Thanks Peter. I’ve been waiting and excited for the September update. Does it bring the skydomes and lightning back?

Saul Ormandy

What’s new in this update or where can I see the change logs ?

Manuel Salgado

Just saw the features video. My bad.

Jacopo Di Giuli

I think it's one of the updates I was most looking forward to this year...truly epic work...you're the man, Peter! 👏🏻

Peter Boese

Maybe watch the new feature video and read the included changlog!

Peter Boese

Thanks, and it got better than i thought...

Angel Renard

Decryption error when trying to download from Mega, unable to copy all data from Mediafire link which causes the game to crash before it can load from CM.

Peter Boese

please try to download it again with another browser like Chrome. Maybe your used browser causes problems because of the file size...

Paul Racecraft Studio

You are our King ! Update after update , i keep being truly impressed. Thank you !

Angel Renard

Already using Chrome and never had an issue downloading past versions. Mega link cannot be downloaded because the file is corrupt on the server side. Message when attempting to install from Mediafire: 0x80004005: Unspecified error with 240377153.dds.

Petro1head

I'm must be getting old. Confused will all the versions. Pure 2, Gamma 1.15 and LCS 1.00. Which do I need please?

Dennis Okeefe

Heya Peter in the last version? I used LPS which is preference but if i set time at either sundown or sunrise i get just red godray like effects. I've probably mucked with a setting but can't find the solution and don't want to reset because Assetto looks beautiful with the current! Any input as to what it may be? Can send photos if need be.

Saul Ormandy

Could just be a me thing but when I use Pure LCS I have a fisheye/dashcam effect I cannot get rid of

Angel Renard

You still had the right idea though; I switched to Edge and the Mediafire link works now. Apologies for the trouble!

Mateusz Kais

Hi, did everything as in the install video. My game now looks very oversaturated, too bright (even after resetting pure to defaults) using pure PP and pure weather. Im using csp 0.2.5 prev 1. Also it says the pureLCS scripts are in HDR mode - is this the reason? How can I fix it?

hanocq

merci good job

Nico Perez

What is this "sunblinding shader" and where do i aquire one? Is it a reshade preset?

Peter Boese

Those are Pure's own shaders and they are running already if you are using Pure Gamma or Pure LCS. You find their settings in Pure Config app - Shaders tab!

Peter Boese

Did you already read the HDR tutorial? You must set all the listed settings there to successfuly use HDR in AC!!! If you don't have an HDR monitor, please don't set DXGI HDR mode in CM settings CSP - DXGI settings!

Peter Boese

Thats not cuased by Pure LCS. It could be caused by your used PPFilter. What PPfilter do you use?

Saul Ormandy

I thought it could be, I checked C13 Aegis Discord I don’t think they are gunna support LCS at the moment, thankyou!

Peter Boese

Pure 2.0 is a combination of Pure Gamma and Pure LCS. Pure Gamma is a weather style which is based on the OLD AC Gamma shaders. Pure LCS is a weather style, which is based on the NEW CSP Linear Color Space shaders. LCS brings many improvements to rendering and color stability. So Pure LCS 1.0 is the newest version of Pure. LCS is very new to AC, so i still provide the older Pure Gamma versions with the complete Pure update...

Peter Boese

Every PPfilter is now compatible with Pure LCS, but if this fisheye is set in the ppfilter settings, you could also remove it with the ingame PPFilter editor. Open Photo mode app and right-click on the ppfilter name. Select edit...

Saul Ormandy

Yeah I searched through the pure config to turn the effect off but the option is not there where it should normally be in the ‘pp’ tab I’ll try it your way thankyou

Peter Boese

Please install the new Pure 2.00 properly. It will not mess your pictures qualitiy. DO NOT set DXGI HDR mode if you don't have an HDR monitor! Please watch the "new features", it will explain you, that Pure LCS is complette now...

Mateusz Kais

I don't even use HDR screen :D The problem was - at some point I must have been tinkering with DXGI settings and checked the hdr support by mistake. It's all good now, looks awesome, thanks Peter!

Uros Ljubicic

Hi i downloaded pure 2.0 and installed it like in the video but cm only shows pure lcs 1.0 and pure gamma 1.15

RiZou71

Since everyone easily gets used to the best, I wanted to see what Assetto Corsa was like in its early days. So I completely removed the Custom Shader Patch and Pure to return to the original game. And I launched the game from the original launcher to see what it looked like. And there, the game shows its age! Then I reinstalled the latest version CSP 0.2.5 preview1 and restarted the game from Control manager. It was already better but without relief, without depth. Then I installed Pure 2.0 and chose the LCS style... It’s another world!!! "BRAVO" Peter for your hard work!

Peter Boese

Yes, thats right. Pure 2.0 = Pure Gamma 1.15 + Pure LCS 1.0 It includes 2 versions.

Dennis Okeefe

Thanks for the reply, that is a good point hopefully i find the time to have a go tomorrow i can check it out. Any that you suggest that work well? It may be SKY?

KINGCxNTY

OOO!! I'm so excited to try. Thank you Peter! I just finally got my game to look amazing, so i am a little affraid i will lose my current look once i install Pure 2.0, but i will try. Thank you!

Peter Boese

You will not regret it. Pure LCS 1.0 is a performance AND visual improvement...

Chris Delcasale

pure candy was awsome im so excited to try this update

tetzip

This is fantastic, many thanks for your hard work!

Davan Nagle

Your work is appreciated.

Yuri Lopes

Hi Peter, insanely amazing work as usual. I do have a small issue, though, if i have PureLCS enabled, and i go to some tracks at night (specifically Daikoku Parking), i get a bugged day skybox. everything else is night time (yellowed lights, car has headlights on, map has city lights on too, and stuff is darker), just the skybox is day time. I'm 90% sure it's PureLCS because whenever i swap to PureGamma and nothing else, the problem is fixed

Matt Morphosis

Hi Peter, many thanks for the update, Gamma works great for me, but when using LCS I have no clouds just a dark grey sky? using pure candy filter

Peter Boese

What CSP version are you using? Maybe CSP is not installed properly.

Matt Morphosis

its cool dude, my mistake actually when installing. all up and running ok, kids in the house causing a riot haha got distracted and installed it wrong. Its all working brilliantly now with LCS, it looks absolutely stunning dude, hats off to you as its amazing work mate :)

Dietmar de Groot

Whow what a great update, thank you Peter, looks amazing !

Vanzant

Excellent work!!

RICHARD ASHFORD

Amazing update Peter. Looks fantastic and performance has greatly improved.I am now able to go from 90fps in VR to 120fps and performance is still great., Thanks

Brown2Fox

Same problem When I set weather style to Pure LCS, pure config app says that "Pure weather script is not running!" When I click Activate it switches back to Gamma Following recommended steps "reinstalling CSP, removing weather_cfg files, etc" does not help I use CSP 0.2.5-preview1 UPD. Seems like CSP 0.2.4-preview1 works fine UPD2. Swtiching back to CSP 0.2.5-preview1 after switching to 0.2.4 now works too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One8turbo

Which setting would affect street light glow intensity? In SRP for example, looking at the street lights at night they don't appear as lit up. Can't seem to find a slider that affects them specifically.

Tim Leighton

This is great Peter. Thank you. I was just looking around in VR and I found a setting that let me change the PP filter on the fly while on track. I have now lost it again. Can you help me find it?

RSGRAPHICS

Hello team, After download and install without problem, start game and screen goes in black....goes to pure setting menu inside game, activate pure and change to blue light screen gamma.....seems like there are something wrong when install with the last CSP version 0.2.5.preview1 PP filter Pure Candy I ve tryied with pure and lcs and same problem....any suggestions to set ok?

Peter Boese

Then reinstall CSP. If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa"). You can also try to reset CSP settings to default: Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later.

Peter Boese

There is no way to change ppfilters in VR.

RSGRAPHICS

Ok, thanks, I will try this afternoon, and I'll give You report ASAP, thanks!

PIGEON

Should I use PureLinear still with PURE LCS in VR?

Peter Boese

Its your decision! pureLinear has nothing to do with LCS. Its just a ppfilter with color accuracy in mind, but therefore its darker...

Tobbi

Hey, i installed pure but i only have 13 fps, it doesnt matter if i use low end or high end settings. Do you have a solution?

Tim Leighton

Ah ok thanks. I was switching between VR and single screen. I guess the setting I found was while I was in single screen and I assumed it would be there in VR.

Andrei

Beautiful, thank you for your work

Peter Boese

Please watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!

Kiefer Smith

Hey Peter, great work as always I really appreciate it. Im using the new LCS. One thing I have noticed is I have no sunrays using your HDR PPfilter, this leads the sun to look like a floating circle and does not have a diffused look to it. If I use the linear filter it looks spot on. I have found the godray slider in your pure settings but it has no effect as the effect appears to be missing, any idea why? Thanks as always!

Peter Boese

just use the "pure" or "pureCandy" ppfilter. Those are all in one ppfilters and they handle the different screen modes automatically. And BTW you can now use ALL ppfilters and they will work automatically in HDR!

Lindvior

Can't wait to try this :)))

Mahinoor Uddin

Hi there Peter im having issues where the clouds wont render in 360 skydomes

Peter Boese

Pure Planner app is saying this, you just need to set the Pure weather controller in CM Drive menu like shown in the Pure install video!

Mahinoor Uddin

its for pure lcs the skydomes wont render

Kiefer Smith

Thanks for that, at least I know I'm not missing out on anything by not using the HDR filter now. I actually prefer the Linear filter, at night its dark at times especially with areas lacking light pollution but with the OLED it looks lovely. Nordschleife is DARK! Thanks again.

Peter Boese

That does not help me to understand what you mean by that! If you open Pure Config app ingame and switch to "Clouds" tab, is clouds render method set to 1? And please answer in the same thread...

MRC

Hi, first of all, great work! Just a quick question what would you recommend using? Gamma or LCS?

Peter Boese

Pure LCS! Its the most advanced weather style now...

Mahinoor Uddin

hi yes, it is set too 1 and i see no clouds, it's all Gray and when i change to a different cloudy setting for example few clouds the sky colour changes but no clouds form.

SW

incredible work m8

mforget

It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful Pure can make AC look. I don't usually race at night, but I turned on night with the Heavy Thunderstorm preset and dialed up the frequency multiplier and it looked amazing. Definitely did not help my driving, though -- too busy looking at the scenery.

Peter Boese

Sorry for that :-) Always nice to hear that it has the impact i wanted to create....

Tomasz

Thank you Peter. Hats off to you!

Sarthak Panda

Hey Peter, in the video it is mentioned every pure shader is compatible with single pass stereo mode in VR for LCS. Was this not the case before for gamma and lcs? I don't remember the sunblinding in vr

Peter Boese

No most of the shaders are not compatible in VR SPS mode in Pure Gamma.

shay

I’ve installed and reinstalled this, but Sunblazing never seems to work, no matter the time of day or weather I choose. I tested it on the Nordschleife, and it looks nowhere near as good as it does in your video. I also don’t see any indication that LCS is on or activated, nor do I have the cool/warm options like in the video. I do have the weather style set to LCS in Content Manager. It just looks really flat for me any tips?

Peter Boese

Did you watch the install video? There you see how you check Pure is working with the in-game Pure Config app. Did you select Pure LCS as weather style in weatherFX settings?

Peter Boese

I want to keep it simple in Pure LCS. Just use the sunblinding slider in PP tab with the pure PPfilters to gain the effect.

Boost

Is there a plan to deprecate the Gamma version, this way you can focus more on the LCS? It's obvious that LCS is the future.

Peter Boese

Yes, but CSP LCS shaders still have bugs, so if there are possibly improvements in Pure Gamma and those cost not many time, I will update and publish it.

Raj Shah

For every single filter, it says "this filter does not have a pure script", my filters which did have one now say they dont, how can i fix this. I am even using the pure ppfilters, and still no config?

Peter Boese

Maybe it's not installed completely! If You have WinRAR, open the pure zip with it, mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system and use the "Extract" button. Select the AC root folder.

Super Assetto Corsa

On PureLCS, there are no Godrays nor Glare FXs in first person view in VR ... with "Single Pass Stereo" ON or OFF, the same ... with "Sunblind" On or Off,it's the same. In Third person view (outside) there are sometimes. Always using Pure PPFilter to test, all reinstalled twice, first CSP then Pure 2

Eduardo Garcia

I just did a race in the green hell of an hour and a half that started at sunset and ended at night and the only thing I can say is AWESOME!!!!

RSGRAPHICS

Hello, finally I can use ok, but is not easy to resolve; Steps; First install the csp 0.2.4preview1 Install the new pure 2.0 version Open CM and run every mode gamma and lcs Close the game Install the newer CSP version 0.2.5 preview1 Open the CM and run in this two modes, gamma and lcs and is working ok, without problem. Ready! Maybe there is something wrong or not compatible installing directly over the last CSP version? Take note for help other people with same issue. Anyway, thanks for your support and excelent work, very nice! Regards! JLF

Rob PhoboS

Awesome work, truly fantastic efforts keeping this game super strong! I updated this morning to test things out and my issue is a little odd. I'm using CSP 0.2.5-preview1, Rift S - LCS v1. PPF = Pure (or PureVR) In game, FPS are fantastic (nearly always 80fps, at 2x oversampling for the Rift) - however the overall look is very odd, extremely bright highlights, and very dark/contrast - it's almost like no global illumination (best way I can describe it). If I try to adjust anything it just doesn't balance out. So for now I've gone back to Pure Gamma + C13AEGIS (if I try other PPF filters with LCS it looks washed out, with no contrast weirdly).

belh4wk

I have the same issue as JuanmaRS Lerma, preview build of CSP (0.2.5 preview), same blueish gamma and if i use the default pure ppfilter, i don't get a skydome, just a grey skybox. also, when loading into the game, pure config (with Pure LCS selected) suggests that Pure is not active

Raj Shah

that is exactly what i did, well i dragged and dropped it from WinRAR though, i think it should do the same thing?

Chris TaT

I am having the exact same problem. tried all of the fixes. nothing works. settings keep reverting away from lcs. open PURE config and it briefly shows the lightning warning then goes to a screen that says pure not running. once you activate it, everything goes crazy over exposed blue dynamo. Re-installed everything a few times. uninstalled one drive. many reboots. nothing works.

Revv

Do I have to delete/uninsall the older version to install the new one or can I install over it

Chris TaT

Same issue. no clouds. weird grey sky. no sky dome. rain works oddly. if you open pure config, 1 second of lightning warning, then the screen saying PURE is not activated. Hit Activate, and everything goes Blue! Gamma seems to be working. tried all the listed fixes and no solution.

Marco Fabro

Looks amazing and performs sooo good. Thank you for all that you do for this game. Any plans to bring the same amount of sun blinding in Gamma to LCS? It has so many more options.

Juan Diego Vélez González

I installed right just like u show in your video and like ive been doin it for a long time, but for some reason, Pure LCS runs bad, the new Pure Gamma version, looks good and runs good, but when I switch to LCS FPS go down

Joey DiGiovanni

Use the pure uninstall bat in the pure download folder. Then install the new pure.

Revv

Thank you!

Matt Marantz

Amazing work! Installed, working, looks beautiful. I love it! HDR looks great. Thank you.

JF V

Thankyou Peter. For some reason the sky is blown out when testing LCS out of the box with Pure PP filter. I have to lower the world or scene brightness to almost 0 in order to see the sky domes, is this normal?

Peter Boese

Don't activate CSP DXGI HDR if you don't use a HDR monitor!

Peter Boese

Which CSP version do you use? Open CSP Lua Debug app in-game. Are there any red dots?

Peter Boese

No, I try to keep it simple and efficient in Pure LCS. Just use the sunblinding slider in pure PPfilter script settings to gain the effect. Pure Config app PP tab.

Peter Boese

If you use the "pure" PPfilter, you can adjust you preferred look with the photo-realistic and soft-look slider like shown in the new features video.

Peter Boese

You must deactivate the Single Yebis Pass option to have godrays in SPS mode...

Peter Boese

It is not installed properly then. Please watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!

Dreamsicle

Hey Peter, should I be able to use pure override in an online server while using LCS? Gamma works, but nothing happens with LCS.

Peter Boese

Oh, it seems the skydomes don't change in online override. Thanks for the report! I'll fix that! Edit: Found it, will come soon with the hotfix...

JF V

Thanks!

belh4wk

for folks having issues; I uninstalled the previous version using the uninstall.bat file and then reinstalled as per the video instructions and tadaah, all good ;)

CB883

hi, when connecting to a session in VR the whole picture flashes few times changing colours etc, then goes back to normal. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Penguin Fun Racing

Might be normal, but want to know. When I look at the replay data, I just noticed that the weather is always SOL, although I use Pure. The type is also wrong as I set it to mist, and its noted Few Clouds.

Peter Boese

It needs to be done to initialize the right post processing mode. You could deactivate the "lightning" shader in Pure Config app - "shaders" tab, then those resets are faster. But actually it should only reset 1 time. Do you have Windows Ondrive installed and running?

TheBlueTwin .

i Use VR and i noticed when i Use LCS in weather script my main screen is way to dark and my vr headset is normal. Is this normal.When i use Gamma in Weather scripts evrything matches well. really liked the LCS and wish i can use it. ty for this update. is there a way to make LCS work without darkend visual on main screen

Peter Boese

is this with the "pure" ppfilter? I'll check that...

Peter Boese

Those are just weather preset names. They are still in for compatibility reasons. So online servers still accessing those older weather presets, or Careers and Championships do those too. But thos presets are just a link to CSP's weather types...

CB883

Hi, thanks for reply. It's not a big deal but I remember it didn't use to happen I think before the Pure LCS 1.0 update (I may be wrong here). I've got OneDrive but I'm not signed in and I don't use it because I only use this PC for simracing.

Mk2.2

HI ! , I am new here and just wonder witch one makes your game look better gamma or lcs ? . Thanks

Dave Brown

Hi. Do these download links now include the hotfix?

Peter Boese

No. these are the inital relase files. You will need to install the hotfix. I will call it bugfix then and the version number will be different to 2.00 then...

Rob PhoboS

Many thanks for replying. Yup I always watch your videos first (unlike many!), and I went straight into the menu's to adjust what I could. I will try to get a screenshot, to see if that helps show you what I mean (if you did any rendering in Maya/3D - it's like having the wrong gamma curve applied when you're working in linear colour space). But hey, it went from 45-ish FPS with LCS to 80fps with LCS v1 :) (impressive!)

lafreu 17

Hey Peter, should I be able to use pure override in an online server while using LCS? Gamma works, but nothing happens with LCS.

E

Absolutely amazing work! Thank you Peter.

lafreu 17

Oh okay thank's peter

Canvas Airbrushing

Hi Peter, thanks for another update. Quick question. When I set weather to rain, I can hear and see all the effects of rain, but i can't see rain drops in the air anymore, nor on the windscreen and wipers don't go on. Tried different cars and tracks. I followed the installation instructions. Have I missed something? Thanks!

Super Assetto Corsa

As I've said ... same result with or without ANY "Stereo Single Pass" active, and anyways "Single Yebis Pass" can't be activated IF "Stereo Single Pass" it's deactivated, in any case, the result are, NO Godrays in FIRST person view, Third person view sometimes you can see some Godrays, all this in VR.

Kata Totoro

Pure LCS has been introduced with skydomes, making it even better. It's now fun to drive and choose the weather.

Joey

I downloaded this and out of habit dragged it to content manager to install. I clicked for it to overwrite existing files and now my game is running terribly. I tried deleting the new pure filter and uninstalling the game but nothing has helped. My frames are much lower and CPU working much harder. I have no idea how to fix it

Joey

i have found that having the content shader pack on at all now is causing the issue. I'm unsure if deleting and reinstalling Pure could help?? if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Peter Boese

Just watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!!!!

Peter Boese

You always need a CSP preview version for rainFX! Have a look at the bottom of the update posts, there is the link.

Samuli Jänis

Amazing work. Which Pure ppfilter you recommend to use?

Peter Boese

PPfilters are very subjective and an individual choice! Start with purre, pureCandy or pureLinear. You can adjust your preferred look in Pure Config app - PP tab with the photo-realistic and soft-look sliders with this 3 ppfilters. But maybe try also other PPfilters from Pure PPfilter modders! It could be you will find your favourite filter there.

craig platts

Really enjoying the pure vr however I can't turn off ai headlights in the day during a quick race.i have unchecked both ai headlights settings in the weather tab shaderpatch but still doesn't turn them off.

Peter Boese

and if you set it to "Headlights Pure" in the headlights control of Pure Config app - AI tab

MurrayCod

Thanks for the amazing work Peter. I've just done a couple of night laps in heavy thunderstorm conditions at Spa in the RSS Aero v10 with LCS selected and the lightning effects are absolutely incredible.

Jose Manuel Abad

Hello Peter, with Pure Gamma everything is perfect, but with Pure LCS the image turns red, I have updated the CSP version, I have deleted the WeatherFX files and I have stopped installing it and it is still the same, I am using VR, what is the problem? Thank you

Peter Boese

Then reinstall CSP. If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Super Assetto Corsa

Even worst, PureLCS Godrays and Glare not working at all, Single Screen nor VR

Peter Boese

We had this case in Pure Discord Server too. Solution was a reset of the CSP settings. So it was caused by a certain CSP settings. Just try to rename the /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/extension folder to something different and restart CM. It will create a blank new one. You could restore it later

ALI AHMED KAMAL

Hello Peter, sorry for the silly question but I am wondering what are the differences between the Pura Gamma and LCS version? As I'm not sure I read anything about them except that the Gamma is "complex weather simulation" as per content manager, thanks in advance for your response and great work!

Andrea Mas

simply the lcs version support linear color shaders, as mentioned in some previous post, that basically help with some compatibility with csp stuff.. sorry too dumb to explain XD I assure you they both look awsome tho edit:check june 9 post, it should explain

『到着』lyric

pure config is bugging, when i open it it says active but it glitches and i cant click it

Peter Boese

Pure is not installed properly then! Please watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!

Marco Rollo

hello peter, i'm reinstalling AC and everything fresh. is it worth (necessary) to installa SOL as well ? maybe some online servers need SOL ? thanks

Manuel Coutinho

Amazing work Peter, thank you very much for your dedication

Jørgen Holtnes

When I select Pure LCS as weather style it doesnt give me the option to use linear color space, i have to select default for that

Geir Antonsen

Its in the name Pure LCS is linear color space :)

Peter Boese

You don't have an option for that with Pure, because Pure Gamma is gamma exclusive and Pure LCS is LCS exclusive!

Peter Boese

NO, you don't need Sol for anything - its obsolete...

Jørgen Holtnes

Okay I see, only thing now is I don’t get rain or snow anymore with lcs. Thanks for the reply!

Peter Boese

There is no snow in CSP for now. You always need a CSP preview version for rain! In the bottom of the post you see the link to CSP Patreon...

Jørgen Holtnes

Okay everything works now, my issue was auto updating. Shaders patch somehow auto updated to an outdated version. I turned that off and installed latest csp. Thanks again for quick reply

Eli bro

My game looks weird when I usr the pure lcs script, shadows become too dark, the lights have problems too, could it be my ppf?

Peter Boese

do you use "pure" ppfilter? You can adjust your preferred look with the "photo-realistic" and "soft-look" slider in Pure Config "PP" tab.

Eli bro

now everything is just b

Eli bro

there is no soft-look slider in my pure

Peter Boese

Maybe use the bug report channel and post a screenshot of the Pure Config app Main and PP tab

Eli bro

where is the channel?

Lord Hotis

I recommend using gamma :/

Illuminate_ gamer

Hello Peter, im not sure whats wrong if its Pure or just my Pc but any time i join an Online server i get low fps like 30 fps and after like 2 minutes my game crashes but in Single player i get about 100 fps and it doesnt crash. Do you know my Problem? Thanks.

ALI AHMED KAMAL

Thanks for the response brother, what I understood from the 9th June post seemed to me like that the LCS version is better, hope I got that right lol

Filip Łukasik

Hello Peter, I've noticed that road studs and road signs don't reflect for me since installing Pure 2.0. I'm running Pure LCS. Any idea how to get them working? CSP ver 0.2.4 Track: Highforce

Marco Rollo

Hi Peter, am’i totally wrong if I say gamma looks better than lcs and it runs smoother too? Running in VR

Peter Boese

Pure LCS runs better than Pure Gamma. The look is subjective. If you like Pure Gamma's look better then it is what you think and this is absolutely fine!!!

Peter Boese

You could try also default weather style. If it happens there too, Pure is not the cause!

Marco Rollo

Maybe it’s a setting I need to change basically lcs looks too bright although I’ve set color to warm

Cristian Badia

Good morning Peter, first of all I would like to thank you for your great work and effort. When LCS came out, for a moment I thought you would throw in the towel, but I was wrong and you have surpassed yourself once again. Congratulations. I was writing to you because I have a problem with the Purelinear PPF configuration not being saved. I modify a parameter and if I restart the track it changes the configuration? I have reinstalled and it is still the same. Any advice? Thank you very much.

Peter Boese

Where do you save the PPfilter configuration? You must save the PPfilter settings in the Pure Config PP tab. Scroll down and there you have the script settings buttons.

Cristian Badia

No, it is not in the PURE settings, it is when editing the PPF, I always have to modify the color range and activate HDR in the same filter and this time it does not save the changes correctly.

Peter Boese

Do you mean the PPfilter editor in-game? If so, do you hit "save" before closing it? Maybe your PPfilter in file is write protected...

Cristian Badia

I save it but if I log out and log back in, the data is not saved as I left it and sometimes instead of your name it says mine and I have not modified anything about my name, could it be a failure reading the saved file or the address of it? I was adjusting it yesterday and it never keeps the configuration I save or it changes it.

Abdelkader Dahmani

Hello Peter, I just installed pure 2.0 and the rain does not work? can you help me? THANKS

Peter Boese

Please look at the Pure development update post and scroll all the way down. There you see the disclaimer about rain.

Abdelkader Dahmani

Thank you very much, sorry I am new to the assetto corsa family and I am learning. It's been 2 days since I started.

Michael Sznytzer

hi Peter Could you or anyone please help me. im trying to adjust the day light multiplier in config first slider in lights but it is locked for some reason is there any way i can get it unlocked as my game is way to bright almost to the point i cant even play it \

Daniel Janev

HI PETER. I have followed all the steps. However when i click on weather fx. PURE doesn't show up. Only SOL which i already have? UPDATE I DOWLOADED IT MANUALLY IT WORKS

Peter Boese

What you mean with "downlaoded it manually"?

Peter Boese

Only a ppfilter + script can do this. Maybe try the pure ppfilters...

Kenneth Yuen

hi peter, I am not getting rain on my windscreen , but I can see rain? My wipers can't be turned on as well?What did I do wrong?

Peter Boese

You always need a CSP preview version for rainFX! Just have a look at the Pure development update post and scroll all the way down. There you see the disclaimer about rain...

Kenneth Yuen

I guess it's the car, I swapped car and it's working now. Btw it only works in single mode, not in online mode, is there a fix?

Peter Boese

On servers, the server is the weather master. So you need servers which do rain weather!

Kenneth Yuen

Thank you Peter...thks for the great work, keep it up.

Sean Doran

Thank you for what you do Peter. Absolutely amazing.

Remy de Bruijn

Great update again Peter! Although there is one small issue that occurs to me in LCS. I cannot make the ideal line visible enough. In Gamma version I can make it brighter by adjusting the slider for UI whitepoint whereas in LCS I can set to the highest level and still the raceline is barely visible. Although I don't use it myself I would like to make the line visible for racers in my sims who will need the line. Hope you can help, thanks in advance!

Jerry

Hi Peter! Just wanted to ask if there is a reason why my in-game visuals are so dark on default settings (regardless of filter used) when applying the LCS preset compared to when I use the Pure Gamma? Many thanks in advance! 🙂

Peter Boese

Check your exposure multiplier. PageUp/Down keys. It should be 100%

DevOps_DAddy

Hi Peter! Is there a FAQ that I can view? I am unable to see any weather effects (such as rain). I've installed the latest version of Pure 2.00, I have weather controller set to Pure LCS, and I have installed the latest version of CSP (0.2.4). I even did the manual install of CSP (download zip, extract to AC root)

Peter Boese

Please read the Pure development update post, scroll all the way down. There you will see the disclaimer about rain and you see the link to CSP Patreon to get a CSP preview version to have rain....

DevOps_DAddy

Thank you so very much! I apologize for not reading thoroughly.

Peter A Krause

Hi Peter! Thanks for all your incredible work. I absolutely love the way the color comes through when using Pure LCS plus the pureLinear PP filter. The only minor disappointment, for me, is that under this setup, I don't get the sunblinding effect in VR. I do seem to get it when in flat screen mode. I also get it in VR if I use the straight Pure PP filter. Is this expected behavior?

Peter Boese

Do you use Single Pass Stereo mode in VR tweaks. NVidia VRS must be active. AND all settings in CSP graphics adjustments Far and Near planes must be default!!! Esp the VR far and near planes!

Juan Diego Vélez González

Idk what happened but then it started working properly, LCS runsa little bit better than gamma, thanks for answering tho. Incredible mod

Jerry

Thanks for the advice! Weirdly I loaded it up with the last filter I was using previously and without making any changes the colour is back to normal! Will check it out in VR when I get the chance!😁

Daniel Janev

I dowloaded it dirrectly in CM

Daniel Janev

But i avrage 12 fps so i wont be using it.Its great but my pc cant support it

Max S

Do we have to use SPS? It tanks performance for me on varjo aero 4090 rig instead of improving

Peter A Krause

Hi Peter, I appreciate the reply. I am playing on SPS. As it happens, I had disabled VRS and I had also tweaked the clipping planes. However, re-enabling VRS and resetting the Graphics Adjustments tab to default values still didn't bring back sunblinding.

Peter Boese

No you don't have to use SPS, but it should work too in SPS mode.

Peter Boese

In the upcoming Pure 1.10 bugix release, the sunblinding shader works a lot better and will work in all screen modes and VR modes properly!

andrea calabria

Hi..where Is the last pure ? Lcs or 2.0?this Is compatibile whit csp 1.8 preview? I have this because for me Is best

RiZou71

Both are present in this update. And CSP 0.2 for Gamma and CSP 0.2.3 for LCS are required.

Peter Boese

No, just read the post, you need at least CSP 0.2.3p211 for LCS

andrea calabria

ok thanks..no then I'll keep it as I have it..I tried various csps after the 1.80 I don't like how the rain looks on the asphalt..and the graphics on the tires change.. thanks a lot compliments for the work you do

Hofmann Christian

Hi Peter, again, thank you so much for your genial product. I am enjoing very much. In the dark I get violet to red streaks over the sky both in LCS and in gamma, but only in the VR-Headset (Pimax Crystal), not visible on the screen. On the screen everything is ok. It apperas mostly with dry conditions, when the sky ist very dark to black. No change if I set local dimming to different settings, so it has nothing to do with the headset itself.

Matt Marantz

Hi Peter- I am wondering why cars ahead exhaust flames are green? Like when transmission backfires, the flames are always green. Do I have something set wrong? Otherwise, this is so incredible! Looks like a brand new game to me in HDR. Really can’t beat it.

Matt Marantz

Turn off Extra FX in Content Manager. You don’t really need them to enjoy the custom shaders patch. Easily more than doubled the FPS on my system. Also try running in lower resolution and scale to your screen size. For example I run in 1440, runs much better than 4k.

Jonathan Thomson

Thanks for the great work Peter! I had a couple questions about Sunrays. I noticed they don't seem to work for Pure LCS, only Pure Gamma. Additionally, my sunrays flicker quite a lot, even with no clouds setting and car stationary. Perhaps it's not a sunray issue but something else. Interested in your thoughts about this. Thanks again for the amazing work.

Peter Boese

Please have a look at your CSP graphics adjustments, the far and near plane settings should be default. Right click them to reset them to default...

Fluf

Hi Peter im having an issue with weather fx, I install pure and csp but no weather fx script?

Peter Boese

If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it and go into the Pure ..... folder. mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the "Extract" button and select the AC root folder.

Chim57

Hi Peter and thanks for your hard work ! Do you have made some hotfixes for lcs because there is some posts on reddit or video on youtube telling about lcs 1.02 version ....? ( sorry for my english, french user )

BearFoot

same problem here, only 3 folders, no system folder :(

Algir2liz Nwm

I love that lcs and how its look now ^^

Nicolas Hanset

Thanks for the amazing work once again !

lkspulkkin

Looks great but I have a huge problem with Pure anti aliasing, especially in VR. I run 4000x4000 per eye (with 4xmsaa) to get super clear picture. However, Pure seems to force FXAA (or something similar) on native resolution of the headset (2k per eye) which completely ruins the clarity. This only happens when I enable Pure, regardless of settings. Any way to fix this?

Peter Boese

Pure does not force such things. It is a weatherFX script and does not force video settings.

lkspulkkin

Thanks for the reply! For some reason selecting Pure in weatherFX does this to me (without any other adjustments) and I cannot find a way around (does not happen with Default / SOL). Selecting any other option other than pure solves the issue immediately. But it then has to be something else in my setup / settings that does not work nicely with Pure. It is a shame, the visuals look otherwise great especially with LCS.

kwacker132

Hi Peter, I'm driving 1991 or 1992 Formula 1 cars on Pyyer 2024 tracks. When I enable LCS, all the cars have their rain lights on. When I enable Gamma they don't. Same time, 2:00pm with scattered clouds, no weather planner and the PureCandy PP filter. Any ideas? Thanks.

Peter Boese

This will be solved with the upcoming Bugfixes update soon. You can just open Pure Config app for now. That will activate the headlights control. The update will activate it in the background without opening the app...

xinnam0n

Hi Peter, thanks for you genuine effort for the Pure project. I am not sure if this issue come from my settings but some of my refraction and relfection configs do not seem to be working, and lighting becomes a bit odd too. Is there any quick fix to it? Or should I roll back to 1.45 as it worked fine before the update?

Peter Boese

It would be very productive if you show screenshots of what is not working. Maybe also better you use the Pure Discord Server then for such detailed things...

Pase Proaste

For me its way clearer and stable AA with Gamma instead of LCS

spukee

My Pure config in-game only has options to Load/Save/Export - all other options missing. Anyone else having this issue? I have done an uninstall - reinstall of Pure LCS 1.1 - still the same issue. I did not have this issue with LCS 1.0.

Adam Trowers

All works great in VR etc. The sky is awesome, good job!

Porta

Go to your CSP settings -> Particle FX -> New flames. Check if debug mode is enabled. If it is, uncheck it.

Peter Boese

I found an error with the sunblinding shader sadly. In cockpit view everything is fine, but not for external cameras in VR. BUT i fixed it and it will be even better then. comes soon with a hotfix...

Gustavo Galhardo Figueiredo

I have an enormous loss of fps (about 30-40%) when moving from 2.0 to 2.10. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I went back to 2.0 for now.Nonetheless, Peter Boese, congratulations for the outstanding work! You deserve a senior job at Kunos!

TheNepharim

first of all, thank you very much for your work !!! Idownloaded the 2.1 Version ,installed the 2.1 package, then I used the unistall pure Batch, after that I copied the apps, content, extension, sytem folders into the assetto corsa root folder, when I started a benchmark via content manager (at this time I used a customized PP Filter as well as lcs) , the game crashed , the error pointed out to the installed csp 0.25 (actual one), the whole pc stopped responding, after a reboot, I restarted a benchmark (this time with gamma and one of the pure PPFs, same result, game crashed with csp error, but system was responsible, well at least I de-installed Pure 2.1 with the uninstall batch, then reinstalled pure 2.0, after that , I just copied the apps, extension,content,system folder of pure 2.1 manually into assetto Corsa Root folder , overwrote the existing files, after that gamma and lcs was actual iaw. Content Manager and AC runs smooth now, also with customized ppf. I just wanted to inform everyone, in case they are facing this issue like me. AC runs well now, looks really nice with LCS as well as with Gamma settings. I did notice any low fps at the moment, regardless of 1st oder 3rd person view, all stable for me

Deschman

Same here. Crashes on Start :(

Peter Boese

Does it still crash with default weather style at start?

Deschman

Default works. CSP2.5 Installed.

Peter Boese

Do you have WinRAR? Open the Pure zip with it and go into the Pure ... folder. Mark the 4 folders apps, content, extensio and system. Press the "Extract" button and select the AC root folder...

Deschman

Sorry, wrong chat. Pervious Setup was CSP2.5 + Pure 2.0. After that i have uninstalled pure with the containd .bat. Than I have extracted the new pure wersion into the AC folder (4 folders).

Peter Boese

Better you come to Pure Discord then. We need to check some things, Not really possible here.

Deschman

I am busy. Try to find the Discord Server after lunch

Deschman

Just for info. Pure 2.1 + CSP 0.2.4 works fine. Just 0.2.5 crashes.

Gustavo Galhardo Figueiredo

I didn't see a red dot, but the Pure 2.10 Hot fix 1 did the job! High FPS are back again. Thank you Peter.

Jose Manuel Abad

Hello Peter, everything is pretty good in LCS except when I put traffic with the traffic planer, all the cars are white.... it's a minor problem but realism is lost, thanks for your time

Peter Boese

Ah, please reset your CSP settings. Goto Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg and rename the extension folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a blank new one and you can restore it later.

Kata Totoro

It's truly amazing. The clouds in the sky, the wind, the thunder, the rainbow - everything has evolved so realistically. Thank you for the wonderful work.

Dale Ballweg

These newest updates have truly transformed this game visually. It was never bad but it now is just another level. Thank you so much for your HIGH quality work!

Stan Johnson

This is the best in VR that it has ever been and it was great before this update. Frametimes both CPU and GPU have never been lower or steadier and the visuals are as sharp and clear as anything I have seen. Thanks

Peter Boese

Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip and extract the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder.

Bill Bradley Yangco

oh wait, looks like the inside of the car is wet, is that normal?

zonsi

a cant activate pure when i click the green button activate pure there is a pop up about stroboscopic effects and there are 3 options but when i click on one of them nothing happens please help

Peter Boese

It's not installed properly then. How did you install it?

byWolf Assetto Corsa

I dont know if its only my issue but when I turn on LCS pure, all car paints with "Material_CarPaint_Metallic" in ext_config turns the clearcoat into gray-ish color. with slight hint of a color... I would rather send u a screenshot but I dont know if I can do it right here...

kraken

rain fx not working i turned it on but i dont see the raindrops but i can hear it

Peter Boese

You always need a CSP preview version for rainFX. You see a link to CSP Patreon page m the bottom of the Pure development update post. If you already have a CSP preview: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip and extract the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder.

Gerrick Schmidt

Anyone else have a blank Pure Config? I only have the Save Load export etc etc

Gerrick Schmidt

ran the uninstall batch, Manually dropped folders. I get a glimpse of the settings when i allowed flash effects, then instantly just had the save load buttons visible...???

Gerrick Schmidt

I have this asl well, i get a glimpse of the settings when i load my config but then it just shows the Load save import export buttons

Gerrick Schmidt

disregard, I found the hotfix. Had to dig through the comments

Alex Polyakov

some odaer car mods do it, we need to get the next lights patch, hopefully it will be fixed by then

Ashton Behrens

who is the person on your profile picture?

Nathan Mellin

What pp filter do you use please

spukee

Thanks heaps Peter!

Diego Perez

Hi Peter, thanks a lot for all your hard work to bring us all the Pure goodies to LCS. LCS has something, how it treats light and colors in general, I like more than Gamma, the world look more real and I think this is only the beginning. Besides it looks stunning in VR and all these code optimizations are very welcome. The only but that I can tell you is, in some weather conditions, it looks a little dark, nothing that can't be solved by raising the brightness a touch or two.

LUTFI ASTANTO

hi Peter thank you for the update, I've installed pure as from the video tutorial and now using Pure LCS, however on the bright part like sun and headlamp and highlight it appeared a black pixel, could you help me what might causing this? thanks. i have screenshot but don't know how to post it

Peter Boese

what about gamma in PP adjustments in Pure Config "PP" tab or some parameter in the tonemapping adjustments.

Peter Boese

Which CSP version do you use? In older verions it was related to extraFX and TAA.

elmer henriquez

Im not getting any rain at all, I know you dont this come with rain but is the CSP at fault here

dez brwn

i cannot find the install file on winrar help pls

Peter Boese

there is no installer! Go into the Pure ... folder, mark the 4 folder apps, content, extension and system. Press the "Extract" button and select the AC root folder.

Peter Boese

If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Stan Johnson

I am using the PureVR filter with the Gamma weatherFX and highRes clouds stock out of the box settings for the most part

Cyborg M

Which is better as graphic LCS or Gamma? thx

Peter Boese

Try both. LCS is just at its introduction. It has better colors but the CSP LCS shaders have some issues. But you should try both...

ALI AHMED KAMAL

Sorry for the late reply, really appreciate the detailed response! Thanks

wavy cheese yt

Im on the prue config but everytime I click "activate it with full flashing effects" it doesnt do anything expect say ''config file'' saved, How do I fix it?

mkay_sg

Hey Peter, thanks so much for your works and contributions to the AC community. Would just like to check - when I use CM -> Pure -> Windy weather, there's a weird schrodinger situation where its raining but not visible to the player, and it makes AI cars actually pit to Wet tyres. I can see rain drops on the screen (like the trailing droplets if its raining), as well as rain in the virtual rear view mirror, but the sky is sunny in the main POV. Windy is included in the Random Dry option, so I'm not sure if this is expected behavior. Just wondering if this has been reported before. Thanks!

Peter Boese

Go to settings in Pure Planner and select the weather presets tab. There reset to defaults. In former versions Windy had a little chance for rain. The default should remove that. Otherwise you can select Windy there and remove the probability.

Peter Boese

Sounds it is not installed properly then. If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure ... folder and mark the folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Gregory Pruitt

Hello sir. I am about to install Pure 1.7 along with LCS 1.1. I have CSP 0.1.79 (Recommended). The instruction graphic says that I need CSP 0.2.3. In CSP it says that 0.2.3 is untested. Is an untested version of CSP a potential problem? Also, should I uninstall the previous version of Pure (Pure 0.238 Highres) before installing Pure 1.7?

Peter Boese

The status "recommend" or "tested" is no longer updated. So if you would wait for a approved tested and recommend version of CSP, you could wait forever.

Gregory Pruitt

Thanks for your reply. I will then use version 0.2.3 of CSP as recommended here for Pure 1.7 and LCS 1.1. Do I need to uninstall my current version of Pure before installing Pure 1.7 and LCS 1.1?

Gregory Pruitt

Thanks for your reply. So, do I need to uninstall my current version of Pure before installing 1.7 along with LCS 1.1

Peter Boese

For Pure LCS 1.1 you will need at least CSP 0.2.3p211 so if you want to use the free version you would need to instal CSP 0.2.4

Sebastián Urbano Valdevenito

Hi Peter, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to ask you about the "HORIZON_OFFSET" option, under Standard Track Adaptations, in the Track tab of Pure Config. I don't know if it's because of some setting I have wrong or it's because of the PPFilters (I've tried several with the same result), but no matter how much I increase or decrease the value of this option, it always automatically reverts to the default (0). Is this supposed to be the case or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for your answer.

Peter Boese

This is a track related settings. So actually it is meant, that a track config holds this. But if you want to use this, you need to save it for the track via the save buttons below. "Save custom track settings"

Sebastián Urbano Valdevenito

Yes, I understand that the setting needs to be saved so it is maintained the next time the track is loaded, and also that it is a setting that is made for each track independently. My problem is that when using the slider to adjust the value, releasing the click automatically returns it to its original value (0). The same thing happens if I do Ctrl + click to enter a value with the keyboard, pressing enter automatically returns it to its original value (0). I don't know if I explain myself, maybe I can post a video on discord where the problem is shown?

Robert Wigley

please help, cm keeps rebooting my pc evertime i start a race.

Peter Boese

Reset CSP settings completely! Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later.

LUTFI ASTANTO

previously use 0.2.4 preview, after using latest version, now it's worked. Thanks Peter

Peter Boese

Yes, this is intended. The value is set then in the track's config.

leglaude robert

Hello ! Since the update (2.0 to 2.1), the "performance test" video is crashing ; with Pure LCS and Pure Gamma (whatever the PP filter), In game it seems to be good (didn't play, just launched several race and it works). Have a good day ;)

Peter Boese

You mean the AC "Benchmark"? If you switch the "default" weather style in weatherFX, does it also crash?

Markus Möller

Also ACS crashing here while performing the benchmark. But default weather works fine. Oh, and I recognized sensor dust spots on texture 174645428.

Peter Boese

Does it still crash with the default weather style or with default CSP settings? Reset CSP settings completely! Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later.

Gregory Pruitt

Peter, thank you for your reply. Before I install Pure 1.17 along with LCS 1.1, do I need to uninstall my current version of Pure?

Peter Boese

You would need to delete that line in the track config. Then you can set it in Pure Config

muhammad ibadil

when I select the weatherFX menu to change it to pure as in the video tutorial, but the option to select pure lcs or pure gamma is not available, is there a solution?

Regime.

Hi! i was trying to install the new sky gt 2 filter and it was said that i had to download the pure 2.0 hotfix, could you please help me find where the download file is? Thanks! Sorry im pretty new to this

Markus Möller

As I mentioned, the benchmark works fine with default weather. And I also wiped my extension folder (which I always do when problems occur). CM shows up the following error message: 00007FFEE0664D75 (DWrite): (filename not available): DWriteCreateFactory 00007FFEE062FC22 (DWrite): (filename not available): DWriteCreateFactory 00007FFEE062D19A (DWrite): (filename not available): DWriteCreateFactory AC\game.cpp (126): Game::onIdle AC\game.cpp (210): Game::run AC\acs.cpp (477): wWinMain f:\dd\vctools\crt\crtw32\dllstuff\crtexe.c (618): __tmainCRTStartup 00007FFF6BEC257D (KERNEL32): (filename not available): BaseThreadInitThunk 00007FFF6C78AF28 (ntdll): (filename not available): RtlUserThreadStart I could also send you the log file, if it helps

muhammad ibadil

Can you help me to solve the problem when I want to choose pure config in the game. When I try to click the stroboscopic settings it doesn't do anything. How do I fix this?

Peter Boese

It's not installed properly then. If you have WinRAR, please open the Pure zip with it and go into the Pure.... folder. Mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the "Extract" button and select the AC root folder.

leglaude robert

I have the french version, I don't know if it's the "benchmark" -> it's the test in the AC video settings. No crash with default (and SOL, and Simpleppoff) ; just with Gamma and LCS. -> I have already tried to rename the "extension" folder ; it didn't fix the problem

Arda Gurcuoglu

Hi Peter. Do we need the hotfixes for this version?

Adam Ezra

Not getting the Weather style options for Pure Gamma or LCS. Last version worked with an installer. Copy and paste to AC root folder doesnt work.

AkaSenT0

can i use pure weather on my server and will my friend be able to see it if he has it?

Aaron Purnell

Is it possible to get the weather slider during a championship? for some reason it works in the drive mode but if i do a championship i cant seem to use it... Any help would GREATLY be appreciated... looks INCREDIBLE though !!!!

Dennis Mart

hi, I'm really NEW to this, i followed your video to install Pure, using CM 0.23, but i couldnt select Weather in CM Drive menu, and when i tested it in hotlap, first the sky was pitch black, then uninstall Sol, setup everything again, then went to hotlap to test again, the screen becomes red. need a guide pls

Peter Boese

Please just follow the steps in the video exactly! Don't select "ideal condition" or "real condition" in CM Drive menu. The weather drop down is then grayed out.

Peter Boese

Did you read the careers and championships PDF? It is in the Pure zip.

Peter Boese

Pure is only on the client side. So the weather is set by the server. If you both have Pure you will see the same...

Peter Boese

If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Peter Boese

If you experience a problem with Pure Config with Pure 2.1, please install the Hotfix 1.

Peter Boese

Please watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!

Kenneth Yuen

I am having the exact same problem, is there a fix yet?

Peter Boese

Sorry, but I can't reproduce this bug. Please try to reinstall Pure. If you have WinRAR, please open Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Kenneth Yuen

Hi Peter. After upgrading to Pure 2.0 (hotfix), everytime when I perform a benchmark test, the game crashes. No problem while playing single or online. It's just the benchmark that doesn't work. Is this a known problem?. I tried to remane the folder , but doesn't seems to work.

Peter Boese

If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Basil Khan

hi peter I am new, I just wanted to say that in your YouTube video I see that you downloaded PURE 0.254 but for me it says 2.10 , am I in the wrong post or did u change the name? please do let me know as I am not familiar with patreon.

Peter Boese

And could you please test, if you switch to default weather style in weatherFX and set "linear color space" option, does it still crash?

Kenneth Yuen

I extracted the Pure Zip to the AC root folder as you indicated above and it is now wokring fine. Thanks alot

Kenneth Yuen

I tried, it doesnt crash with default, only crashes with either LCS / Gamma

Peter Boese

Its all ok, the video just shows the install of an older version. But the install is the same for all versions of Pure. So you have the most recent version and you can use this video to install it...

Aaron Purnell

Ahhhhhhh yes !!!!!!!! Thank you !!!! you caught me being lazy my friend lol really appreciate it

andrea calabria

hi peter..in your opinion which more stable version of csp should I use? 2.3 or 2.5...and which more stable version of pure should I use? what is the difference between pure and lcs?

Peter Boese

Just try CSP 0.2.4 / 0.2.5p1 with Pure LCS 1.1 Pure Gamma uses the CSP Gamma shaders. Pure LCS uses the CSP LCS shaders (Linear Color Space) Original AC rendering is using gamma color space. There the tones are already compressed to achieve a simpler rendering without tonemapping. It works ok in a defined range, but it is not possible of advanced rendering. So in CSP LCS shaders were introduced to be able to correctly render lighting. But therefore the weather script (which defines the lighting) must be rewritten. So i splitted Pure into Pure Gamma (the old way of doing graphics) and Pure LCS (the new way of doing graphics)

andrea calabria

having a pure version 1.90 (because I currently have csp.180) do I first have to uninstall pure in the general folder of the racing asset before dragging the new folders of the new pure?

ClassyTricky

hi so i am testing out the new lcs, and there are often wihite lines or small glitches, in replays or when the car is far and coming closer. is htis a bug on my part or just how lcs looks right now?

Jose Vasquez

Hi, so for LCS 1.10 using Pure HDR filter, i have these white square dots mesh pattern on the darkest spots of the screen. And on night times they are highly visible and very noticeable on the screen. They show up on PUREHDR CANDY and PURE, but they disappear on Linear. Also HDR GAMMA works fine, no white blocks on screen. I will use Gamma for now even though i prefer LCS for the fog feature but HDR has a problem with the meshy like white blocks on the screen when dark. If anyone has a solution or similar problem, let me know what i can fix.

Peter Boese

Could be a CSP option what cause this...

andrea calabria

how do I do it with pure planner..if I set the rain, set the difficulty to easy..as if you were running on dry ground..in sol planner there was this option..

Peter Boese

Just reduce wetness in Pure Planner. Click a weather slot and then the data tab.

Peter Boese

I don't know what you mean. Please make a video or screenshots.

Akira Kir

Hi Peter, I'm having the same issue, this version of Pure crases benchmark for some reason throwing this ```00007FFF4D01257D (KERNEL32): (filename not available): BaseThreadInitThunk 00007FFF4E1CAF28 (ntdll): (filename not available): RtlUserThreadStart```

Delivery Depo

thank you 4 the update please bring back "contrails" into the skydome! they looked real

Peter Boese

Just open the post by clicking on the title or the "Show more" link. Then please watch the install video!

leglaude robert

I have reinstalled, nothing changed. Not a big deal anyway, just reporting for information

Izzat K

Appreciate your hard work man, AC isn't the same without this!

Completed the installation. This game lives on.. and on.. and on - mostly to the mods we see being applied by you and Ilja. Thanks for the comprehensive guides and ongoing work!

Hi, i have problem with headlights light, its seems like there is almost no difference when they are off or on :/

alguien sabe a que mod pertenece el exeso de fisicas cuando frenas y aceleras y el conductor se inclina hacia adelante y hacia atras?

Peter Boese

I think you mean "neckFX", its a CSP modul

Ali Said

I have a problem where im stuck on the warning page and 3 options about pure's lightning to choose but whenevr i click an option nothing happens and the window keeps flickering, it flickers to a tab saying pure script not running and flickers back, also fps goes down to 15

주찬 강

pure config app broke when i export pure config as ppfilter related config. all adjustable tabs disappear.

Peter Boese

Sorry, will be fixed at Monday with some more Bugfixes...

Peter Boese

It is not install properly then... If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Hi, does lowres skydomes save me some vrams?

andrea calabria

peter what is the most updated pure that I can use with the csp 1.8 preview (I'm keeping that one because it's the one I like the most) if I put the pure 2.00 on the csp 1.8 but I use sol planner..pure 2.0 config works or not?

Peter Boese

Reset CSP settings completely! Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later.

tonytaylor25

is there a reason i have rain sound effects but no visual rain ? im running 0.2.5 csp

RiZou71

The answer is no. We gain nothing or not much in terms of FPS. Peter gave the explanation but I don't remember the details

Peter Boese

Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder and reinstall CSP preview

kenny moss

Hi Peter. When I open the Pure config and choose to use all strobe effects after I do I just get a screen with load , save,export ect and no options to change anything. Any help please. Many thank. Tried uninstalling and installing again but still the same. Have latest CSP and running Pure Gamma.

Ali Said

It worked thank you so much

tigerbalm

I'm running .0.2.4, but in Weather FX under "Weather Style", there is NO Pure Gamma or LCS to select!!!! Help, thx!

Peter Boese

It is not install properly then... If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Stephen De Tomasi

Just an FYI Peter, you can make the downloadable archive much smaller by using 7Zip with LZMA2 + Ultra compression. Windows 11 now supports 7z archives, no extra software required. I just tried re-archiving with these settings and got the file down from 3.5GB to 2.6GB. Proof: https://i.imgur.com/aBKQ5CT.jpeg

Peter Boese

I had 7zip before, and yes its better. BUT! all the trouble started with Windows Defender which marked the Pure 7z archive as a trojan. Only MS Defender did this and it was a support hell to tell the people there is no trojan in it. Many people have MS Defender activated and i don't trust it Also not all of the people have Windows 11 and not all have the latest updates. I have to think for all people, otherwise it will cause a tremedous support work to find proplems. So i stick with the safest option available, because i like to do the support, but therefore i need to limit the possible errors.

Sebastian Erdmann

Hello, in the „drive“ tab I can‘t change weather. It is set to random. i‘m on csp 0.2.4 and weather fx is set to gamma. Any ideas?

Peter Boese

Are you able to open the weather selection or is it greyed out?

Sebastian Erdmann

Wow that was simple, sorry for bothering you. It works now😅

Peter Boese

Hey, i tried it and it actually caused an error on my spare Windows 11 test OS. So Windows has a problem to unpack a zip compressed by 7zip with LZMA Ultra.

Stephen De Tomasi

That's odd, no issues compressing or decompressing here? In both 7zip and Windows File Manager. I just checked on my old Win10 system no issues there either. Maybe check that the path isn't too long or that you're not running out of RAM, some of the default settings are a bit RAM hungry

Peter Boese

Sure, but is already a sign for me that there could be a possible error and i have to multiply such probability times 10. So for now i use the bigger files size and i'm sure it will work everywhere, But i will definitely stay on this thing to get the download smaller.

Peter Boese

But hey, i was able to reduce the file size about 200 MB with 7zip and Deflate64 method, which also works in my Win11 test OS

Marco

Thank you?! It helped!

Reset your CSP settings. Goto Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ and rename the extension folder to something different. You can restore it later. It will create a new extension folder if you restart CM. Set Pure as weather style again in weatherFX settings.

Peter Boese

Please watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!

Bazzite

¿Whats the difference between 2.10 and 2.15? Because its the same post

Peter Boese

- More bugfixes - Sunblinding shader: completely reworked, works now in all screen modes and ALL VR modes properly! Better visuals, more controls in its shader settings. - Config: fixed some bugs, added videomode + track related config system I highlighted it in the "Whats fixed" section.

John Gamston

can someone tell me how to have light mist on the track with sunny or part cloudy skies, instead of foggy skies as the standard preset?

Peter Boese

Just use Pure Planner and set higher humidity and a bit of mist in the weather slot / data page

leglaude robert

This update (2.1 to 2.15) have fixed the benchmark issue (crashing) ; now all is working fine, thanks a lot, have a good day !

Jan Van de Vliet

When using pure 2.15 LCS icw csp 0.2.5 preview 1, when setting rain conditions, there's a dry spot under all cars. Any way to solve this? On Gamma all is ok.

Fatih Erdem

I installed 2.1 yesterday and was curious about why it crashes. This clears things up.

Peter Boese

Does this update solves the crash for you too?

Jan Van de Vliet

I'm using default pure filter as c13aegis produces some weird colours (still need to check the installation instructions on their discord channel for that :-))

Peter Boese

Could you show a screenshot with this dry spot. Do you mean a dry spot from rain? If so, its a CSP thing then....

Peter Boese

Pure can't really do things there. Is it the same with default weather style and linear color space active?

Jan Van de Vliet

Ah yes, my mistake, I did test with default weather style but without lcs active. Indeed, same issue with default weather style, so not related to pure. Apologies, should have tested the correct scenario ;-)

MaxFrames

So let's add this to the ever growing list of bugs of CSP's LCS... which made me go back to Gamma for the time being (plus other decisions...)

Peter Boese

But it only happens with LCS or also in Gamma?

Peter Boese

Because i don't have the problem in LCS. Not with extraFX and not without extraFX: https://www.screenpresso.com/=asHwf https://www.screenpresso.com/=i5zPc So it might be bound to a CSP settings. Could you just test and reset your CSP settings? Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later.

Alex H

I seem to be getting stutters when playing in VR after updating today. Can I get a copy of 2.1 please?

Alex H

Problem solved! Nice one mate!

Finn Dog

Hi Peter, any advice to try and get a stable frame rate in VR. I’ve quite a decent system and had no issues up until the last two releases but now what ever I try it still goes up and down from 60-80 fps and is slightly worse on LCS? Thank you

Peter Boese

Is it different with default weather style and LCS option active?

Finn Dog

Yes I’ve reset CSP which gave me the default weather and it runs fine then. The only way I can get decent stable FPS with Gamma/LCS is turning off MSAA in video settings. Thanks

Jan Van de Vliet

indeed seems to be related to a csp setting. Will re-enable options until I get to the one causing the problem. So not related to pure, but indeed csp related. Thx! EDIT: it's SSLR. Disabling this fixes it. But that's for now a dealbreaker to me, so off to gamma... Thanks for pointing me into the right direction

eagletrippin

Sorry, I've been out of the loop since the end of last year; just rejoined the AC modding... So, which is the best looking, best performing? Pure Gamma, or Pure LCS???

Alexis Desjardins

Noob beginner:Is there a way to have the same preset than default (csp)with pure (drive section and csp). I want something more simple but I want to benefit of pure lcs. When I set up clear with pure on the drive menu, I got way to much light and sun. . I found the default in csp is the best for me but I want a bit more of sun and extra.

Peter Boese

Open Pure Config in-game and switch to the ligth tab. There you can change all lighting parameters

Peter Boese

Looking is subjective - But Pure LCS performs the best. Its also the most recent development. It is build for efficiency. LCS is a better way to calculate lighting. So CSP introduced those LCS shaders and Pure LCS is now using them.

eagletrippin

Thank you for clarifying. Incredible work, as always❤️

Zbigniew

Just installed the new Pure LCS and as I look at sky the sun is black

Peter Boese

Please update CSP to the newest version. This is a bug with extraFX TAA and it is solved in the newest version. If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

andrea calabria

hi Peter..I don't understand what I have to do to make pure lcs or pure normal work in custom championship..

andrea calabria

How can I save the settings of pure planner so that at each race the time starts as I created the boxes? in sol planner I ticked the box, it became red and so it started

andrea calabria

Non credo tu abbia capito bene la domanda...

eagletrippin

I think...that I still like Gamma better than LCS?🤔 Is it just me, or are the God-rays more visible in Gamma? Or am I missing the option in LCS?

Peter Boese

Those are different with the sunblinding shader in Gamma. BUT in Gamma those are using many additional render passes and therefore they are not compatible with some screen modes in VR and therefore those are causing way more fps drop then Pure LCS. In Pure LCS those are very efficient and the graphics are rendered with less passes in the sunblinding shader. You can just try to boost godrays with the godrays slider in Pure Config PP tab - PP adjustments group.

eagletrippin

@peterboase - Thank you for the instructions. I am probably doing something wrong/missing something. But I spent a good 30 minutes or so using LCS and pureLinear & pureCandy ppf, blasting the godrays up and adjusting various other settings, but I just can't get the godrays to show. But in Gamma + pureCandy, the godrays just pour in, even at fairly low settings, it's as if god himself is speaking to me, lol. It would be nice having the extra 4-5 fps in performance using LCS, but if not I really like the image quality in Gamma.

andrea calabria

boss...I don't understand what I have to do when I create custom leagues..does it work normally even setting and even planne lcs or even standard? or do I have to do something to make it work in custom leagues?

Peter Boese

Are "Sunrays" active in AC video settings?

andrea calabria

no no...i do custom championships in single player! i don't play online..i read that you have to do something to make pure or lcs work in custom championships??

Peter Boese

You can just set a weather like before now.

eagletrippin

Yes, absolutely. I can make the sunrays really intense under Gamma...just not LCS.

Martin Šimša

Hello, I am new to AC modes and I know it is probably my mistake but UI of Pure doesnt work in game and also I can not select controler as weather option could someone possibly help me thanks.

Peter Boese

Did you watch the install video? Please follow the steps exactly. For Pure installation: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Martin Šimša

Dont know what i did worng but now its working so thank you ?

Fede Grmek

hey, i got a problem, when i start with a rain setting it inmediatly stops idk why, i got pure and csp premium haha

German Dopazo

No me anda la lluvia en esta actualización,alguno sabe cómo hacerla funcionar ? La única forma que tengo de hacerla andar en con el csp 1.79 pero si pongo eso no corre la actualización .

Peter Boese

Actually CSP 0.1.79 is too old for the latest Pure. Also for rain you need a CSP preview version! You get it from Ilja Jusupovs Patreon page.

German Dopazo

Muchas gracias ! Puedes enviarme el link de descarga del csp donde funciona la lluvia en la última actualización de pure?

Luca Bertozzi

So the last hotfix is related to 2.15 and not 2.16, right?

Peter Boese

Yes, it does not matter if you install the Hotfix over 2.16. it contains the same files. The Hotfix is only for people who have the 2.15 version.

German Dopazo

Si la lluvia funciona en el csp 1.79 debería funcionar en el 2.23 también?

Peter Boese

You need a CSP preview version for rain. If you have a CSP preview, install it manually. Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip and extract the drwite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder.

xavier armstrong

my pure config says "pp filter has no script" it does it no matter the filter

robert wilson

do not see the option to change weather fx style

Peter Boese

Then it is not installed properly. Please watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!

Peter Boese

Maybe it is not installed properly. If you have WinRAR, open the zip with it and go into the Pure folder. Then select the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system and press the Extract button. Then select your AC root folder.

HUBR

what is this sunblinding shader mentioned in screenshot 3?

Peter Boese

Its an internal shader in Pure which imitates a blinding effect. It gains tonal dynamic and adds a blinding area. You don't have this effect in standard AC/CSP.

Robert Savoy

when i put on LCS the clouds mess up. gamma works fine. but on lcs when i change the cloud to normal from 16k the sky renders but dosent look like its working very well. can i get some help here? im in VR with quest 3 using. im using the version just before the rally was released. am i suppose to be using PureVR filter? please help

Spaceshark

for pure LCS, should I use the pure or pureLinear pp filter?

AN TO

where is the download link?

Peter Boese

You can use any PPfilter with Pure LCS. PPfilters are like beer or whine. Just start with the Pure PPfilters pure, pureCandy or pureLinear. pure is the standard PPfilter and very balanced. pureCandy is for more visual effects. pureLinear is for the best color reproduction but therefore it is darker. But there are many other PPfilters you could like better...

Peter Boese

You are actually posting this question in the chat of the update post. Please read the post and watch the install video.

Si erra

I'm currently using Pure Gamma, and when I go into the game, the frame doesn't go up more than 20. The graphics card and CPU are using 70%, 30% share, but I don't think the graphics are very good compared to Gamma to use LCS, and can I fix the frame issue? And what is the key to opening the configuration app?

Jaxon

where are the download links

Sosman

Just under where it says in green DOWNLOAD LINKS, you have to choose either PURE 2.16 Highres or Lowres

Justin thompson

Hi Peter, I've run into an issue on a handful of tracks where the skyboxes seem to be slightly glitched. Essentially most of the sky will look normal but there will be one large rectangular area typically that is just bright glowing whit where there is no texture. Not sure if this is an issue that's been brought up already or not, if so do you have any suggestions to fix this? Thank you.

Peter Boese

Please use default far plane settings in CSP graphics adjustments.

Peter Boese

And please don't double post problems...

Peter Boese

It is not install properly then... If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

gabriele

i used the 0.2.4 shaders patch version but i cannot see the rain. How i can do?

Turbo 2000

It says LCS 1.16 in CM for me on CSP 0.2.5-preview1

Peter Boese

Yes that's right. Pure 2.16 = Pure Gamma 1.18 + Pure LCS 1.16

Septumal

I downloaded this and why did my fps drop to 20? i was running on EVERYTHING max settings and i have a 4090 before this. I was running at 140 fps. NOW IM GETTING 20???? i remember this happening before but it was just a setting i ticked but i forgot what setting it was. HELP! I also am having trouble with the pure config. It is asking me to stroboscopic effects and im clicking turn on all of it... at its just like glitching out and flashing. I legit cant even use pure config anymore -_-

Ezra

Does rain not work on Custom Shaders Patch 0.2.4? Custom shaders patch removed it's most recent version so I went reverted back to 0.2.4 (the minimum version to plan no hesi) and now I can only hear the rain. I have another friend with the same issue.

Peter Boese

This is not a Preview version! Rain only works with the preview versions from Ilja's Patreon. It is also described in the install video!

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Peter Boese

This is not a Preview version! Rain only works with the preview versions from Ilja's Patreon. It is also described in the install video!

gabriele

Ok i confirm ...with llja version it works great!! Thank you Peter!!

Bruddah Plz

hello i dragged and dropped the latest pure download but when i go to weather fx, weather style i dont have any of the pure options?

Bruddah Plz

Never mind, I just had to restart content manager, sorry for the inconvenience

sstoness

Any one else seen the "laser beams" coming from the exhaust on some cars lately? Not sure if this is a pure or csp thing.

Peter Boese

Just Pure LCS with "pure" ppfilters and "Overcast" weather. You can adjust the date, time and weather ingame with the Pure Planner app.

sstoness

Kinda figured its a csp thing. Thanks for the confirmation Pete.

Peter Boese

For rain you need a CSP preview version. You get it from Ilja's Patreon page. You find the link at the bottom of the Pure Development update posts.

Nicola Arisci

If I already have pure, do i need to uninstall the current version to update?

Mateo Vinagre

Hello, has anyone come across with the damned black screen issue with Pure LCS? It's seems it's totally random, some times it will happen, and some others not. Is there any workaround for this bug?

Peter Boese

Reset CSP settings completely! Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later. Select Pure as weather style again in CSP weatherFX settings.

Peter Boese

You don't need to, but if you experience problems, you could try to uninstall it first

Peter Boese

It's not a bug with Pure LCS, it a bug with certain CSP settings. Also if you try, please use the Pure standard ppfilters.

Eino Haataja

I cannot find Pure as a weather option in the "drive" tab. Do I need to install something other than pure, sol, csp?

Uros Ljubicic

I just did that and it did not fix it i didnt change csp settings at all when i relaunched cm it works for a few minutes than black screen but i can hear that car is sriving... dont know if its only for the mod tracks tho should i install hotfix?

Carson Norman

Is there any reason on my weather fx i still only see sol and default, even after uninstalling sol?

Carson Norman

ive watched it over and over i even deleted everything and reinstalled. I will pay someone to help me with this on discord.

Carson Norman

hmmm its showing that I have no sol or weather mod installed but still shows sol in the drop down.

Peter Boese

Are you sure you use the right AC root folder? You can check it in Content Manager - settings Content Manager - general

Peter Boese

Please watch the install video and follow ALL steps exactly. Like you need to update CM.

Peter Boese

Did you try it with the standard pure PPfilters? If you have extraFX activated, deactivate TAA there.

Peter Boese

There could be also a possible problem with tireFX in CSP settings. I have a report that with certain mod cars, CSP will have a black screen.

Carson Norman

just double checked, and reinstalled the game. I'm thinking that sol is not fully deleted

Peter Boese

There will be still files and folders in /content/weather. Those weather presets are just older files to get all the weather types for servers and careers and championships and such. So they are left for compatibility reasons.

Brett Galvin

Same here, this is the distinct difference between the two, setting changes don't seem to do much - other than that it's great.

eagletrippin

Mr. Boese posted a fix for this, If you go to the Community tab, go to Pure Problem & Bug Reports. I'm unable to link directly to it, but scroll up to my post from 5 days ago ...

gogumasi Marlin

Hello, to use PURE Gamma or PURE LCS, do I need to get the preview version from Patreon in Ilja?

Peter Boese

No, you can use the free public CSP. For Pure Gamma you need at least CSP 0.2, for Pure LCS you need at least CSP 0.2.4!

Life is alright

My pure config app keeps flashing when I click the "activate pure" any fixes? "Lifevfx" from youtube if you have not seen me I downloaded pure but it is doing exactly what I have explained. It flashes the pop up after you activate it and makes my game LAG (like 20 fps, I run assetto corsa with max graphics 144fps which is my hz) any fix

Peter Boese

It is just not installed properly! Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

AJ Kay

Do you know any fix for this?

InGroover

Hi - what issue in my setup could lead to a black sun disk and no sunblinding effects in screen mode (all pp filters) - but works well in VR with pureVR filter. My guess is something with old Yebis but how do I install or activate the correct version?

Peter Boese

I don't know right now, but you could come to Pure Discord Server and show some screenshots of your settings. Maybe I can reproduce it then.

InGroover

Tnx Peter - I looked up the discord and found some guys having the same issue ... no need to further invest time - it seems to be a known CSP bug

Jacobo Gonzalez

hi peter could you please add me to the discord? i have my stuff linked but im not getting any pop-up to join, my discord is @wertycop

Peter Boese

The connection to discord is directly linked with the tier you currently have...

Ryland

hello peter can you help me i have a high end spec pc and asseto corsa ran fine but ever since i installed pure its been laggy like 17fps is there anyway to fix this and get my fps back up without getting rid of pure

Peter Boese

It is just not installed properly! Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

johannis

Hi Peter I have the impression that since these new updates, it is darker (even when the weather is nice with sun) Do you know where it comes from? Thanks

Peter Boese

Which ppfilter do you use? Do you use Pure Gamma or Pure LCS weather script?

johannis

I use a ppfilter from « NightVenom ». And I use actually Pure Gamma (I’ve not tried Pure LCS weather script)

Peter Boese

I'm not responsible for 3rd party PPfilters. Please always try with the pure PPfilters. Maybe also check if there are any errors in CSP Lua Debug app. Look for red dots there...

johannis

Okay I will try with the pure ppfilter to check it. Ok I will check also in csp lua debug Thanks

Facundo Medina

Hi, I had version 2.15 and I updated to version 2.16 and now the rain doesn't appear, is there any way to fix this?

Peter Boese

Pure has nothing to do with rain. Pure only controls RainFX. RainFX is a module of CSP. If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Ryland

Thank you peter but now The game keeps crashing and i think i have to uninstall pure then install it again but how do i uninstall pure because i drag and dropped it into content manager when i first installed it and that's what i did wrong and i don't know how to uninstall it from content manager.

Peter Boese

Open the zip and go into the Pure folder. Execute the uninstall_pure.bat!

Ryland

I know im asking a lot of questions but im so confused i wet to the zip and did the uninstall but when ever I put in my AC root folder it says thats not the root folder sorry but im just getting very frustrated because I want to relax and play assetto corsa with good graphics.

Peter Boese

You also find the AC root folder in Content Manager - settings - Content Manager - general. You must select exactly this folder! Sorry about your problems, but if you would have followed the install video it would work! This whole thing here is about modding of AC. You must have a bit of a knowledgement of AC in general and how you install mods in AC. Therefore I made the install video and after years of experience with AC and the casual user, I chose the safest way to install Pure. So please be sure you don't have 2 AC installs and find your used AC root folder CM. Then uninstall Pure and install everything like shown in the install video!

Francesco

sorry but where is the download folder located

Peter Boese

What do you mean? Did you already downloaded it, or do you search the download links? For the download links, read the Pure development update post and watch the install video. To open the post you must click the post title or the "show more" link...

RM

Peter Boese

If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

ASC

hey Peter i just installed the new update and i now i have a lot of chromatics details it's no nice to see

Ryland

Thanks so much peter for helping still trying to figure it out ill let you know when i figure it out thanks again

Ryland

I found out how to uninstall pure but im using sol real quick to see if i can get into a no hesi server but its still crashing should i uninstall AC then install it again

Peter Boese

Please try offline sessions and Kunos cars and tracks first and check if Pure is working properly. Online sessions on certain servers is a completely different chapter then and I can't give support for those...

Peter Boese

What do you mean? Please use the Pure chats or the Pure Discord Server to show a screenshot of what you mean!

vMascarita

how do i install pure

Peter Boese

Please read the post and watch the install video!

Moeya K

what's a good ppfilter that's a compatible and available with this?

Marco Giugiaro

Ciao Peter, ho già formattato il Windows 11 e installato DirectX, AiO dei Framework e aggiornato la Scheda Video ma non mi apre la CM Showroom con relativo messaggio: "Impossibile avviare Showroom personalizzato: Eccezione lanciata da un componente esterno." Cosa devo vedere?

Peter Boese

Did you already try the Pure PPfilters: pure, pureCandy or pureLinear?

char

ANSWER ASAP!! just wondering whats the difference between pure lcs and pure gamma

Moeya K

ofc but id love to hear recommendations, yk u can never have enough pp filters right?

Delivery Depo

GAMMA is original assetto corsa coloring, LCS is brand new coloring from csp that is considered better in some ways in the future.

Ryland

thanks peter I managed to get pure working in a solo run it works great now I just need to fix no hesi also i found the reason My game keeps crashing its because I don't have enough ram I have 16gb Should i get 32gb or 64gb

Yuri Lopes

also it's WAY lighter on your machine, it usually gets way more fps

Hi Peter, I have already formatted Windows 11 and installed DirectX, AiO Frameworks and updated the Video Card but the CM Showroom does not open with the related message: "Unable to start Customized Showroom: Exception thrown by an external component." What should I see?

Peter Boese

I'm not the creator of CM. I'm the creator of Pure weather script

Michael DiGuilmi

Peter, i have an issues with LCS. Autoexposure makes things way too bright sometimes using PureLCS, with any pure PP filter (VR, default, LCS...). Issue is completely fixed when swapping to PureGamma. I mainly play in VR and the PureVR PP filter doesn't allow you to adjust autoexposure, but i would think the default exposure values shouldn't be this bright. The worst is when I turn the corner into the sun blinding me I can't see anything. please let me know if there's any fix to this or if you're aware of the issue. I'll be using Gamma for now

Peter Boese

Actually that is not normal. Did you already try to "reset to defaults" in the Pure Config Main tab and reset script settings in PP tab?

Michael DiGuilmi

Yeah i’ve hit every reset butt in the pure config gui for purelinear and purevr. I also went through every tab of content manager settings to make sure i had nothing weird changed from default. Can’t figure it out, but i’m almost 100% sure its autoexposure because the game starts with normal lighting then fades to extremely bright

Peter Boese

Please go to Pure Discord Server and report it! And please answer in the same thread here. You create a new post every time! Then please make a new post in Pure support channel.

Michael DiGuilmi

Where do i find the discord? I’ve been looking for 10 minutes haha

Peter Boese

Link your Discord account in Patreon settings - More - connected apps. You will be automatically connected and get a role to access the Pure area....

Luke Watts

Thank you for all your amazing work! Quick question - using the new Pure Planner, where are the rain traction difficulty settings? I haven't played AC for about a year and I can't seem to find them anywhere...

Peter Boese

There isn't one. You can just lower wetness on Pure Planner. Or you use the weatherFX Debug app, and there you can lower water thickness in the rain group

Barnage Someone

Thankyou Peter for this awesome mod. Unfortunately I need some help, Im using 0.2.5-preview1. Whenever I switch to LCS in Weather FX and then launch a session everything is red. I then open the Pure Config app and Pure is not running, so I start it and everything looks good. But then when I finish and go back to CM and check Weather FX it says its using Pure Gamma. If I switch to LCS I go through the same cycle. Help please.

Peter Boese

If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Barnage Someone

I seem to have lost the PP filter in-car app. cant find it in the app list anymore. is this expected?

Dooky

Thank you for the hard work, I love using your work. But I have some issue, my sun is in totally black when its daylight, can you help me to fix it?

Peter Boese

Sorry I never saw this issue on my side. Is TAA of in extraFX on your side? Try to reset your CSP settings: Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later. Select Pure as weather style again in CSP weatherFX settings.

Dooky

Yes, I use TAA on in ExtraFX.

Peter Boese

That might still have a bug in the current CSP with LCS shaders!

Luke Watts

Thanks for your speedy reply. Is there an easy way that I can just globally scale the wetness level for all the wet weather conditions? Or do I have to manually adjust wetness level every time I start a race or switch weather?

Peter Boese

You could also still use Sol Planner then. Weather controller and style are 2 separated things. So maybe just use Sol Planner and Sol weather controller, but Pure as weather style.

MedaSNZ

how do i use the sol .bat uninstall thing

Peter Boese

Double-click "uninstall_sol.bat" and select the AC root folder

Luis Robles

every time i try to open pure config and activate pure it keeps openening it and closing it and i cant close it till i close out the game

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Elrond

I tried downloading pure 2.16 high res but it says decryption key is invalid

Any idea why there is no Skybox and the sky is just dark blue once i activate LCS in PURE? edit: nvm. I was stupid and made the problem myself. is solved. Love the work you do, Peter. Cheers :)

shawn desousa

i can not get it to actually rain. what am i doing wrong. i hear the rain but dont see it on the track or windsheild

Peter Boese

You need a CSP preview version for rainFX! There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the Pure development update post!

Ken Taylor

I just installed this and first time I drove it was magnificent - looked a million times better than ever before. Then the next time, without touching a single setting, it was so overexposed I could hardly see anything except dark colours. I have tried multiple different settings now and can't get it back to anywhere near that first time :( I have CSP 0.2.4 and initial run was Weather FX set to LCS and Drive Weather set to Random no other changes. Now when I chage back to those settings it is still overexposed. Any ideas on how to get back to that amazing view ? Oh and no PP Filters at any time since I am in VR and they do nothing but tank my FPS

Peter Boese

LCS needs PostProcessing activated! Also try to reinstall Pure: Execute the unisntall_pure.bat in the Pure zip (go into Pure ... folder) and select your AC root folder. If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Ken Taylor

OK - did that and no difference. LCS just doesn't work even with PP on but Gamma and Drive Weather = Pure looks good. None of that explains why it looked so good initially with LCS, no PP and Drive Weather = Random. I mean it looked like the latest AC EVO trailer it was that good and I was so excited and now it is just back to looking OK :(

Cody Stanfield

what did you do to cause/remedy this issue?

Ken Taylor

I also don't have any rain. I have CSP 0.2.4 installed. In AC Drive Weather options I don't have any Rain options - only overcast, clear etc. Before I had Heavy Rain, Thunderstorm etc. In Drive - Weather - Pure - CM Weather I do have Rain, Thunderstorms etc but in game I still do not have any rain :(

Peter Boese

Please read the post!!! Scroll down to the bottom. You need a CSP preview version for rainFX! It is linked there...

Ken Taylor

Isn't 0.2.4 a preview version ?

Ken Taylor

ahhh no it isn't a preview :( have downloaded preview version and now have rain :)

farzan86g

Hi , i have downloaded everything but in weather config when i choose to have rain there is the sound of it but i don't get the rain effect (on the street and on the car) and the rain fx is already active, do you have a solution for that?

Peter Boese

Please read the update post, scroll down to the bottom, there is the disclaimer about rain and a link to the CSP Patreon...

shawn desousa

Preview is the one you pay for correct ? I believe I have that .

Peter Boese

If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Kad Dad

i cant play cuz it say i need 0.024

Peter Boese

I think you mean CSP 0.2.4?! For Pure LCS you need at least CSP 0.2.3p211 preview or CSP 0.2.4 version. Just install this then!

Dušan Klenovič

Hi Peter. I need your help. When I turn on the LCS, my car looks like this. they have sharp edges as if anti-aliasing was bad. It also looks like it is hovering over the road. Also, the reflections of the car on a wet road are much weaker than in the Gamma. Help please.

benyoride 4

Bro, after the update, my cars steering wheel, and interior lights are super bright. What can I do?

benyoride 4

Pure HDR Eye, but I’ve checked with all, same issue.

Peter Boese

Please use the "pure" PPfilter. Reset to defaults in Pure Config app Main tab. Are there any warnings or errors listed there?

benyoride 4

Found it, in the light settings csp_lights.displays on minimum has been solved the problem. Many thanks for your response and tips!

Charles Samuel

I upgraded from SOL to pure and it works great in non-vr, but every time I try VR, the game crashes. I uninstalled SOL, tried every version of pure, csp, tried every setting change, nothing. I can't launch the game in VR at all unless I downgrade back to SOL. Any help?

MajD FN

hi, i cant find lights patch 0.2.3 preview link !

Peter Boese

Reset CSP settings completely! Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later. Select Pure as weather style again in CSP weatherFX settings.

Alex Tabor

hi, my AC is super over exposed, im using LCS with pure pp filters i alredy tried reinstalling pure and playing with values in pure config but it didn't work.

Peter Boese

Maybe i activated DXGI - HDR? in CSP DXGI settings. Also check Pure Config app Main tab for errors ans warning. And check your internal exposure multiplier - pageUP/DOWN keys. It should be 100%.

Charles Samuel

I’m still getting the same crash error after trying this. A new extension folder was created, I tried pure gamma and lcs, no difference, I took a screenshot of the crash report

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Charles Samuel

Still crashing in VR unfortunately, the crash says stuff about the CSP but it’s a log with numbers

Peter Boese

If you switch to "default" weather style in CSP weatherFX, does it work then?

Jusuf Liv

My Pc Specs: RTX 3070 Fe/Amd Ryzen 7 580x b450 motherboard 32gb ram wondering who i can contact to help me squeeze absolutely the most quality that is consistent Fps?

Peter Boese

For most fps don't use the fps eaters like CSP extraFX and real mirrors (in Smart mirrors).

Peter Boese

Maybe better you use the chat, like the Pure Q&A chat! And if you post something here, please don't create new posts, answer in the same post then!

YoRed

try changing your filter from and back to that filter on the right hand side while in game itll reset it

Flyx

Can we get a comparison in difference of pure highres and pure lowres? Also, what is the difference between pure gamma and pure lcs?

Charles Samuel

Sorry no, it doesn’t when switched to default anymore, it keeps popping the same error with CSP

Charles Samuel

Other games are working in VR and this was too before I tried to switch to pure from sol

Peter Boese

Do you want use openXR or something. Maybe you have to install the latest openXR drivers in AC. You already did that and know how you do that?.

Peter Boese

Gamma Color space is used in older games and also in Vanilla Assetto Corsa. In video games, you calculate the lighting with a much higher dynamic, than you can output on the Monitor. A monitor usually only has 8bit color resolution per channel (RGB). But this is very rough to calculate light. You would see many quantification then. So internally you use a much higher range, but then you must compress it, to display it on monitors. That is what tonemapping does. But tonemapping is an additional render pass. In Gamma Color space, the light calculation uses a higher dynamic, but it is already compressed in the calculation. A "gamma" curve is used to shrink high tone values to lower ones. Therefore it is still possible to output the result of that calculations without tonemapping. That is what AC uses, if you deactivate PP on the video settings. Those calculations are done in different "shaders". They calculate the sun, ambient and many other lights on the materials. So AC uses Gamma shaders and CSP also do to be compatible.

Peter Boese

But this Gamma calculations bring many errors into the calculation. The lighting is already compressed and high tone values are wrongly mixed. Kunos prevents this by keeping the sunlight (which has the highest value) low. That works for most cases, but the result always feels dull and you always have the feel of missing sunlight. But it can work without Postprocessing and tonemapping. In Postprocessing you have the same functions to handle dynamics. Gamma is a function there too, but PP is already at the end of the render path and it has no meaning for the shaders. That's why it is called POST processing . . So now comes a new part of CSP, to improve lighting. Ilja added new shaders to calculate the lighting linear, like in every modern game. The tone values are no more compressed within the color mixing and light calculation. So you have a very natural processing of the light. But now you really need tonemapping to compress the resulting tones to displayable tones on the monitor. The new shaders are called LCS shaders. Linear color space shaders.

Peter Boese

To work with them it was needed to rewrite the weather style and therefore there are now 2 versions of Pure. Pure Gamma is the Pure which works with the older gamma shaders. And it represents my 3 year long work to create a very natural light in Gamma space. Pure LCS is a new weather style which exclusively uses LCS shaders and it is completely different to Pure Gamma. In Pure LCS I introduced a lot more methods to make the weather style efficient to save fps and keep the frame flow steady and equal. So Pure LCS is the newest invention in terms of a weather style and it will give you great performance. But Pure LCS is no more usable with Postprocessing deactivated. But it has a way better color presentation and better ways to create real life like graphics.

Charles Samuel

Updating openxr fixed it!! Looks so good, thank you!!

Alessandro Fini

hi, i have a question. is there a way to increase render distance of shadows and grass, because i can see all thi stuff popping in 5 meters in front of me and it ruins all the immersion. thnk you in advance.

Cameron Smith

when i try activate pure it starts glitching ?

george burrell

yes absolutely car shadows can be shown to usable limit, but the rest and other objects can be seen until they are too small. It is all in the track files and settings I have them set beyond what is shown in the slider. My nordschlife has no pop ups when you view in the distance everything is there pre drawn. Example coming around the corner onto the final straight you can see the castle perfectly on a clear day no stutter...smooth as silk. I spent a lot of time setting up the graphics on this track in the files. any other track still goes beyond the set limits automatically due to the graphic settings in the sim. I use a rxt 3060 clocked to 1777 nothing special it has 12gigs memory that's it.

Peter Boese

Have a look in the CM - settings - CSP - graphics adjustments. You could increase the track LOD distance for example

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder. Be sure you use the correct AC root folder. Check it in CM - settings - Content Manager - general

Game Pass

Hello, there seems to be no rain or puddles on any map even when I specify it through weather. how can I fix this? thanks in advance <3

Peter Boese

For rain you need a CSP preview version. You find the link to CSP Patreon at the bottom of this post.

Game Pass

Thank you <3 I finally have rain in the game

anthony

How do i get my pure config updated? mine is at v1.29 and my pure says 0.234 while yours is at v1.30 and pure 0.246

Alessandro Fini

i tried to increase all LOD values to the top but i still have that horrible shadow pop in and grass pop in. what can i do?

Peter Boese

Selcuk

Hi Peter, thank you a lot for all your efforts! I have a quick question. I race in VR with the latest Pure and the PureCS_2.0 Filter. The image always gets dark when my car faces the sun. Thats quite annoying. How can I disable that? I tried disabling sun blinding but it still drops the brightness down when facing the direction of the sun. I amped up overall brightness but still.

Selcuk

So I figured out it´s exposure settings in PP filter in pure config. It adjusts brightness automatically depending on the scene. If you look left or right out of the window it makes everything darker. But it´s kind of annoying in VR. I completely disabled it but then it didn´t look good. Unfortunately I have no idea about all this stuff. I just want a constant brightness. What do I have to set?

Peter Boese

Which ppfilter do you use? In Pure Gamma just set "pureVR" as PPfilter and in Pure LCS use "pure"!

_osflips _

I just installed pure and when i go to activate it, it switches between (consent) and (no pure). When i try to click activate it doesnt do anything. It also makes my game super blue and drops the fps from around 90 to 11.

Peter Boese

Did you watch the official install video and did you follow all the steps? Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

anthony

Ok, also is it normal for the files to only have uninstall pure or sol option? my last one had install pure aswell

Peter Boese

Yes, because there is now a problem with the installer and newer Windows Updates. Please just watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!

Im genuinely unsure if this is a Pure or general CSP fault, but I have noticied that the waving grass with the Grass FX is stationary in one eye in VR, but moving and waving in the other, giving this really weird depth in VR - do you have any advice for this please? As always, brilliant work.

Peter Boese

Reset CSP settings completely! Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different. Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later. Select Pure as weather style again in CSP weatherFX settings.

Hey, I just downloaded pure following the video you provided but when I select the either of the pure weather styles under the custom shaders patch weather FX tab the "Pure LCS" and "Weather Style" text turn red, like they are indicating that they are not working right. Is this an issue that I can fix or is this not a problem?

Peter Boese

This is just the CM highlight color for "not default value". You can change this color in CM settings. So everything is ok...

proracerprokid

Ok great, it looks fantastic so I figured it was working. Thanks for your response and your great work.

hey my pure config is just flashing the photo-sensitive warning on and off without letting me touch the menu itself its stuck on the warning of epilepsy and turns it on and off, basically wont let me do anything, ive tried every version of CSP above 0.2 including, any idea what could cause the problem?

Martyn

did you drag Pure to content manager to install it? Need to manually install if so

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder. Be sure you use the correct AC root folder. Check it in CM - settings - Content Manager - general

Thomas Tarnowski

Thanks for this comprehensive summary Peter, much appreciated. I fully acknowledge that LCS is the way forward, it's simply the right way to calculate light and indeed performance is significantly better. This is crucial for me as I drive in VR only, with a high render resolution and can still maintain 90fps with all the beautiful eye-candy CSP and Pure offers. HOWEVER, as I keep trying out LCS in every update (with both Pure & PureCandy PP filters), and always keep reverting to Gamma for now. Why? Well, LCS can look great, but it also looks "off" at times. The grass can look way too flashy, the cars tend to loose all their beautiful glossiness and reflections they have with Gamma and there are some stereoscoping issues with grass and tires (noticed best on open wheelers ;) ). Summing up, I'm a fan of your great work and couldn't live without Pure, but LCS look doesn't feel on par with Gamma yet, at least for me. No idea if it's within your remit or more a to-do for Ilya / CSP or even another party. I will continue testing LCS for sure and wait for the day I stick with it (alone for the performance gains!), but I'm not there yet. Cheers!

nando

im having that same problem is there any solution.

Peter Boese

Just read my post and install Pure the way I described! It will work than.

debread os

do i need to delete the older version when downloading this way? if so how do i delete it properly

Romteen Azmoodeh

I downloaded pure and my video settings are all on maximum but my graphics have gotten worse for some reason. Did I do something wrong?

Peter Boese

Please use the chat in community to post screenshots. Please show Pure Config app Main and PP tab.

Rezulo

Hello! I just started playing asetto corsa about a week ago and im loving it! Heard good stuff about your work so i decided to give it a shot, i just have one question. I will play asetto mainly on vr, is there something special i have to do for pure to work for vr? or do i just do as you show in the video and it will all just work? even in vr?

Peter Boese

If you use Pure LCS you just need to select the "pure" ppfilter in AC video settings. Otherwise you need to do the stuff to play AC in VR in general. If that already works, just use Pure LCS and the "pure" ppfilter then.

Elias Isberg

Hello! I just installed Pure and everything was fine until I can't choose "pure" for weather in drive mode!.

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Elias Isberg

I just installed it that way and doesnt work.

Peter Boese

Please go to the chat here or Pure Discord Server and report it. And please provide a screenshot of the CM Drive menu weather selection

Elias Isberg

where is pure discord server

Hassan Tidwell

i dragged and dropped pure and it worked but the pure config is not working do i do it in the ac root folder

Peter Boese

Please watch the install video and follow the steps exactly! Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Hassan Tidwell

also i just did everything u said and i still got bad fps

Peter Boese

Link your Discord account in Patreon settings - More - connected apps. You will be automatically connected to Pure Discord Server. Make a new post in support help channel there

Peter Boese

It's not properly installed then. Just try the WinRAR method. Do it exactly like I described it

Diego Perez

After tweaking a little bit the sliders, I feel very confortable using LCS, landscapes and surroundings look more real.

Peter Boese

Then it must work. Otherwise you did something wrong. Maybe better you come to Pure Discord Server and report it. If you link your Discord account in Patreon settings - More - connected apps, you will be automatically connected to Pure Discord Server. Please make a new post in the Pure support channel and post a screenshot of the CSP Lua debug app.

Hassan Tidwell

THANK U BRO I FIXED IT I DELETED EVERYTHING AND REINSTALLED AND IT WORKED AND MY FPS IS BETTER AT 50

SkinsMaker

Hello, with version 0.2.3 (3040 ID), I cannot get the raindrops to work in LCS, it only works in gamma ... What could I have wrong?

Peter Boese

You need a CSP preview version to get rainFX. If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Peter Boese

I recommend to use the latest version! And actually there is no 2.00 version. It is this version with all the needed fixes ..

SkinsMaker

thanks a lot, its work!

jamal

hi is it just me or do stars not work on this new version or am I completely missing something?

Peter Boese

Select clear weather. If you are in big cities, maybe light pollution is too high. Uncheck "stars adaption" in Pure Config app Night tab then

Josh Slack

hi im new to pure i just followed the video and followed the way to install it with winrar and i cant find it in the weather fx style it just says default can you please help?

Josh Slack

hi i did the same thing for the pure install on the video but i cant seem to find the script in the weather fx can u help me and i used winrar and did the extract thing

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Josh Slack

the only way i could find pure is with installing it with content manager but i get 19 fps how can i do it the propper as i follow the video but i couldnt find the script in weather fx

Peter Boese

Please answer in the same thread. You must do it like in the video. But it could be your windows can't unpack the zip properly. So please use WinRAR and use the "Extract" button!

Josh Slack

i have used the extract button but i get 17 fps is that normal i have a i5 12th gen gtx 1650 32gb ram

Peter Boese

Use the chat or the Pure Discord Server to post the problem. Please show a screenshot with opened CSP Lua Debug app. Switch to the tab with the red dot and expand the error so I can see the full error.

jamal

ok thanks:)

Josh Slack

i have done all that like i said

Josh Slack

i have done that i run it and i get 19 fps even tho i used to get 100?

Peter Boese

But then you may did some other thing wrong. Maybe it is better you use the chat here or Pure Discord Server to post the problem and provide screenshots of Pure Config app and CSP Lua Debug app. If you link your Discord account in Patreon settings - More - connected apps, you are automatically connected to Pure Discord Server and get access to the Pure channels. There you create a new post in the Pure support channel and please post the screenshot in that post.

Josh Slack

ok its alg ill try reinstall everything i dont want to make this a mess

Josh Slack

i reinstalled and installed if the way in the video i uninstalled winrar and did the video and everything but i get 19 fps?

Peter Boese

Something is still wrong on your side, so just use Pure Discord Server to report it and I can help you further. It makes no sense that you telling me the same thing over and over. I need to see screenshots and it needs some further actions. You could also try to remove Pure completely with the included uninstall_pure.bat and reinstall it with the WinRAR method. But I guess there is some other problem on your side. But we can't solve this here in the comments.

Sebastiano Seri

Been planning on getting pure for a while, just finished the install and it looks great. Only issue im having is with the weather controller. The changeable weather settings are numeric rather than providing a couple drop down boxes as seen in the video. Did i do something different/wrong? Not the end of the world but it would be nice to know what setting "7" is.

Sebastiano Seri

didnt work the 1st time but worked now lmao i appreciate the swift response <3

Jhonatan Perez

esta es la ultima version o son las 2.54 que estan publicadas abajo?

jim

I was wondering if you have any settings recommendations for this new update? I can not get it to look nothing like your images. I am running very good PC with RTX 3080 single 32" screen. Any help would be appreciated.

Peter Boese

Maybe just go to Pure Discord and post some pictures in the Pure support channel there.

holdenvpcom .

Is this the latest version or is it the 2.54 that is posted below? That is what he asked

XELIO92

Am I missing a configuration? my sky looks dark during the day?

Peter Boese

Maybe just reset to default in Pure Config app. Also Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

يحيى ربيع

I have a messing file (install_pure.bat) i don’t have it

Peter Boese

Please watch the install video! Also read the post!

helo

pure is not showing in my weather

Peter Boese

Please watch the install video and follow all the steps exactly? if it is still no working try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder. Be sure you use the correct AC root folder. Check it in CM - settings - Content Manager - general

Razvan Nita

does it differ fron pure 2.15.1 ? OR IT IS THE SAME ONE?

Peter Boese

Thats the fixes for Pure 2.16: Pure LCS 1.16 - apps: Pure Config, fixed headlight control, if Pure Config is hidden - sunblinding: # fixed cubemaps look if sun is not visible

forthus

Hi, I have your pure and x4fab's csp mod and they're latest versions The mod works beautiful on singleplayer but I couldn't manage to run it properly on "RainFX" tagged servers. Apparently they require Sol but isn't sol the alternative of Pure? Would Sol corrupt Pure's files?

Peter Boese

Actually Sol or Pure only run on the client side and so it doesn't matter what you are using. The server shouldn't care about.

Hade

Great Job on this.

Mazinho

Good evening Mr. Peter, could you help me reduce the spray from cars, because I can't see anything?

Pricenm

to drive the Audi TCR, I need the 3116 CSP build but I don't want to lose pure, what to do

Peter Boese

Take a break from the Internet little kid!

GnoP

when is the next update? :)

Peter Boese

A new version will be released end of November or early December. It will contain a big graphics update. The Skydomes look much better then and the new version will have additional postprocessing effects which bring the look to a new level. Also I will finally get the lighting in LCS to a new level. Day and night transitions will look much better in terms of CSP lights. So the cars headlights will finally have a reality like behavior and look when the sun sets.

Jasilva81

Why when I activate the pure my fps drop from 150 without the pure and with the pure to 10-13, does anyone have a solution for this?

Peter Boese

It is not properly installed then! Did you watch the offical install video? If so, try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder. Be sure you use the correct AC root folder. Check it in CM - settings - Content Manager - general

Zombi Plays

guys i have a question is it possible to put the rain settings in wether presets to 100% without sliding around with the car? so is there maybe a hidden settings to tweak the physics to eazy? i just want to drive normal but with rain reflections. Thanks

Peter Boese

Open the weatherFX Debug app ingame and lower the rain thickness to 0% in the rain section.

Pricenm

mine is 3045 but I need 3116 to drive a newer car

Peter Boese

Please just answer in the same thread! That is the internal code version. For Pure Gamma you need at least CSP 2.0 and for Pure LCS you need at least CSP 2.3p211.

Applesauce

Shaders patch version ID I assume

Pitrell

Is there any way to make Pure LCS compatible with Snowy Moon's good TAA/DLAA patch? Currently only Pure Gama runs with it.

Peter Boese

What's the problem in LCS. It should work even in VR with it!

Peter Boese

But never mind, I changed a lot in the render pipeline and it actually works in the recent development of Pure LCS, even in VR it is properly working, so it will for you in the next major release. I'm going to release the next Pure version end of November or early December! It will have a massive graphics update....

Pitrell

Ok, ich kann zwischen den Zeilen lesen, und verstehe dich. Danke für deine gute Arbeit.

2026-09-05 06:00 I have "uninstall pure" and "uninstall sol" as my only two options that ive seen from a video. there is no "uninstall_sol_install_pure" one... im so confused please help
2024-11-11 22:08

Peter Boese

Yes that's right, just read the update post and watch the official install video! There is no installer anymore due to serious problems with Windows Updates.

Valerio Oro

Ciao ho installato per avere il meteo dinamico ma non vedo la pioggia si sente solo cosa può essere

Delta

I run at dawn with the lights on, but on replay the lights go off and I have to change the time in the Pure config to make it darker and the lights turn on. Could it be that even if there is sun the headlights can be turned on?

yousef ahmed

i dont see it on the weather fx

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Peter Boese

In Pure Config app AI tab you have a headlights control

Filip Łukasik

Hello Peter, - I type this again since I still have this issue. I've noticed that road studs and road signs don't reflect for me since installing Pure 2.0. I'm running Pure LCS. Any idea how to get them working? CSP ver 0.2.4 Track: Highforce

Peter Boese

Is it the same if you switch the "default" weather style and LCS activated in weatherFX settings?

Filip Łukasik

It works on gamma, but flickers (also VR here :) ). It seems that it doesnt work on LCS. I will also check the default later

Valerio Oro

Ciao no si vede la pioggia cosa devo fare ho installato lcs si sente ma non si vede

Valerio Oro

Ciao non si vede la pioggia cosa devo fare ho installato grazie

damas005

why is my sky black since i switcht to this version

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Valerio Oro

hi I installed concrete but I don't see rain only lightning fog etc

Peter Boese

You need a CSP preview for rainFX. Rain is a feature of CSP preview! It is linked at the bottom of this post.

Peter Boese

You must buy CSP preview if you want rain! Pure does not bring rain. That's what the disclaimer says at the bottom of the Pure development update posts.

Valerio Oro

I have already purchased and installed I can't understand what I have to do

Peter Boese

If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Davi

i have to buy the other thing to the rain works?

Davi

or the rain could also work but not the best?

Peter Boese

Like it is described in the post you need CSP preview for rain! Pure will not bring any rain. It is a feature of CSP preview and Pure can only control it

Valerio Oro

should I bring them into the folder like I did with cls?

Peter Boese

I don't understand what you mean. Just do what I told you! The important step is, that you delete the dwrite.dll before you install it manually again

Valerio Oro

I have to do the same procedure for installing cls and bring it into the assetto corsa folder

Peter Boese

It is called CSP (Custom Shaders Patch) and you install it like it told you: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa). Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Valerio Oro

I did it but do I have to raise the fps? Is the gpu running at 80% and normal?

Peter Boese

If your CPU is the limiting factor your fps will not go higher. Actually CSP is not my part and I'm not responsible for it. If Pure works and rain too everything is ok from my side.

sanandale

I'd like to thank Peter for consistently offering us excellent modifications. I'm really struggling to find a solution to this one.I wonder if I might ask your advice. I am running CSP 0.2.5preview1, Pure 2.16 PureLCS＆Gamma, CM ver. 0.8.2727.39678 I've encountered an issue when trying to adjust the glare item in the pp filter with these applied. It seems that no matter what I do, including changing the csp ver. or creating a new pp filter in game, I'm unable to make any changes. I'm really struggling to find a solution to this problem.

Peter Boese

Maybe it's better you report it at Pure Discord Server. Link your Discord account in Patreon settings - More - Connected apps. You will be automatically connected to Pure Discord Server and you get the role to access the Pure channels. Make a new post in the Pure support help channel.

sanandale

Thank you for your reply. Okay, I will post it again in the PURE channel of the discord. Thanks.

Marc

Is there any way to have decent graphics in VR (Quest 3) with this Pure? It looks really bad as if antialiasing was turn off. I tried almost every CSP setting with no luck. Also it got my shaders so bad that even turning Pure off I had to reinstall Assetto to have my visuals back. The rain is prime reason I would like to keep it but I cant at this state. Any help appreciated.

Peter Boese

It's the poor render layer of the Quest that gives this aliasing. You just raise the render resolution in the quest to the max.

Marc

But stock Assetto is nicely rendered - no need to bump resolution. Any way to fix it at Pure/CSP level? Mid to long distance is just really crappy with no way (that I know of) to fix it. Even aliasing in cockpit is worse than stock.

Peter Boese

please use the Pure Discord Server. Link your Discord account in Patreon settings - More - Connected apps. You are automatically connected to Pure Discord Server and get a role to the Pure channels. Make a new post in Pure support help channel and show screenshots with Pure Config app Main and PP tab

C

I'm getting one eye only in VR on loading then it quickly switches to a totally black screen, have to alt-tab and stop the process. Any ideas what is happening and how I can fix it. Latest Pure and CSP preview Thanks

Peter Boese

If you switch to "default" weather style in weatherFX settings it is the same?

C

I'll try that and let you know, thanks for the prompt reply :)

C

Pure Gamma and Default both work, Pure LCS appears to be the setting that doesn't work in VR.

Peter Boese

There will be much changes in the next release early December. I made some changes in the render pipeline, so maybe its fixed then. my testers have no problems in VR...

Peter Boese

Did you check "default" weather style with LCS option active in weatherFX?

C

Sorry, where do I select default weather style?

C

Ok I see what you mean, this combination works

stripealipe

Yeah, tried my new Quest 3 a couple of days ago now running older versions of CM and Pure and all was looking bloody amazing tbh. Just updated to latest CM/CSP/Pure and it looks absolute garbage now? What's going on?!

Peter Boese

Idk, I don't see what's going on your side. Maybe use the Pure discord server or the chat here to post screenshots.

Reailiyy

i have rain but when i use the rain on the pure planner it doesnt work i can only hear the rain

Peter Boese

If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Lacarete33

Hello, the file "pure_install" is missing. Thank you

Peter Boese

Please read the post! It is written twice that it is no longer part of the install. Also the official install video is not referring to it.

Lacarete33

Thank you, please excuse me. It works, I'll continue the installation process Thank you

st4rdust_j

i have downloaded pure and the grahphics dont look good and i seen youtube vids but it still doesnt work and i caint get the florr to be wet can anyone help me plz

Zediton

RainFX is a seperate mod

Peter Boese

For rain you need a CSP preview version. It is linked at the bottom of the Pure update posts. What do you mean the graphics don't look good. Maybe make a screenshot with shown Pure Config app and post it in the Pure chats.

st4rdust_j

So if I want the road to be wet and make the game look good I need that rained mod but I watched videos saying when you use pure you have good graphics

Peter Boese

Please don't mix the things. For rain you need a CSP preview version, which is linked at the bottom of the Pure development update posts. For the graphics you need to explain what is not good at your side. Just make screenshots and post it in the community chats, like the Pure problems and bug chat

st4rdust_j

Ah okay so for me to make the road look wet I need the different paid mod because when I try to use the rain wetness it doesn’t work

Peter Boese

Yes, that's why it is written in the Pure posts that "Rain comes NOT with Pure". CSP is a big library and Pure uses it's weatherFX module to make the graphics. RainFX is another module which handles rain graphics and physics. Pure Planner just controls the rain.

a.shinny

hi do i uninstall the old pure before dropping the new pure files in the route folder?

Peter Boese

There is an uninstal_sol.bat inside the Pure zip. Just execute it and select the AC root folder.

a.shinny

so i dont uninsall purethen? i dont think i have sol

TTP

how necessary this is? I've never uninstalled anything, just treplace files, havent had any issues (atleast anything obvious)

a.shinny

i just dont want to mess it up i have pp filters i like. are they going to be deleted by deleting pure? or can i just drag an drop the files inn without deleting? can somone tell me pleaswe. thanks

fyntik

The download link for pure is not working for me

Inxby

the link isnt working

Jack

yea. you say theres no more link in this chat and to watch the youtube video but the video uses the link that was in this chat. soooo where do i download this

Jack

nvm i got it. video not helpful.

LyzenGX

I cant get over 18 fps and I dont know why. Even if I put all my settings to the lowest the fps are still 18. Please help me

adam

where did you find it, please help

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Peter Boese

I checked them and they are working. Maybe try with another browser. Also please, only use the links here in the post. I need to change them every day, because of people sharing and pirating them.

Peter Boese

I checked them and they are working. Maybe try with another browser. Also please, only use the links here in the post. I need to change them every day, because of people sharing and pirating them.

Peter Boese

But the video shows exactly where and how you download it...

kawhy

Pure gamma doesn't get over 25 fps for me and I have a 4090 with optimized settings in cm. Pure lcs runs fine though for whatever reason.

Peter Boese

Then please open the CSP Lua debug app. There will be a red dot at the weatherFX impl tab. Open it and expand the error. Make a screenshot and post it the community chat.

LyzenGX

I found the problem and its gamma which set my fps to 18-20 but I still dont know why

Peter Boese

It's not Gamma. It is just not installed right. Please post the screenshot of CSP Lua Debug like I told You! Otherwise it is senseless to repeat it. There is an error and that's why the Lua system halts an that causes the big fps loss.... Also it could be caused by the Lua script of your used PPfilter.

Peter Boese

Please read the post and watch the install video! You open a Patreon post when you click on the post title or on the "show more" link.

MODSANDGAMEPLAY

when i try to change the weather on a sever it dont do anything like i try to make it stop raining

Peter Boese

You can't do that! The server is setting the weather. Pure Planner is telling you this. You can't change time, date or rain!

Zach Roberts

(csp preview0.2.5-preview1, latest PURE) Using Vr initially i was able to use Pure LCS weather fx after first installing, it would flicker upon load in but work fine. But after turning my computer off and the back on it loads into flicker then black screen when i use the Pure LCS weather fx, but it works fine with default LCS weather fx settings. Even tried uninstall using bat file and fresh install, issues still remains. Are there some fixes for this? it looked really good id like to keep playing that way.

Ai

where is weather mod file

Peter Boese

Maybe better you go to Pure Discord Server and report it there. Link your Discord account in Patreon settings - More - Connected apps. You will be automatically connected to Pure Discord Server. Make a new post in the Pure support help channel.

Peter Boese

Here at Patreon you must click on the post title or the "show more" link to open a post. Read the post and watch the linked install video....

scode dead

i am a newbie of crossover and i see on youtube video is using pure 0.234 and i didnt find it on here should i just using latest version or how ? currently i only have assetto corsa v1.6 . hope someone gimme a link for the version or any suggestion ?

scode dead

for example : can i install highres first to test the install lowres it can be replace and safe or how ?

Peter Boese

there is no real difference between low and highres. Only for very slow PC's you could use the lowres install. Actually for normal PCs it makes no difference in terms of fps. So always use the Highres package. And also just use the latest Pure update! It makes no sense to use the old one. I constantly fix bugs and so its always the best you use the latest build.

LyzenGX

I posted a screenshot of the csp lua debug

scode dead

may i know its support 32 bit or only 64 bit ?

Otylia Burak

idk if its my pc but when i activate pure it starts to lag badly i have an rtx 3060ti and an i5-12400f 16 gb of ram

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

Noah

peter pls can i have some help when i download the file there is no install_pure bit for me to do only uninstall_pure

Peter Boese

Just read the post! The first message you see there tells you that there is no install_pure.bat anymore. Please watch the install video!!!!!!!

Noah

sorry but thank you lots

Otylia Burak

sorry for late reply but it worked keep it up your the goat

PANOS

Hi ! , i downloaded this pure but when i extracted the folder ,I opened it and there was no files for download anywhere.

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

PANOS

i did it now?

Brandon Wicks

so i followed the youtube video step by step but i couldnt manage to find the weather controller for pure?

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder. Be sure you use the correct AC root folder. Check it in CM - settings - Content Manager - general

Zeta

I have been able to do all the steps except the last one, I don't get Pure in the weather dropdown of the drive menu. Can anyone help me?

Zeta

solved

George siabanis

I don't get the pure weather drop-down in the Weather FX. Is anyone able to help?

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder.

martin browne

pure lcs wont work with csp 0.2.3 preview any fix gamma works fine

Peter Boese

Please read the post!!! You need at least CSP 0.2.3preview211 or 0.2.4 public to run Pure LCS!

Nono Demellier

When I install Pure I can only uninstall Pure and Sol I can't install Pure how to do it please

Peter Boese

Please read the post and watch the install video!

Nono Demellier

I watched the video but when opens pure it doesn't show install just uninstall

Peter Boese

That's why you must watch the video carefully! There is no install script anymore! BTW. You must watch the official install video, linked here in the post!!!

Pure override is a mode of the Pure Planner app. You can activate it to override the weather look in online session. But you can't change time, date and rain.

I've downloaded pure and when i go in a game it comes up with a message saying "pures's lightning shader can produce stroboscopic effects" and it keeps on flashing on/off and i cant press anything to continue.

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure that way: If you have WinRAR, open the Pure zip with it. Go into the Pure folder and mark the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system. Press the Extract button and select the AC root folder. Be sure you use the correct AC root folder. Check it in CM - settings - Content Manager - general

Did you have discord for a call because now I'm at the end of my rope and I don't understand at all

Peter Boese

Link your Discord account in Patreon settings - More - connected apps. You will be automatically connected to the Pure Discord Server then. Make a new post in the pure support channel.

You can also just wait till tomorrow. I will release a new version of Pure. It will have also a new install video.

As I said, same install process as the last one, the Install video it's the same. Don't worry, I'll keep using the old one.

Check your AC root folder in CM settings Content Manager general. You must install everything in this folder!

Peter Boese

Please watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!

Cole

why is my game red and reading upgrade CSM and i have the 0.2.5p1

Peter Boese

If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually: Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder. Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

Peter Boese

Please watch the install video and follow the steps exactly!!!

Hello, the sky is changing, I can hear the sound effect but no rain and no snow falling ? Could you give ma a hand please?

Peter Boese

You need a CSP preview version for rain. And you need esp. CSP 0.2.7p1 for snow. So just please watch the install video and follow the steps and you see how you get the CSP preview version!
