Pure 0.222 development update

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXcwlAqhItc


Pure Config

Pure Planner

Integration of custom post-processing

With the newer CSP versions, YEBIS can be bypassed, and a custom PP is possible. Pure’s customPP will do all the basic things like YEBIS (tone mapping, color adjustment and color grading), but it has optimizations and new features. CustomPP uses a very lightweight variant of Glare. It is not as nice as the YEBIS one (maybe in the future), but it will give some FPS back. It is like a functional Glare.

CustomPP also has an optimized autoexposure (AE) algorithm. It will detect little light sources much better than the YEBIS AE, and so exposure generation is more stable at nighttimes.

Due to customPP, HDR mapping and custom HDR mapping are now possible.
The new “pureHDR” PPfilter offers a new way to use HDR in AC.

pureHDR

HDR conversion, to emulate an LDR-like look, with higher tone resolution and precision

The pureHDR filter will force customPP, you don’t need to set anything. It also uses its own tone-mapping function – coded inside the script, which brings great results, to achieve a functional and aesthetic HDR tone conversion. The developed code provides a handy control to manage certain dynamic ranges.

The main idea of this ppfilter is to create an LDR-like look with just a little bit more dynamic range while using the higher precision of the HDR output. The result is a very clear and sharp look with some higher dynamic range and a good visibility of all parts of the picture.

This filter also has a unique feature. Very low tones will be desaturated. So, this kind of simulates color blindness in the dark. Therefore, night scenes look much more realistic and immersive.

pureVR

An optimized PPfilter/script, for using VR. It will avoid some distractions and its tone mapping is made to have a clear view, without the loss of details.

Sunblinding shader

A new Pure shader to gain immersion and feel the power of the sun. In my opinion, this is the biggest improvement to AC/CSP that Pure has added since its creation. This shader will give a real feel for the amount of light the sun gives. The shader can be customized for your own needs, and it can be completely controlled by PPfilter scripts.

mega pure 0.222 highres???

Ricky De Monte

Did you already install the latest hotfix? And please comment in the right post. This is the Pure 0.222 post, an older pure version

Peter Boese

Hello, in pure mode I drop to 9 fps and pure lcs no problem more than 80 fps is this normal thank you

JLUC26

Everytime I turn the wetness up the track always gets slippery is there a way to have the track wet and reflecting the sky but still having the normal grip?

Risc Idek

Thank. Maybe check out the newest version 0.254. it has lightnings...

Peter Boese

Do І even need to tell you how amazing this mod is?... it makes the game look 100x better than sol or anything else. Best dollar spent of my life lmao. I'll stay subscribed to you <3

Nezar Shaban

Should had done that first, sorry. Was a simple thing. Had it set to fullscreen. Good to go. Thanks!

sstoness

Hi Peter Thanks for your fast reply. Got it the CSP was stucked on an older version. ;) Thanks for your support.

Please read the HDR tutorial.pdf

Peter Boese

Have Pure set to HDR. On the PP tab, shows ERROR: HDR not properly set. Settings\Assetto Corsa\PP set to pureHDR. Drive\Weather set to dynamic\pure. edit: hdreye shows no error.

sstoness

Perfect! Thanks!

sstoness

https://github.com/gro-ove/actools/releases/download/v0.8.2594.39678/Content.Manager.zip

Peter Boese

With "update to untested versions" checked, version still is 0.8.2561.39678. Also clicking Check for updates manually.

sstoness

I solved mine, I used this "comfy map" app, somehow it caused it all. I deleted it and the gameplay is smooth again

Queden

What do you mean? You can also set to "update to untested versions" in CM settings CM general.

Peter Boese

Peter, the links available only we get the 0.8.2561.39678 version.

Fábio Sathler

You need to install Content Manager like shown in the install video! You need the latest version 0.8.2594

Peter Boese

Hello, I have watched the vidéo various times but for some reasons, i always end up on the same "bug". I can see and select pure in CSP content Manager, "Weather FX" screen. It appears as well in AC/Video/filters but i can t get it to show properly on the Drive menu. I cant see 'pure" as a option there. I have seen sol, ununstalled it, through the special file in the pure install folder; pure still not showing at the drive menu. I am just seing a "Random options and then some simple weather options (heavy clouds,...) . If i ununstall/reinstall pure. Sol reappears in this drive menu like pure is reinstalling it. Menus show : random/Original/Bytypes/sol/mods. "pure" still not showing. On launch (hot lap), i got a black sky, no stars, like pure blackout ;) the pure config menu shows a black empty screen. What am i doing wrong ? :r Thank in advance for your help.

Thanks for responding. Yes all updated. Seems if I use a limited functionality on CSP then it appears over exposed (do this for Vr to get better frames). Using more functions in csp fixes the over exposure. What settings do I need to ensure are checked in csp for it to work?

Thanks for quick response I will check

ΚΥΡΙΑΚΟΣ ΤΣΑΓΡΗΣ

Open Pure Config app and check if there are warnings in the main tab....

Peter Boese

Why too much bright white light at noon time? Only at sunrise and sunset its very good the graphics. Need to adjust some settings ?

ΚΥΡΙΑΚΟΣ ΤΣΑΓΡΗΣ

Thank you! It worked.

Uncheck the option to use a custom script in neckFX settings!

Peter Boese

Hello, is there any way to make neckFX work on 0.23.preview1 rain mod, and pure 0.222?

Nah I played a while with the graph on screen and it barely deviates from it's baseline, I also noticed it doesn't happen in single player

Queden

same here only that my 70fps looks like 40, i think it is more like stuttering rather than low framerate, i think frametimes are bad

Mnor X

Hey does anyone experience the follwing; my fps is high enough (~100fps), but it looks very unsmooth, almost as if it was like 40. At first I thought this was bc of the adaptive sync in my monitor but it's exactly the same when this is turned off. (ps. yes every other form of v-sync is off). Thanks!

Queden

I had the same issue as Calep Christian, manual install worked. What about the old Sol App, still shown as active under activated app, how do I get rid of them??. Thanks

Tom Kure Andersen

Works now, thank you so much❤️

Please have a look at the update post. pure 0.222 needs CSP 0.2 or later! If you want to use CSP 0.180, you need to use older versions of Pure!

Peter Boese

I did, i did it exactly the same, i’ve uninstalled the game, everything fresh, but it wouldn’t work, i’ve installed it manually, but what happened, i explained in the previous reply. Thanks

Please follow the install video exactly. It will work then!

Peter Boese

I already did that, it appeared and everything, but the pure config won’t work, i have a black sky, and the pure planner says that i need a CSP 1.80 version or above, i already have the CSP 1.80 preview. Thanks

Then just extract the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder!

Peter Boese

hi, i've done everything shown in the video, (my assetto corsa is fresh just installed, i've shader 1.80 preview, i've done everything as shown, but pure won't appear in content manager, it wouldn't install. Thanks

I disabled it and the bug remains, so PP AA is probably unrelated. Maybe I should mention that I tried disabling CAS and that fixes it, but then it's a blurry mess.

adi518

And if you set a different AA method or deactivate it? Does it look normal then?

Peter Boese

Yes, I do. CMAA + CAS set at 25%.

adi518

But do you have CMAA activated?

Peter Boese

Shaders Patch version: 0.2.3-preview1 Shaders Patch version: ID: 2745

adi518

What version does it shows in the about&info page?

Peter Boese

But I'm already at the latest CSP Preview version. Strange.

adi518

Like I said in the first answer, it is related to CMAA and it is fixed in the newest CSP versions....

Peter Boese

Thanks, I just realized I'm already on that server, but I connected the Discord app anyway, so thanks for the tip. A quick look in the help hub and I found the culprit from an existing ticket. It's a conflict with FidelityFX CAS. Seems like it's been fixed so I'll wait for the next release.

adi518

Great, I will. Btw, if I set WeatherFX to the Yebis alternative, the filter appears a lot better, but still weird. Also, the tutorial mentions it's already overriding Yebis/Yebis Alt for me, so I guess it shouldn't really matter.

adi518

PureHDR is the PPfilter with the new method. Maybe something is already set to be very bright and so it is overexposed then. You can also link Patreon and Discord in Patreon settings Apps and then you are autoconnected to Pure Discord Server. Make a new post in the Pure help hub. Can't really solve this here...

Peter Boese

What I mean to ask is whether both filters are applicable to the new HDR method. I'm trying to make sure I'm getting the updated experience and not placebo'ing off something older. I have everything configured exactly as in the tutorial.

adi518

Just installed 0.222 and loving the new VR filter. Looks great with the Pimax Crystal compared to the old filters. Great job Peter.

What latest HDR implementation? BTW - For HDR DXGI must be active in CM and you can not use fullscreen mode!

Peter Boese

Did you update CM and CSP as well, like shown in the video. For HDR, please have a look into the HDR tutorial.pdf!

Peter Boese

Hi all - new to Pure. Have installed as per youtube video and removed Sol. Pure Config app not appearing in game and pure filters all over exposed bar the HDR pp filters.

I did read the tutorial, several times. I'm already at CSP 0.2.3 Preview 1. As for FXAA, yes, I forgot that it's actually an injection hook. Have both pureHDR and pureHDR-Eye been updated to the latest HDR implementation?

adi518

Please have a look at the HDR tutorial.pdf! FXAA is the entry point of many thing in CSP. It's the thing where most things are injected. Also if you use CMAA 2.0 as anti aliasing method (CM - Settings - CSP - Graphics Adjustments - Post Processing antialiasing), update to the newest CSP versions. There was a bug with HDR.

Peter Boese

I upgraded to this version the other day. Great work as always. The pureHDR PP filter doesn't actually work, it's over-exposed or something. Someone claimed resetting Pure fixes it, but it didn't work for me and he also mentioned it has to be done repeatedly. However, the secondary filter pureHDR-Eye does work properly and it looks amazing. Why does HDR need FXAA to be enabled? I have it enabled anyway (as part of Ilja's advice on achieving the best AA quality), but instinctively, it doesn't have anything to do with HDR.

adi518

You need a CSP preview version for RainFX! Have a look at the Pure update post and scroll all the way down. It is linked there....

Peter Boese

If you don't use it anymore, uninstall it...

Peter Boese

Is it recomended to uninstall sol when using pure?

I apologize for my ignorance but I cant seem to find the archive with the HDR tutorial. I have read through the new features and changes pdf where it mentions the HDR tutorial pdf but cant find it. Sorry

OOPs I accidentally hit return. Sorry.\I've installed Pure 0.222 and CSP 0.22 and can't get the rain app to work. I can't see the rain on the track or windshield but can hear it. When I click + on the wipers in the rain app, the wipers work. But when I click on rain nothing happens. What do I need to do to get rain to show up?

Sorry if this is a double post. i sent a message and can't see it on the site.

I have the same problem so i just install it manually

Then just try to extract the folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa)

Peter Boese

the commands either dont run atall or dont finish

i am only moving like 30kmh before sliding and for the ai their movements are going everywhere like they can be going diognally

Did you already read the HDR tutorial.pdf? It is inside the Pure 0.222 archive...

Peter Boese

What does not work? If you follow it, it will work. You can also link Patreon and Discord in Patreon serttings Apps, then you are autoconnected to Pure Discord Server. There you can use the help forum and post screenshots. Really, in 99,99% of the cases, CM/CSP/Pure will work, if you follow the installation exactly!

Peter Boese

had to redo everthing but it works

Hi, im trying to use the pure hdr setting on my tv and its way too dark. Is there a way to adjust the settings on track so i can fine tune it to my display?

i have followed your exact walkthrough and also other peoples but it never works, any help?

ill try that again but my files arent named the same as yours for whatever reason, and i followed step by step

Seems an error happens and this slows down the system. Please install it exactly like shown in the install video!

Peter Boese

hey im having real performance issues ever since i updated, i have a 4090 setup but cant get more than 31 fps when i used to get 150+ max settings. did i do something wrong

Nice Work Peter thanks for a quality product

Hope you are not disappointed then....

Peter Boese

Hey Peter, Amazing work according to what I've seen so far from all the YT videos (I haven't tried it yet) that gave me a newfound enthusiasm for wanting to feel that amazing glorious realism to an old classic game only made possible by you. Never have I ever been anyone's Patreon till now but your work compelled me to support you. Can't wait to try it out!!

The upcoming Pure will bring a fix, where CSP can set the rain tyres properly at s ssion start...

Peter Boese

well yeah, ever rode in the rain with slicks?

JodyyHiiiRolla

Can't wait, thanks for all of your work, I appreciate that !

Nice, next version gets even better. I build in some CPU optimization.

Peter Boese

Improved my VR performance, really smooth now.

hey the pure made all my tracks slippery when it rains like really slippery the ai cars slidding around when they are not moving

Hello , when i go to weather or video filter settings i cant find pure i installed everything, uninstalled sol also. Please jelp .

hi for some reason pure config won't come out. I have install everything as per your video newst CM, CSP ver 0.23.1 also tried 0.22, uninstall and reinstall pure but still nothing, can you please help

Please install it like it is shown in the video! Follow the steps exactly!

Peter Boese

For some reason when i activate pure, the editing tab glitches in and out and its impossible to make changes to things such as the sky making the game look very bland. Also, when i install pure manually through the local files it doesn't show up. This has never happend before, is there a solution?

Thank you for answering :) Overwritng the PPfilter related config file didn't work for a while but somehow it works now.

Which settings do you mean? The settings in the script option need to saved with the script settings.

Peter Boese

Thanks a lot exactly what i was expecting👍

Hey Peter, do you have any idea why i can't save my pure_config settings? If I click "save" they just reset after I restart the game :/

New Pure version is planned for early January. I'm still testing things and integrating new features.

Peter Boese

new pure coming soon ?

Hi ! I did everything of install guide video, and then i can play normally, but if i get out e join again like 3 or 5 times, then its start to crash saying the race is cancelled, i did everything like the video, i even had unistalled everything, AC, CM, PURE etc and re-instaled, but the same error apears to happen, every time i installed, its all good till i get out of the practice session and try to join again, after a few times joining, then suddenly everytime crashes, please help :/

Please install everything exactly like in the video! It will work then.

Peter Boese

You need to install the newest Content Manager (0.8.2594... or later)! Just look in the video...

Peter Boese

Sol Planner works with Pure or the default weather style. Weather style and weather controller are independent. You just need to select the Sol controller then in the weather selection in drive menu.

Peter Boese

Good job Peter Boese 👏 I just prefer older version of Planner, is it possible to change the actual for older and how ? Thanks a lot

graphics everything was fine with just sol I deleted it. pure still doesnt work

Bryan Lopez

Respectfully I have mutiple times and still has the same result. I still have no dynamic weather

Bryan Lopez

Please just watch the install video and install everything exactly like shown there.

Peter Boese

pure controller wont come up not sure what I did wrong

Bryan Lopez

I often uninstall Assetto Corsa and reinstall it along with Content Manager, CSP and Pure (installing using the install.bat) then whatever cars and tracks needed; things seem to work great for me. Its can take some time but it clears any issues I noticed. :)

Arron Mitchell

I'm having a similar problem. It seems to happen when the weather is changing or is at a certain stage. My PC specs are Ryzen 7 3700x. RTX 3080 32gb ram 3600mhz. No OC I think it's a bottle neck from the CPU.

You need a Discord account. Then you link this account with Patreon in Patreon settings - Apps. You will be autoconnected and then you get a role on Pure Discord. There you can access the help hub. Maybe prepare something. Make a screenshot of the ingame CSP Lua Debug app. If there is a red dot. Switch to the tab with the red dot, expand the error and make the screenshot. Also please check your version of CSP in CM - settings - CSP - about&info. And the version of CM in CM - settings - Content Manager - general.

Peter Boese

dont think im in the discord , do you have a link?

If you done the install exactly like in the video, maybe go to Pure Discord. Link Patreon and Discord and you will be autoconnected. Then post it on the Pure help channel. But actually it will be the install....

Peter Boese

im getting low fps too and the game is really slow loading and the rain doesnt work , everything is up to date . i have followed install steps on video

Please install it like shown in the install video. Follow the steps exactly...

Peter Boese

hello. after putting this mod i only get 10 fps with this spec RYZEN 5 3600 RTX 4060 32gb ram 3200mhz are there any problem with the way i installed the mod?

In weatherFX settings, activate the automatic wiper control, or bind a key to the wiper control in the controller settings.

Peter Boese

hi i can no longer find where to turn wipers on car in sol you could in pure can not find it help

Dan

Like the normal godrays are looking just false in VR. So I deactivate them in VR.

Peter Boese

If you play online, the server is the master and sets all those things! You would change all those things for other people, or others would change it for you, so that would be a total mess then....

Peter Boese

Hi, is anybody able to help me please everything works fine I can change the weather and have rain but as soon as I join an online lobby it wont let me move the slider to change the time of day and my rain doesn't work

Hi, I cant see the pure option in weather script, how can i solve it? i ve reinstalled all and it's even a failure

Hello, could you please elaborate a bit about PureVR PP filter please? What do you mean by "It will avoid some distractions" ?

bro

A. KaiKati

Ah, I see! I was misremembering! In that case, yes, consider this a feature request. I'd love it if the entire script was activated automatically, and not have to hit a "show/hide" hotkey twice quickly to get weather working. Even something where it simply did this open/close process automatically offscreen would work as a patchwork solution. It's just a hassle I feel is unnecessary when CM Static weather is "set-and-forget" in the Drive tab, and is immediately working when the game loads. If it's possible, I think that'd be a great addition. So, yes, please give it a look if you have the time, and thanks again.

X90

Yes, for now you must open it. I try to change it, so you don't need to open it, but it could be its not possible.

Peter Boese

Bonjour a tous question c'est dingue que je suis les étapes et rien ne marche suivre des vidéos rien a faire pas de pluies bref je pige pas ce pure je des regrets pour juste de la pluie Gruuuuuuu veiner

right, in my case, I'm looking to use Dynamic weather exclusively. I have all static controllers (including the Pure Static controller) unchecked, and "Pure" selected under Dynamic. In that Dynamic Pure submenu, I have "Start Plan with the Race" checked, and CM Weather set to Clear. I start the race, and I get the issue above - track and ambient temp are identical and don't change, unless the Pure planner is opened in the sidebar. I get this exact same problem if I use the Pure Static controller, and use any of the selectable CM weathers there. If I use the standard CM controller and a selectable CM weather, everything works properly off of selecting "Go!" with no extra inputs. So, must I open the Pure Planner to get Pure weather? Is that the case? And if so, wouldn't it be wiser to just automatically activate the planner somehow on launch? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding.

X90

Hey, yes there is a little thing in need to set, before the session starts. But I don't know if this is even possible. Actually you can set a static controller OR the dynamic controller. If you set the static controller, then Pure Planner will do a simple day plan with the set weather in the pull down. If you select the Pure dynamic controller, then you can set more options in it's sub menu...

Peter Boese

Hi Peter, First, thank you for this wonderful app. It is an important service you're doing for the sim. I am having a small issue with 0.222 that is hopefully quickly answered. I cannot seem to get the Pure controller script running in game unless the Pure Planner app is opened. In CM (latest version, CSP latest preview) I have the Controller in WeatherFX set to Pure, and in the Drive Tab, under Weather, I have "Pure Static" checked under "Controllers" and "Pure" selected as the weather itself (so it says "Pure" in the Weather drop-down). Upon game launch, I can tell something is off - both air and track temp are identical, and not at the ranges I set them at before launching (so, for example, 21C and 21C air and track temp when I set 26C in CM). Upon opening the Pure Planner in the side bar, though, everything begins to work - the cloud cover I set, as well as the temperature ranges for track and air (to reference the previous example, from 21C to 26C/29C). I assume what is happening here is that the script itself is starting when the Pure Planner is opened, and is not running prior. Obviously, I'd like to not have to do that at all, just for it to launch with "Go!" - and from what I remember, that's how my previous Pure version worked. Perhaps I'm misremembering, or is there something I'm doing wrong? A config setting I'm missing in CSP settings? EDIT: Quick check, as I remembered you can actually disable both static controllers and have nothing checked under "controllers". I have done that - unfortunately, no change. Cheers for any advice you may have, and thanks again.

X90

Just look in the post and watch the install video!

Peter Boese

how do i download this

it s really fine to use; i am very happy about;. i don t know when the updates will be stopped, but each is up the game. thanks

Taillandier Jp

I'm the creator of Pure, a weatherFX mod. I'm not responsible for NeckFX. All I can say is, it works in my AC...

Peter Boese

Do neckfx work?

Maybe you have as it is working for me with an version 2.2 csp

Hawky2k21

Love your Pure filters and Pure config also weather they're all awesome

Hawky2k21

I agree with what you say, take as much time as you need to do a good job as you usually do! Thanks again for this fantastic project, you and Ilja have truly made Assetto Corsa an immortal game!

Jacopo Di Giuli

That was it, Thanks a bunch!

Bob Dobbalina

That was it, Thanx a lot :)

Bob Dobbalina

did you update content manager too? newest version is 0.8.2594... https://github.com/gro-ove/actools/releases/download/v0.8.2594.39678/Content.Manager.zip

Peter Boese

Hi I have installed Latest lights patch, by clicking on the link to latest version and letting content manager install 2.21 And then I d loaded the zip and unzipped into my Assetto root DIR and I still don't get this option anywhere in Content Manager? 'Replace yebis with alternative lighting' in post-processing setting under weatherfx like in your instructions. The only pp options are full resolution and below that first person pp options to turn of glare etc. I have looked for hours for it in every section of CSP, Assetto Corsa,& Content Manager settings, but can't find it? I have latest Pure also BTW thank you for that! Just wondering If I have done something wrong to have a different menu to yours ? Cheers

Bob Dobbalina

Sure, I'm always working on updates. The next update will bring many fixes and new features to Pure: Pure Planner gets the live mode and the keyboard and controller integration. Also its possible to define 10 favorite plans which can be loaded via keys or buttons. Pure style will have more skydomes, esp. for sunsets and twilight to improve the current look. It will also have a new ambient lighting update, which supports the new CSP tiled ambient light. This ambient lighting is more natural and fits the scenery with a way more immersive look. But I'm currently in the middle of the development and many things need to be checked and tested by the testers. So I think there will not be a release this year, but in early January. The changes are too big to throw out an untested version...

Peter Boese

CSP 0.2.2 preview is just released, with long changelog and great bugfixing; any plan for PURE update? Thanks again Peter for all your work ❤️

Jacopo Di Giuli

rain comes NOT with Pure, read/ la lluvia no viene con pure, lean (comes with csp of the patreon/viene con el csp del patreon)

no veo la lluvia

install csp

Hi followed the instructions. and I get all the handling fun of rain (on wet tracks) but no rain effects... driving me mad! - any tips?

Please have a look in the install video and in the Pure update post. You need a CSP preview version for rainFX. THe video will show you how to install it properly....

Peter Boese

Please install CSP 0.1.79 or 0.1.80preview first, then the new CSP 0.2 or 0.2.1preview. There is just 1 file missing in the new CSP build for the Traffic Planner. But this fille is in the older builds.

Peter Boese

I was wondering if there is anyone who could help me with configuring rain i have never been able too

Hi Peter i just installed the new Pure and as advised i installed the latest csp for it to work properly, but now my traffic planner doen't work. Is there any way to fix this ?

CrashDummie

Please install it later like it is shown in the install video!

Peter Boese

I seem to have a strange problem with rain. After a lot of testing and configuring, it seems that when I set the weather controller to "pure static", when setting weather to rain, the automatic shifting seems to be restricted to 2nd or 3rd gear, cars won't go faster than around 90kph. When I set the weather controller to "default", it goes back to normal. Also, when I use the "pure" weather, the auto tire selection in CSP seems to be broken. Bug?

my pure seems like it restarts every second in the config app in game. do you know how to fix?csp is 0.2.1

What do you mean? i don't understand! "But after installing csp 0.21 im missing writing and there is no button" ???

Peter Boese

Hi Peter, thank you, my game has incredible graphics. The weather is much more realistic.

tarcisio santos

I meant that I am not in the server actually

Just link Patreon and Discord in Patreon settings Apps. You will be autoconnected and you get your role on the Pure Discord server.

Peter Boese

Please have a look at the install video and the Pure update post again! You always need a CSP preview version. It is linked in the install video or here in the Pure update post.

Peter Boese

Can u send me the server idk where to find it here

bonjour, j'ai installé Pure 0.222, tout fonctionne sauf la pluie ! je l'entend mais je ne la vois pas et il n'y a pas d'eau sur le sol !

You can also install Pure by extracting the 4 from folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa)

Peter Boese

hello, Ive got a problem where my command prompt closes immediately after selecting my root ac path, ive moved my steam folder to my other drive if that makes any difference. ive also tried running through admin but with no luck.

Just scroll down in that update post! Please watch the install video. It is linked in that post too.

Peter Boese

Have a look in Pure Config app - "shaders" - sunblinding and set the iris slider to 0.

Peter Boese

When using VR, if I look at the sun, it automatically dims, is there anyway to turn this off?

join discord

hey i cant find the pure download link

Hi, I am new here in patreon if I have can I comment my problem here? After downloading the file it worked fine but, my controller tweaks did disappear how can I get it back again? I redownloaded the file also it didn’t show up again what can I do? Also there is the controller for pure in ur video u had the automatic graphics setting in the newest update I didn’t find such thing is there any way to get it? I also downloaded rain fx, so Idk which mod did create the problem. I hope u will be able to help me out in this situation

Actually the newest CSP version had a very long bugfixing phase. We fixed it for over 6 weeks and I would call it the most stable since a long time. And then you should imagine, that people with working AC/CSP/Pure, don't write comments, because mostly people do comments to report that they have a problem. Actually 90% of crashes are settings related. CSP is very stable with default settings. So it is always recommend, to reset its settings to default. Just try CSP 0.2 or it's preview twin 0.2.1p2 and use Pure 0.222 with it.

Peter Boese

what is the most stable version of csp to use with the newest pure? after reading the comments on the new csp version it seems to break more than it fixes, where can i find the older pure if not? tia

Please watch the Pure install video, there you see how to install the public and the Patreon preview version.

Peter Boese

Where can I get CSP?

Floge

I had the same issue you did Mustafa, when I downloaded the low res version of Pure. Try again with the hi res version. Thats what worked for me.

Patrick McTie

It would be great. It was also more realistic on transition in older version

Yes if you now set the rain, it will set everything in a moment. Maybe I could add an option, where this can be prevented .

Peter Boese

Older versions track condition was working separately. This video explains about transition when we set a plan. Right now track conditions are working timely with plan even in dynamic set is on. In older version; when I change current weather for exsample sunny to heavy rain. Even rain was coming a bit slowly and track get wet in time. Like effected by weather. And any time I change it back to sunny weather, only sky was changing and track dry slowly.

What do you mean with auto-use? There are the Pure filters like pure, pureCandy and such..

Peter Boese

Would anyone be able to let me know if there are any preset filters that I can auto-use? or is there no such thing? Many thanks

Sorry Peter, I feel like an idiot. I found out right clicking on each slider resets to default and everything is working as should now. I don't want you wasting time looking for a problem that's not there. Thank you again for everything you do.

I think I found my other issue as well. The settings for dynamic calculations had puddles:drying set to a max value of 100. I'm not sure what the default value should be but turning it down seems to have solved that issue. A list for the default values on all the calculations settings would be helpful or an option to reset those to default in a later update. Thank you again for everything you do Peter.

Please read the included HDR tutorial pdf! Also CMAA is currently not working with HDR. If you use that in settings CSP graphics adjustments, choose a different AA method.

Peter Boese

I have HDR monitor with the latest Pure HDR filter purchased here, but it looks all over saturated and blown out even when I take the exposure level in game to 0... what is going on? Any tips?

Thank you for that info. Unfortunately I don't have discord so I'll just have to work around that issue by pinning and unpining the apps.

for ther app bar there is already a fix on Pure Discord server. Just link Patreon and Discord in Patreon settings Apps and then go here: https://discord.com/channels/533310059405377546/1181669824624070726

Peter Boese

Install everything like it is shown in the install video!

Peter Boese

It does reset it but if you have the data tab open you can watch the wetness drop to 0% then starts climbing to 100% as puddles start to reappear. It's strange because it was working fine for a few weeks. The only other issue I've had after .222 update is every now and then the app bar will keep popping up on the right side in game and the only way I've found to make it stop is to unpin pure planner and config apps.

what do i do

so i triad to downlode pure but pure config is blank

All good Peter. Thanks for all your efforts!

sstoness

Thanks Peter. I have the option in Track Adjustements. I don't have the option in WeatherFx though, latest version 0.2.0.

you need to set it in CSP settings - weatherFX and track adjustments too.

Peter Boese

Hello, Thank you again for the beautiful work. I'm kind of lost on one aspect though : how can I get the season differences in terms of trees, grass, track surroundings etc ? It seems like with Pure I only get the "summer" track even when I adjust the season in Pure Planner :)

That solved it for me. Great job Peter, thank you.

Maybe some bug in Pure Planner then. I'll have a look. If you set a weather like "Clear" it should reset the internal dynamic value.

Peter Boese

Thank you for everything you do Peter. I'm hoping maybe you can help me with an issue. For some reason I'm having an issue with puddles and track wetness on dry weather settings. I'll even switch to wet then switch back to dry and the puddles disappear then reappear. I have everything set to dynamic and the wetness keeps increasing from 0 to 100% on its own. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Those weather presets are just called "Clear (Sol)". But it does not matter. They are just there because of compatibility reasons. We actually do many fixing now in CSP and Pure Planner. So maybe please wait for the new versions.

Peter Boese

Just have a look here: https://youtu.be/O4nYF5v4pEE?si=O-84_PIkPUVNmLv3

Peter Boese

Hello. Before last version of pure planner. When I was changing weather for exsample from raining to open sky, weather was change but track conditions wasnt. It was drying in time. Now all puddles and wetness just changing with weather. Is there anyway I can change it from settings now or do you think you will update it?

how do i open the lua debug

qujc

Pure. Last plan used not checked. Start plan with race not checked. Cm weather - scattered clouds. Start wetness and start puddles on auto. Did a few more races, on same track (spa) and each time it came up with SOL. Sometimes dust, sometimes thunderstorm. Really no rhyme or reason to it. Sol is not on my pc. Did an uninstall with the bat file and checked assetto root folder. Nothing there or in assetto documents folder, either. I do have "load information about replays" checked in settings. No major event, just strange.

sstoness

Which weather controller did you select in the drive menu weather selection?

Peter Boese

Excellent work. Thank you

michael

I'm guessing you mean my wheel? Fanatec CSR Elite

sstoness

We are working on it for Pure Planner.

Peter Boese

Wht controller do you use?

Peter Boese

Replays listing weather incorrectly. Not sure if this is Pure, probably not but, I do not have SOL, only Pure. Race set to Pure scattered clouds and replay in media tab says race was SOL light thunderstorm. Content Manager thing?

sstoness

Oh yes ;-) . Thank you.

Is it possible to assign a time of day multiplier to a keybind? Wanting to be able to speed up time of day or rewind via a rotary encoder switch. Tia

michael

You need to install everything like shown in the video.

Peter Boese

That was the very old weather app of Sol. I'll try to reintegrate keys in pure planner.

Peter Boese

I noticed when i go to open the pure config in drive screen nothing loads

same here

Please read the including pdf careers and championships.

Peter Boese

I can't use pure in "championships". Only in "quick".

Yes, godrays and the sunblinding shader will not work in VR with activated SinglePassStereo

Peter Boese

Some of these fx won't work in VR, correct?

J. B

after following tutorial, everything works fine even when launching nohesi, but when i try to open the game like normal, i get the game logo like normal when starting, but then it switches to a black screen and all i can see is the game version on the bottom left corner of the screen plus the continuously blue loading circle from the mouse

Just have a look at the bottom of the update post. You always need a CSP preview version for rain! It is linked there and the video will also show you how you need to install it!

Peter Boese

I installed it using the yt vid and i have no rain at all

Open the CSP Lua debug app, switch to the tab with the red dot , expand the error and tell me what it says!

Peter Boese

I already did that 2 times and I installed everything just like in the video.

qujc

Then an error occurs because it is not installed properly. If you open the CSP Lua Debug app in-game you will see a red dot. If you see a red dot, please install again everything exactly like in the video. It will work then!

Peter Boese

I installed everything correctly like in tutorial and when I enter game everything is hella bright and when I open pure setting by putting my mouse to the right and opening menu the pure setting page it blank with a tiny window next to it that I can't enlarge or do anything but close out of it.

qujc

Seems to be more a problem with AC/CSP than with Pure! If you switch to "default" weather style in weatherFX, does it still crash?

Peter Boese

There is a fix in the Pure Patreon Discord. Link your Patreon and Discord in Patreon settings Apps. You will be autoconnected then.

Peter Boese

Thanks Roy, maybe I didn't explain my problem correctly (language barrier, I'm French). I'm talking about the actual app tab on right side, that will flicker and won't close (what I mis-called GUI in my first message).

Hey there, I just did a fresh install of AC because the latest pure breaks my game in VR mode, I did the fresh install and then installed latest patreon CSP and then pure and it just won't load in VR, it just says "content maganget can't find what's wrong" It loads in with single screen mode but something is causing an error with vr / oculus Anyone got a fix?

Isn't this configuration screen part of SOL? --> http://www.alvarezeninternet.com/temp/sol-weather-app.jpg

Jose Luis Alvarez Moreno

press the little x on the pure config in the app tab on right side and it will stop

Hey people, Any idea why the right-sided GUI keeps flickering and won't close ? It's like it doesn't want to shut down on its own anymore and I have no way to make it go away. Thanks guys :)

these videos make no sense at all he just goes to his desktop with pure already downloaded i cant get that page on my desktop

tengo un problema, cuando activo el pure me bajan los fps y no puedo jugar, alguien sabe como puedo arreglarlo?

I have a problem finding Pure weather controller in the drive menu. I previously had SOL and I used the uninstall_sol__instal_pure file. However, I can still see SOL weather controllers but not Pure in the drive menu.

Not with Sol or Pure Planner. where was it ever possible?

Peter Boese

Can anyone please confirm that there are no hotkeys to control the time of the day as well as hotkeys to select a specific weather type?

Jose Luis Alvarez Moreno

HELP.! AI goes into box in 1st round

some tracks does not support puddles, so you need to create extension folder in the track main folder, get ext_config.ini file in other track who has it, copy and paste in the new track erase everything, then add those lines: [RAIN_FX] PUDDLES_MATERIALS = put here material track name SOAKING_MATERIALS = and here SMOOTH_MATERIALS = ROUGH_MATERIALS =

De Tudo um Pouco BR

I have rain but no puddles or wet surface. Anyone know a fix for this? Thank you in advance for any help.

I did tho

qujc

I turned on the rain setting for a race and now I can not get the rain to stop. I did switch it back to Pure and I deactivated it. The prerace screen still shows rain and you can hear the rain, when the race does start it is sunny.

Please just install it, like it is shown in the install video!

Peter Boese

No like I can't change any settings for pure in-game its blank

qujc

I gained like 10 fps by switching from Sol to Pure Candy. On top of that the game look more visually appealing. I am impressed.

Which settings page? Does it happen too, if you select "default" as weather style?

Peter Boese

when i load into game everything is white and settings page is blank with a little tiny windows that i cant see anything in and i cant expand it

qujc

Depends of which PPfilter you use. PPfilter can load their own config. Which filter do you use?

Peter Boese

anyone know why i have to reset pure to defaults every time I load a race in VR, otherwise contrast and colour are way off

I am talking about the pureconfig>clouds>SKYDOMES>sets field. If there are multiple Skydome_sets here, we want to specify which Skydome should be loaded first.

Please watch the video and use 7zip app. What do you mean you download it with WinRAR? ou just download it and then you open it with 7zip app!

Peter Boese

Nice!

sstoness

doesnt work always downloads with winrar then get an error and ant openfile

Thankyou, we wouldnt be here without your work :)

KB

No problem. Good that it works now! Have fun ..

Peter Boese

Peter, firstly thankyou for your patience and secondly please accept my apologies, it is fixed, i had unknowling clicked back to 1.8 and yes i did not fully read the BIG BRIGHT LETTERS saying which CSP of 2.0 or later, im sorry. I have now installed latest csp 2.1, thankyou so much

KB

Please watch the video! You need CSP 0.2 or CSP 0.2.1preview. it is always shown in big colored letters which CSP you need!

Peter Boese

V1.27, Parameters: 0, CSP: 0.1.80-preview442, Pure:0.000 This is what is in pure config in game

KB

OK, i have tried just running install.bat and the black box does complete and say it is installed ok, then i go in settings into weathert fx to check for pure and it is selected, then check PP filter and is set correct to PURE HDR, theni check DXGI seetings as per your HDR tutotrial pdf and all is correct, then i check Drive menu and it is set to pure, then i go in game and it is dark, pure planner is nothing and pure config says i dont have PURE, green box to click saying 'activate pure' but still nothing...thankyou for your help. What next? :)

KB

You don't need to uninstall it. The installer already removes the older version. Just use the install_pure.bat Maybe also try to run it as admin.

Peter Boese

I have, i extract with 7 zip to desktop, now i have a yellow folder like you also have in the video, then i double click on uninstall pure bat and the black screen pops up and i select, steam, steam apps, common, assetto corsa and click next and then it just dissapears, it does run...sorry for the troubles but its not working...

KB

You need to extract the Pure 0.222.7z file with 7zip app before you run the bat. Please do it exactly like in the video!

Peter Boese

Yes I am opening the file (yellow folder win11) from my desktop, Thankyou for such a quick reply! :D

KB

Did you extract the pure 0.222 folder to Desktop, before you run the instal_pure.bat

Peter Boese

Hey Oeter, I’ve ran into a few issues with Pure so I thought an easy way to fix was to uninstall and re install but running the uninstall pure.bat isn’t uninstalling, I select the AC root folder, click to go ahead and then the black box just vanishes…can you show me another way perhaps? I have black sky in game hence the reason I want to reinstall

KB

What are you speaking of?

Peter Boese

I usually use a non-default skydome, but since the default is selected at every startup, it is a bit annoying to select that skydome each time. Is it possible to have a custom skydome selected from the startup?

I have always used the latest csp releases and pure.

mark hawley

I have installed this version of Pure (after updating to the latest CSP). I already had SOL so this time I removed it, following the advice on this webpage and thinking it would be redundant and unnecessary. However, now my hotkeys for going forwards and backwards in time don't work and I cannot find any configuration options for that. Am I missing something? I've search everywhere in Content Manager and in the Pure app. If this is not implemented, will it be? Another similar feature I would love to see is the possibility of defining hotkeys for manually selecting the weather types I want.

Jose Luis Alvarez Moreno

Ok

Tk

Sorry no, but If I hear something, I will tell you...

Peter Boese

Actually in CSP we changed a thing which will improve this. will come with the next CSP version.

Peter Boese

Just watch the video and read the update post. RainFX is part of CSP preview versions. It is linked at the bottom of this post.

Peter Boese

What you had before?

Peter Boese

Broken clouds weather has some probability for rain.

Peter Boese

There is now snow actually. There are just weather presets that called snow, to be compatible with the weather services.

Peter Boese

NeckFX has nothing to do with Pure!!! Pure is a weatherFX graphics mod. NeckFX is a Modul of CSP. Also there was nothing removed in NeckFX afaik.

Peter Boese

Why did you'll remove the extra options for the neck effects 🙁

Tk

Has anyone gotten the snow to work?

At Bathurst with broken clouds and now and then I see raindrops. Part of the humidity thing or...??

sstoness

Since adding this, my frame rates have gone from over 120 fps to sometimes as low as 60 fps. is there anything i can do to get higher frames again, I downloaded the 4k option.

mark hawley

Rain is not working for me, is there a way to fix it?

Barry O'Brien

Hi Peter, this latest version of Pure is just amazing. The sun glare gives AC a whole new dimension and look & feel. However, I have a question: I run AC on multiple pc's and when I run an online session on a local network, the sun's state and skybox are not completely in sync. If I choose to run a session in the twilight (Yas Marina) for instance, on one pc the sun is still visible just above the horizon whereas on the other pc the sun has gone down already. The time seems to be synced well since I read the same time from the clock in the pit as an example. Is there some way to sync this? Would be amazing if you could help. Kind regards, Remy

Remy de Bruijn

Thank you so much! I just deleted sol via your provided uninstall_sol as you recommended above. Kind regards from Germany,Sauerland

Hi Peter new version of pure is absolutely amazing in vr I'm getting white glare lower right lense for some reason do you know what this maybe thank you for all the time and work at making this game absolutely amazing

Please read the update post. Scroll down to the bottom. There you see the link to CSP preview....

Peter Boese

Lol im such a wet wipe, I didn’t look properly

I just did a clean first time install But when I try rain I can hear it But Nothing coming down Just seems like its dusk ive2 also tried puddles but noting seems to show that is wet. Guess im missing some kind of setting

It was a fix in CSP...

Peter Boese

Not sure where it got fixed but, ghost cars are back! Thanks!

sstoness

guys follow the step on his video!! Amazing work Peter.

The video that is linked in that post, which you actually commented.

Peter Boese

If you still have Sol installed, set the wipers if on Sol Planner to -2. Otherwise Pure Planner does not control the wipers anymore. You can set auto wipers in weatherFX or you can bind them to a key or control in the CSP control setup.

Peter Boese

Please just install everything like it is shown in the install video. Do the steps exactly like shown there.

Peter Boese

Hi , since the new maj I have everything in very dark , it’s like playing at midnight with out headlight , in solo with some change it’s ok but not incredible but online I see nothing

Hi Peter, how can I activate or manipulate the windshield wipers? By the way, awesome mod!!!

Does it start automatically though? I have to click the start button each time

Nicolas Hanset

what video???

Please install it like it is shown in the install video. Install everything like it is shown there. It will work then...

Peter Boese

Just install everything like in the install video. Please watch it and do the steps exactly like shown there.

Peter Boese

it was working fine and then they just stopped.

yes but the sky is locked black.

Did you update to a CSP preview version too?

Peter Boese

Has anyone experienced rain/puddles not working after update?

Ok, thanks Peter👍

It not realy belongs to Pure. Its a CSP effect. Maybe have a look at CM - settings - CSP - particlesFX. It also depends on the ride height of the car

Peter Boese

I have no sparks, how can i adjust this in CM ?

Hi Peter,

It could have many reasons. maybe just reset your CSP settings. I guess it is related to a setting.

Peter Boese

is no longer called for it so it does not matter as long as you have pure selected.

Lester Olivera

hey peter i got unexpected error with CSP 0.2.0. do you know how to fix that? thaks alot

Please install everything like it is shown in the install video. Do the steps exactly like in the video.

Peter Boese

And...?

the sky is totally black how can i fix it ?

Thank you for making it possible

Kata Totoro

just select a date in CM - Drive menu. Or ingame with Pure Planner.

Peter Boese

nevermind found the answer in discord lol

Lester Olivera

hello Peter, was wondering are we supposed to still uncheck the 3 settings in extended weather? under settings, contemt manager, drive

Lester Olivera

Then don't set the lightweight Yebis replacement in weatherFX settings!

Peter Boese

Hello, depth of field doesn't seem to work with this version of Pure for me. I need it for my videos but I also enjoy lots of the newer features added to Pure as of recent.

I want to change the season, what should I do?

Kata Totoro

Actually Godrays or the new Sun blinding shader do not work in "Singhle Pass Stereo" mode. It will need some development, to get it working in this mode. Those effects need to be rendered in an own render pass per eye to be calculated correctly.

Peter Boese

Hallo Peter! Is it normal, with activated "Single Pass Stereo" I don't have any god rays or the new sun flare in VR? The option "Single YEBIS pass" is not active! As well the option "NVIDIA VRS" is not active because I have a AMD card. The "Windshield reflection" is a gamechanger in VR for me, absolut stunning! Is there a option, I can adjust this windshield reflections? Thx!!!!

You can link Patreon and Discord in Patreon settings - Apps and then you will be connected with the Pure Discord Server. Help is more easy there. Make a new post in the "Pure Help Hub". I think you just miss some trivial things.

Peter Boese

This things is a night mare for me so far , I wish It could be much easier

hari chan

So it uninstall itself when you install a new version? And I can not open the file that I downloaded, my pc has non open with option and I try to look more and more , it’s like the impossible to get this run . Please help me the way you get it work

hari chan

Peter I love what you are patient who me but how to get to the archive that you are mentioning, I look and search CM , ac file my pc …

hari chan

it looks amazing thank you so much for your hard work Peter!

Troy Chromehuffer

I just ran the install pure bat file and it uninstalled the old version and installed the new. The video Peter linked is very short and shows you exactly what to do.

Troy Chromehuffer

in the archive is an uninstaller script. This will uninstall everything. Then you just need to do the things shown in the video.

Peter Boese

how can i uninstall pure and re install pure

hari chan

The second is on 'APC_POLICE' and it says ' cannot open C:/users/jamie/desktop/steam/steamapps/common/assetto corsa/apps/lua/APC_POLICE.lua: No such file or drectory

Hi, tried reinstalling and watched the video. I have followed it exactly how the video shows and its still doing the same. I have checked the lua debvug app. Theres two red dots the first one is on 'weatherfx impl.' and it says 'no skydome could be found in C:/users/jamie/desktop/steam/steamapps/common/assetto corsa/extension/config-ext/pure/skydome_sets/'

thanks!

Yes. It will correct some track's textures. They are too bright...

Peter Boese

Hi Peter, thanks for the update! I have a small question, some time ago I downloaded a file for color correction (I cant remember if it was posted in the discord) Is is still necessary? Should I update it or its the same (AC_ColorCorrections_20220102)?

I'm sorry, I reinstalled it again and now it works

Install it manually like shown in the install video!

Peter Boese

I don't see the rain with the csp0.2.1-preview2 version I only hear it, but it can't be seen from inside or outside the car

Please install everything like shown in the install video. Do the steps exactly like in the video, then it will work. If it is still not working, open in-game CSP Lua debug app, switch to the tab with a red dot, expand the error and tell me what it says.

Peter Boese

I am having the same issue as Hari Chan. Whenever i activate pure it makes my fps drop to around 10/15fps, makes the pure config flicker and i am unable to press anything in the pure config menu to change anything. I have everything needed already installed (sol.2.2.9) (csp0.2.1-preview2) (pure0.222 have also followed the tutorials in the videos provided exactly however I'm still getting the same issue

But please just watch the video! You need to install other things too!

Peter Boese

hey, i have ust installed this pure, and its black screening.

Please install it exactly like shown in the video.

Peter Boese

Can anyone please show me the right set up , I installed CM , custom Shade , Pure , Jaro summit video..my FPS dropped under 35 fps and can not get the color right on the track . I have not done any mod yet besides getting read , please help

hari chan

Yes, you can use the Pure dynamic controller and fill the "plan" field like: "Stamp/default" to launch the plan named "default" in the stamp folder.

Peter Boese

Is there a way to automatically launch a stamp in pure planner when starting a session?

Nicolas Hanset

Just installing it is not enough. Content Manager setting CSP WEATHER FX Weather Style→ pure & ASSETTO CORSA VIDEO→Post Prossing→ pure  2 items.

大塚 友紀

I extract those files manually and it works

Thank you for all of your hard work. It looks great. :)

hello peter , im experiencing a fast micro stutter in VR only if im on a turn in the track , when im going straight it runs very smooth , any idea what could be causing that ? im running a ryzen 7900x with a 4090

mike2jz gte

Yeah I dunno man, I must be dumb-ish but really the stamp plan will not fix the issue. I just tried it. It will make me start at 4pm whatever I do, whether I save it or not. No big deal, I'll set the hour and season session to my liking everytime. I mean, it just takes a few seconds. Thanks anyway ;) Take care EDIT : I believe I found a solution.

Just use the "Stamp" plan.

Peter Boese

Hi Peter, and the community, Everything's working great, there's just something I can't seem to be able to do. Running solo practice offline, I'm setting a Pure Planner config that I like, in the season/time of the day/weather that I like. Saving it as json, but when I load it, it's just loading the weather preset, neither the time of the day nor the date. So I basically have to reconfigure everytime, which is kind of annoying. Any feedback on that ?

Thanks Peter your a legend, installing the latest CM from the link in your video solved the issue.

Hello, Peter. Could you help please. Should I get same rain effect in VR as I do on triple screen with open wheel cars? I car see rain on the road and drops going from under the wheels but nothing falls on the 'face'. Thx in advance.

Konstantin Batashan

You don't need to set anything I'd you use your controller for wiper control. You just need to bind it to your controller.

Peter Boese

No I just installed CM, CSP and Pure for the first time, I have never had it before.

Please do it like it is shown in the install video. Please do the exact steps!

Peter Boese

I've tried doing both, it still shows as if I'm installing with the windows console, but when I check Content Manager, Sol is still there in weather FX and Pure is nowhere to be found.

Please watch the install video and do the steps exactly like it is shown there. The first step is updating CM....

Peter Boese

Small update to the above, I can see many SOL options and noticed in the unzipped file there is a weather folder also with many SOL options. Are these correct, the video shows Pure options. I have selected Pure VR in the post processing menu. Running the latest free version of CSP.

Hi Peter, I've used the uninstall sol install pure file. I can see Pure as an option in weatherfx but there are no pure options in the drive menu under the weather tab. Could you please advise.

just WAw

Chào Line

Sry to bother again, which server manager in your opinion is best for creating races with dynamic weather? Im playing a season right now with live weather, but was looking for something like a plan with slowly increasing rain etc. like what you´ve done in Pure (nice Ramps/slow changes btw!)

Norman Rohrseitz

hi i cant install pure./ when i instal by file uninstalsol instal pure there is messege : cannot perform a cyclic copy . when i install by file install pure. bat i have messege install complete but in wether scrypts i dont have pure . i have csp 0.2.1

It happened to me and some of my friends. A fresh install of csp, sol, pure did it. I heard, that you could also only use csp and pure (without sol) by now. Fresh install means deinstall it and afterwards delete everything of it by hand (double check with your downloaded sol and pure .zip files, which folders have sol and pure data in it and delete all of it. Then install the new data.

ToFuto

This will not work online, because online the server defines the rain, wetness and water levels.

Peter Boese

Please install everything like in the install video. A black sky just means, that there is a Lua error. If you can't solve it, please come to Pure Discord server and post a screenshot of the in-game CSP Lua debug app.

Peter Boese

So you use Sol now and not Pure?

Peter Boese

I'm having the same problem I followed all the debugging instructions I could find but still having the same issue.

Forgot to mention that I did not have Pure as an option in weather FX only SOL.

I have the same problem, just installed it a couple of days ago and haven't had a chance to mess with it. Would be good to get some guidence on this.

After using pure replace with SOL , where can i set the wiper control ? Previously using SOL -2 setting for my hardware wiper controller manually. Thanks!

Marco Chan

Hi after installing pure i dont know why but my pure always look poor whith a black sky is this a common bog ?

Pure has nothing to do with online weather. The server needs to cycle the weather.

Peter Boese

Is it now possible to run Pure weathercycle online/server? Greets!

Norman Rohrseitz

Please delete the weather_fx.ini in /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/extension folder and reinstall CSP.

Peter Boese

So, I've extracted the zip to my desktop, and even ran the uninstall sol and install pure .bat as administrator, but for some reason it doesn't seem to do anything. In weather FX, I only have Sol available to select and not Pure. Am I doing anything wrong?

OK, thanks Peter for your reply and for your amazing job

yes go into the sol planner. On the top right corner there should be an option .. i dont know exactly what it was called. Something like "difficulty" or maybe a different word. The higher the number, the more realistic are the rain phyiscs. The lower the number, the easier it gets.

Maximilian Hartstock

If you don't use it anymore, you could uninstall it. But you can't leave it installed. Just deactivate the Sol Planner wiper control in it's settings. Set it to -2. Then it don't do anything. You can also deactivate Sol Planner app. This is maybe the recommendation, if you only use Pure Planner app then....

Peter Boese

Should i uninstall Sol before installing Pure? Thank you very much.

1st and 3rd are CSP problems. 2nd: Please install Pure again. It will install the Sol weather presets again. 4nd: You can still have Sol installed and use Sol Planner and Sol controller. What were the problems if you had it installed?

Peter Boese

There is no special config for night in Pure and CSP. Just install it like it is shown in the install video. Day and night are no separate things. You just set the time to night in CM drive or in-game via Pure Planner app.

Peter Boese

Please watch the linked install video and install it exactly like it is shown there.

Peter Boese

Actually you commenting in the update post of it. Just read this post carefully and watch the linked install video carefully. You will see it then.

Peter Boese

is there a way to disable the rain physics? i don't want the car to slow down and become slippery when its raining on servers. the servers already disabled the slipperiness but the cars i use keeps slipping and slowing down. the only solution i found out is to downgrade versions but i want to use the latest version for the better graphics quality

cant find link to download new pure

JRRIGUEZ

Nevermind i found them!

Where are the 0.222 download links?

this update have to be installed manually or automatic updates? im new in all this and im still trying to get rid of the green road and walls with rain .

Edgardo Reverol

Any tutorial to configure for night? I have downloaded pure 0.222 and I don't know how to configure it

Manu proleyend

Hello Mr. Boese, im working on a Pure fixes video for youtube. There are right now these things i couldnt figure out, maybe u can help (i would appreciate). Since installed the new pure, the smoke coming out of chimneys of houses beside the track, can be seen thrue the sidewalls and trees. How can i fix this? 2nd. i had sol and pure installed. This lead to bugs and i deinstalled sol and installed pure. But now when im in contend manager - drive tab i cant pick a sol or pure weather preset (only the stock ones are visable).3rd. Now after install the water splash from cars wheels can be seen thrue the car and also from the inside of the car. How can i fix this? And last 4th: while driving, the old sol planner is gone and the pure planner is visible. But sadly i think the sol planner is way easier and more comfortable to use. Is there a way to use the sol planner design for pure? With kind regards, Max.

Maximilian Hartstock

Extra visual effects needs to be active in weatherFX settings!

Peter Boese

sun blinding effect doesnt seem to be working?

resetted everything, now it works

Marius Meisterjahn

i already hav the newest paid version installed.

Marius Meisterjahn

Pure looks great with static weather. Unfortunatly I do not have any pure Apps available for controlling dynamic weather. Furthermore, taking a screenshot now takes more than 30secs. I ditnt find any wrong settings.

No, it's not yet visible. I'm working on it.

Peter Boese

Is Lightning not visible with Pure? Am I missing something? or is the Part of x4fab patch ???

Bryan Williams

I notice Post Processing decreases picture quality for me how do you get the Glare with out Post Processing

Bryan Williams

You need a CSP preview version! It's described in the update post.

Peter Boese

How to fix not being able to hear pops and bangs in new update of csp, once i downgrade i can hear but in newer versions i only hear car sounds from inside and outside?

i dont get the rain to work. weatherfx and rainfx are activated. pure is selected as controller. i get the rain sound in pit, but no rain visivle

Marius Meisterjahn

Hey Peter, reading other responses to narrow down my issue - I do have extra effects turned on in the weather tab for CSP. I have no errors or warnings on Pure Config main tab. I am using SMAA in the graphics adjustment tab of CSP. Should this be turned to something else?

I was getting an error, but I can't remember what it said. I feel like it said something about PURE config, but I pressed the button to fix, all labels are now green, and I still have the flickering sun when the sunblinder shader is activated. Sorry, I didn't think to pay too much attention to the error that was present.

Hi Peter. It was the trick. "extra effect was not activated". Thanks for your help !!

Emmanuel Soriano

Please have a look if "extra effects" is activated in weatherFX. Maybe just reset all settings in weatherFX to defaults!

Peter Boese

Hi peter. I have made a small video. I hope you could identify where the problem occurs . https://youtu.be/nvzWSlzWLGI

Emmanuel Soriano

Oh ic , is there a way to adjust the headlights at night , in vr there way to bright and shine to far , it would be great to be able to adjust them tru csp in game

mike2jz gte

No. Those sliders are just for activating headlights at day, if ambient light is low or fog is too high

Peter Boese

The ambient luminance , cubemap brightness, and fog dence under AI adjustment bars don’t change anything with the head lights in the car at night ??

mike2jz gte

Please check the Pure Config "Main" tab. Is there a warning or error?

Peter Boese

What do you mean with "the bars in the csl"???

Peter Boese

Hey Peter, I'm having an issue with a flickering sun when using VR. Disabling the sunbinding shader resolves the issue. I am not running the single pass stereo option in CSP. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your answer. I am not sure about that, but I don't remember have seen bad configuration (on main page, all is green, and I have made already pure reset). I will make a video, it will be easier for both you and me to see what's happening. I am using the last preview CSP, but I don't have the option to untick the yebis thing. Very strange. Again, a video could help (i will put it on my youtube channel and send you the link

Emmanuel Soriano

I think i did have the single pass stereo on , will check tomorrow, but as for the ai lights the bars in the csl have no change when adjusted in single screen or vr ?

mike2jz gte

What do you set in video settings and in CSP graphics adjustments. MSAA can't have an influence on the sunblinding shader. I have it activated too and it also does not make a difference what I set in the post processing AA. The sunblinding shader does not work in SinglePassStereo mode, which you probably set in CSP VR tweaks.

Peter Boese

figured out it does not work with msaa only fxaa in vr , but trying to use the ai lighting in csp but nothing happens when i move the bars , the head lights are way to bright

mike2jz gte

ive install the latest pure and csp but in vr i cant seem to make the sunblinder to work

mike2jz gte

Just have a look in the "shader" tab of Pure Config. Is the sunblinding shader group red?

Peter Boese

Thanks for all your hard work. On my pc, the sun blinding just doesn't work. Slider has no effect at all. Any idea ?? The rest seems to work perfectly.

Emmanuel Soriano

Hi peter.

Emmanuel Soriano

Has the object inspector been removed? I have the traffic planner, but I can't find where I start it.

Jeff Jaskowiak

I can also just say, look at Pure Config "Main" tab, solve the problems there, if there are any, and reset to defaults there.

Peter Boese

Got the same here

Please just watch the install video. Install everything like shown there! You need to install a newer CM version too!

Peter Boese

Hi, I've uninstalled sol using the uninstall in the folder and installed pure. I can enable pure in assetto corsa video and and weathers but it doesn't show up in Drive. Also sol still appears to be installed. Please help, thanks

Please have a look at Pure Config app "Main" tab. You might miss some important settings. Also please use the pure ppfilters or Pure compatible filters.

Peter Boese

Having an issue now where the sun is overpowering view, not like direct brightness but more so it washes out the image, everything becomes very dark and barely visible regrdless of PPFilter used and Aalising settings changes, or glare itself. The sun is also flickering now as well. help if possible thanks

True words

Fukuro04

You need a CSP preview version for rainFX. Please look at the Pure 0.222 update post and scroll down to the bottom. If you already got a CSP 0.2.1 preview version, please install it manually: Open the zip file and copy the dwrite.dll and the extension folder to your AC root folder (steampapps/common/assettocorsa)

Peter Boese

hello how do we get this effect of blur and rain on the screen in external view

bingo ! thank you so much @old snapper !

Chastria

Will there be a fix for the rain that is visually missing?

Georgе Tudzharov

Try Content Manager, General, and tick the box for update for untested versions.

Old Snapper

It's called night light pollution. You can lower it in the Pure Config "Night" tab.

Peter Boese

You can lower the effect in the PPfilter. If there is a "sun blinding" slider. You can also customize it in the shader directly. Pure Config app "shader" tab.

Peter Boese

The tire spray and extended physics are much better

Sunblind effect is awesome, but we have need PureSunglasses PP filter now) It's very sunblinding!

Could you tell me how can I fix the sky has orange screen color in night time some track ?

Worachai AofHero

THANK YOU FOR THE PURE VR UPDATE!!!! I ONLY RACE IN VR SO MUCH APPRECIATED.

Greezy Weezy

Have you installed the CSP preview version?

Franco Domerikari

hi Peter. Can you help me out how where i can find help/info about server configuration file for newest pure with newest csp, or how to setup dynamic wheather plans in my cm server ? i find finally how to start server in 'use content manager as server plugin' with Address: 127.0.0.1:12000 Local port: 8004 parameters , its started but i can use just random wheathers , how can i control the weather plans or can i edit somehow the cfg somewhere to make specific plans too??? You are making assetto that will be unforgottable , thanks in advance to your reply .

Jeno Galatz

I've got CM 0.8.2561.39678. watched your video and downloaded it again and rename AppData\Local\AcTools Content Manager to get a fresh install. but still no "replace Yebis..." box in the weather fx tab ! I don'understand why ? renamed Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\extension and no changes ! mysterious ?

Chastria

Thank you, by the way, this Pure is really a milestone, very well done. I have one suggestion: in the shader patch there is a small window when you move the mouse over the settings. It would be helpful if you could also implement this in tonemapping, for example, if possible for laymen.

Rainer Musch

Reset to defaults in Pure Config app. Use the pure ore pureCandy PPfilter.

Peter Boese

Just read the post carefully. At the bottom is a disclaimer, that you need a CSP preview version for rainFX. The video shows you where you get it and how you must install it....

Peter Boese

NO RAIN FOR ME ONLY SOUND?

how do lower rays mine crazy

Vc ta precisando o ultimo CSP cara isto e porque

Andy Eadie

This is beautiful Peter. Driving in rainy night time Fukuoka has never been more atmospheric. The new sound effects in the wet are much better too. Thanks for all your work!

Andy Eadie

You are right. I have already reset the Pure config settings to default. Now I've also completely reset all my CSP and AC settings - I've been experimenting and adjusting a lot of things for months, so I really needed an all-back-to-default. And then of course I reinstalled Pure. Now everything is OK even if I don't tick the "Replace YEBIS with lightweigt alternative" box.

You need to install the latest CM like shown in the video for that option in weatherFX.

Peter Boese

hello I've got the CSP 2.01 but no "Replace YEBIS with lightweigt alternative" box ! anyway I tried "Exposure is driving focused” in vr mode and it's magical ! Thank you Peter ! would whipers noise be adjustable in the future ? with some cars ti's too loud.

Chastria

This actually just prevents the Yebis godrays. So maybe reset your pure settings and the option unchecked should work again.

Peter Boese

Try ticking the "Replace YEBIS with lightweigt alternative" checkbox in the CSP settings/WeatherFX menu.

Maan, this is awesome! I was just able to try 0.222. The first time I used the Pure PP filter the image was too bright, as someone wrote above. Why was that? Because I was lazy and did not read the "new features and changes" readme. Then I read it and ticked the "Replace YEBIS with lightweigt alternative" box in the CSP 2.01/WeatherFX menu. As you wrote.:) Fixed! So this upgrade turned out incredible, very lifelike experience. Thanks!!!

If the filter has a custom tone mapping, you reset it in the script settings. Scroll down. There you see buttons for the script settings.

Peter Boese

céu fica preto porque?

How can I undo a change in tone mapping, for example? Reset Pure and Reset To Defaults have no effect.

Rainer Musch

Please read the Pure update post carefully. Scroll down to the bottom. There you have a link to CSP preview. You need to get this for rainFX

Peter Boese

May I ask what's the problem with my floor not having puddles?

WilliamWeng

That worked, legend.

Rabz

Please reinstall it like in the video. something is not installed right! Do it exactly like in the video!

Peter Boese

Yea I got the warning and hit the ’ fix it ‘ tab but still the same. It’s like a weird grainy filter I think it’s the sun blinding. Also pureHDR drops my FPS below 40, it usually averaged 90-100 prior to the update.

Rabz

Not sure why but enabling a vpn connection to download from MediaFire solved the network error download failed issue. Thank you for Pure it just gets better all the time and looks incredible.

Just go to Pure Configs "shader" tab open the sunblinding shader and reduce blinding and cover.

Peter Boese

Same idk what it is, I haven't actually looked but I could be sun blindness in pure configuration

This is how it looks, whether im facing the sun or near it. I get this weird film grain filter. Happens on both of my PP filters C13AEGIS and SKYDC, so idk what the issue is besides PURE. Any input? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/758111487964348458/1175229201108959363/image.png?ex=656a787c&is=6558037c&hm=70b1a57f80babc9bb4648a3ebe60d9999aa9d89ffd835c2555b94dbf934f7f5a&

Michael Cano

How does it look?

Peter Boese

Is there something wrong with the sunlight in this current version of pure? Im getting a weird filter when I look directly at the sun.

Michael Cano

Peter Boese

HI! Great Update! Rain is pretty good now. Somewhere i read that i can use Pure in Challenges/Season as well. can´t find that post anymore. so. knows?

Norman Rohrseitz

Just have a look into this file: \steamapps\common\assettocorsa\extension\config\lighting_fx.ini there are hidden parameters: HEADLIGHTS_RANGE_MULT=1.0 ;; hidden HEADLIGHTS_NEARBY_MULT=1.0 ;; hidden HEADLIGHTS_DISTANT_RANGE_MULT=1.0 ;; hidden HEADLIGHTS_SPOT_MULT=1.0 ;; hidden

Peter Boese

Any ideas on how to widen headlights and brighten then a little at night?

Thanks for the update.

Thank you Peter, I wasn't expecting attention from the Man himself, thought maybe someone else might have had the issue, but very much appreciate your response. Unfortunately I am having the issue with the links in the Patreon post. I just tried using my phone as a hotspot, to access www in a different way, but I had the same network error. The file appears to download and then at the very end of the download the error is generated, in every case that I've tried so far. I will try again using someone elses PC this evening in the hope that maybe all my pcs have some software that is causing the error.

Just look if the Pure Config main page shows some warnings if you experience such things. Its not meant to have such effects.

Peter Boese

all my pure pp filters are too bright now nothing looks good anymore pure candy is as bright as the sun im going back to the other version

Rabz

Please install everything like it is shown in the video!

Peter Boese

Do you use the links from the post or from the email? If you mean the email links, i need to change them, so please use the links from the post!

Peter Boese

Is anyone else having trouble downloading pure 0.222? Mega says file doesn't exist and Mediafire fails with network error! I have tried Win 7, Win 10 and Win 11 machines, in different buildings on different networks with different internet access, using Brave, Edge and Opera browsers. The result is the same every time. "Network Error" when there isn't any network issue at all! Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey Im not seeing the PureVR in the pp filter options?

yup can confirm that still i cant imagine playing assetto without csp and pure now :)

Kozzren

thats the thing it is a fresh install and only the mods i use the most soo

Kozzren

Yes. It will be fixed with the next CSP version.

Peter Boese

Idk. If you use the same date and time and the same filter, it must look the same.

Peter Boese

Hi Peter, thanks for the latest update and all the work you do to keep improving AC. I had the new Pure VR filter looking great the other night. Tonight it looks different and I haven’t changed anything at all. I’ve had this before when a filter looks great then not the next time I load it almost like something isn’t loading correctly and I have to go back to using no pp filter again. Tried reinstalling but wondered if there was anything I can’t try or change in the settings?

Finn Dog

Sometimes I find it easier to uninstall Assetto Corsa completely and start fresh. That way you don't have bunch old stuff possibly causing any issues. I know it takes awhile to get the mods etc to play online servers but really do we need 2tb or cars? :) cheers

Arron Mitchell

So first i just wanted to say peter your a legend making pure so good, but with the latest release and latest csp preview. I get a small bug of sorts where the planner will make the sidebar close and open constantly. Not sure why it does this.

Kozzren

Thank you very much!!!!! Thank you for your efforts 😉

Jonny Sev

thank you Peter much love

Hey Peter, just wanted to say a massive thank you for this update and for helping me solve my issue in Discord! I can't wait to see how Pure progresses!

Please read the post carefully! Scroll down to the bottom. There you see the Rain disclaimer.

Peter Boese

If anyone can help i loaded the game with pure and I hear the rain but don’t see the rain nor the puddles on the asphalt

If you use extraFX, disable motion blur there. Otherwise also disable it in CM - settings - AC - video

Peter Boese

Hi Peter. How do I disable the blur when going fast. If I disable PPF it stops. But is back when on. I guess its a csp setting maybe but cant find it. Thats why im askin here now. 🔥👌

Loppy Flick

customPP is at its start of the development. Glare needs some work for sure. SPS is really tricky. Effects like godrays and the determination of the sun position really need a pass, where the render is made per eye, so you have only 1 sun in the picture. In SPS you have 1 picture for 2 eyes and so also 2 suns. So SPS is really compromising such render effects.

Peter Boese

Pure only controls the rain. RainFX is a modul in CSP. It will not be visible in CSP 0.2 public, no matter what Pure version you use. But you will hear it with Pure, because Pure has its own rain sounds. Those wil work in CSP public too.

Peter Boese

Okay so what i can see the rain without pure installed and alway see it in the preview 0.205

Hi Peter, how to get dew and frost? Is it possible?

Max Schrappe

🤦‍♂️

Rodrigo Mondaca

Amazing !!! Thank you!

Rodrigo Mondaca

Great work once again. Any chance the landscape and sun blinding features will work with Single Pass Stereo in the future? VRS is such a massive visual and performance boost that it's hard to go back. I also noticed with CustomPP that emissive lights are super bright and saturated with the pureVR filter at default settings. If I switch back to YEBIS they look as expected. Is this expected behaviour or would it be some other setting affecting it?

Onur

Pure does not do the rain! You need a CSP preview version!

Peter Boese

Romain Madec

Pure does not bring rain. You need a CSP preview version for rain...

Peter Boese

why i didn t see the rain with the new version

Great work!

same here

Ok, thanks.

KaneOG

try setting "use seasons" to "never" under Settings>Custom shaders patch>Track Adjustments>Seasons

we are already hunting this bug. It can happen with all lua apps.

Peter Boese

Hi Peter, first of all thank you for your amazing Work. With The latest Pure and CSP, the Taskbar glitches in and out when having "Pure Config" and "Pure Planer" apps Pinned. When i unpin them, the sidebar disappears as usual. Is it a CSP or App Problem? Thanks

KaneOG

the best

frami cordero

Please always use the links here in the post. I need to change them constantly, because people share them in the internet.

Peter Boese

Hi, Just installed this version but got all trees and grass color washed up, grass are whites and trees are less greens. sorry for my english

Hello Pete DL links not working

yes I always use newest CSP, it shows when the game started in the Pure Config window, there is these points with instructions how to resolve, was trying to do it but not working, regressed to 0.205 works just fine, thank you Peter for you work, really appreciate

spooky

Excusez moi pour mon message en français, traduit par Google, c'était une plaisanterie ! Votre travail est fantastique !!! Les lunettes de soleil, pour les reflets extraordinaires sur le parebrise. Et ma femme bronze au soleil ! ;-)) Excuse me for my message in French, translated by Google, it was a joke! Your work is fantastic!!! Sunglasses, for extraordinary reflections on the windshield. And my wife tanning in the sun ;-))

RiZou71

Peter Boese for president!!! xDDDD

Diego Perez

be sure you're using the very last CSP version, I had the same message because I didn't realised a new CSP version was released

Diego Perez

Cracking job on this. Really takes things to a new level (once again!!)

Old Snapper

which ppfilter do you use? Also, please reset to defaults in the Pure Config "Main" tab!

Peter Boese

where does it says "Pure not loaded"???

Peter Boese

They have only an effect if you select the 3d billboard clouds (clouds render method 0). If skydomes are selected (default), no setting makes a difference in terms of quality or performance. So they are only visible, if you use clouds render method 0.

Peter Boese

Did the low,med, high buttons get removed from the pure config app?

Ray C

just reverted back to .205 and it works just fine, wth?

Bonjour Peter, J'ai deux problèmes avec le nouveau Pure. Avant je conduisais jour et nuit sans soucis, maintenant le jour quand il y a du soleil, je suis obligé de mettre des lunettes de soleil. Deuxième problème, ma femme a fait un tour complet sur la Nordschleife et à la fin du tour, elle était bronzée ! Votre travail est Exceptionnel ! Eblouissant ! Peter, I have two problems with the new Pure. Before I drove day and night without worries, now during the day when there is sun, I have to wear sunglasses. Second problem, my wife did a full lap on the Nordschleife and at the end of the lap she was tanned ! Your work is Exceptional ! Dazzling!

RiZou71

no, i don't.

Pieter van den Broek

Do you use "AMD fidelityFX" in CSP graphics adjustments?

Peter Boese

Love the new VR PP filter. it is superb! by far the best filter I have seen for VR.

I had a trouble to make Pure PP filter work in VR - on the monitor preview I could see everything but VR gogles remained all back. I had to turn off "AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution" in the Graphics Adjustments tab to fix the issue (even though I have an AMD card and it worked before). Still, I can use "Use FidelityFX CAS by AMD for extra sharpness" in the Post-processing aliasing section. Leaving it there, maybe it'll save someone some time if the same problem occurs.

Yes, because this are only weather presets. Those are just there for the compatibility with Sol and championships and such. It is the best way to leave it like this....

Peter Boese

AC has never looked so good in VR, it's truly a masterpiece!

The Vampire

I was able to race all day in practice (online). But on change to race this evening all my screen went pretty much black. I could not get it to normal, even in offline drive. Turned out i had to disable the new "replace YEBIS" feature. Then all was ok again.

Pieter van den Broek

Thank you for this! One note, the content/weather ini files are named "sol" and show as such in the CM, is it intended? It's definitely confusing while following the YT video where it's called "Pure".

The game looks just awesome with this!

Wanderkroete

Thank you, this is the best AC has ever been.

Morten Eriksen

Ok, just like it happened with the CSP Install, you and Ilja really need to update the installation process, to really get rid of every bug possible. Even knowing that the regular installation goes fine, it doesn't mean that it will not get some crashes, bugs, stutters, laggs, etc. The only and best way to be sure that the installation it's ok, it's as follows: First, execute the uninstall bat that correspond to the Pure version that you have, then go to Steam library, Assetto Corsa, properties, Installed Files, and click on Verify Integrity of files (I don't know how to do this with no Steam installs) ... Then, drag and drop the CSP files (extension forlder and dll) on the root AC folder, replace/overwrite everything. Then, reset the settings of CSP at the "General Patch Settings", click at the bottom of the list RESET, same with the "Graphics Adjustments", RESET... (NOTE: In some cases, it will be needed to do this reset step with some other Extensions on the CSP list) after all that, finally execute the Install Pure Bat with the newest version. Only in this way I finally got a "no problems", errors, bugs, stuttering, etc AC Game. Totally smooth all the time. Please share and/or advice this steps somewhere, people will never get a the true best results possible if you don't do this. And Thanks as always, for your amazing work.

Alex Spin

ok thanks for best pure script :)

Install CSP 0.1.80p442 and then 0.2.1. Its just 1 file missing in the new CSP.

Peter Boese

HI traffic planner doesn't work with this new update?

i have it , i can hear rain but can't see it

Spectrum

Amazing work, the beaming sun effect is simply wonderful !!

Nicolas Hanset

This version of Pure requires CSP 0.2 or later. Install the 0.2 update to CSP in the Content Manager Settings | Custom Shader Patch | About & Updates section.

Ops, my fault! I think I was on the very last CSP release. This sunblinding shader is amazing, it looks like another game. I have been playing with sliders to put it to my liking. I haven't tried the VR ppfilter yet.

Diego Perez

So, I was getting very bright glare on the road surface and setting the exponent high fall off wasn't helping that much. Solved it by reducing input brightness at PP tab to 1.0 then editing the pureHDR PP filter script, DXGI HDR, final brightness 4, to bring the brightness back up without the glare. Good results so far. Of course someone can tweak these to whatever settings suits them best. Cheers!

Ian Omondi

Thanks Peter! The VR filter is amazing and has really improved VR performance. Racing in the rain, just keeps getting better and better with the updates. Also, does anyone know how to get the rear wing lights to turn on and flash during a race in the rain on the Formula Hybrid 2023 F1 car?

Thanks Peter, this is a game changer. I was having some odd autoexposure artefacts with my own custom ppfilter and pure script I had been running with the previous version but I rebuilt it using your pureHDR as a baseline and everything works great now. And the game looks fantastic! I spent a couple of hours last night driving around my favourite tracks and seeing them in a whole new light... Amazing!

That would be great. Let's finish lightning next :) Thanks for your efforts Peter.

Marco Fabro

I'm working on lightnings. Thunder sounds are already working. Snow is not realy possible

Peter Boese

Maybe just watch the install video?!

Peter Boese

Will do. It looks decent so far. Thanks!

Ian Omondi

there's no thunder effect in Pure 0.222, So I used sol if I want thunder effect. doesn't it realize thunder effect in pure not yet?? and more, do you have a plan to make snow weather? (Now... ony rain appears...)

Jay

Solved, I used an older version of CM, works fine now after the update.

how is it installed?

Manu proleyend

Hi Peter, I just installed everything (and also the latest CSP) but Pure does not appear in the wather selection of the drive menue, Pure planner tells me that the contoller is not running and that I should select pure in the drive menue, but there it does not exist. Help please!

Preview issue, resolved

For rain you need a CSP preview version: https://www.patreon.com/x4fab/posts

Peter Boese

I haven't tried the latest version, but I have some problems with trees disappearing in the distance with the previous ones (CSP 346 / Pure 205). So I doubt the the cause is Pure, maybe CSP related ? I will try to reproduce your case when I can.

MoriSan

You need to be running CSP 0.2 or later for Pure 0.222. Update CSP to 0.2 in Content Manager in the Settings | Custom Shaders Patch section.

I'm wondering how to get my rain to work? I can hear it, change clouds etc. But i don't actually see it... Any help?

Do you think it really helps, if you post the same thing again and again. Just watch the install video and do the steps exactly like there and it will work. It's a thing of 5 minutes.

Peter Boese

Come on, please watch the install video!

Peter Boese

Did you install CSP 0.2 or 0.2.1 preview like it is described in the install video?

Peter Boese

Please install CM, CSP and Pure like shown in the video!

Peter Boese

You need a CSP preview version for rain!

Peter Boese

Nice, yes personal adaption is always the key ...

Peter Boese

Please install CM, CSP and Pure like shown in the video!

Peter Boese

skies are black

This is awesome update - everything looks fantastic :) But I prefer PURE over PureVR for my Pimax VR. Did some tweaks to PURE and it has never looked better and still running 60fps (more than enough for me with motion smoothing on and 144hz headset) Thank you thank you thank you !!

rain not working...

Spectrum

i got black sky after update...

Good evening my friend, during the day everything is red and at night it is green, I went back to pure 0.205 which is better and hope to fix the problem.

Sorry for caps!

Just try to set the exponent high falloff. It acts like a compressor for high values.

Peter Boese

AFTER UPDATING AND HAVING THE NEWEST PREVIEW VERSION, THERES A BUG THAT IF I TURN RAIN ON AND HAPPEN TO BE USING A EXT CONFIG FOR TREES THEY JUST DISAPPEAR, ALSO SEEMS PUDDLES ARE NOT RENDERING AS WELL...

I'm having a ton of fun with it. I'm genuinely impressed. I just have a few very bright spots where the sun hits. The sun itself at low angles can get pretty intense. I guess that's the only main thing that needs tweaking for now. Otherwise, it's amazing!

Ian Omondi

I confirm that we have reached an other level with this release and Pure HDR is impressing

You can tweak it even further for your needs, just play with its tone mapping settings in Pure Config "PP" tab. In the HDR tutorial i tried to explain what it actually do.

Nice. I just hoped someone have as much pleasure with the pureHDR filter as i do...

Peter Boese

Peter, thank you. I have struggled for months to get other PP Filters, pure HDR Eye included, to look crisp and consistent in HDR. It was never easy, having to dig deep into script settings to get something decent. pureHDR is a masterpiece. Worked straight off the bat and its actually using HDR's range. I'm even seeing details and lighting I never used to, lol. THANK YOU. Seriously, am an overjoyed supporter. Can't wait for what's next. Cheers!

I actually integrated such effect, but for the stability and performance of the sunblinding shader i was removing it. Maybe i will be able to find a better integration later.

Got black sky too ... where i can find taht instal video ?

Euan Shields

Sun glare is a gamechanger in VR. Thank you so much. I was really looking forward to it. How hard would it be to add ghost lights like you often see when looking at the sun? Like this https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.YjEPibvyuoKaa07cnCIVAAHaFj?pid=ImgDet&rs=1

Pure has no influence on the AI cars.

Returning to PURE 0.205

Ademar Hermida

try to deactivate the sunblinding shader in Pure Config "shaders". But with this hardware there should be no problem.

Peter Boese

Sorry but, a lot better performance with 205 using any PPFilter in VR. Many stutters with 222 (4090 , i9 13900K, so no hardware excuses I think). Tested 3 times (205, 222 back to 205, always using uninstall bat and install bat), always with CSP 0.2.1, same results. Hope you can fix it , Thanks

Alex Spin

Because in career mode the bots enter the box and never leave, you run alone, can someone help me.

Ademar Hermida

Done.

Zgushonka Zgushonkovich

Ok, I tried before, but video was unavaiable, now it works. I'll try it again later. Thanks!

Diego Perez

Please install everything like in the video!!!

Peter Boese

Ok, I removed my post. I found the error. READE BEFORE WRITE :-D . "Pure 0.222 needs CSP 0.2". I used the 442 and hadn't read it. Installed 0.2 and now everything works great.

Ivano Diodati

Like with all CSP versions, you need a preview version to have rain!

Peter Boese

Like with all CSP versions, you need a preview version to have rain!

Peter Boese

Where is the RainFX tab in the CSP? It is not there.

I already have CM installed. Do I have to reinstall it? It doesn’t suit me. CSP and Pure have been reinstalled but still this black sky with this version. When I go back to the previous version I no longer have the problem

johannis

Maybe it's better you come to Pure Discord server.

Peter Boese

1. No errors on main. 2. After config cleanup the issue persists. 3. Yes, all settings set according to docs. except Win10 instead of Win11 4. After Pure Reset the image is good(amazing) (BTW just press Load button also works). No visible issues with grass/road/skyes.

Zgushonka Zgushonkovich

The new version of content manager doesn't have RainFX at all. Not unactivated just not available. Not there at all. Very strange.

I'm on last CM version and now I have updated to Pure 0.222. I can't get pure script running correctly (black sky). I have selected it on WeatherFX and I have tried deleting weather_fx.ini in Documents and steampp sub-folder. I have reinstall CM and Pure several times. I don't know what else to do.

Diego Perez

Did you read the HDR tutorial inside the Pure 0.222 7z file?

Peter Boese

Does the Pure Config app "Main" page shows some errors? You can also try to delete the Pure config file in /assettocorsa/extension/config-ext/Pure. Delete the "pure_config.ini". On the next start, a new file with default values will be created.

Peter Boese

I'm playing with HDR enabled and pureHDR pp.

Zgushonka Zgushonkovich

Great job! Thanks. I have a question: When I start the race, the entire image appears overexposed, so each time, I need to open the settings and select 'Reset Pure' or 'Reset to Defaults'. This action fixes the image. I've attempted to save the configurations, and all the values seem correct, but when I start the race again, the problem recurs, and I have to reset the settings once more. Do you have any recommendations?

Zgushonka Zgushonkovich

ooook tks

Yes i've created a thread on the discord with images

Did you install the latest CM? 0.8.2594....

Peter Boese

No.

Peter Boese

Install CM, CSP and Pure like shown in the video. It is always the solution!

Peter Boese

Used the bat file, it uninstalled old pure and installed update

how did you install Pure? Did you also install the new CM?

Peter Boese

Hi Peter After updating, I have a black sky. I had already heard about this. But what is the solution to Fix this please ?

johannis

Just saw there was a new update to csp overnight installed it and now works - sorry to trouble you and thanks again for the awesome work as always!

james harris

Christmas before time ! C'est Noël avant l'heure !

RiZou71

what CSP preview you got and how did you install it?

Peter Boese

You effing legend, especially for the AI headlight control, that's really important for me personally thank you

Rodger Davies

I will try as soon as possible, if so is it possible to change the multiplier also from Pure config?

thanks for the update - great as always - however run into a problem with this and the latest CSP 0.2 I cannot get any rain effects - i can select in the menu but only hear sounds and no rain on screen or track - any ideas as to what could be issue - using latest pure and CSP preview

james harris

And what if you start it again?

Peter Boese

maybe try the natural mod. Or did you already try to lower the expsoure multi (Page-UP/DOWN keys)?

Peter Boese

tnx Peter, awesome as usual

Stefano Canonica

First of all, thank you always for the extraordinary work. I wanted to point out that with the PureVR filter and the high sun the autoexposure is a bit annoying, let me explain better the filter continues to change brightness based on the direction of the sun, so if you have the sun in front of you the exposure is lowered if instead you have the sun from behind and the exposure rises, these continuous changes in brightness are very annoying in VR. I would prefer a fixed exposure that doesn't distract me with continuous changes during the ride!

Thanks for your work, Peter. It's appreciated :)

Thanks Peter

Arkadiusz Cegielski

hey peter. when i replace the CM in root folder. and when i open it. in the setting there starts an update in green and when i click it the content manager shuts downs!!! help ???

Thank you Peter...just in time too. I just emailed IIja earlier today on an issue I was having with CSP wherein it would crash, unless RainFX was unchecked. This, along with his new update gives me an opportunity for a new start. Hopefully his fix gives me rain again.

Terry Rock

Its up. But it is maybe be really slow....

Peter Boese

You can use any PPfilter, but i just recommend to use PPfilters made for Pure. So just look at the description of the PPFilter and if the modders says its made for Pure then it should be ok.

Peter Boese

Noob question. I should use default Pure PP filter or I can choose any described as (pure compatibile).

Arkadiusz Cegielski

CSP was updated too

Peter Boese

Sorry new here so kins of confused. Is this a just a n ew update to pure?

media fire link pls thank you in adavance

Will come with the next version! It needs more testing and i still have to think about the lincense model i need to choose for the service...

Peter Boese

thanks bro!!!!

Manho Leung

Wow! Finally. Thanks.

Diego Perez

I wish live weather was implemented in pure
