How to install Content Manager and Custom Shaders Patch:https://youtu.be/VONsqJ7gOAgHow to install Pure:https://youtu.be/lv18r-b1nmA

Hello my dear Patreons,Pure 0.165 will bring some updated graphics. It comes with 5 new skydome textures, reworked skydome night looks and a reworked stars and moon look. I made a new moon texture from the NASA source, which has a correct normal map. So you will see the moon craters properly.Pure also comes with an improved lighting, if the camera is in a cloud shadow. With 0.165 i introduce a new exposure handling mode. It is integrated in  the new "pureCandy", "pureLinear" and the standard script (if no pure  script is available for the used ppfilter). This exposure handling  supports 5 different exposure modes. From fixed exposure to Autoexposure  and a new hybrid mode, for realy stable exposure levels.  "pureCandy" got an update and i think it looks much nicer now. It has updated Glare settings and features the new exposure handling. So it could be a base for other ppfilter scripts.Pure 0.165 - New features video:https://youtu.be/g4LKgeE7tuc

Download no more available!

Please use later versions of Pure!

Pure install guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Py5YmNvI3GYfs8p6hLMdkQi-MprOqVf1/view?usp=sharing

For rain you need a CSP preview version. You get this from Ilja Jusupov's patreon: patreon.com/x4fab/posts If you already have a CSP preview version and there is still no rainFX, maybe try to install it manually. Copy to the drwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder and start CM.

Great work,I play in VR and struggle to find a good combination to get it looking just right,any suggestions ? Pure filters seems to make the car interior quite dark and I can’t seem to tweak it just right

worĸғlow

Thanks for your awesome work Peter! Absolutely got my moneys worth!

Peter Boese

Maybe gain the gamma or lower the "vao.track_exponent" in PureConfig app "light" tab.

Nathan Mellin

Thank you for your reply,I will give it a try

Rodger Davies

Can't wait to try it out later thanks!

Marc Eggleton

Three questions please, can you help??? - what is the setting (is there one) for increasing ai lights without anything else - their driving lights and night and brake lights in day, are hard to see? - what is the setting to reduce to get rid of the bright white glare you get on the rear of the car in front when you put lights on? - is there a way to have falling sleet and snow, as there are options for these in Sol weather, but nothing happens. I have rain as paid mod, rain and drizzle amazing!!! Would love to see snow Thanks in advance!!

TechnoRacerX

Glad you got the moon updated as well! Looking great on the new domes. 🙏 Thank you Peter.

Ryan Johnson

Stunning work as usual. Any recommendations for weather import sets? I can't seem to get Lighting working in Thunderstorms? Everything else looks great combined with RainFX

Mike Mosley

Thank you, Peter. Can't wait to try after work!

Piero Favretti

Awesome! Thank you for the update Peter!!

Peter Boese

1) thats not possible. You can only gain CSP lights in general. 2) CM - settings - CSP - lightingFX - "Cars lit multiplier". 3) There is no snow or sleet right now.

Peter Boese

Lightnings are not done yet. I'm on it...

Ryan Johnson

:) fantastic. Just had a go of this new build it's stunning.

Marc Eggleton

Appreciate it and keep up the amazing dedication to your craft! Thank you, on behalf of the community :)

Mariano

Thank you very much, just downloaded it, will test it tonight. You are godsend

vegas paris

Thanks, we need to uninstall the 0.155 version ?

Project X Motorsport

Thank you for the quick updates and work! Pure Candy is one of my most favorite ppfilters.

CSOCSO

hey. I have made a filter for VR. I don't wanna link it here but I am sure you can find it on racedepartment by searching PureS VR filter. Obviously, most settings might be not perfect out of the gate but you have some sliders under PP tab. Also for interior; it comes down to whatever you prefer. I kinda like the darker interior. On LAC maps at night the interior should be nearly pitch black besides the color light bleed from the dash. Try it and let me know in the comments what you think.

Nathan Mellin

Thank you,I will look and see next week,I am out of the country until Monday

CSOCSO

Hey I really hate blinding myself also. I have set up my own filter along with some settings that you don't really blind yourself anymore. look up Pure CS on racedepartment and for settings under lighting fx is on the bottom of the filter page.

Max S

Thank you!

Peter Boese

no. just install it via extracting the "Pure 0.165" folder and running the "install_pure.bat" in this folder.

vegas paris

Thanks Peter but i return to 0.155 because of the car's lights lance flare amazing in replay mode. In the 0.165, any PP can do the same thing. Perhaps in another update :)

Wanderkroete

Everytime I see one of your updates, it brightens my dark days. Literally and figuratively. Thank you so much!

Peter Boese

It honors me, that i'm able to brighten up your day!

Samuel CUBIO

Thank you very much Peter for this once again magnificent work, where will your madness for perfection stop?, anyway, I and the whole community are delighted. The future is on. Thank you peter

Concertym

You make this game incredible, keep the good work, thx !

Juan Pablo Amezquita

Hello Peter, my replays always appear at night even if I run during the day. Is there a way to change the replay time? I have the most recent versions of sol and pure installed, but I can't use sol planner, I always get a message that says "controller scripts do not work in replays or online sessions" Can you help me please.

Peter Boese

It will be possible soon with the new CSP version. Date, time and even weather changes are then possible in replays.

theCanunu

Whats with the "( )" at the end of "Pure"?

Peter Boese

It's code and Pure is like a big function. In the most coding languages you write a function like function_name() So Pure() is like a symbol or logo for the whole code. Just a typo with recognition value.

gonzalo minguillon

Cómo te quiero Pedro! Gracias por mantener al Assetto más vivo que nunca.

Darwin Vargas

Hi, Peter! Thank you for all your amazing work! I have a question. Do I have to uninstall Pure 0.155 prior to upgrading to 0.165? Thank you.

Yokai

You can change replay time with the photo mode app. That's what most of us have been doing

Peter Boese

No. Always just use the installer. It will do everything automatically.

Peter Boese

Please read the manual or/and watch the video, how to install Pure.

Darwin Vargas

Ok. I'll used the installer just like stated in your how to video. Thanks.

jelly

This should not be called Pure !! but "pure genius" Thank you for all the hard work ....

itsumairu

I really enjoy you work! thank you for the update

Jack

Honestly you are single handily carrying assetto graphic improvements rn, thankyou for what you do bro!

Alex Zuotoski

Wow!!! Just amazing, really, realy beautiful. Thank you, Mr. Boese.

automota

thank you sir!

Colin Dean

Hello Peter, Amazing work on the New Pure update, thank you for all of your work.

Sky Anthro

Awesome! Thanks so much Peter, beautiful work! ^-^

Akis Kevrekidis

Thanks mate. Appreciating your continuous efforts!

Claudio WRC

Thanks Peter for this update and your excellent video tutorials for installations !!!

madman1982

is there any way to get lightning to work with pure??? thunderstorms kind of need lightning otherwise its just noisy heavy rain lol. the clouds look amazing so thanks for that

Peter Boese

It will come, I'm working on it. But it takes time...

Jhevi P.

Peter, can you recommend a realistic pure filter?

Matt C

Looks great! Is option for Death Star moon coming in the next update? :)

Peter Boese

Its the question what "realistic" is in your eyes on your monitor? What is wrong with the built in pure filters? "Realistic" could mean everything. For one person realistic means a camera look where much blooming, motion blur and camera shake happens, because those effects represents "real" footage. For another person unclipped colors and very precise visuals are the key to a "real" look. The term "realistic" starts in your mind, with your expectations. So thats why there are many many filters out there and you will always find the rating "best realistic filter" for every filter. Because the certain filter matches the taste and the monitor of the user. So maybe try the different filters at Racedepartment as a start, if the pure filters don't match this term. https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/categories/ac-misc.10/

Peter Boese

Actually if you would like to have this, you can simple replace the moon texture with everything you want.

Jhevi P.

Yeah, that was a good answer, that's pretty subjective

Schussnik

Great work as usual, thanks Peter. Just one question, what controller script version am I supposed to see in WeatherFX after installation. Mine shows 2.3 and I thought the latest version was 2.4. Or is that because I am also supposed to install the latest version of SOL even if I only use Pure?

Peter Boese

It should show "2.4". How did you install it?

Schussnik

you mean how did I install Pure? the same way as usual, by following your instructions

AlfaRomeoOnTop

where can i see which pure version i have? I installed the new Version but dont know if its actually installed.

Peter Boese

Open Pure Config app ingame. Look at the upper text row.

AlfaRomeoOnTop

i dont know yet if i did the update correct. I just installed the Update Normally like in your tutorial. Is it correct like that?

Christopher Barcelo

Update day is always a good one, thanks again for your work Peter. - Chris

Peter Boese

there is also a video in the post. Just extract the whole "Pure 0.165" folder with 7zip to desktop andf run the install_pure.bat in that folder.

王兆和

I had the same problem before, but I just overwrote the file and it worked

theCanunu

Ah ok, that's really cool!

Schussnik

That's what I ended up doing, I just copied manually and overwrite the "controller" folder from the latest Sol version and in CSP it now shows correctly as 2.4

AlfaRomeoOnTop

thank you very much. Im enjoying it. Keep up the great work!

Jochen Serneels

download is not available on mega anymore

Peter Boese

I just fixed a little thing. Its again available

Jmillzy

wow Asif night sky is amazing hats of to you

Yokai

Try Natural Mod and SKY(GT), my favorites. The built in Pure filters are good too.

Yokai

Nice to have moon lighting now, I've been increasing the nlp minimum to brighten it up. This is the first time I've had working stars in years because I run a high FOV(74) and they tend to just not want to display. thanks peter

Chris Tychanowicz

Can someone confirm this update works perfectly in VR too? I'd like confirmation before doing the install.

224lemans

Random question, that first picture, what track is that from?

madman1982

Thanks for the reply Peter 👍 awesome work had a mess about with some settings last night, that night sky is something else 😲 almost won't ever need to go outside 😀 🤣 is there not a way to just use lighting from sol in pure?? Only until pure lightning ready??? 😉 keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍

RiZou71

Peter est exceptionnel ! Non seulement il travaille d'arrache pied pour nous fournir un Assetto de plus en plus beau, mais il prend le temps de répondre à une multitude de questions ! Merci Peter, merci pour votre travail et votre gentillesse ! Peter is exceptional! Not only does he work tirelessly to provide us with an ever-increasing Assetto beautiful, but he takes the time to answer a multitude of questions! Thank you Peter, thank you for your work and your kindness

kelnor34

Awesome stuff...As usual ! Thx so much for your hard work Mr Boese ;)

chris

Thank you for this great work :)

Willpower

Amazing update wow! the tonemapping on purecandy is gorgeous thank you!

Kyler Swanson

Yes. Nights are looking a lot better too. I've only experienced two issues: 1. Sometimes when I load in, there is no light. Everything is very dark. Didn't happen on the previous version (and not sure if this is exclusive to VR) 2. Fireworks reflections only render in one eye. I'm not seeing the reflections on the windshield in my left eye, but I can on my right eye. Not sure if this is a Pure/Sol issue though (probably CSP, if someone could confirm!). I feel like I remember this happening in the previous version as well.

Ayax

Thanks, any idea when lightning will be back? Storms just aren't the same without it.

Mo Hughes

Peter, great work as always. Seems like in the Purecandy setting the interior rev lights and info dash, the bloom is way too intense. What setting do I use to turn this down?

Peter Boese

This may depend on the car mod. If this has brighter displays and lights, the glare is triggered more. You can lower the "candy" slider. This will lower the glare effect too.

Carv

Hello Peter Great work. Not sure if you answered this before. Whats the difference between cube map around car vs camera. Which should we enable.

Peter Boese

i don't know what you mean. Where you want to activate something?

Carv

Under Reflection FX in Custom shaders sUnder Tweaks it says "Shot cubemap around focused car rather than camera". should this be enabled or disabled

Freenrg

Hello, first of all congratulations for your work Peter..I don't know if it's a bug, but immediately after loading the track you hear the sound of thunder for a few seconds, then I watch the race replays, with each camera change you hear the sound of rain for a few moments. It didn't happen in the old build Thanks again and good luck!!!

Peter Boese

Please download Pure 0.165 again. I fixed this already, but you need to download it again.

Peter Boese

Don't use this setting. It will have a bad influence on the exposure. I will add it to the check list in Pure Config.

Freenrg

Ok thanks !!

Chief Sway

Whenever I enable Pure in my weather settings I get incremental drop in fps from 144 to 1 in about 10min just standing in pits (heavy rain, clear, fog, all options) solo session. Please assist.

BassGaming

Finally. How am I supposed to set good laptimes when the craters of the moon are not rendered correctly?? It's the update everyone was waiting for! Jokes aside, great job as always. Thanks for bringing this 2014 game to the year 2023! Edit: Ok god damn the moon looks amazing. Absolutely insane. Btw random thought, do you think it would be possible to implement a slider to change the size of the moon? I think it could be pretty neat to drive around with a large and bright moon in the sky.. just for fun.

BassGaming

Try to follow the linked installation documentation from the post. Usually all problems are fixed by following the install guide step by step.

Peter Boese

Seems CSP is restarting constantly. Mostly this is caused by Microsoft Ondrive, which will restore files in your Documents/Assetto Corsa folder. Try to uninstall Microsoft Ondrive, or if you need it, try to deactivate it for your Documents/Assetto Corsa folder.

Peter Boese

Maybe later. I just thought of a separation of the level of options. So in "basic" mode you have very minor options in Pure Config. And the moon/sun size would be like on "extended" level. Moon and Sun have just 1 size in CSP, so sun will also getting bigger then.

Nagumo

I like C13 Camera Obscura. Just sayin :-)

Kapazza

Anyone know why I’m getting sun rays from my dash displays? I like having sun rays on but doesn’t make sense for them to come from inside the car…

Peter Boese

Which car and which ppfilter do you use?

Kapazza

Audi R8 LMS 2016. I use the AMA PP filter by Amatertu

Lost Places Rhein Koblenz Europaweit

Thank you Peter for your really great work. Today I encountered a bug in the latest version. When I switch between day and night everything is extremely bright for a short time. Then I also noticed that the UI brightness changes extremely during day or night so that it is not possible to find a balance. If I have set the UI brightness precisely in day mode, it is extremely dark in night mode, and much too bright the other way around. I just tested 2 old Pure and SOL versions, there are none of the problems. Thanks for all.

ENZi

DONT PAY THE MOD DONT (ERORR)

Peter Boese

Didn't you see that you are the only one, that act like stupid. All other people get managed to install it or getting help from me. But you are the first person called me a motherfucker out of no reason. Sure i will give your money back, but please don't come back. No one needs a person like you in a community! I don't know in which universe you live, but what made you so mad? Did you see the other comments? This is the way to communicate with other people! I refund your last payment and PLEASE DON'T COME BACK.

Peter Boese

Which filter do you use? This UI brightness needs a short time to adapt to the surrounded brightness. So it could be that it is too bright for a moment.

Peter Boese

If you use the pure filters, does it also happen?

Ray C

Peter, here can I find a link for the latest SOL update, I need to make sure I'm up to date everywhere. I just installed 1.80 preview

Ray C

Thank you good sir

Alexander Schulze

Since I was running CSP 0.1.80-preview and the last version of pure without any problems I installed today 0.165 but now assetto crashes when I use it with pure (tried several track/car combinations to no avail). As soon as I change the Weather Script back to SOL everything runs smooth again. Any suggestions. I already uninstalled/reinstalled pure 0.165 bit it keeps crashing.

Kapazza

Yes. Turning down dash display brightness helps but when sunrays are strong enough, they still come through the dash display (and RPM LEDs, etc.).

Alexander Schulze

As always following your instructions ;-) I extracted the pure archive to the desktop, ran the installer batch skript, located the AC root folder. To run it I just switched to the pure PPF in the Assetto Video Settings and switched from SOL tu Pure as my Weather script. Checked the settings you recommended in your installer PDF and they all seem fine which seem logic since the previous pure version didn't crash. Very strange indeed.

Peter Boese

Maybe try to copy the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system from the Pure 0.165 7z file to AC root folder directly. Maybe the installer can't copy everything.

NGP

Peter Boese

Maybe try to install CSP manually. Open the 0.1.80 zip and copy the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder.

Peter Boese

Try a manual install. We have many reports, that a manual install solves some problems...

SKY

With this version of pure i get about 15 less fps... I downgraded to 0.155

The 18th Fret

Hi peter, I downloaded and installed 0.165. I was using 0.148 for the last few months and everything was working and looking great in VR. After upgrading to 0.165 I noticed everything looks darker now, both in 1st and 3rd person view. I tried opening the Pure controller from the right side in-game menu and reset everything to default, but it made no difference. Do I just increase the gamma in game manually to get it where I like it? thanks for all your hard work mate

Peter Boese

Did you compare it with the pure filter? Actually in this update no fps relevant things were done.

SKY

Yes. I was using the same pure filter and with this new version i had less fps . I am using NaturalMod filter now wich i find it better for VR .

Peter Boese

IDK, Actually it should not be different. Its always the question, whatr has changed also after you switch to something different. Do you use the same NaturalMod version for Pure 0.155 and 0.165? Would be interesting if you just try the "pure" filter for comparison.

The 18th Fret

Oops, nevermind, I was using Pure Candy filter by mistake, I guess that's why it looked darker. I always use the default Pure filter in VR. After reading your reply, I just switched back to Pure filter and everything's fine again. Cheers!

Alexander Schulze

ok, tried that your suggestion but game still crashes. Have the crashlog if this would by of any help. :-(

Peter Boese

Yes, could help. Did you already tried to install CSP manually? Copy the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder.

DVNKETSU BRA WAT

Aloha peter, everything is great but the Thunder noise is really really overpowering and doesnt sound pleasant even with high quality tower speakers, i saw other comments complaining about a similar issue with thunder or heay rain noises.. during race it would randomly periodically have an onset of really heavy thunder/rain sound that blocks out every other audio

Peter Boese

You can adjust it yourself in Pure Config app.

Geow0n

Hey Peter I had downloaded 0.165 as per the vid and instructions and now my game won’t load up I have the error script and a picture of it if needed . So I installed the 1.55 version to verify it was the update or something on my computer and 1.55 works perfectly with rain no issues any ideas thanks

Geow0n

Will do thanks

Koros563

I had deleted pure and tried reinstalling it as the sun rays/ trees had not been working for me but now i am unable to install it again (not showing in ppfilter/ weather script)

Peter Boese

Did you install it like in the video? You need to extract the whole Pure 0.xxx folder to Desktop and then run the install_pure.bat in that extracted folder.

Koros563

Thanks! is there a way to turn on sun rays? Im pretty new to this sorry

Peter Boese

Just use the "pure" ppfilters for the start. Be sure godrays are activated in the video settings.

Koros563

"sunrays" and "pure" are both on but the godrays arent in effect for some reason

Peter Boese

If you open Pure Config app, switch to the "PP" tab and expand the PP adjustments. There is a godrays slider. Maybe try to dial it to 10.

Koros563

The pp.go draus have been set to 10 and saved but there’s no difference

Stefan Heidsiek

If I install this new version (mine is 0.146), do I have to make my PureConfig settings again?

Peter Boese

If you only use the "install_pure.bat" script then not. It will remove all parts, BUT NOT your settings. Only if you use the "uninstall_pure.bat" script, your personal settings are removed.

Stefan Heidsiek

Thanks for the quick answer and your incredible work.

Stephen

So much glare at night using PureCandy. Doesn’t feel different from last version. Fresh install.

Tristan Guglielmetti

Hello, when i'm driving at night, the interior roof of the car become enlightened, how can i fix this ?

Peter Boese

Lower the "candy" slider. Pure Config app - PP tab.

Peter Boese

If you switch to "default" weather script, is it still there?

Peter Boese

Then it has nothing todo with Pure. It must be a CSP settings. But i don't know which one.

Tristan Guglielmetti

I'm looking for that, it can be a csp bug, the last versions are very unstable and have some bugs.

Rodrigo Alejandro Garrido Suárez

Awesome work :) I installed Sol 2.2.7 with this Pure update, and all is working fine except for one thing. I couldn't get any lighting bolt when playing in storm conditions. There are thunders, but not lighting bolts (not in single screen or VR). All the skydomes seems ok, so maybe is a CSP 1.80 bug or missconfiguration? I've checked the sol render method to be in 2.

Peter Boese

There is no lightning yet in Pure. It will come later. BTW, if you use Pure, you configure it with Pure Config app. Sol and Pure weather script are two different things. If Pure is selected as weather script, Sol weather script is not running.

Rodrigo Alejandro Garrido Suárez

Oh, so everything is fine then :) I thought that with pure there is lighting effects due some youtube videos, but now I think that they were misconfigured (probably only worked with sol). Thank you very much for the quick answer and again awesome work with this mods :)

Jim Cuff

Hi, I have 1.8 CSP, pure .165 and sol 2.2.6 (says 2.4 in script) but it all works and looks great as always. But I do not really seen any difference between clouds and sky box from last 2 years. Your pictures the clouds have stratified look at times, rays and golden hues. Mine always just look like big puffy clouds. I have tried changing from no clouds scattered time of day etc and clouds do not change much.

Peter Boese

You need to activate the skydomes in PureConfig app, "clouds" tab. Set clouds render method to 1.

David Sprkha

Hello Peter, I found about this wierd bug while using various PP filters, including those bundled with Pure https://imgur.com/a/6Q2QYaV The only 'clean' filter is S K Y. Any solution for this, please?

95mark95 M.ocampo

Hi , why can't I see or use pure config? it shows e nothing

Peter Boese

It's not related to weatherFX. This is a wrong setting with an other CSP modul.

Peter Boese

Did you select "Pure" as weather script? Hod did you install Pure?

David Sprkha

Thanks for the reply! Will take a look elsewhere then.

Victor Isikov

Hi. Did I have to install SOL 2.2.7 whit this v0.165 or only have to install the Pure 0.165?

osvaldo flores

hey so i jus seen your install guide on how to install pure but when trying to make the filter "pure" in settings it doesnt appear and i dont know why

Peter Boese

Did you extract the whole Pure 0.165 folder? Did you run the install_pure.bat in that extracted folder? Which folder did you select when it's asking for the AC root folder?

Peter Boese

If you don't use Sol anymore, please uninstall Sol and then only use the Pure 0.165..

Grizzlywolf

I noticed that with Pure, headlights light up the environment and other cars during the day, this does not happen with Sol. Is this a known bug or an issue on my side?

Peter Boese

Actually it depends on the ppfilter and and the car config. But thats what pure is. In Sol the headlights are just cutted while day. With Sol the headlights are still working, but they appear much dimmer, because the daylight is much stronger. But the daylight can be adjusted with the ppfilter script. So if a ppfilter uses very low daylight, the headlight will be bright.

Da Da

Buongiorno ma posso avere sia sol che pure installati assieme?

Peter Boese

Sure. Use Sol 2.2.7 and Pure 0.165. They will work beside each other. Just change between "Pure" or "Sol" as weather script in weatherFX settings.

Grizzlywolf

I see. I feel like a better solution would be to allow headlight/car light emission control per time of day/weather, similar to how sol does it, but without necessarily affecting all of the csp lights.

Peter Boese

But then we are in the same loop. That is the problem in Sol and base wfx. It will never work properly. Just think of the simple problem with tunnels. In a tunnel you would not know if it is day or night.

Meshari !

i have red sky at night

Peter Boese

It's called Night Light Pollution. You can manually override it in Pure Config "Night" tab.

Saif Alazawy

really love it specially the night but i cant balance the dark and the stars on shutoko any advice

894 IO

Hey Peter, best pure version yet looks rly awesome, but i have 1 problem, i cant see the moon at night, i tried a lot but nothing helped, everything else is working fine, do you have any solutions for this?

Peter Boese

Thanks. For the moon: CSP weatherFX simulates correct sun moon and stars positions. Please open Sol Planner app. There you see a sun and a moon symbol. The moon symbol shows you the moon phase and the number shows you the angle. If this is below 0, you can't see the moon, because it is below the horizon. Just use the date Buttons to cycle through the days. So weatherFX can also be used as a little planetarium.

jean louis nissen

Hello Peter, one more time, GREAT JOB 😁 Is it possible to increase the breaking light in pure config?

WilWest12

Good evening, Please can someone help me because my windshield wipers are not removing the rain from the windshield of the car. How can I settle this? thanks in advance

Peter Boese

It's then a problem with the car mod. Does it work with the standard cars? Rain and all its problems is part of CSP. Sol or Pure just controlling the rain amount.

mark

I had this problem with CSP 1.80. Had to roll back to 1.79

Joel Expósito

Hello Peter, I have followed the installation process and everything is fine, but when I enter a game the game looks blurry and low quality, I have tried to configure all the pure and sun settings and I have followed the installation process of several videos, but it still looks bad, I don't know what can cause it since I have good components.

Peter Boese

If you switch to "default" weather script, does it still look blurry?

Joel Expósito

no, but the image quality is almost the same

Fabian Schulz

hello, after the installation in the content manager i don't get the possibility to select the pure0.165 weather script. I only have sol v.2.2.7 to choose from

Fabian Schulz

just like in your youtube video, first uninstall.bat in the ac root folder, then install.bat

Peter Boese

You need to extract the whole "Pure 0.165" folder to desktop with 7zip. Then go into that folder and run the "install_pure.bat", select the AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa). Don't know why you said "uninstall.bat in the ac root folder"? Do you mean the Sol uninstall?

Fabian Schulz

I have installed it several times exactly as you have described it here again. nevertheless there was not in the content manager in the weather script. I have now also dragged and dropped the boch pure folder into the content manager, now I can also select pure v0.165.

Paria23

Hello, since installing version 0.165, my game crashes and displays an unexpected error. Everything works when I go back to the 0.155. Do you have an idea of the problem?

Peter Boese

How did you install it? You need to extract the whole Pure 0.165 folder to Desktop with 7zip. Then run the install_pure.bat in that extracted folder. You could also try to reinstall CSP manually. If you already have a preview version, open the download zip file and extract the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder.

Fabian Schulz

I now had a whitesky, when I use the weather script (sol2.2.7) everything runs as usual. (60fps) If I switch it to pure, it only runs at 25fps, and with a whitesky. I have now tried pure v0.155 and pure v0.154, no sky everywhere. I use the shaders patch 0.1.80 controller script : sol2.42 I don't know what it can be. is my rtx3070 too weak?

Peter Boese

No. It is not install right, please try this. Open the Pure 0.165 7z and copy the folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder. This will install it too...

Fabian Schulz

oh ok.. as simple as it used to be.. yes, things are looking good again now. Thanks

hassan Alobeidli

Hi I Have a Problem in Pure Config its not Working Can You Fix For Me Plz

Peter Boese

Did you select "Pure" as weather script in weatherFX settings? Maybe it is just collapsed and you need to expand it with the little arrow upper right.

Stunning Nature

i download pure and it says file not found

Peter Boese

There are 2 links, a mega and mediafire link. Did you try both links?

Luke Durrant

Hi Peter i just installed pure 0.165 but now my game crashes and it comes with an error can you help but i did install it on top of 0.154 and now the game comes up with error messages while loading in game

Peter Boese

Please try to reinstall CSP. The safest way ist to install it manually. If you have a preview version, please open the zip file and copy the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder. I recommend to use CSP 0.1.79 or 0.1.80p115.

Luke Durrant

can i message you on Discord please Peter so i can send you a screenshot of the problem

Luke Durrant

Hi Peter what's your name on Discord

Peter Boese

Just write in the Sol/Pure Discord "install" channel.

Luke Durrant

Basically when i install it with install bat and its says files not found on sky domes ppfilters and other stuffin the cmd part also whats going on didn't have any problems the first time i installed 0.148

Peter Boese

Did you extract the whole Pure 0.165 folder to desktop, before you run the install_pure.bat in that extracted folder?

Luke Durrant

Yes i did clicked on the install bat file pointed it to my AC Folder and it gives errors while installing with files not found i don't know what to do i am now my game still works the only problem is i am having to go back to using Sol again i have now completely uninstalled the old Pure i was using

Peter Boese

You can also try to open the downloaded 7z file and copy the folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder directly. This will install it too, but without removing the former version.

Junior_the_bg

Hi Peter I followed all the instructions but my crash game, I reinstall CSP many times but the crash game still. Do you have a solution?

Peter Boese

How did you reinstall CSP? Did you already reinstalled it manually, by copying the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder?

Junior_the_bg

I tried every way to install CSP but nothing changes (i have CSP 0.1.79)

Peter Boese

i had exactly the some problem 5 min ago in Discord. It was solved by a manual update of Content Manager and a manual reinstall of CSP: download ContentManager.zip from here: https://github.com/gro-ove/actools/releases replace your ContentManager.exe with the one inside the zip. download CSP: https://acstuff.ru/patch/?get=0.1.79 open the zip and extract the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to your AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa) start CM and check the CM version in settings->content manager->general App version should be 0.8.2467.39678 check the video settings in setting Assetto Corsa - video, select the Pure ppfilter. If no ppfilter is selected here, the game will crash as well. select "Pure" as weather script in settings CSP weatherFX. Run a session.

Junior_the_bg

yes all work ! Thanks fot your help on discord !

Carv

Hey Peter, 2 questions. Should I enable fxaa? And My headlights are two bright and I am trying to find a setting to lower the intensity. For example my headlights sometimes blurs other vehicles. I tried Cars lit multiplier but this does not change anything. Im using pure candy btw Thanks in advance.

TR335HY

hi peter, could you tell us how soon we can expect to see lightning available with pure? thank you

Peter Boese

No, sorry. Atm I'm working on another new shader for Pure. But I'm sure this will lead me faster to a nice lightning Shader.

Luke Durrant

Hi Peter i uninstalled Sol and installed Sol 2.27 that all works fine so i decided to try and install Pure 0.165 from fresh and all installed fine i followed everything in your tutorial but i start a session and it comes up with game crashed with a load of numbers saying file name not available and ac game app game update game on idle do you know any other solutions to the problem

Go into that folder and run the install_pure.bat, select the AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa/). If you still got crashes, try to update CM and CSP manually: download ContentManager.zip from here: https://github.com/gro-ove/actools/releases replace your ContentManager.exe with the one inside the zip. download CSP: https://acstuff.ru/patch/?get=0.1.79 OR if you have a CSP preview version, use that zip. open the zip and extract the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to your AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa) start CM and check the CM version in settings->content manager->general App version should be 0.8.2467.39678 check the video settings in setting Assetto Corsa - video, select the Pure ppfilter.

Luke Durrant

Ok i haven't tried that i will give it go my CM version is 0.8.2393.39063 and i am running CSP preview 1.80 preview115 do i need to update it possibly

Peter Boese

no, its the latest version, but please do all the steps and reinstall it manually

Luke Durrant

does content manager have a folder to replace the exe or do you just drag the new on the desktop

Peter Boese

where is you current ContentManager.exe placed?

Peter Boese

then replace this. Btw you can awnser right here in this post. Then you don't create a new post every time...

Luke Durrant

One more thing Peter can i still use CSP preview 1.80 115 or will i have to use 1.79

Peter Boese

Sure, try 0.179 and please don't open new post every time, just awnser in this post!

Luke Durrant

Hi Peter well i tried everything that you said done it all correctly but still no luck i load up the game and it crashes and i get this error how do i fix this - Error might have something to do with: AC\game.cpp (261): Game::update AC\game.cpp (261): Game::update AC\game.cpp (261): Game::update AC\game.cpp (112): Game::onIdle AC\game.cpp (210): Game::run AC\acs.cpp (477): wWinMain f:\dd\vctools\crt\crtw32\dllstuff\crtexe.c (618): __tmainCRTStartup

Peter Boese

I just looked in the internet. The people solved this crash by removing the configs. Goto your documents folder: rename the "Assetto Corsa" folder to something different. restart CM, select Sol 2.4 as weather controller and "Pure" as weather script, select the pure ppfilter and start a session. It will be restored with default settings then.

Luke Durrant

Ok have you came across this error message before

Luke Durrant

Thank you Peter its all now working just have to redo all my saved settings other than that thank you very much i appreciate you helping me sorry for the hastle

Hello, thanks for the answers. I followed your instructions 2 times without success. The game crashes. Now I spend more time trying to install the mod than playing. I will wait for a new update or version that can be installed without problems. Your work is amazing.

Peter Boese

But a new update will not change something in that direction. If it is not working now, than the new update will also not work. A crash could have many reasons. It would be better you you go to Sol/Pure Discord server and post the crash log. Outerwise a try to solve this is realy difficult. If you switch to "default" weather script and it is still crashing, then it could be a CSP setting.

KubaSr 1337

does anyone know how to fix the error with pure, it shows me that the reflections are set to static and in the game I have six faces per frame

Peter Boese

Just ignore it, sometimes it can not get the right setting because of the user name in windows. If you set it right, then it's OK.

KubaSr 1337

so should i leave it like that?

Peter Boese

Yes, Its just important that is not set to static.

IJghiuyg dwadawd

Hello , My game crashes whenever i use CSP 1.80 and Pure However it works when i use CSP 1.79 Does anyone know how to solve this issue since when i revert i no longer have the rain fx , This is the error message shown . Critical error: ERROR: Reverb node does not exist:

Peter Boese

Did you try another track or car. This error comes with content like tracks or cars! If this is the case, just try to delete this certain mod/content and reinstall it manually, NOT via Content Manager. Otherwiese you can also try this: download ContentManager.zip from here: https://github.com/gro-ove/actools/releases replace your ContentManager.exe with the one inside the zip. download CSP: https://acstuff.ru/patch/?get=0.1.79 OR if you have a CSP preview version, use that zip. open the zip and extract the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to your AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa) start CM and check the CM version in settings->content manager->general App version should be 0.8.2467.39678

Hakan Can Yıldırım

Hello Peter, the game crashes when ı install the pure 0.165 and csp 1.80. Im tryed to extract the dwrite.dll of version 0.1.79 and its working but the sky is completely black and cant control the pure config. Im tried different tracks and cars but have the same problem.

Peter Boese

Please install Pure 0.165 the right way! Open the Pure 0.165 7z file with 7zip app. Extract the whole Pure 0.165 folder to Desktop. Go into that folder and run the install_pure.bat. Select the AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa)

Hakan Can Yıldırım

I already do that but its not working with 0.165 version. Im tryed to extract the dwrite.dll of version 0.1.79 and its working but the sky is completely black. The 0.155 version is working.

Peter Boese

Do you only extract the dwrite.dll or also the extension folder?

Hakan Can Yıldırım

If I extract only dwrite or only extension, I get a game driver error, it doesn't open at all. Csp 1.80 + pure 0.165 = crash csp 1.80(1.79 dwrite.dll) + pure 0.165 = works but black sky csp 1.79 + pure 0.165 = crash

Peter Boese

if you install it manually, you need to extract BOTH dwrite.dll and extension folder. Its a bundle. Extracting a single one will not work. Did you update your Content Manager too? download ContentManager.zip from here: https://github.com/gro-ove/actools/releases replace your ContentManager.exe with the one inside the zip. start CM and check the CM version in settings->content manager->general App version should be 0.8.2467.39678

Hakan Can Yıldırım

I did it now but not working. Everything is correct but just 0.165 is not working. Version 0.155 works fine whats the problem here.

Peter Boese

Oh, crazy, but i'm glad it works for you now. Have a nice day....

TheBadBone23

Hi! Anyone else noticed that the puddles are not very visible on this new update? Or it's just me? For some reason the puddles, even at 100% are barely visible close to the edge of the road, on any track.

Peter Boese

With CSP 1.80p115 the puddles system was changed and they actually are calculated by the map surface. So if you use a map with a very bumpy track, they should look different. Please keep in mind that Pure is not CSP. Pure is just a weather script, which is like a graphics mod. Rain and it's look is related to CSP RainFX, which is not my work...

TheBadBone23

Valid point in regards to the CSP but this change occurred only after the latest Pure update. For example on the tourist Nordschleife map it used to look good. Thank you for your reply, I'll keep digging, see if I can find anything else that might have triggered this issue.

Martijn Kuijpers

Hi Peter, just a quick question. I was playing with the PURE settings because I’m still a bit hunting for some extra FPS. How does the quality settings in de Pure config screen react on frames vs quality? Will the Low preset deliver much more frames but will it also look shit, or aren’t the differences that big? Thanks.

Peter Boese

Those 4 quality presets will only adjust settings of the 3d clouds. If you have selected the skydomes, which is the default setting (with highres skydomes textures and no moving clouds), those quality presets will not change anything. Actually there is no setting, which changes the fps in Pure. But AC video settings and CSP settings will have a huge impact on fps.

Martijn Kuijpers

Thanks Peter! I’m on a 49” monitor so every frame is welcome ;)

Daniel Queiroz

what version of sol do i need for this update also im coming from pure v.148

Daniel Queiroz

thank you for the reply, I really do appreciate your time and help. I will try these out and let you know how it all works out. Thank you again <3

Peter Boese

2.2.7, the latest on Racedepartment. It's just about the controller and the Sol apps. They need to be compatible.

Floveninski

Hi Peter ! i m a little lost what's the best to install ? SOL 2.2.7 or PURE 1.65?

Peter Boese

Just install both and then you can switch between Sol and Pure weather script in weatherFX. You will loose nothing.

Floveninski

okok when i have the choice between pure 0.165 and sol 2.2.7 in content manager at wheather fx onglet i have to choose what pure is better ?

Peter Boese

There are many things why Pure is better. It has a better lighting system, it has a better code for fluid framerates, it has skydome textures which saves you many fps and it has a way better exposure managment. There are no fluctuations when you move the camera.

Peter Boese

Hello, no sorry. I'm more focused on developing new shaders for better fog, lightnings and clouds. Also there is always the question what "realistic" is. In terms of a ppfilter, this is always mostly subjective and it depends from the taste of the user and also of the users monitor or displaying device. So I can't fulfill such needs for a high amount of users.

kelnor34

Dear Peter, Absolutly stuning job with 0.165, but... With Pure app, I can't play with the moon reflection on car or tarmac. It works with Pure Candy PPF. But, I use, as always, my own PPF I think I miss something, but I search since few hours, and don't found any solution. I need help, Please. Regards

Peter Boese

Have you already tried the light.sun.speculars parameter? Sure I need to separate this in further versions. The moonlight uses the AC light source in Pure and so the specular reflection is actually the sun specular. For now use this. I will separate this sun angle based and add a parameter moon.speculars.

kelnor34

Ok thx so much, gonna try it, and again you do since few years an outstanding job ! Thx for us.

kelnor34

Sadly, It doesn't change anything.... Waiting for a future update maybe. No worries, you do a fantastic stuff ! ;) Thx

Bryan Nguyen

installing the first time, follow install instruction, but the pure isnt showing in wather fx setting. pls help

Peter Boese

You extracted the whole Pure 0.165 folder to Desktop with 7zip app? Then you need to run the install_pure.bat in that folder! Which folder did you select if it asks you to select the AC root folder?

Niki Nielsen

I Can't install 0.1.79 csp version (recommended). Rain doesn't show (i have paid) and wipers can't be controlled manually anymore. This happened after i paid for pure and installed it as instructed. I can control Pure ingame, so it is installed but something is crashing ?

Peter Boese

please look in the "Pure 0.165" post. You need a CSP preview version for the rain! Rain is a modul of CSP and only available in preview versions. Pure is just controlling it.

Niki Nielsen

Can you specify which version, because i can't get it working ?

Peter Boese

Please awnser in the question directly. CSP has certain preview versions. They all got rain, but the latest version (0.1.80p115) for example has a new rain physics. So you need to download 0.1.80p1 or 115. And better you install it manually. Open the zip file and copy the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa)

Niki Nielsen

Ok i'll do that. Thanks for helping out. I hope i answered the right way. I'm new to pc and mods in AC etc. So i'm at the deep end of the pool in this.

Peter Boese

Yes, this is the right way. Just ask if you have problems...

Niki Nielsen

Over at Ilja's page i can see someone else has the same as me with the rain not working. Everything else does. I Love the way that Pure looks by the way. It's really calm for the eyes :)

Soviet_

My pure config GUI ticks and unusable, how to fix it?

Peter Boese

Can you explain it a little bit more. Maybe Microsoft Ondrive is active for your Documents/Assetto Corsa folder. The best way is to uninstall Ondrive, if you not need it.

Soviet_

I don't how to explain it more to you, my Onedrive is disabled, the GUI does wor but like ticks, somewhat opens and closes fast, and none of the buttons work to me.

Ricardo Pereira

unable to download, file seems corrupted or both servers down

Peter Boese

No, they are working. I constantly checking them.

Seppe Bogaerts

if i open my menu in asseto carso for pure it flickers can someone help me pls

Sean Doran

I'm having issues too. Download went fine. Pure config doesn't work for me. For example it wont let me click ultra or low or anything. And if it does let me, there is no effect.... Going back to 2.2.7. Not finding a lot of other people having issues. Perplexed..

Anson Deng

does this work with sol

Peter Boese

Please install it like it is described in the install guide or in the video. You need to extract the whole Pure 0.165 folder to Desktop with 7zip app. Then go into this folder and run the install_pure.bat. Select the AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa).

Seppe Bogaerts

i do not have all the files it is just 1 thing with no other things in but i have my filters but it is not proberly installed i think bc if i open the menu for pure it is flickering and saying things

Peter Boese

Pure is a separat weatherFX script. If you want to use it in parallel to Sol, please install the latest Sol version 2.2.7. Pure and Sol using same parts, like Sol Planner.

Peter Boese

Could you please open CSP Lua debug app and switch to weatherFX impl. Tab. If there is a red error, please post it here. How did you install it? You need to extract the whole Pure 0.165 folder to Desktop with 7zip app. Then you go into that folder and run the install_pure.bat and select the AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa). Also it could be that Microsoft Onedrive is accessing your Documents folder and restoring older files. It is better you completely uninstall Microsoft Onedrive. If you need it, then deactivate it for your Documents/Assetto Corsa folder.

Fatty Patty

My parameters go to 0 and a new category is added called NoPure and I can't change anything

Peter Boese

You could hit the "activate Pure" button there?! Which CSP version do you use?

Anson Deng

I have sol 2.2.7, so how do I use both at the same time?

Peter Boese

You can't use both at the same time. You switch between Sol and Pure weather script in weatherFX settings. Sol 2.2.7 and Pure 0.165 are separate weather scripts (graphic mods). You can have installed them both. As weather controller you could use Sol 2.4 controller. This is the weather controller with Sol Planner app. Weather script and controller are separated. So you can use any controller with any script.

Luke Durrant

Hi Peter i was playing my Assetto Corsa yesterday you helped me get Pure 0.165 installed all working fine for the last couple of weeks with no issues and today i went to start it and i am now getting this error again for no reason just out of the blue i haven't changed any of the files and now i am back to getting this now on startups basically i have the same problem again to what i had a couple of weeks ago can you help also you mentioned i had to rename the assetto corsa folder in documents and that fixed the problem but but now its gone back to assetto corsa again - Error might have something to do with: 00007FF978F3AD60 (DWrite): (filename not available): DWriteCreateFactory 00007FF978F3B99C (DWrite): (filename not available): DWriteCreateFactory 00007FF978F45DE0 (DWrite): (filename not available): DWriteCreateFactory 00007FF978F16848 (DWrite): (filename not available): DWriteCreateFactory 00007FF978F060BA (DWrite): (filename not available): DWriteCreateFactory AC\game.cpp (261): Game::update AC\game.cpp (261): Game::update AC\game.cpp (261): Game::update AC\game.cpp (112): Game::onIdle AC\game.cpp (210): Game::run AC\acs.cpp (477): wWinMain f:\dd\vctools\crt\crtw32\dllstuff\crtexe.c (618): __tmainCRTStartup 00007FFA53BA7604 (KERNEL32): (filename not available): BaseThreadInitThunk 00007FFA544226A1 (ntdll): (filename not available): RtlUserThreadStart

i done all that still get the same error i renamed the file in documents and it worked then when i went to set the weather script to Pure and controller script to sol 2.4 it crashes again HELP i don't know whats caused it

Peter Boese

If you set the weather script and controller to "default", does it work again?

Luke Durrant

Yes it works with Sol and i changed it to pure then it crashes again i got it working the last time you helped me but i went on it today and just randomly started getting that error message again i showed you earlier i don't know what else to do

Luke Durrant

its been working fine for the last 2 weeks and now i am suddenly getting this without warning just not happy about it

Peter Boese

Sorry, but something has changed then. If everything is the same and nothing has changed, it would not crash. If it works for the most people it's not an error in general, it's a combination of settings. If you rename the "Assetto Corsa" folder in your documents path, all settings are reset. Could it be that some process or app is accessing your AC files? Things don't change out of the blue.

Luke Durrant

Hi Peter do you think i should uninstall Pure 0.165 and then reinstall it again would that fix it potentially

Anson Deng

So I use sol 2.4 as controller and pure for the script?

k1mby

Hello. Can you please tell me how to set up cm and the server so that the weather and time of day are clearly stored in the replay? It happens that on the server it is daytime, and in the replay it is night, and it does not change through sol (

ACD

in pure config (IN-GAME) you go to 'shaders' and then you lower 'rainhaze'. or you can turn it off

thank you, I will carry out these steps.

adi518

I have duplicated SOL weather presets after installing Pure (pretty sure, it wasn't like that before). Is there an easy fix?

Peter Boese

If you have an older version of Sol still installed, please install the newest version of it (2.2.7) or uninstall Sol and install Pure again...

i cant change some of the pure config settings

Will Margetson

hi, I'm new here. Looking at some old guides, VAO patches were mentioned a lot but I can't find them in my pure folder, was the method of installing them changed? thx :)

Peter Boese

I distribute them in former versions, but now the track modders and other people are doing them. So with time the track's will have correct VAO patches.

Peter Boese

It relies to the used ppfilter. If values are showing orange, the ppfilter script author intentionally wants to fix this parameter. Just try the pure standard ppfilters, there you change every parameter.

bob bob

i want to install this plugin on Pop!_OS Linux how to do it without file install_pure.bat ??? CM and CSP already installed and working on Steaam and lasted GE-Proton 7-54 on my Pop!_OS Linux

Peter Boese

Just copy the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder. Congrats for running CSP in Linux...

Jacopo Di Giuli

Thank you Peter as always for your great work and continued support of this fantastic project! One question on the fly: when is the "return" of lightning expected during thunderstorms in PURE?

Peter Boese

I'm currently educating myself in Shader development. So I'm working on many projects for Pure to integrate better fog, clouds and also lightning. But I don't know the time to get a release version of this new shaders. Sorry for that. Atm I'm working on the new tonemapping which will come with the new CSP. So the next version is a small update on ppfilters.

Jacopo Di Giuli

Ok thanks for your reply! I eagerly await the arrival of these new shaders, especially for lightning in thunderstorms! Thanks again!

bob bob

Thank you! I didn’t express myself exactly, in fact, most of the CSP functions do not work, even the GUI menu from CSP is not in the game ... I want to understand what this could be connected with ...

bob bob

After installing PURE, my FPS dropped to 30 and less before that it was 150-200+.

Hi, Peter. I'm looking for resources on how to make a Pure Script for a PP Filter to use with pure. Do you have any documentation to help?

Morning Peter I'm having a game crash with 0.165 I've reverted back to 0.155 I have located the Crash File for Pure 0.165 in extensions/weather/pure/world/clouds/2d/class_weather.lua Currently don't know the reason for this but the 0.155 version works fine.

Peter Boese

ok thanks, i have a look into this, but it works with many other users. How did you installed it? here are some steps to avoid the most crashes with CM, CSP and Pure: Extract the whole Pure 0.165 folder to desktop. Go into that folder and run the install_pure.bat, select the AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa/). If you still got crashes, try to update CM and CSP manually: download ContentManager.zip from here: https://github.com/gro-ove/actools/releases replace your ContentManager.exe with the one inside the zip. download CSP: https://acstuff.ru/patch/?get=0.1.79 OR if you have a CSP preview version, use that zip. open the zip and extract the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to your AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa) start CM and check the CM version in settings->content manager->general App version should be 0.8.2467.39678 check the video settings in setting Assetto Corsa - video, select the Pure ppfilter. If no ppfilter is selected here, the game will crash as well. select "Pure" as weather script in settings CSP weatherFX. Run a session.

Hi Peter I used to have beautiful thick white smoke now it doesn'

george burrell

show up anymore no more smoke any ideas

The Galaxy

I tried a lot of things here I have the latest version of CM with csp 0.1.80 preview 115 I always manual install I've never once had problems with pure I'm pretty good with AC know a lot of the crashing problems but this was something completely new. Also pure 0.165 did work at a stage but now it crashes everytime I load in with 0.165.

Peter Boese

Did you already try to manually copy the pure files (apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder)?

The Galaxy

Yes I have have done almost everything I could to try to get it working like I said the crash file is extensions/weather/pure/world/clouds/2d/class_weather.lua this file is from 0.165 pure

Peter Boese

You could send me the file, so I can compare it. But actually I use the same pure installer on other PCs and they work. Maybe you download the 7z again and extract it and scan it with your anti-virus. Maybe there is some issue. If you delete the "pure" folder in extension/weather, is the 2d/class_weather.lua present after a new install of Pure 0.165?

The Galaxy

I have DM you on Patreon and its still crashes after puting Pure 0.165

The Galaxy

I do not have your discord name mine is garinallstar#2813 but I have messaged you through Patreon!

The Galaxy

I have DM'd you on Discord with the files

Radster

Go in game find Sol Plan Selector and just adjust Smoke Thickness above 100%

Ralph

Hello, I've noticed a glitch with mirrors. I play with VR and it only shows reflections for my left eye- the other eye shows black in the car mirrors. This issue isn't present in the non-preview build.

Ralph

or I need to check with x4fab about this?

Anton Gorlanov

Hi Pete! Amazing work Man! One thing i noticed, in 0.155 Pure, CSP emissive Light were a bit different, as it showed really nice lense flares, and i loved them so much. In 0.165 When u toggle CSP lighs emissive, headlights and interior lights just become blury and round without star shape looking flares and stuff. Tryed every setting but it just looks 90 degree differeent. Overal the quality is absolutely gorgeous . All in all 10 out of 10! Legend. If possible, would love to see the option to change the shape of the lights. Same thing go to Street lights at night. They are round shape without flares as it was before. PS. No bugs or wrong installation, or settings. Tryed to reset to default, same thing.

andrea calabria

Hi peter, how can those raindrops that come out of the f1 wheels when it rains be eliminated?they are badly made, they are too big and they also follow the curves, they are really unreal.. can you help me?

Peter Boese

It depends on the ppfilter. Did you already try pureCandy?

Seppe Bogaerts

when is comming a better version is it evy month or wath

Peter Boese

What should be better? What is the problem?

Rucci Texas

I'm having an issue where my render keeps restarting and my skies are consistently flashing between Sol, and Pure. I reinstalled Pure and Sol Should I try reinstalling CM?

Peter Boese

It sounds like the Microsoft Onedrive problem. If you don't need it, uninstall it. If you need it, deactivate it for your Documents/Assetto Corsa folder.

piouf

hey I always had this problem no matter what I do if I reinstall or not no matter what versions of pure I have pure filters and in weathers fx pure is well checked but when I go in games impossible to see pure config

Lewis Bloom

Hello Peter, little problem with rear view tv cameras in cars being super bright, any ideas or can you point me to if there is a setting I need to change to fix this? Thanks for all the work AC looks so bloody good!

Peter Boese

Those need to be fixed in AC. Their exposure does not adapt to the new world brigntess..

Peter Boese

Try to install Pure manually by copying the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder.

Kari Burton

That would be csp contact ilja

Rapty

Hey Peter, I noticed with the new CSP version in WeatherFX there is only one dropdown called Weather Style, instead of the old two. Does this cause any issues for Pure since SOL cannot be selected anymore? Thanks.

Peter Boese

Goto "Drive" in CM and click on weather. There you have the controllers now...

Gareth Howells

It would seem the new CSP doesn't work well with Pure - it's very bright and washed out now. Is it the same for you too?

Peter Boese

No, please have a look at the reflectionFX settings and deactivate "shoot Cubemap around car instead of...." It will be added to the upcoming Pure settings checklist.

JDMWarrior2J

new csp preview gives me black skies, any way around this

Peter Boese

Please lock into the CSP patreon post. First install the new Content Manager. Then install the CSP 1.79 version in settings CSP about&info. After this go to the CSP patreon post and click on the link inside the text at the bottom. This forces CM to install the newest versions.

Quinto Gala

also me the new cps makes the sky black

Peter Boese

Please look at the awnser of the post above yours!

Tim Muston

I had to manually copy the file 'dlwrite.dll' to the AC root folder. That fixed the black sky for me.

Max Schrappe

EDIT: Just upgraded to the new CSP and came back to normal! Hi Peter, I'm getting a weird situation with onboard cams. Every cam with 60 or more of FOV clips the entire scenery showing only some shadows, groove lines, etc. I don't know if it's related to PURE/SOL but I disabled CSP and this still happened, so I thought it might be, also don't happen in AC vanilla. Here comes the link to an image to exemplify better: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15w_H48VUUeBpbOQos93-hMxKsyaSfReY/view?usp=share_link If this is not related to PURE/SOL would be nice to have an opinion in what could be.

Treel

I already installed it around 4 times, but it failed. I mean it says installed, but I cant choose any Pure options ingame. CSP is also the newest version:( UPDATE: Fixed it by dragging the files one by one into the assetto corsa files:)

januarysnow

Wondering if anyone here knows - as im a bit confused about the difference between Pure and Sol controller etc, but ive got everything working - however I use a custom career mod - and I can change the weather to what I want ingame, but is there any way to have the weather randomized on every session start? I think the old Sol could run scripts that had random weathers, but im not sure how to achieve the same with Pure, I can edit the event.ini to add a specific weather name, but thats not Random or dynamic :(

januarysnow

Thanks Peter, I can access the Sol Controller in practices etc, but the problem is that in the career mode, they have fixed Weather set for that series, for example: "Clear" and you cant edit that. Now in Content Manager, the only way to set the Sol Controller as active controller is in the "Drive" menu when selecting weather. So I cant set the Sol controller for that event, wheras before I could set the controller in the Weather FX settings page, now I cant use Sol Controller at all in custom career events. The only way to edit the weather seems to be to edit the event.ini to set a specific weather name, but im not sure how that would need to be named to invoke the Sol controller

Quinto Gala

Thank u the issue was that I installed new Cps in old content manager I didn't know there was a new cm version

Quinto Gala

I installed the new cps in the old cm forgot to install new cm version thanx❤ we appreciate ur work

Peter Boese

Just select the sol 2.4 controller in the Drive / weather menu. Then start a challenge. You see sol planner still works. In Sol Planner press a preset button. Then build a plan, like some random weather. Then check the checkbox left next to the preset button. This will load this plan the next time you start AC.

januarysnow

Sorry this does not work, I select Sol as the controller in the weather drop-down menu for the quick drive session. I set the preset for 100% heavy rain in a quick drive session in Sol Planner, I tick the box for that preset, it starts raining. I quit out of that , and go into the career session, click the sol planner app and it says "Sol Controller is not running" and that preset is not active, its still Clear. It seems like the weather set in event.ini for the career is overriding anything else, and the Sol controller cannot even start in a custom career. Previous to the UI change in CM , I could set the Sol Controller globally for all races, career or quick or anything, and it worked, so this appears to be a regression on the part of CSP/CM? If there is no fix, I suppose I could create my own single weather type folder in content/weather , set each event.ini to reference that weather, then write a quick Python script to swap other weather files into that folder randomly lol.

Lewis Bloom

Thanks for the super quick reply Peter. Its something I can live with then.

Dennis Meyer

Hi, i have just fresh installed Pure with Sol 2.4 and i have high FPS drops if i enable Pure in the Weather FX as Weather Script. Anyone else facing those issues?

~Zephyrine. K~

I already miss the lens flare from .155 in PureCandy, but .165 seems to run run so much smoother. Keep up the great work! Edit: I found the lens flares and much more.

Tyler Brooks

where did ya find the settings to get them back? i havent updated and love how the flare looks too

x3jacky

Hi, Anyone can help me, Im using pure and my game sky became very very birght and cant even see clound

Peter Boese

Please deactivate CM - settings - CSP - reflectionsFX - "Shot cubemap around car...." Why did you set this. Did you followed someones settings? Like in a video or post?

Peter Boese

How did you install it? You need to extract the whole "Pure 0.165" folder to Desktop with 7zip app! Then launch the install_pure.bat inside this folder!

XinegO

Hi. How to get SOL 2.4? I only have 2.0 and 2.2

Peter Boese

Install the latest Sol 2.2.7 and Pure 0.165.

Peter Boese

Please find out where your real ContentManager.exe is placed and replace it with the one from Ilja's patreon. Then follow the steps. I'm tired now... Maybe you renamed it to Assetto Corsa.exe?! This is one start option of CM. Or just extract the new CM exe to Desktop and launch this...

Bastian

i fix it thx for the fast suport

Franck Modding Passion

Hello Mr Boese? I'm problème for Sol 2.2.7 and Pure 0.165. I installed everything by following the guide, but once in game I have an error message on the "Sol Planner", there is a message that tells me: --------------------------------------- - Sol 2.2 controller not working Please select "Sol2.2" as controller script in CM: Setting -> Custom shader patch -> weatherFX Controller script does not work in replays or online sessions! -------------------------------------------- While before putting the latest version everything was working fine... I selected SOL 2.4 in "Controller script" and Pure in "Weather style" in CM...

Franck Modding Passion

Probleme solved, the probleme is the Shader Light Patch 1.80 preview 218

Ethan

Hey Franck I am having the same problem however, I am 1.79! Is there anything that you can think of that will fix this problem?

Optex_ 12

were is download link

Peter Boese

Just have a look in the post. There is a big download symbol. Just download the highres pack from Mediafire OR mega.

Anthony Lee

I was getting 100+ FPS with just SOL but after installing Pure with the .bat file, I'm capped at 40. My PC specs are very similar to Amatertu (I'm using all of his settings too), so I'm not sure what's wrong.

Peter Boese

Please install Pure the described way. Extract the whole Pure 0.165 folder to Desktop with 7zip app and run the install_pure.bat in that extracted folder.

Anthony Lee

That's what I did, even retried it just now. I'm on Sol 2.4, CSP 0.1.79. Selected Sol 2.4 and Pure on Weather FX. The game runs fine and looks amazing, it's just the low FPS kills the experience. Even when I go back to just Sol I can't get FPS back up. I've upgraded my graphics driver. Power options are on high. I've got a 5600X, 3060Ti, and 32GB of RAM. Was easily getting over 100 FPS before. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling AC, still the same.

Peter Boese

Did you use the skydomes? Clouds render method 2? Pure Config app "clouds" Maybe you can also try to install CSP manually. Download it from acstuff.ru Then extract the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder.

Anthony Lee

I only see 1 or 0, it was set to 1 from Amatertu's config file. Installed CSP manually but no change. Seems like the only way to up FPS (barely) is to turn down a bunch of settings in CM > AC > Video. It's just weird because I feel like based on my PC spec I should be able to run at higher framerates, like Amatertu presumably is. The only difference is that I'm on a 49" 5120 * 1440 120hz panel whereas he's on 1080. In cockpit view with his high video settings I'm getting low to mid 30s on Touge Life #5. Looks so good that I may just live with the FPS hit. Even reinstalled CM. Multiple tries of reinstalling Sol, CSP, and Pure, no luck.

Peter Boese

Actually Pure should run as fast, if not even faster as Sol, so maybe you just try it with CSP default settings. Idk what is set in this file. But yes, render method 1 is the right one. Is there any error if you open the CSP lua debug app? Switch to the "weather impl." tab. Actually it would be better you go to Sol/Pure Discord app. The chat in patreon is not realy capable to solve problems: https://discord.gg/nJUMnp6Q

Count Davis

Hi Guys, I am experiencing the same problems as Anthony. Before the latest Pure update, I had my FPS set to 90 so the sim would run smoothly. With this latest Pure 0.165, I am getting just 19 FPS. I've been messing around with the CSP's, installing, reinstalling, following the notes but no joy. I have just swapped to a Sol filter and everything works again!. So I cannot use Pure 0.165. My settings are CSP 1.79, Sol 2.4, Filter Sol. RTX 3090, Ryzen 3800x, 32GB.

Peter Boese

How did you install Pure? Did you extract the whole Pure 0.165 folder to Desktop with 7zip app and then run the install_pure.bat in that extracted folder? You can also try to install CSP manually, by copying the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to AC root folder.

Count Davis

Hi Peter, Yeah I extracted the whole Pure 0.165 to my desk top and then ran the install. It works but the FPS is really low. I will use the uninstaller and try again. Thank you

Count Davis

Hi Peter, Good news! I used Pure uninstaller and then re-installed it again with Pure 0.165 from my desk top. Just carried out a test drive around Nordschleife and my FPS has increased to 89 in VR. Much better! There are still a few micro stutters which I don't get with Sol, but that's probably down to settings adjustments required at my end. The colours in Pure 0.165 look fantastic. The rain visuals are not working but I think that's because im using CSP 0.179. Thank you for your help with this 😉

Peter Boese

Ah. Nice it's working now. Yes, you would need CSP preview to get rain...

Galaxy -_- Aymane

Hey Peter, so i was having problems with sol planner and i thought pure was problem until i discovered that csp was in fact the problem but it was too late, i had already deleted pure, at least i tried but it said that it did'nt find the files and now i'm stuck i can neither install pure or uninstall it and it doesn't appear in cm. Do you have any solutions i could try ?

Peter Boese

Just try to open the Pure 0.165.7z and extract the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder. This will install it too...

Galaxy -_- Aymane

it saiys that theres 204 same files instead of the usual 7

Dankata

Hey Peter, I want help with downloading pure 0.165 because when I download it with instal.bat it shows me that the filters have been downloaded but when I go into Content Manager there is nothing I tried to change the location of the game but it still didn't work and I don't know what to do before it was very good but I had to reinstall Content Manager and then I can't add my filter please help me. Thank you!

Peter Boese

Pure consists of many files, not just 7!

Peter Boese

you download it and then you install Pure. Open the Pure 0.165.7z file with 7zip app. Then you extract the whole "Pure 0.165" folder to Desktop. You go into this folder on the Desktop and then you run the install_pure.bat Then you select the AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa/)

Dankata

Thank you so much!

Galaxy -_- Aymane

But when you extract the files for tye first time theres only 7 that are the SAME and that i have to replace

Stefano Celli

Hello Mr Boese? I'm problème for Sol 2.2.7 and Pure 0.165. I installed everything by following the guide, but once in game I have an error message on the "Sol Planner", there is a message that tells me: --------------------------------------- - Sol 2.2 controller not working Please select "Sol2.2" as controller script in CM: Setting -> Custom shader patch -> weatherFX Controller script does not work in replays or online sessions!

Stefano Celli

I have the same problem but i cannot find a solution

Peter Boese

What CSP version the you run? Did you see that there is a new version of Pure? Pure 0.180 is the newest. If you run Sol and Pure weather script, please also install Sol 2.2.8.

Stefano Celli

Ok so i will try to instal the 180 and sol 2.2.8.

Stefano Celli

Im running the csp 1.80 the 2260 in the server i have the championship

Stefano Celli

I didnt update content manager because i dont know where is the file.

Stefano Celli

I have already read it but my problem is where i found that content manager zip?

saamarium

Good evening. I have a problem with the virtual mirror, basically the exposure is blindingly high and I can't seem to find a way to reduce it to normal levels, no matter the PP filter, and messing with the Pure sliders in game didn't help either. Any tips?

Peter Boese

Don't turn off PostProcessing for Virtual Mirros then: CM - settings - Custom Shaders Patch - smart mirrors - "Post-processing for virtual mirrors" must be activated if you use it with Pure.

ItsMxntle

so i have just run into a problem everything was working fine i accidentally clicked config.video_mode_seperation in the pure menu and it turned the whole sky black and has toatally bugged the pure config menu keeps flashing and wont let me change any inputs i tried to uninstall and re install but issue still remains any suggestions please my bro was so gassed to finally have everything running now its bugged again

ItsMxntle

now my sol planner has also stopped working keeps telling me to activate sol in weather fx but its already activated

James David

I'm having the same issue, while running 1.80a, could it be anything else?
