Assetto Corsa EVO has been in beta phase since January 16, 2025. The game has already received a lot of appreciation from fans. Even though racing simulation titles are a little niche and often don't have huge playerbases, Assetto Corsa has always stood out in the genre, boasting the biggest player count. While Assetto Corsa EVO will get a full release in Fall 2025, the game just received an update while still in its early access phase.Mentioned below are the full patch notes from the game's v0.2 release, exactly as disclosed by the developers.Full patch notes for Assetto Corsa EVO 0.2 releaseThere have been multiple new additions to the game, including more cars (Image via 505 Games)Generaladded Circuit Of The Americas - GP and National layoutsadded Donington Park Circuit - GP and National layoutsadded Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo Evoluzioneadded Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTAadded Lotus Exige V6 Cupadded Honda NSX-R (92R)added Maserati GT2added Mazda Miata (MX-5) NAadded Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 (964)The gameplay has been altered so that players have a choice to play in Career or Open mode.Career mode will be the previous progression mode without any backend dependency on gameplay flow.In Open mode, the dealership is an open source of cars for customizing and adding them to the player's local garage. There is no limitation to access and customization options.Open mode also has persistence on locally customized and saved cars."All Cars" button in Open mode car selection allows quick selection of all cars ingame, and also moving them into the garage if the player would like a customized example.Initial startup prompts the player to create a profile and select the desired mode - after that they can switch between the modes at any time.Please note that Special Events still require online connection.Physicsre-enabled fuel and battery consumptionre-enabled gearbox damageLambo and Lancia cardata fixes and tweaksfixed electronics setup settings not transferring to trackwork on dynamic track physics-graphics relation and updateshandling and setup updates to the Camaro ZL1 and ZL1 1LE variantfixed gear shift audio event for automatic gearboxUIadded input filters to vehicles UI pages to listen to appropriate functions on each given pagefix for flickering caused by the thumbnail creation on car purchasecontrols page now has an input poll for itself, solving the ui input filtering.controls page cancel buttonfixed in-session controller navigation issuesfixes to controller navigation and focus in showroom controlslocalization updates for all languagesadded soft configuration to controls page so it responds without applyingcar customization: reject rim design on pending design mismatch (fixing entry duplication)UI: fixed to Fuji track preview images gone missing in some casesUI: video settings tooltipsUI: fixed invalid laps being displayed as best lap in timetablesfixed a VRAM leak caused by the UI engine causing degrading performance over timefixed issues with input devices not sent to the UI and other input-related woesUI: Slider - keyboard/controller control for dual handle slidersUI: Gamemode - togglebutton height adjustment, start position slider visibility correctionforced UI confirm and cancel to OnRelease to simplify input bindingfixed car flickering in radarUI: paintshop - mismatch protection for rim selection due to unresponsive game clientrace weekend and grid customization enabledreplay gallery enablednew weather preset iconscar thumbnails updated capture scene with contact shadows and adjusted spacingshowroom: fixed dash display turning off when customizing rims/parts on a carpitstop timer on HUDimplemented car setup load/save/deleteimprovements to the radar widgetadded black curtains on transitionscar controls widget added in main menutrack selection maintained between game modes (when possible)fixed predicted/delta finish line spikesGameplayadded Open/Career modesCareer mode flow now independent of backend connectionadded "remove vehicle" functionality in Open Mode Garagenew Custom Grid logic and page with car categories - ICE, EV, hybrid and Performance Index (PI)several fixes in pit limiter usage and acceleration/brakingfixed special event starting time going forward with time spent in menuremoved randomization of grid on session loadfixed bug in track limits causing AI opponent driving zig-zag linesimproved pitlane exit spline -> ideal line transitionsfixed end of session timersideal line: changed the coloring to be more helpful for inexperienced driversfixed Suzuka East using wrong pitlane splinefixed Suzuka East track limits through T1crowd density depending on the session: in order: practice, warmup, qualify, raceimproved OEM opponent car color randomization on gridblack-orange flag now resets on restart sessionadjusted timelines for BH, MP, Fuji, Suzuka according to real life finish linesimproved pitbox visibilty, now reflecting status with the hologram colorimproved automatic wipers speed levels, now better adjusting to the actual amount of rain on the windshieldAIThe Quickrace/Race Weekend UI offers improved control over the AI setup, including a range slider for the general AI skill used to select the driver opponents.As preparation, we introduced the "Opponents Behaviour" control, which will replace the "aggressivness" sliders from previous titles.
