This has changed now. You only need to go to the custom shaders patch setting in content manager and content manager will download and install the shader patch for you.
Just follow the official guide to the SOL and Shaders installation as recommended by the creator. It's a short read and very easy trouble free :) www.racedepartment.com/downloads/sol.24914/
Thanks so much for this. I kept hearing about SOL the last few weeks and I finally decided to go through the arduous task of installing and configuring it....then I decided to look on RUclips and you made it about a 10 minute, painless affair. Fantastic video, to the point...really well done. And I was shocked at how well it works in VR. I expected it to be a bit bloaty and drop my frame rate, but I did a few tweaks (and to be honest I needed to do some work on my previous settings) and I am getting 90fps almost constantly. Anyone who is on the fence about this mod....it really is a game changer. I drove Transfagaria (I know that is probably wrong) with the time at about 20X and starting at about 8PM. It was the most immersive and honestly sweaty driving I've ever done in a game. About 5 hours later I still wanted to do more. I didn't realize just how much the light effects would add to the realism of the game when you are focused on driving. I was wrong.
Just a heads up! If you're updating to Sol 1.1 you need the get the latest Shaders Patch preview 63 or later (currently 74). or else you get the black sky glitch.
Honestly your the man @highness👍👍 always well explained in your videos. Assetto corsa in vr is like a new game also seem to be able to get better graphics and reflections without loss of fps. Keep up the good work man 👍
Brother, it has just created a whole new game! Amazing! Awesome! Don't forget to use BLM lights. The real mirror settings are another step up for the game.
These how to videos are great, thanks! Would like to see more tips & tricks for Content Manager and Shaders Patch. Would also like to see how to for optimizing VR (Oculus for me).
@bbcoltrane ahah! A step by step workflow to get a graphic setting optimised for VR is currently in production. I'll add Tips & tricks for Content Manager and Shaders Patch to the suggestions discord.gg/ubC9YJr
The only problem I ever had was the time multiplier not working in saved replays - and just like that, fixed with the latest of sol and the shader! Great instructions as always my friend! edit: maybe spoke to soon... now the sun rises in saved replays but the clouds are at a standstill. With the time multiplier fixed, I'll take it!
@CreamyCornCob, thanks for sharing your findings. I wonder if the clouds at a standstill is due to weatherfx not being triggered. Eg. If you created a race session that is Thunderstorm with high speed wind and then observed a saved replay, will the weather load with Thunderstorm with high speed wind?
@@Highness Yup thats exactly what I had, thunderstorm and wind like at 30mph. Clouds float on by, but not in the saved replay. So the time multiplier was fixed on my end from installing latest shader and sol by your instructions, but the clouds are at a stand still in saved replay (in session replay, clouds do move). Sooo odd.
*Update: Make sure to enabled Light Shader Patch in your mods list* * Go to Content/Mods/All (or use JSGME mods manager) * Make sure Sol is enabled and appears in the Installed mods list During my installation the Light Shader Patch was automatically enabled. It looks like for some this must be manually enabled otherwise you'll get crash and error warnings.
I never saw the light shaders patch on the available list to activate. I did see Sol, and when I activated it it seems to have automatically activated the shaders patch. HOWEVER, I have no Rain, Debug or Mirrors checkboxes available to activate :(
Nice straight forward vid, thank you. I have a request. Can you please show us how you get/got the aerial view? and in particular, how you're recording scenes (on the track) from various angles during replay. Cheers
Cheers @Dujon I wrote up a text guide www.reddit.com/r/assettocorsa/comments/anbgjt/how_to_enable_free_camera_mouse_look_in_assetto/ Let me know if this makes sense.
Great vid and great idea for a series. I still have people that struggle installing my AC season track packs - I could do with a vid like this for those! ;) Deem
Highness sure - I’ve created seasonal skins (summer autumn and winter so far) in packs. Most of the kunos tracks and a few mod tracks. You can be a bit more detailed with skins rather than the seasons used by WeatherFx. Particularly things like bare winter trees. Have a look. Cheers D www.racedepartment.com/downloads/deems-winter-track-pack.24573/
Highness ha, yes im the author of the deems packs on RD, but the Nords and Monza you’re probably talking about aren’t mine as my Nords and Monza are in packs that contain lots of other tracks too. 👍 I have about 50 all together spread over 4 packs.
What’s the best version of Custom Shader Patch to be using right now? I’m on version 0.1.30 but it’s already up to version 0.1.36. Which is the best? When I update to another version should I disable SOL? Thanks buddy. This is a great video.
The best version of CSP is the one that doesn't break the system. It's a bit of a trial and error situation. There's no need to disable Sol when switching CSP versions.
Its higly informative and easy to understand video, THANKS A LOT. One additional feedback about process, maybe this help people who has lite version CM like me. 1-) I have lite version of CM, so maybe beacause of this i was able to install both SOL and Shaders Patch by using "JSGME" . 2-) After first step everything was the same about your video ( from 4:25 to the end ). By the way how could i zoom out like you did at the end of the video? Thanks...
So there's no need to go back to the Mods tab and enable the updated mods? I have nothing listed under installed. It worked though. Did a full day to night to day cycle. Love your vids and thanks for all you do.
Wondering why under my "settings, assetto corsa, apps" menu, none of the apps are showing. Cannot perform actions at 5:17 in video... any help will be much appreciated!!
Hmmm. The debug and mirrors patches did not show for me until I went back and manually enabled the Light Shader patch (where it gets listed below SOL). Should that have been in the instructions? It gave a warning that Sol had already updated the python and ui json files before I enabled it. Only then could I follow all your instructions. I guess I can re-enable my rain app, eh? Thanks.
Hi @Mr. F, that's interesting. Light Shader Patch was automatically enabled for me during my installation. I will update the text version of this instruction.
Hey Highness, thanks for this very helpful update video. So I do a thing every now & then called the "Sim Racing Channel of the Month". And given I want to do a video on my newly purchased Content Manager (& therefore SOL) related to a racing scenario, not a tutorial - I wanted to ask you if you minded if I plugged your Channel for this month as well. But to be honest, Peter - you absolutely don't need it, as I am sure you will fly past me to 1,000 subs in no time at all. But I would like to do it anyway, and just wanted to ask your permission first - just in case you didn't want me to for any personal reason...………………………………. So what do you think?
I'm honored and grateful that you've considered this channel and I'm all for our community supporting each other, rising tide lifts all boats. Highness is all about elevating the experience of our sim racing community. ruclips.net/channel/UCb9yJYAgB8_8cJXwKXekLpQabout?disable_polymer=1 This won't work if it becomes a race to overtake and be in front. Rather that we support each other to get over the finish line although it's more about the journey than the finish, right? As long as we share the similar values and vision then, yeah, let's chat 😀
Late reply but I installed it, triple checked that all settings are correct.. when I start a race the sky is simply clear blue, no matter which weather type I select. Any idea what could be wrong?
You already have Shaders light Patch in your mods section, I have a clean install, and a new CM... however I dont have any mods installed so I cannot right click shaders light patch to explore... cause it's just not there.... any help?
Awesome video for updating SOL. But when in VR, my screens goes black, when the night enters darkness? Any tips? When going in a live stream, it ends up in black without any view. :(
Just follow the official guide to the SOL and Shaders installation as recommended by the creator. It's a short read and very easy trouble free :) www.racedepartment.com/downloads/sol.24914/
i tried eveything but still cant install sol and shaders correctly.do i manually install sol and shaders in ac root ? or just drag and drop into cm .ive got the full version of CM.in Cm is completely empty in content and mods section .so where do i start if its completely empty ..what do i do first
Thanks for the guide, I have an issue where I cannot enable the SOL app and the Light Shader Patch at the same time, I get a warning. If I enable one then it is fine? Both together enabled I get this warning and only one works? So for instance I cant have SOL and rain at the same time.
+Alfa Gunner do you have Shaders Patch in your Mods folder? If so then just disable the Shaders Patch that's in your mods folder and check that everything works. This particular version of Shaders gets installed into the root folder of AC. Please let me know your results. I'm going to catch some 😴 so be up in a few hours.
@Ricardo, you're welcome. I wrote up a text guide www.reddit.com/r/assettocorsa/comments/anbgjt/how_to_enable_free_camera_mouse_look_in_assetto/ Let me know if this makes sense.
I don't know why but I get psychedelic colors when I cycle through the environments. I can only use a few like the rainy ones. I also don't get head lights on the track. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the updated install.
Thanks for the tutorial, SOL is working brilliantly now, however when I try to re-enable some of my old mods, it gives me an error mnessage saying adding it could have adverse effects. What should I do?
@@Highness It's all good, I ended up just dragging and dropping all of mods in my mods folder directly into CM. Now theyre working like a charm. Thanks for the quick reply
trying to do this myself, followed the instructions to install and content manager reckons that they're active but when I look at filters there's no _Sol option and everything past that in the video is missing...
Open the zip file of sol or shaders patch; i dont remember which one. Find the one with system, extensions and content i think, put those folders in your assetto corsa root folder, overwrite current files. That should do it. i’ll check which folders exactly in a few minutes
my shaders dont show up as a mod. in content /mods. also the shaders dont show up in settings assetto corsa/ apps/ activated apps. only sol shows up. solconfig and sol weather map. ive noticed on other vids peoples shaders show up but they dont for me. ? any ideas why. i am using sol 1.2.3
Quick question.... I installed the sol mod and works perfect but when I go online and turn off PP effects it makes everything really really bright. Is that normal? Because before I installed it and went online without PP it was fine. Btw I am using the rift. Thank you
Ahah, no need to turn off PP for online. I'm literally producing a guide for optimal settings for Oculus Rift. I expect to upload this in the next 24 hours.
In what sequence must the mods be enabled as they seem to overwrite some of the files that belong to the other mods in CM? E.G Shader patch first, then sol, then wet mod etc?
Hey @Graham, good question. First Sol, then Wed Mod. You may not need to enable Shader Patch (depending on the version you've installed) because in the latest beta Shader Patch is installed in the main AC folder. Let me know how you go.
Little bit odd. I dont have a dwrite.dll, all i have is a DWrite text file (.log file). Also: Did everything like you said in the video, but on the App section i cant find Shaders extension debug, Shaders extension mirrors and ACC ext rain.
@JustinNator @Senpas, do you remember how you installed Sol previously? Did you click and drag the zip file into CM or did you unzip the folders into AC folder manually?
@@Highness i think know what it was. after disabling all mods like the instruction on videos on the beginning. I have not enable the shader again, so the apps dont appear. and i had previouly instaled the mod Sol yes :)
@Senpas, thanks for reporting back. That's interesting, my Shaders Patch automatically enabled itself after installing it. Is Sol and Shaders working for you?
Yo check this video out: ruclips.net/video/hs-5k9fC66g/видео.html **Currently these are the cars with indicators/hazards** Abarth 595 (+S1, S2; no turning lights) BMW E30 (+drift, +S1) Lamborghini Gallardo (+S1) Ferrari F40 Ruf Yellowbird Audi Sport quattro (+S1)
Since updating to Sol 1.1, I can only get about 10mins play time it just keeps crashing..followed your instructions here carefully and everything seemed to instal as shown..Sol 1.0 I remember I installed it manually, so Sol was not in a Mods folder, but in the 3 folders in that are in the AC route folder...am I gone wrong somewhere?
@@Highness, Solved the problem, its the old shader patch that would not update through the drag & drop method , so I manually unzipped it to the mods folder and then enabled it in CM & everything is grand now
Hey guys, I need some help. I updated all those files via Content Manager, but the checkbox to enable under settings/assetto corsa/apps don't appear. Any solutions?
Hello! I installed sol 1.1 and lights-patch-v0.1.25-preview74 today, the problem is that I don't see in "activated apps" Debug ,Mirrors and weather FX. I can add that I see the only those for sol but not for the lights-patch.
@@Highness Yes, I dropped them into a content manager exactly like in the video and then activated sol in the mods. I didn't have any dwrite.dll because I never had sol and shaders pack in assetto corsa. I also tried to install mods manually and copy paste them to mods folder in assetto corsa rot folder but that didn't work too.
Ok thanks for that. I think that the drag and drop method to install hasn't worked properly for Shaders Patch. Can you see Shaders Patch folder in your mods folder? If you do then delete it. Leave Sol there though. I'll give you next instructions after you've done this.
Thanks again for creating this great mod ! I have just installed as indicated lights-patch-v0.1.25-preview74 and after Sol__1_1_1. Shaders Lights Patch is in the left column in CM as available mod, Sol in the right side as Installed mod. Now when i want to enable the SLP, CM tells me : CONFLICT • “weather_fx.ini” has already been altered by the “Sol” mod. Enabling Shaders Lights Patch may have adverse effects. Are you sure you want to enable this mod? so I said NO for now , until your further indications. When i follow your further checklist, all boxes were ticked as active but i couldn't find the Shaders Extension Debug/Shaders Extension Mirrors/ACC ext rain/Shaders Extension Weather FX, Could you please let me know what i am doing wrong ?
I ignored the conflict and now both mods are activated in the right column but still no options of Shaders Extension Debug/Shaders Extension Mirrors/ACC ext rain/Shaders Extension Weather FX available in assetto corsa / apps
Hm, i followed this guide and under activated apps i only see the shader extension weather fx option and not the debug and mirrors. Any idea how to fix this? Also this is the first time i've installed mods to assetto corsa
Thanks for the video however every time I try and drag the zip over and hit install it says access to the path c:\program files\assetto corsa\steam\steamapps\common\assetto corsa\extension\ install.log is denied. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance. Also when I try to enable sol I get this error. Access to the path \SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\mods\JSGME.ini' is denied.
hey @hammer, it sounds like you have a Windows file/folder permissions issue. Content Manager or JSGME is trying to make a change to a file but windows is blocking it. Do you know how to change file permissions?
@@Highness Aha that was one thing, however the sky was all black in game. Turns out I have to use lights-patch-v0.1.25-preview74.zip as per the instructions, not preview46.zip. I also had to unzip the file into the mods folder to get it to show up in the list in CM. Hope that helps someone.
hi I followed all instructions watching the video, when I comes to assetto corsa apps, I only have shaders extension weather fx,chat and g meter, not what you have in the video, under custom shaders patch tab the 3 boxes were active, in mod list there is only sol installed can you help thanks
Hi @Karl, are you doing a fresh installation of Sol or an update It's OK to only have Sol in your mods list. Can you take a screenshot of your Apps list and paste it to pasteboard.co. Here is mine: pasteboard.co/I0k2WrI.png
Thank you for making this videos really appreciate, very helpful, just one thing, I can't get the track lights working in Daytona rc 2017 after installing shaders patch preview 46 or the new 47, it only works with preview 44, could you please check it if it's just me, Thanks in advance .
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. I believe this is a known bug. The guys in the AC Shader Patch discord were chatting about it recently. If you join their server from the link in the video description then you'll find the comma re this topic. Have you used discord before?
@@Highness Well the install worked and the test car at the end looks like in your example BUT in Settings/Assetto Corsa/Apps I only see Shaders Extension Weather FX. There is no Shaders Extension Debug, Shaders Extension Mirrors, and ACC Ext Rain. Any ideas? Also, how do I use headlights with this setup? Thanks :)
Update: Make sure to enabled Light Shader Patch in your mods list * Go to Content/Mods/All (or use JSGME mods manager) * Make sure Sol is enabled and appears in the Installed mods list During my installation the Light Shader Patch was automatically enabled. It looks like for some this must be manually enabled otherwise you'll get crash and error warnings.
@@jackedrussell Nope, no mods were installed before. This is my first and only mod. So I installed the shader patch, activate it via CM, install Sol, activate in via CM, that's it and then I can't start races anymore :/
@drincc, lol I'm not able to comment on whether this will work on a pirated game since I cannot test it. However, make sure to enabled Light Shader Patch in your mods list.
Question: if I still haven't got the Shaders Patch and Sol, can I just install them from these updated version or it's still reauired to normally install them and then do this since it's a beta?
Hang on, the reflection settings are resolution and faces, static, one, two, three...six. What's what's your reflections resolution and how many faces per frame? Also, which VR do you use?
Hey @Margo, that happens to me too, I think it has to do with the time of the server when you joined. I find that the bright blue happens around 4-5pm and some other time.
When I want to donate, there is only a Russian source. Is it serious? I´ve often heard that people donate and then they got no reaction. Sounds fraudulent...
Thank you young man 👏👏👏 I've liked and subscribed at 73 yrs old I need all the help I can get 😂😂 going to look at you shader graphic vides next 👍
This has changed now. You only need to go to the custom shaders patch setting in content manager and content manager will download and install the shader patch for you.

edit: maybe spoke to soon... now the sun rises in saved replays but the clouds are at a standstill. With the time multiplier fixed, I'll take it!
@CreamyCornCob, thanks for sharing your findings. I wonder if the clouds at a standstill is due to weatherfx not being triggered. Eg. If you created a race session that is Thunderstorm with high speed wind and then observed a saved replay, will the weather load with Thunderstorm with high speed wind?

Pls,,, What camera is this you used in 8:25 ? What is the command to move this camera like that? ;)
@Ricardo, you're welcome. I wrote up a text guide www.reddit.com/r/assettocorsa/comments/anbgjt/how_to_enable_free_camera_mouse_look_in_assetto/
Let me know if this makes sense.
Ahhh! The solution is Simple. Just have the proper knowledge.
Ahaha, thanks for help, @Highness. You have one more like and one more inscribed. [;-}
I don't know why but I get psychedelic colors when I cycle through the environments. I can only use a few like the rainy ones. I also don't get head lights on the track. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the updated install.
Thanks for the tutorial, SOL is working brilliantly now, however when I try to re-enable some of my old mods, it gives me an error mnessage saying adding it could have adverse effects. What should I do?
You should be able to continue with enabling some of mods but it does depend on which ones they are.
@@Highness It's all good, I ended up just dragging and dropping all of mods in my mods folder directly into CM. Now theyre working like a charm. Thanks for the quick reply
trying to do this myself, followed the instructions to install and content manager reckons that they're active but when I look at filters there's no _Sol option and everything past that in the video is missing...
same, i've tried reinstalling and nothing
Open the zip file of sol or shaders patch; i dont remember which one. Find the one with system, extensions and content i think, put those folders in your assetto corsa root folder, overwrite current files. That should do it. i’ll check which folders exactly in a few minutes
my shaders dont show up as a mod. in content /mods. also the shaders dont show up in settings assetto corsa/ apps/ activated apps. only sol shows up. solconfig and sol weather map. ive noticed on other vids peoples shaders show up but they dont for me. ? any ideas why. i am using sol 1.2.3
Quick question.... I installed the sol mod and works perfect but when I go online and turn off PP effects it makes everything really really bright. Is that normal? Because before I installed it and went online without PP it was fine. Btw I am using the rift. Thank you
Ahah, no need to turn off PP for online. I'm literally producing a guide for optimal settings for Oculus Rift. I expect to upload this in the next 24 hours.
How do I reduce sun glare, it's like a blinding nuclear explosion? I love the everything about AC and CM.
In what sequence must the mods be enabled as they seem to overwrite some of the files that belong to the other mods in CM? E.G Shader patch first, then sol, then wet mod etc?
Hey @Graham, good question. First Sol, then Wed Mod. You may not need to enable Shader Patch (depending on the version you've installed) because in the latest beta Shader Patch is installed in the main AC folder.
Let me know how you go.
Great vid, are the pyramids still showing ?
Hey @Glen I haven't experienced the pyramids artifact but I do recall some chatter about this in Sol's discord. Might want to check in there.
Little bit odd. I dont have a dwrite.dll, all i have is a DWrite text file (.log file).
Also: Did everything like you said in the video, but on the App section i cant find Shaders extension debug, Shaders extension mirrors and ACC ext rain.
also in the same situation
@JustinNator @Senpas, do you remember how you installed Sol previously? Did you click and drag the zip file into CM or did you unzip the folders into AC folder manually?
@@Highness i think know what it was. after disabling all mods like the instruction on videos on the beginning. I have not enable the shader again, so the apps dont appear. and i had previouly instaled the mod Sol yes :)
@Senpas, thanks for reporting back. That's interesting, my Shaders Patch automatically enabled itself after installing it.
Is Sol and Shaders working for you?
I don't have either of those in my main Assetto Corsa folder. I used the Highness video when I first installed Sol and Shader a week ago.
Quick question I can't get the indicators/hazards to work I've tried all cars and nothing have I done something wrong and how do I fix it
Yo check this video out: ruclips.net/video/hs-5k9fC66g/видео.html
**Currently these are the cars with indicators/hazards**
Abarth 595 (+S1, S2; no turning lights)
BMW E30 (+drift, +S1)
Lamborghini Gallardo (+S1)
Ferrari F40
Ruf Yellowbird
Audi Sport quattro (+S1)
Since updating to Sol 1.1, I can only get about 10mins play time it just keeps crashing..followed your instructions here carefully and everything seemed to instal as shown..Sol 1.0 I remember I installed it manually, so Sol was not in a Mods folder, but in the 3 folders in that are in the AC route folder...am I gone wrong somewhere?
Hey Myk would you follow the steps in this video ruclips.net/video/emqaj4Rcl8U/видео.html
If you still get stuck then let me know and I'll help you.
@@Highness, Solved the problem, its the old shader patch that would not update through the drag & drop method , so I manually unzipped it to the mods folder and then enabled it in CM & everything is grand now
I cant get the shader patch to show up as an app to enable it. It says it installed correctly but is not listed. Any help is appreciated.
Hey guys, I need some help. I updated all those files via Content Manager, but the checkbox to enable under settings/assetto corsa/apps don't appear. Any solutions?
Hey @Sascha would you message me via discord and I'll help you out? discord.gg/tJPQhAU
While in content manager , weatherfx is active but in game with the weatherfx app, why does it say weatherfx is disabled?
Hey @Ryan in CM, would you take a screenshot of Content/mods and paste it to pasteboard.co
Shader patch and Sol aren't appearing in my mods section. CM is running in 32 bit, don't know if that is an issue or what.
It is, AC and so CM must be in 64 bit for SOL to work
didn't you forget to enable the shaders light patch under the mods tab again ?
Let me come back to you with this, I'm confirming with the mod devs and testing to make sure I give you the correct answer.
Hello! I installed sol 1.1 and lights-patch-v0.1.25-preview74 today, the problem is that I don't see in "activated apps" Debug ,Mirrors and weather FX. I can add that I see the only those for sol but not for the lights-patch.
Hi @Klado555 how did you install Sol and Shaders Patch? Did you drag and drop them into Content Manager?
@@Highness Yes, I dropped them into a content manager exactly like in the video and then activated sol in the mods. I didn't have any dwrite.dll because I never had sol and shaders pack in assetto corsa. I also tried to install mods manually and copy paste them to mods folder in assetto corsa rot folder but that didn't work too.
Ok thanks for that. I think that the drag and drop method to install hasn't worked properly for Shaders Patch.
Can you see Shaders Patch folder in your mods folder? If you do then delete it.
Leave Sol there though.
I'll give you next instructions after you've done this.
@@HighnessI can't see Shaders Patch folder in my mods folder. I see only sol and in the main folder of assetto corsa I see dwrite.dll
Ok then Shaders Patch hasn't installed properly.
Is there a way to lighten up the shadows? When the shadows is cast over some vehicles I can't see the liveries.
Thanks again for creating this great mod !
I have just installed as indicated lights-patch-v0.1.25-preview74
and after Sol__1_1_1.
Shaders Lights Patch is in the left column in CM as available mod, Sol in the right side as Installed mod.
Now when i want to enable the SLP, CM tells me :
CONFLICT
• “weather_fx.ini” has already been altered by the “Sol” mod.
Enabling Shaders Lights Patch may have adverse effects. Are you sure you want to enable this mod?
so I said NO for now , until your further indications.
When i follow your further checklist, all boxes were ticked as active but i couldn't find the Shaders Extension Debug/Shaders Extension Mirrors/ACC ext rain/Shaders Extension Weather FX,
Could you please let me know what i am doing wrong ?
When the conflict warning pops up again click yes and see if that works.
I ignored the conflict and now both mods are activated in the right column but still no options of Shaders Extension Debug/Shaders Extension Mirrors/ACC ext rain/Shaders Extension Weather FX available in assetto corsa / apps
Same problem here....
Hm, i followed this guide and under activated apps i only see the shader extension weather fx option and not the debug and mirrors. Any idea how to fix this? Also this is the first time i've installed mods to assetto corsa
Hi @Takaoshi thanks for reaching me on my discord.
i got lights-patch-v0.1.25-preview49 and the 1 in your desciption is lights-patch-v0.1.25-preview46. wich 1 is the latest version
Good question, check out this discord channel for the latest version of Shaders discord.gg/zwz6YD
Highness ok bud thank you much appreciated 😉😉😉
You think i be able to run this graphic mod with my rig?? Specs: ryzen 5 2600x radeon gigabyte 580rx 8gb 16gb of ram ddr4 3000mh??
Hey @Gordo I think your GPU is fine. Your CPU should handle races with up to 10 other cars fine too.
Thanks for the video however every time I try and drag the zip over and hit install it says access to the path c:\program files\assetto corsa\steam\steamapps\common\assetto corsa\extension\ install.log is denied. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance. Also when I try to enable sol I get this error. Access to the path \SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\mods\JSGME.ini' is denied.
hey @hammer, it sounds like you have a Windows file/folder permissions issue. Content Manager or JSGME is trying to make a change to a file but windows is blocking it.
Do you know how to change file permissions?
@@Highness Aha that was one thing, however the sky was all black in game. Turns out I have to use lights-patch-v0.1.25-preview74.zip as per the instructions, not preview46.zip. I also had to unzip the file into the mods folder to get it to show up in the list in CM. Hope that helps someone.
hi I followed all instructions watching the video, when I comes to assetto corsa apps, I only have shaders extension weather fx,chat and g meter, not what you have in the video, under custom shaders patch tab the 3 boxes were active, in mod list there is only sol installed can you help thanks
Hi @Karl, are you doing a fresh installation of Sol or an update It's OK to only have Sol in your mods list. Can you take a screenshot of your Apps list and paste it to pasteboard.co. Here is mine: pasteboard.co/I0k2WrI.png
@@Highness pasteboard.co/I0k8HyEJ.png
yes first time doing any mods
OK let me test and figure out why those apps are missing in your installation. Gimme a few mins.
@@Highness thanks
Thank you for making this videos really appreciate, very helpful, just one thing, I can't get the track lights working in Daytona rc 2017 after installing shaders patch preview 46 or the new 47, it only works with preview 44, could you please check it if it's just me, Thanks in advance .
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. I believe this is a known bug. The guys in the AC Shader Patch discord were chatting about it recently. If you join their server from the link in the video description then you'll find the comma re this topic. Have you used discord before?
@@Highness Thanks for your reply, no I never used discord before I will check it, thanks again and have a nice day !
If you are doing a clean install of both Sol and Shaders Patch, can you install by just dropping these into the hamburger menu in Content Manager?
Hi @Eric, yes you can. Please let me know how you went.
@@Highness Thank you so much for the quick reply! I'll give it a go! The links you list are the latest versions of Sol and Shaders?
yep, I just checked and it's good to go. You're welcome @Eric
@@Highness Well the install worked and the test car at the end looks like in your example BUT in Settings/Assetto Corsa/Apps I only see Shaders Extension Weather FX. There is no Shaders Extension Debug, Shaders Extension Mirrors, and ACC Ext Rain. Any ideas? Also, how do I use headlights with this setup? Thanks :)
Update: Make sure to enabled Light Shader Patch in your mods list
* Go to Content/Mods/All (or use JSGME mods manager)
* Make sure Sol is enabled and appears in the Installed mods list
During my installation the Light Shader Patch was automatically enabled. It looks like for some this must be manually enabled otherwise you'll get crash and error warnings.
It gives an error:" Attempt to infiltrate AC process failed. " with a list of errors and then cancels out of the race. How to fix this?
That occasionally happens if you're using incompatible car and track mods, are you using either of those?
@@jackedrussell Nope, no mods were installed before. This is my first and only mod. So I installed the shader patch, activate it via CM, install Sol, activate in via CM, that's it and then I can't start races anymore :/
@Drincc are you around to troubleshoot this together?
@@Highness yoooooo yea man but I gotta say first that I pirated the game lol its that a problem? Its version 1.16 I did what you said in the video
@drincc, lol I'm not able to comment on whether this will work on a pirated game since I cannot test it. However, make sure to enabled Light Shader Patch in your mods list.
I dont have the mods tab cause im using the free version
Question: if I still haven't got the Shaders Patch and Sol, can I just install them from these updated version or it's still reauired to normally install them and then do this since it's a beta?
What's the track at the beginning of the video?
Hey @Edge that's Sebring www.racedepartment.com/downloads/sebring-international-raceway-rtb.13374/
does anyone know why my screen flickers during the night when im playing in vr? doesnt happen in the headset but on the screen on my computer
Hey man with your flickering, what is your reflections resolution and faces setting currently?
Hang on, the reflection settings are resolution and faces, static, one, two, three...six.
What's what's your reflections resolution and how many faces per frame?
Also, which VR do you use?
Highness oh, my faces per frame is Static resolution is 1680 x 1050 and I use a Oculus Rift
Hey man this is a known bug, in my case the screen goes completely black for an hour at two different times during a 24 hour transition period.
@@Highness Yea, It's Quite annoying when i try to record ingame Footage to show to my buds.
Cant access content/mods
why some times mu screen goes full blue when i join server
Hey @Margo, that happens to me too, I think it has to do with the time of the server when you joined. I find that the bright blue happens around 4-5pm and some other time.
@@Highness i fix it with down gradeing to sol 1.0
Sol 1.1 is officially released, check it out. www.racedepartment.com/downloads/sol.24914/
See if that fixes any issues.
Anyone know why my time multiplier is maxing out at 60?
+Phil Gardiner instead of using the slider just left mouse click on the number and you can type a number greater than 60.
@@Highness Thanks - I just worked that out from watching another of your vids. This is a huge step forward for sim driving!
+Phil glad you worked it out mate. I think there's more improvements to Assetto Corsa to expect over the coming weeks.
can someone tell me if I can install sol using jsgme?
You can use JSGME to enable or disable Sol after you have dragged the Sol zip file into Content Manager
My game says race cancelled when i try and play
welp!
Can you enter the drive using the original Assetto Corsa launcher (not Content Manager)?
idk havent tried but if i use the sold no clouds performance it lets me in game offline
@@Highness
i cant click on mods
Do you have the paid version of Content Manager?
When I want to donate, there is only a Russian source. Is it serious? I´ve often heard that people donate and then they got no reaction. Sounds fraudulent...
First
@Alpha Lobster, you're literally the first to ever say "First" and be first on a video on my channel!
Highness Hehe. Always wanted to do that 😀
Highness BTW, keep them coming 👍👍
What if i dont have content manager?Is it possible too?It says at the sky i need to update the Shaders to 0.1.26.
