Found this on the MP section of the Assetto forum, has some interesting Questions and Answers:

    Early days! But congrats on rolling out MP.

    My input;

    1. The ingame chat system needs an overhall. 98% of players don't know the chat feature is a menu item. Its defaulted to off so I can't explain it to them either. You need a hotkey you can press, and the message needs to be listed across an area of the screen. Just do what iracing has done, including an option to turn messages off if in car.

Yes infact that chat is a leftover of the testing/debug system. The actual main screen for chatting, voting, skipping sessions, kicking users etc, is not yet activated.

2. MP smoothing. Even on a low ping, the movement of other cars is a little bit jerky. Cars on a 250-300 ping are too jerky to race against. A smoothing algorithm is required here.

There is a smoothing algorithm and normally on low ping and good quality connection you shouldn't see other cars jerky. I agree we're not on par of the best multi sims out there but please also count the fact that we only have servers in Italy right now.
Certainly we try to improve on this.

3. The Booking system needs to be junked for public racing. Only having a few minutes to join a server is silly, and if you set a long booking time, then everyone has to sit there and wait 10 minutes for the race to start. Let people join in prac and qual, but not the race. Problem solved.

It is something we're working on it. We considered the system as better for the leagues (and we think it is), but we didn't consider such a big success of free public servers. Early hours though, so let's see how it goes.
We are also working on some alternative solutions.

4. Set a max ping limit as the server host.

True, also we thinking about disabling collisions on clients that get their ping raised way up, for whatever reason.

 

5. Session rankings doesn't work in car.

Which ones exactly? Basic app should work

   

6. Require ability to watch other cars in a session.

Try pressing ctrl+1 or 3 on the numerical keyboard

7. Need ability to share my setup.

Agree, but low on the todo list, maybe a third party app will do this before us

 

8. Need ability to turn on/off other driver names.

press Ctrl+L

 

9. Rift support isn't great at the moment.

err... not related to multi. Also we're under NDA on rift support, we have to wait

 

More as we go. Its fun though! Great work guys.

cheers

    We need filters to exclude passworded servers, a event lobby where you can check other drivers live/chat/garage/times/options, right now it's not very user friendly...
    Also, i only see an average of very high ping servers (200 to 400), will this change in future or is it normal?

There are already filters for passworded servers, just click on the lock icon.
For the high ping server, maybe the fact that all servers are in Italy.

I'm getting loads of crashes atm even in single player - and I've not managed to get onto a server yet.

Just tried to log but it won't let me with Thursday's password just giving me "The password you have provided is not valid"

[vobler]

yeah, but it works (sometimes). and maybe we could use the entrylist, like all dmrs are prebooked.

also i think there is some bugs in the join routine. seems like a sync issue wihen server is changing tracks. please leave it at one track for the time beeing

bmw is not working,  use only one car too.

Just seen that the password function isn't working and a fix is on the way :

acs.exe is just not liking me atm, every time I start engine it crashes - and the once it did take me onto a track the G25 vibrated like hell even before I was moving.  Think I might step back and wait for it to be a bit more beta than alpha. :sad:

Does it work OK in single player?

Vibrating wheel is usually caused by to much force. Set Profiler at abt. 105% and in game st about 90

Good luck chaps

Use our LFS Teamspeak room until I can edit the room names later to just one racing room.

[Blindfury46]

[Seany]

[Blindfury46]

Not a fan of the booking system to join, been trying to get in the server for the last 20 mins to no avail... I can understand not allowing mid race join but this is ridiculous.

 The whole format is spectacularly bad  when you do get in and have a race you are kicked out of the server after the race (and be quick to rejoin or its a 25 min wait)
