Completely unrelated, I've been growing increasingly tired of The Way Android Is™️ lately, and specifically i think the worst homescreen experience ever conceived on a mobile device, and i think spending the 5 bucks on the lifetime plan for this launcher was the best thing i've ever done

I can't be the only one getting tired of this bullshit. Go call your friends and tell them you love them. Spend time engaging with your local culture. Help people you know. Love people you're close to. Your necks will break if you never stop looking up at people who don't give a shit about you.

Still really enjoying my time with FH6, but the fact that the game came out in May and other than one single week where it was apparently a bug, you get two race two-four members of your friends list and then this gaggle of terrible drivers that the game forces onto every event is still a peeve

List of opponent Drivatars in a race in Forza Horizon 6. Most of these are preselected by the game, and not members of your friends list, such as HokiHoshi, FelipeFVald, and the infamous bowie knife99. (Though, he's honestly just terrible, and it was blown out of proportion.)

One of the biggest things for me is just the fact that you can put multiple of *your* cars in a picture, btw You still, just can't do that in Forza The only hacky way to manage is to build a custom garage for it. Which limits you to 2x zoom, low livery resolution and pretty broken DOF. it sucks

Hey so like, part of me is actually so curious to know how steering wheel support is done in this game, because this is Screamer. the twin stick racer game from a few months ago. I really love it, but the whole thing is you use both analogue sticks/wasd+arrows to play. how. does a wheel work w it??

tried using Firefox for a week, and y'all I give up this isn't worth it. I'm sorry LMAO in both cases i closed it, reopened it and the usage dropped down to around 1.5-1.8 GB of which Chromium is consistently under 900 MB with the same *FOUR* tabs open. And nothing else. Four of them. i'm out!!

a SINGLE instance of Firefox, of unknown origin as it didn't appear to be any of the tabs, using 8% of the whole CPU, and 2.6 GB of RAM all by itself. Total usage was at 3.8 GB. Browser was incredibly slow.

Firefox using **4.4 GIGABYTES of RAM!!** In both instances, there were 4 tabs open, with no media playing in any of them!

So apparently they haven't changed the store page's Early Access blurb, lol It's basically entirely lies at this point, with special attention to this little bit right here.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“We're aiming to have the full 1.0 release ready within less than one year from the start of Early Access. We believe this timeframe strikes the right balance between gathering crucial community feedback and delivering a polished, complete experience. Of course, game development is a dynamic process, and we'll keep you informed every step of the way if any adjustments to the timeline become necessary.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“The full version of Assetto Corsa EVO is planned to be a significantly richer and more polished experience than the Early Access version.

We envision expanding the game in several key areas, including the addition of a large open world map area scanned from real world data references that will allow players to explore, hire and purchase cars, buy new parts and personalise their vehicle. In addition there will be a varity of different gameplay features based within the open world map.

Expect to see a greater variety of cars from different motoring eras, extra tracks, additional gameplay features and mechanics and interactive locations within the open world. As Early Access progresses we will continue to improve upon the game experience focusing on performance and stability.”

And for the curious, I haven't just been saying "I don't want this game anymore". At most they're pulling an "I'm not reading all that." I've made a second reply as well, more out of frustration than anything. But maybe it leads somewhere, who knows.

I'd like to request a refund on this product, after repeated attempts to get Steam Support to look at the problem and receiving nothing but automated responses with automatic denials, completely ignoring the main issue at hand with the product. As stated before, the game's initial sales pitch promised an expansive career mode. Featuring an open world, race events, an in-game economy, car purchases of race and road models alike, and as stated on their official game Discord (https://www.reddit.com/r/assettocorsaevo/comments/1qvjql7/an_update_on_the_future_of_assetto_corsa_evo/), will now be an entirely multiplayer focused product, with no career mode whatsoever other than basic "rules of racing" content, similar to their last game, Assetto Corsa Competizione. This does not match their initial pitch, the reason the majority of the players bought the game in the first place. I understand I bought the game more than 14 days ago, and have more than 2 hours of playtime. The game has poor performance, terrible controller setup, and despite almost none of my playtime being actually playing the game, I exceed the normal requirements. But this does not change the fact that the game I was promised, and have purchased, is not the game I am being told will be delivered now. This is simply not how you market a product to your userbase.

Included is a picture from the roadmap taken from the Internet Archive, from March of 2025, promising many of the features they have now since removed from the title's plans, despite being the basis of many player's purchases. They have also since erased all mention of said planned career mode.

The hard abidance to the refund policy is sincerely of no help when they have falsely advertised the game for months on end and have now deceived hundreds, perhaps even thousands of players. I understand that policies exist, but regardless of the game being an "Early Access" title, it should be no excuse, considering the game is already over half a year behind schedule and most of its promised features, many of which were people's driving motives to purchase the title, have been silently removed.

This behaviour is frankly unacceptable from both the publisher and developer, 505 and Kunos, and frankly, the amount of unhelpful, automated replies from Steam Support has been of no use.

Update? Update. I post another support ticket. This time, under "I have a question about this purchase", which is known to have an actual human respond. 12 HOURS LATER. What's almost certainly an automated reply spewing the same junk. I don't understand the love for Steam Support. This is awful.

If nothing else, I at least hope my, along with other people's reviews, can steer people away from believing whatever they want to tell you. I can't believe I had hope for this title.

This game is not worth your money. Kunos promised a product they are now no longer delivering. They cancelled all plans for their career mode via a *Discord announcement.* Instead, they want to focus on making Assetto Corsa EVO yet another generic online-focused sim-racer, but with road cars, which sim racers don't even like to drive in favour of GT3s and Prototypes anyway.

Steam support is refusing to refund the game for anyone that bought the game in its original launch, or that spent more than 2 hours wrangling with this title to even ATTEMPT to have a good experience, as the game doesn't provide one without more than 2 hours of tinkering just for a decent framerate, much less decent controller support, which they lie to you that they provide.

Do not buy it. I regret doing so, and you likely will too. A year's worth of waiting for nothing. Kunos does not deserve your money.
