Assetto Corsa 0.9 Update Brings Multiplayer Alpha

Kunos Simulazioni has released version 0.9 of Assetto Corsa, bringing the long awaited online multiplayer to the sim. Initially planned to come out May 2nd, a single-player black screen glitch prevented the release. The development team worked 18-hour workdays fixing the issue, as well as improving the netcode for the anticipated release. Be aware that multiplayer is still in an Alpha state, and has quite a few bugs to be ironed out. Kunos is asking that all multiplayer-related bugs be reported in Assetto Corsa’s official forums.

Along with the update, a tutorial was released to help you get used to the multiplayer user interface. It is available to be watched as a GIF, or to be viewed as a PDF. You can find the tutorial here.

Also one thing worth mentioning is that, with Assetto Corsa nearing version 1.0 status, the deadline to get it at 20% off on Steam is rapidly approaching as well. You can still buy it today for $39.99, but once it reaches Gold status, the price will jump to the price of $49.99.

Are you stoked to be finally able to race Assetto Corsa with your buddies? You looking to enter any races today?
