPHICS:

• Fixed excessive exhaust flame probability of the Porsche Cup car.
