Patch 1.3.1 — Realistic Climate System
Patch 1.3.1: Realistic Climate System brings deeper immersion to Assetto Corsa Competizione, making weather a true competitor on the track. Mist, heat, and sudden storms now reshape every race, demanding sharper focus and stronger adaptability.
Dynamic Weather Evolution
Fog rolls across circuits with authentic density, reducing visibility in unpredictable ways. Rain now arrives in varied intensity — from light drizzle to heavy downpours — creating changing grip levels and unpredictable braking zones. Heat waves alter tire wear, forcing teams to rethink strategy.
Grip & Tire Management
Every shift in climate directly affects performance. Tires heat faster under the sun, lose traction during heavy showers, and cool unevenly at night. Drivers must balance aggression with endurance, learning to anticipate surface changes corner by corner.
Car Handling Refinements
Physics adjustments ensure that suspension, aerodynamics, and braking systems react realistically to evolving conditions. Aquaplaning, tire degradation, and surface cooling are all modeled with greater precision, creating unique challenges across sessions.
Optimized Performance
Despite added realism, the update improves overall stability. Weather transitions, reflections, and particle effects have been tuned for smooth framerates, keeping the racing flow uninterrupted on a wide range of devices.
"The track is alive. Sun, rain, and mist are no longer visual backdrops — they are rivals that test every driver." — Assetto Corsa Competizione Dev Team
Additional Fixes
● Improved pit stop behavior during unexpected weather changes.
● Adjusted tire temperature HUD for clearer feedback.
● Fixed rare desynchronization of cloud shadows.
● Enhanced lighting transitions during sunset storms.
● Balanced rain spray effects for cockpit and replay cameras.
Looking Ahead
With the climate system refined, development shifts toward new endurance events, extended multiplayer formats, and additional international circuits. Community feedback remains the cornerstone of every step forward.
